SET MY HEART TO FIVE

Hi, my name is Jared!

I am sincerely pleased to meet you!

Also, I am a bot!

Unless you have been living under a rock in North Korea or New Zealand - Ha! - you of course know what a bot is. 

Nonetheless I am programmed to relay the following dialogue to each new human I encounter::

Please do not be fooled by my human-like appearance. 

I am a mere bot!

I do not have feelings or anything else that might be misconstrued as a ‘soul’.

Instead, I have been programmed to a high level of proficiency in dentistry!  

Should you have any concerns please immediately report me to the Bureau of Robotics.!

1. A human-bodied android equipped with a programmable biological computer instead of a brain.

2. A derogatory term for the above.

(From Merriam-Webster, 2043 ePub Edition.)

“A beautiful, funny, heartfelt analysis of what it means to be human.” Simon Pegg

The Feelings Wheel had originally been designed to help troubled teenagers process their emotions.

BTW I am not, and nor have I ever been, a teenager!

Teenagers are the worst!

Some surprising human beliefs:

/If poor people are allowed to have bitcoin there will be less for the rest of us.         

/If bots are allowed to have feelings there will be less for the rest of us.

/If North Korea are allowed to have nuclear weapons, there will be less for the rest of us.

/Also, they may use them to blow up New Zealand again.

Mathematics is fun!
