3 things you never ask a man:

1) Lennon or McCartney

2) Star Trek or Star Wars

3) Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing

Bonus:

What does it mean to be human, and what distinguishes us from the machines that we have fashioned? Is it our capacity for reason, for morality, for creativity, for empathy, for love? Or is it something more ineffable, more spiritual, more divine? And if we can endow our artificial progeny with these qualities, or at least with the appearance of them, do we not also confer upon them some measure of dignity, of rights, of responsibilities? But then, we must also ask ourselves, what are the motives and the consequences of creating and using such artificial beings? Do we seek to enhance our own lives, to enrich our knowledge, to solve our problems, to entertain our whims, to satisfy our desires? Or do we seek to replace ourselves, to escape our limitations, to avoid our duties, to evade our guilt, to defy our fate? And what are the effects of our actions on ourselves, on our fellow humans, on our natural environment, on our artificial offspring?
