Your computer can perform millions of operations every second. What do you suppose it thinks about in between mouse clicks?
A. Computers can't think. Only steering committees can do that.
B. Probably some boring topic that only a machine could deal with,
like calculating the optimal way to relieve poverty worldwide.
C. It's wondering what humans did to become so weird.
