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.

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?
