@Rainmaker1973 This is so satisfying to watch. People who think that in the age of intelligent machines, there won't be anything for us to do, we will finally have time to do things like this not because we have to make a living, but because it's art.

@KimDotcom Calling them leaders is a misuse of the word. A leader is someone who shows the way. The correct term seems to be rulers. Western countries are being ruled, whether they like it or not. Not governed, not led. Ruled.
