I don’t want to talk about CJ Chilvers’ thoughts on automation, I want to talk about CJ Chilvers blockquoting of Kurt Vonnegut about why he goes out to buy a single envelope rather than order a box of them to have at home, because it mostly expresses the reasons why I go out to have a latte and read a book rather than do those things at home. Especially the bit about there being dogs. I don’t have dogs, I have cats, because I’d be a terrible dog-owner, and other people’s dogs are the only dogs I ever get to see and/or pet, and, really, I would spend more time with other people if I never actually had to interact with them and only had to interact with their dogs.
