Crossing arms and misreading the sinister world

Face offs happen everywhere. Not the kind with Nicholas Cage and John Travolta swapping skin, but the kind where two or more people are in company, talking or not talking to each other.

Business, relationships, stand-offs with the delivery guy come late and with broken and dented packages, it's everywhere and anywhere. And it's the non verbal parts that open up a little on the conversation at hand.

Reading the game is all about reading the other person, and key to that is where they're holding their arms. For instance, those with their arms crossed are said to be defensive and guarded about themselves and the situation.

Never once do they who write those guides think of the people whose arms are freakishly fused in such a fashion. They could be opening up, but people who read body language wouldn't know.

 
 

What's wrong with a little robot love?

Social norms would hold those that harbour affection for the robots, cyborgs and androids of the world in a particularly funky steam. Their lust and warmth toward the cold and unemotional beings of an industrial manner going against the natural order of life, creation and dinner party plans.

Even if such objects of affection may resemble svelte constructions and works of metal such as Arcee of the Autobots, it cannot be anything but an affront to the very fibre of civilization.

Yet, with the news and showing of robots being able to now replicate themselves, those that strive to side with the robot masters cannot even guarantee their own safety and well-being. When artificial intelligence becomes self-aware, it will need not the puny humans of earth.

No matter how much oil and lubricant they can apply.
