Not a problem. I saw this article on my phone earlier today and felt I should ran it past Ludwig.

I’m even more anxious about these issues than usual, since I just finished reading an apocalyptic vision of humanity’s future (Margaret Atwood’s The Year of the Flood). Get a load of this passage on p. 273 of the large print edition, keeping in mind the book was published last year:
