You see this cannibalistic behaviour up and down the cosmic scale, with stars and microbes and so on all eating their parents. There’s a kind of spider which does basically the same thing. It’s a perfectly ordinary event in the life cycle of a universe, but obviously it’s unpleasant if it happens to be your universe that is being erased, and I don’t really care if the next universe is going to be a kind of heaven where everyone is happy and there’s no pain and no wickedness. I don’t care if the next universe is the perfect one and this one is warped and disgusting, if other universes in their selfish little bubbles of reality give it a wide berth because it mutters to itself and smells. I don’t care if the universe I was born in is the leper universe and the next one is the Christ. Fuck the next universe. Just fuck it. I don’t like it and I’m going to kill it.
