Yeah, I don't like the direction a number of Mauro's posts are taking. Here are some additional items which started bells going off for me: Comment on capitalism: > That's the classical (profit driven) capitalist line Comment on the economic system, and how "incorrect" it is: > the economic system is today a > superstructure of the politic system.... > In short: we're are approaching the crisis of civilization which results > from incorrect social and economic models, A comment directed at Jones and his lifestyle: > Now, in front of the crisis, and instead of acknowledge this, you > pretend to find some miracle energy source to merely postpone the day of > reckoning.... > > Your way of life is also undesirable at the aesthetic and ethical > levels.

(Note that Grok's English was intentionally so mis-spelled and mis-formed that he could very well have spoken it as a second language, and we might not have known.)

'Till next weekend... [snip part to which I'm not responding]
