When you buy an orchid, it is always a risk. You see only a dry, brown thing and you must be lucky. The plant may be ugly or dead, or it may be just a nice one. Or you might be really lucky and you buy a new kind with new colours and shapes. It was perhaps the hope of some such happy discovery that made Winter Wedderburn go so often to these sales. He was a shy and lonely man, who had enough money to make sure he didn’t have to work in his life. He could collect stamps or coins, or translate Horace, or write poems. But, he grew orchids in his little hothouse. “I think,” he said over his coffee, “that something is going to happen to me today.” He spoke, moved and thought slowly. “Oh, don’t say that!” his housekeeper, who was also his cousin, said. “You don’t understand me. I mean nothing bad…though I don’t know what I want to happen to me. Today,” he continued, after a pause, “Peters’ are going to sell some plants from the Andamans and the Indies. I will go to London and see what they have. I may buy some. ” He started to think. “Nothing ever happens to me,” he added. “I wonder why? A lot of things happen to other people.” “I suppose it’s annoying. But … you see, nothing ever happens to me. When I was a little boy I never had accidents. I never fell in love as I grew up. Never married… I wonder how it feels to have something happen to you, something really interesting.” 1. What theme is best suggested in Section 1 and illustrated by the character of Wedderburn? (Explain why, please.) A. The hope of emerging from obscurity B. The release that comes from relinquishing notions about beauty C. The maturing that happens when one is open to new love D. The pleasure to be found in nurturing new life

the sun warms our planet, and with the moon, creates the tides. the moon orbits the earth and in turn, the earth orbits the sun. because they appear to be the same size in the sky, the sun, earth and moon work together to create eclipses. when the moon is directly in between the earth and sun

what are the lines. come on!

yes as the core issue is an ever increasing majority of human workers   will become permanently unemployed as ever cheaper ever more intelligent automated machines inevitably replace more expensive human workers with each passing year.

economic growth now and in the future requires that fewer jobs are created for human workers. this is the desirable inevitable consequence. the automation of the jobs of human workers is the most profitable economically productive activity on the planet.

so as a global society we need to have a plan to deal with this inevitable change.

automation has been, is and will always be a friend to human society if human society on a global basis is prepared to deal with the inevitable consequences.

what is key is that automation killing all jobs is only a matter of when not if.

the real question is can we get past the now invalid assumption that most humans can work for a decent wage going forward.

i spent my working career increasing automation and increasing efficiency. this consequently reduces the hours worked by humans while increasing the output economic goods and services at an ever decreasing price.

why not have ever cheaper ever more intelligent automated machines create the vast majority of required economic goods and services as opposed to human workers?

why not have most human workers working less and retiring earlier?

there is much more to life than working forever.

fortunately, automation has been going on for decades and will continue as an irreversible process as ever cheaper ever more intelligent automated machines permanently replace more costly human workers.

i write this answer for the people that have an open mind and are not living in the past this is what i feel most effectively deals with the tractable issues that automation creates.

the question at hand is how we deal with automation going forward as a society.

automation is only a threat because society has yet to acknowledge automation is happening let alone effectively a having a plan to address it.

a conservative libertarian free market idea where individuals choose what economic goods and services are produced in the free market as the free market supply will respond to free market demand. this is not a centrally planned communist economy.
