Yep you got that right . <| sep |> I suspect robots are less efficient than animal bodies at transforming chemical energy to mechanical work . Once the robots are built using fossil fuels their operating efficiency might be greater than that of humans , but a lifecycle analysis of muscle power versus electromechanical work would be interesting . My point is that robots are likely to fail when cheap fossil energy is gone . <| sep |> TY , and yeah , I ' ve pretty much resolved myself to get a referral in January even if I manage to stay upbeat and chipper across the holidays , I won ' t let the illusion deter me this time around . I get the editing thing too , I do it constantly , I ' m capable and don ' t make errors , but I ' ve honestly never told any human on Earth whats going on in my head , though I gave a little to my new GPPCP . I was kinda shocked when she took me so seriously . I really don ' t intellectually fear psych hospitals anymore , but I can ' t honestly say that the childhood fear I had is gone , just that I recognize it as irrational . It ' d mostly just be a problem of interrupted work and a loss of the air of dependability I ' ve built , always the person folks could lean on , but never allowed to lean back as it were . I think that has to change though .
