    good grief. And what next? Why not just become a brain in a juice bucket and not even bother living and embodied life of risk and adventure?

    If there are more than 2 lines the straight odds are that "the other like" will move faster. In fact - I have an idea - just herd the human race itself into some oven, and let the machines rip each other off. They'll be able to do it so much faster and easier without us.

    Maybe the Nazi pigfuckers simply didn't look at things in a big enough way.
