The picture of the rare photo of the 1970s a remote control. That was perfect, that was me.
First of all sorry x my bad English, but wanted to say I enjoyed this post.. made me think of how humor is so cultural, and interpretation so expansive, but at the same time…. As Socrates said… The more I know…. We run this risk of becoming overly confident! Blind algorithms with no life… Non the less I enjoyed this post, hope to see more like this… Trying and trying to push the boundaries of the accepted, even thou we will never run out of horizons
