One day while minding my own business Ryan told me that with AI super intelligence humanity had finally grown up, but the hoi polloi, myself included, were still living like ignorant nincompoops. I told him he had his AI head screwed on backwards.
Over the years, however, something happened to Ryan. One day he told me like a kid bubbling over that the hoi polloi, myself excluded this time, had it right all along!
Then all I heard him say was Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! as he lifted his eyes. I knew he was still having trouble getting his head screwed on straight, but this time I almost wished someone would snap my head on the way Someone must have done his.

Great Six, Frank. We all need to wake up to what’s happening one way or another. Ryan’s thanksgiving made me recall David’s, “how fearfully and wonderfully made” is a human being.

I use AI tools as well. I really like them. I grew up in the days of the card catalog. Now I just type a question and get more information than I can handle. Blessings, Reelika!

We live in a time on the cusp, Frank. Of what, time will tell. Brings to mind John Lennon’s song, “Nobody Told Me.”
