Sentience is overrated

Just to dig it all and not to wonder that's fine.
-Van Morrison "Sweet Thing"

Today's adventure in capitalism reminded me of a recurring theme. I took a three hour commute to fill out papers that I could have just as easily have filled out online, watch a video that was utterly hackable without the benefit of beer, and pointless tests proving I can do what I say I can do. -- All of which could have been done online.

People if you're exploit tech types, exploit their potential as well!

There's a miniseries going on in the Marvel series with T'challa the King of Wakanda (thank you Mr. Kirby) defending his land from some enhanced super primates for the old Soviet Bad Guy days -- The Red Ghost. Jack & Stan invented this guy and his cronies to counter the Fantastic Four about an hour after they had the idea I guess, these guys just made so much stuff in The Day.

The big theme is how much the primates loathe us, One goes so far as to call us the "Perpendiculars" and he hates us for cursing him with his brain and then treating him so inhumanely.

Much beer was had tonight on this
