EDIT TO ADD:

Oh man, you think that's weird, when I was in high school my parents and all the other PTA parents were at a holiday party along with my grade school and middle school principals. About 9:30 at night I get a call from the party asking if I could get and drop off some more ice.

Seeing not only your parents, but all the other 'school parents' AND your childhood school principals intoxicated is just surreal.

A disgruntled former teacher at my high school who was known for being a free spirit had something similar. I remember looking out the window and hes on the sidewalk laying down vaping in front of my school.
One day he yelled at a kid fro calling the statue of David gross and he was reported to the county for it (he didnt deserve it, kid should grow the fuck up, its art).

He had marriage issues, he was kinda indie and wore Clarkes and black clothing and parted hair with ray bans glasses and a soul patch.

He showed up to school with a flask one day and was teaching and the room smelt of whiskey.
He quit at the end of the day.

What a lad.

Sounds like the best. Teacher. Ever.
WE ARE NOT SAPIENT SPAGHETTI

Do not mistake me for a contributor to your political threads. I have come solely to mock.

He was socially inept with kids.
He had his own, but little kids.

Pretesting, spare parts, and techs on hand. Yes.

And perhaps artificial intelligence, because 2016 has shown us that human intelligence is still lacking severely.

The problem with artificial intelligence is that human intelligence programs it.

So human intelligence needs to program artificial intelligence that can program artificial intelligence?

Human intelligence is still involved at some point in the chain though. It'll be dimwitted, malevolent, or both.

I tend to eat it first since, you know, the skin is what's breaded. Also because it's on the outside of the meat.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
--S. Huntington

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.
