I was remembering today the @debianFR developer Jérémy Bobbio (Lunar^), who died November 2024 of cancer.
One time I was discussing with them the United Nations' 1948 document "The Universal Declaration of Human Rights". Lunar strongly rejected this document as any basis for ethics. When I asked Why, they explained, "Because it supports private property and Fuck That."
Here's a quote from @[email protected] 's novel _There Is No Antimemetics Division_ that feels really fitting for this moment:
> We have been, inevitably, losing. But we have been losing as slowly as humanly possible.
"Homeland is a state of having escaped."
--Theodore W. Adorno
People arrive at their beliefs about the future using various ideologies. But philosophers like Walter Benjamin found in astrology more than just an inane relic from a pre-scientific era.

Part 4 in my series on Walter Benjamin asks "Can you kill an angel"? The answer, surprisingly, is Yes!

Surely many other first names are based on nationalities. What other ones?
