Do you know about the series called "Y the Last Man"? It's also a comic, with the same dystopian future, men are gone. It's not that far from what's going on today...

This is totally my type of book! I hope it went well at Home Affairs, which office did you go to? The one in town or in Randburg?  

Man seems to live in constant fear of his own extinction. The fascination as well as fear seems to me to be a primal fear phenomenon, mixed with a deep negative attitude towards oneself as humanity and the ambivalence towards what one perceives as a friendly, perfect planet, predestined to create life, and what one perceives as destructive and imperfect, without bringing the two into harmony with each other. 

According to which death and birth, creation and decay belong to each other, to my world view. I do not feel motivated to find anything threatening in it, nor anything exaggeratedly glorious. Both the romantic and the dystopian are stylistic exaggerations of those who write books and make films; it is better not to take it literally, but as an expression of an imaginative capacity that merely expresses the imaginative richness of the human being. 

The power of storytelling is a cultural and evolutionary heritage, it would be a great pity to misunderstand this imaginative capacity to the extent that it is about prophetically grim punishment scenarios, either by nature as the evil avenger of human wrongdoing or as a cold and random event force of un-intelligent matter. Superstition seems to be lurking around not far away. 

The trauma of the fear of death, where it is integrated into a human community that manages to frame hard and frightening trials of its young people and thus to integrate the experienced traumas into the living and the confident, there man does not need to think of himself as helpless in the face of the forces, but to see his existence as fulfilling and healthy until he meets his end, the last of all challenges. 

I don't think much of gender-conflicts "resolved" by giving preference to one or the other. It's the differences which are of interest to me, which hold the successes in human kinds history, not only between genders but between each and every single human being. 

Thanks for the recommendation, it gave me the chance to give my view on the matter.

One of my favorite writers

Fascinating premise. Men appear to be disproportionately affected by Covid, so it's not outside the realm of possibility. We were lucky that this pandemic wasn't just a tad more deadly, or things would have been much worse socially, politically, and economically. 

A year before the pandemic struck, I went on a trip to Asia and took a book called [the Dog Stars](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13330761-the-dog-stars). It's a bittersweet tale about a man at the end of a flu pandemic that has devastated most of the world. Only a few people are left, and this story deals with their struggle to survive in this world. A sweet sad tale but very poetic. It was the last fiction book I read befor the pandemic struck. So, it appears that the Gods were trying to send me a message, or they have a strange sense of humor :)

Very interesting post!

Good to have a tire iron handy. 🤣

You had to give fingerprints to get an ID card just to be able to trade crypto? Where is this please? 

It's amazing that you are required to have an identification card in order to trade cryptocurrency. It's like asking for a permit to be able to use ordinary money.
I think the events in the book are very real.
  Fanatics can easily create any virus in the laboratory and send it around the world.
What actually happened now.

While you make it sound interesting, it's not my kind of book. I'm glad you liked it though. Sorry you had such a lousy day. You needed to get this ID to trade crypto? 

The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu is another good one though of a different topic.  I was surprised to pick it up.  I haven't been able to stop reading it.

I laughed so hard at that part that talked about the *Sperm Black market*, haha, this is a joy read. I like the storyline. Even George RR Martin endorses this, so its a must read.

Wow that perfect book for you ❤️
Have a great weekend to you 🙏
God bless you my dear sweet friend @nikv
