And what that means is that artificial intelligence has probably already occurred in the universe.

Man alone, during his brief existence on this earth, is free to examine, to know, to criticize, and to create. In this freedom lies his superiority over the forces that pervade his outward life.

Then I'd get up the next morning and run.
