Get the post-mortem adoration mug.Weak, Alex. Weak sauce. Pretty soon you're going to be doing your videos in spastically-colored suits and accusing your audience of not knowing what they mean when they say words.
Hym "Wouldn't I be a Post-Mortem, Contingent Nihilist? I mean, I've been pretty explicit. And I've infected Jordan Peterson with it.

At the moment of his death he can assume that the rest of time will occur. His loved ones effectively die with him. And now, in his insane desperation, he's trying to collude with the government to make earth hell for 'the wrong type of person' to poison the well with his own rotting corpse."
