This is the most amazing TED talk, I think, I've ever heard...by Elon Musk. I know now that I have to live at least 20 more years, to see my dreams materialize...they are in this TED talk toward the end, watch the whole thing, it's so interesting!!! https://www.ted.com/talks/elon_musk_the_future_we_re_building_and_boring

Elon Musk is the futurist who fears humans are fated to become merely "the pets" of super advanced AI (artificial intelligence) robots ! I'm sure he has a lot of important worthy meaningful insights to share, though, besides that. Will check out the vid she describes in the above post.

Susy he is not the only genius who has fears about AI robots, Stephen Hawking also has shared his concerns... If you watch the whole video, you will see Elon address those concerns... He brilliantly covers many topics, he is the type of forward thinker that will advance civilization. He even remarks about advances in solar energy for all the world, safe, high speed transportation for all, and colonizing on other planets and the amazing technology he plans to provide on the subject. Was wondering if he got a hold of Tesla's hidden papers...

Who knows what Elon Musk will do in the future, but I'm really hoping he puts out a men's cologne.

Reading a new well-written but depressing novel set in Scotland, which has been optioned by Reese Witherspoon for a movie (she optioned a good thriller a couple years ago, though, which has yet to be filmed), a few Scots call the female protagonist "Hen" sometimes. Which is something cute to call ladies, methinks. She could call a man "Rooster" who calls her "Hen," I guess? Or not? The novel is called "Elinor Oliphant Is Fine" by Gail Honeyman.

Scottish hens are English birds and American chicks. The words have been used for such a long time that they're accepted, but they started as derogatory terms. Chickens are not exactly the most majestic birds, and bird brain is not a compliment. The more a word is used, the more people get used to it. In a few generations, it will not be impolite to call women bitches.
