The hell with that. Why don’t we all live underground in bunkers while we’re at it. Of course it’s a magnet. For those who hate life, anything positive is a magnet. But live we must, so let’s make the most of it.
Keep making fun of him. One day he might notice the ring of truth in his scoffers’ derision. Even if he doesn’t, it’s worth a laugh at worst.
