Oh,it's the Rolling Stones, think i heard of them before...

With Swiss cheese, and a bit of mustard. :smile: No extra sharp cheddar with a slathering of mayo and several drops of Louisiana hot sauce.It was great but five minutes later a friend came over with a plate full of his wife's egg rolls.They are bloody amazing and i am stuffed,i'm going to have to get up an hour early in the morning to walk it off.I met them almost twenty years ago he is Vietnamese and she is Cambodian.

Left or right handedness doesn't determine if you are a right or left brain dominate thinker but i'm not interested in going into it,i'm going to go make a ham sandwich because my brain tells me i'm hungry.:p

I'm not so sure,i used to think,until this Trump era arose,that the world was on a course of ever increasing enlightenment,moving toward a future of reason,of social healing.I know that's a lot of hippie crap but that's what i used to think. As AI becomes more sophisticated and acquires a body that is part computer and part biological there very well may be a cyborg revolution but they wouldn't protest for equal rights they'd f***ing demand it. :wink: Nah, I think you were kidding yourself. Humans are no more enlightened now, than when we climbed down out of the trees. All the same issues still exist, we are just getting better at pretending they don't. I'm guessing you're a left brain dominant so yeah you're making perfect sense so far.

I been in the right place but it must have been the wrong time I'd have said the right thing but I must have used the wrong line I been in the right trip but I must have used the wrong car My head was in a bad place and I'm wondering what it's good for I been the right place but it must have been the wrong time My head was in a bad place but I'm having such a good time I been running trying to get hung up in my mind Got to give myself a good talking-to this time Just need a little brain salad surgery Got to cure this insecurity I been in the wrong place but it must have been the right time I been in the right place but it must have been the wrong song I been in the right vein but it seems like the wrong arm I been in the right world but it seems wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong Slipping dodging sneaking creeping hiding out down the street See me life shaking with every ho' I meet Refried confusion is making itself clear Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here I been in the right place but it must have been the wrong time I'd have said the right thing but I must have used the wrong line I'd have took the right road but I must have took a wrong turn Would've made the right move but I made it at the wrong time I been on the right road but I must have used the wrong car My head was in a good place and I wonder what it's bad for

You are without a doubt a dooms day person.Cease to exist,hehe,that's ridiculous.At the time all countries are experiencing a similar decline but like any other impact of this sort it calls for social change and will right itself in time.You young fellows are so silly.The sky is falling!!! Developed countries are experiencing a decline. The third world nations populations are still booming..... Yeah,i get ya now,wonder where that may be taking us/the world? I think a nation full of androids would be cool,i'd be tempted to immigrate.;)

Oops sorry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events All i'm referring to is the coming age of artificial intelligence not this Henny Penny attitude that the sky is falling.When a social change is required people will respond,eventually if they are bright enough,it's as simple as that.If they are not bright enough then i applaud their decline.If you really want to worry, worry about what pumkinhead is doing to our country.Worry about the abject reversal of our progressive morality. EDIT:Ok,after reading up on this declining population matter i do find it quite interesting.While the world population balloons Japan's population declines. Appears Japan is going through many social changes as well,for instance getting used to their growing immigrant population and their growing elderly population.Japan go have babies!!! In my area of the US we had to get used to a growing immigrant population too.I was taken aback when my favorite liqueur store was bought out by eastern Indians but now i enjoy spending a little extra time there chatting about this and that,hating on Trump,hehe,that sort of thing...My favorite neighborhood grocery is now owned by Colombians,extremely wonderful people that make an amazing chorizo,oh my Zeus so very tasty.We also hate on Trump BTW....Lovely young ladies there at checkout causing me to shop more than i need to,girlfriend is starting to get wise,that's not good :rolleyes: . Anyway little brother, leave me the hell alone. :tongue:

Ever read,"Future Shock" by Toffler ,well you should,or not depending on your comprehension.... The age of robots/androids is coming,i wish i were one of you young pups so i could see this new age arrive,complete and functioning.I would liken it to the first time i saw a television."A television?!"You say,"what is the big deal about TV?"If you can't imagine never seeing a television before then i can't explain it to you. Androids will be everywhere,they'll walk your dog,make your lunch,maintain your auto,clean your home,home school your children,tend your garden,care for your elderly parents,act as a therapist,dentist,surgeon and on and on.One day you will bond with an android,it's inevitable.Just remember Gandalf told you so...

Huh?,the idea is to replace service type jobs with INTELLIGENT robots/androids.Reproduce?Are you...um...ok?Not getting out much?Sheeeze.. You have just earned a laughing Gandalf.The second one will cost ya..Don't be sorry,be happy. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qcMheG6XNyY/U9ar5iDUPXI/AAAAAAAAAVI/HSAPXfZ2Gk4/s1600/animated_gandalf.gif
