No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“You have one thing that may save you, and that is your youth. This is your great strength. It is also why I hate and fear you. Hear me out. It has been said that children are our future. But does that not also mean that we are their past? You are here to replace us. I don’t understand why we’re here helping and honoring them. You do not see union workers holding benefits for robots.”

—Stephen Colbert, Knox College commencement address, June 3, 2006
