Abstract
In the wake of the elision of the 35th and 40th anniversaries of the History and Philosophy of Geography Research Group (HPGRG) of the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) (RGS-IBG) due to a coronavirus pandemic, the paper takes advantage of the anniversal twists and turns to deconstruct what is going to come without getting any closer and without moving any further away, and to hail the cancerous growth that is driving the revolution of geographical thought. With candles at the ready, my birthday wish is for geographical thought to perish, save the cancer (and the virus).
