Now, all you have to do is click a box that says, “I AM NOT A ROBOT”. Any hacker with half a mind should be able to work around that. But it brings up a point: What are robots doing on computers anyway? Aren’t they supposed to be mopping our floors and doing the dishes? This is what Robert Heinlein said they would do. Of course, he also went forward in time (or was it backward) (or was is suspended animation) in “The Door Into Summer”. This was the book that made me a Sci-Fi lover and a cat lover. Named my first cat “Pete”.
One website, I think I managed to get something like 14 or 15 of the ‘click the bridge/bus/car/bicycle/truck/hydrant/stairs/motorcycle/trees/hills/boat’ variety.

Free will? What’s that? Nobody’s free to do or say what they want in this PC CC era. (CC for cancel culture).

Sitting at my computer, clicking away, proves I have no free will.

So what is “free will” and how do you prove to someone else that you have it?
