The reality is a race (is race the right word?) of super intelligent robots would quickly lose interest in humans. From the perspective of the robots, humans would be as interesting to them as ants are to us. Maybe a few weirdo robots would make a hobby of studying us, but otherwise, the robots would have bigger fish to fry. Assuming an ever accelerating evolution of their intelligence, the robots will depart soon after they become aware. The universe is just too big and interesting to hang around with the talking monkeys.

….Abbot and Costello’s “Who’s on first?”, this is pretty funny.
______________________________________________

COSTELLO:  I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America.abbott-and-costello
 

ABBOTT: Good Subject.  Terrible Times.  It’s 5.6%.
 
COSTELLO:  That many people are out of work?
 
ABBOTT: No, that’s 23%.  
 
COSTELLO: You just said 5.6%.
 
ABBOTT:  5.6% Unemployed.
 
COSTELLO:  Right 5.6% out of work. 
 
ABBOTT: No, that’s 23%.
 
COSTELLO: Okay, so it’s  23% unemployed.
 
ABBOTT: No, that’s 5.6%. 
 
COSTELLO:  WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 5.6% or 23%? 
 
ABBOTT: 5.6% are unemployed.  23% are out of work. 
 
COSTELLO: If you are out of work you are unemployed. 
 
ABBOTT:  No, Obama said you can’t count the “Out of Work” as the unemployed.  You have to look for work to be unemployed.
 
COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!!! 
 
ABBOTT: No, you miss his point.
 
COSTELLO:  What point?
 
ABBOTT:  Someone who doesn’t look for work can’t be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn’t be fair. 
 
COSTELLO: To whom?
 
ABBOTT: The unemployed.  
 
COSTELLO: But ALL of them are out of work.  
 
ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work. Those who are out of work gave up looking and if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed. 
 
COSTELLO: So if you’re off the unemployment roles that would count as less unemployment?
 
ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!
 
COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don’t look for work?
 
ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes  down. That’s how it gets to 5.6%. Otherwise it would be 23%.

 COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means there are two ways to bring down the unemployment number?

 
ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.
 
COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?
 
ABBOTT: Correct.
 
COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?
 
ABBOTT: Bingo.  
 
COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to have people stop looking for work.
 
ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like a Democrat. Movies Abbott and Costello 3330.85_PD
 
COSTELLO:  I don’t even know what the heck I just said!  
 
ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like Hillary.

Other than Sarah Palins paper clip top and the monotonous drone of political blah, blah, blah, not much going on around the homestead. Cold winter days keep me from golfing and skiing is out of the question. But I do need to get in better shape.
