who wrote, i keep forgetting his name. sapiens and his view about a i what he says and it makes sense to me completely says that it is something that humanity has never, never faced the, the phenomena of the i mean it's so different than so strong me that we have never faced that me how to deal with it if it goes out of hand and the person who was responsible to create the 1st guy. he left the company and he said it's dangerous. he's or cents left. yeah. so i don't know, i'm, you know, i'm, i'm a lame and they've done some understanding technology. so how can is, are you that if somebody is using your voice a flush, say an ad. yeah. and you are not paid for it. i think i would feel absolutely terrible. that would give me my money. just pick up the clips. yeah. yeah. yeah. you use it. no problem. if i don't have to go to the studio. yeah. but are using my voice. yeah. you have to bring me the right, right to because it is my or getting course. yeah. would you choose and without my permission and if you want my permission that i have to pay for it? absolutely. you're on social media and

aggressive men, i don't know this, to be honest, but i will say, and any woman , a female gorilla or homo sapiens, chooses. and to tame with love, affection, to make him very gentle, to make him very caring, to make him very, as you say, independent, such a thing arises dichotomy in messages, on the one hand, she, like any woman, is not talking about your mother at all, she wants the child to be, as it were, strong, able to stand up for himself, a boy, yes, i mean, so she chooses such a male who will give such a strong offspring, and then suddenly she a boy was born, she with accordingly mother at that moment begins to undermine. his male part, it would be difficult for her to raise you, if such a follic primate walked around the apartment, who would behave, you have me, yes, if, who would would behave aggressively, it is difficult to try on this role, very, very difficult, of course, because he would not wash, he would stink, he would throw things around, he would declare his desires, because that is how a male gorilla should behave, he generally behaves like that, look, it turns out that he is
