Society needs people who take care of the elderly and who know how to be compassionate and honest. Society needs people who work in hospitals. Society needs all kinds of skills that are not just cognitive; they're emotional, they're affectional. You can't run the society on data and computers.

got a decent bot rolling that's decently context aware. I haven't imported half the posts yet but it's alive for now ( bottom right - blinking terminal prompt ) Kept it as a terminal in honor of my first attempt back in 2008 with JavaScript that would answer exactly six questions and emulate typing.

Twenty-five years ago, Wikipedia was an unlikely idea: a place where anyone could share free knowledge. Today, it’s one of the most visited sites on Earth, not powered by corporate ads, but by people.

25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

This is from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson aired on May 20th, 1977. Carl Sagan says something very important, a strong message that didn't lose any validity since then.

I expected him to be, like, “You’ve got to suffer,” and this and that. But one thing that stood out was something he “The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life—and one is as good as the other.”
