Debate updates

[Update, 9/9/24: I was thinking about the upcoming debate between Harris and Trump and how when it's over I'll be writing that neither candidate said anything or was asked anything about the imminent end of "the human race" and "civilization" as currently defined, and then I realized that there will be no point to that essay because although many people will agree, they won't see what they're supposed to do about it, since no one can do anything about it. And then I thought, I'd better not be defeatist myself because that would spell- you guessed it- defeat.]

[Update, 9/11/24: As anticipated, I watched the Harris/Trump debate, noted that there was no mention that the human race is likely breathing its last frenetic breath, and decided to avoid risking Broken Record Syndrome by not writing on the subject- outside this quick update, which I hope the reader will forgive! ]
