    My BA is from the University of California, at a time it was rated the best university in the country. I still think the degree was a clerical error, but I'm not giving it back. That was 40 years ago. Yes, I have daughters, and sons, and grandchildren. I'm sure none of that is in your barren future; it would get in the way of mindless acquisitiveness and relentless self interest. Buy things. Surround yourself with trinkets and sycophants. All that pretense and ego bloat must be hard to carry around. Have your personal trainer help you with that. May your materialism bring you exactly what it brings anyone with that view of life: a big bankroll and and empty soul.
