I added in a quick edit for a little context, but who knows? What if you live your life recklessly, than a few years after you die, they find out how to extend the human lifespan? That would suck, wouldn't it?

Ask NaS these questions. I ain't NaS.
TG me. Just do it.

And when people think snark, they think Harry Potter and Facebook cats.

Life's too short to suffer fools gladly. Smile and nod, but tactical retreat to more interesting places is sometimes in order.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

I think we've over-extended the metaphor, at this point. They're still wild animals. Wolves took many generations of breeding to become our faithful companions, and even domesticated cats are still inherently wild.

Wolves are for pussies.
