I'm publishing this as a joke [and to some of you it will seem to be just that] but in reality there is NOTHING inane about the ROBOTIC REVOLUTION:

Either you are WITH IT or you are NOT.

DOUBTER:
What??? are you saying that I could lose my job?? Robots are going to come and take over the world?? crazy crazy crazy...

PROPHETESS:
You can jump to whatever conclusions you like: that's your business. All I'm telling you is that there will be a ROBOTIC REVOLUTION and I'm good enough to let you know, considerate prophetess that I am--that the revolution is AROUND THE CORNER.

DOUBTER:
I work in construction...just tell me...robots won't be doing that?

PROPHETESS:
Get ready for some BIG social changes. Get ready because a man named BILL GATES is not just a Computer Scientist: he also happens to have very much PROPHETIC INCLINATION; Bill has been known to make predictions and they will come to pass.

DOUBTER:
D*mn you prophetess!! Tell me if I'm going to lose my f*cking job.

PROPHETESS:
Because of you're bad mouth and because you know not how to address a prophetess [or a lady for that matter], I believe I'll keep that bit of information to myself.

DOUBTER:
I'm sorry...it's just I have to support a family, I didn't mean to talk to you like that.

PROPHETESS:
Well, the way I see it, since you don't really believe in the ROBOTIC REVOLUTION anyway, why should you be concerned? I'm just a woman, I make mistakes, and what if this prophecy is wrong?

DOUBTER:
Is it wrong?

PROPHETESS:
No, of course not. It's 100% right: but if you think it's wrong, it is not for me to interfere with your free-will: I know the difference between a HUMAN and a MACHINE. I won't treat you like a machine and convince you to conform to my way of thinking because that shows a lack of respect.

DOUBTER:
I don't know if I believe it... maybe...maybe not...I don't know what to think.

PROPHETESS:
Then return to me when you have made up your mind to believe and then I will answer your question about your job.

DOUBTER:
It could be too late then.

PROPHETESS:
You're right: it could be.
