Welcome to the click free zone -- The Pundificator's first ever "all-in-the-post" story.

Apparently finding love has become too easy so there is a growing trend toward making it harder.

According to Axios, major dating platforms like OKCupid, Hinge and Bumble have introduced filters to sift out matches with "incompatible" politics. There are now specialized dating apps for Republicans. I guess Democrats don't need them because the vast majority of the dating demographic share their views.

Perhaps that will matter more to politics than to the continuation of the species because, according to economist and commentator, Arnold Kling, (reviewing a podcast) "I have absolute confidence that our species is moving in the direction of conceiving children in laboratories and not through sex."

There follows much statistical stuff about fertilized eggs and harvesting stem calls, but there are some splendid opportunities here.

First we are well on our way to getting rid of that pesky sex thing and, with it, the #metoo movement and perhaps Valentine's Day itself.

Second, the harvesting of stem cells from masses of fertilized eggs should go a long way toward even more ideological sorting and polarization, to the benefit of the all-important election and power grabbing industries.

Could sex be on its way out after the world's longest undefeated streak?

What a fine day to celebrate these excellent developments.

Ironically, I will spend Valentine's day in a west to east crossing of Nevada, once the nation's divorce capital.

No request to share with others today, but how about some feedback for me?
