  • If you haven't seen "Spot", take a look at this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8YjvHYbZ9w). Maybe it's the association with teeth and snarling that makes me feel even more uncomfortable about "Spot" than "Atlas", but then again a "Spot" plus cameras and tazers (or worse) isn't a great thought either.

• Paul Ehrlich, The Population Bomb, Ballantine Books (1971). My favourite quote from the book (page 6):

"Hopefully, you are convinced that the population will have to stop growing sooner or later and that the extremely remote possibility of expanding into outer space offers no escape from the laws of population growth. If you still want to hope for the stars, just remember that, at the current growth rate, in a few thousand years everything in the visible universe would be converted into people, and the ball of people would be expanding with the speed of light!”
