    What really differentiates "inanimate" material from "living" material.
    We know the symptoms of that difference, and can manipulate those symptoms in many ways.
    There are theories and beliefs as to what that + might be.
    But at this point we don't truly understand the real cause (of life).

    Talking about dam telemarketers. I usually try and pull over when I get a call, I might need to write info down etc. Then to my utter disgust its a dam voice recording sale’s pitch, WTF. I wonder who these people are who will buy a product from a f robot pitch. It’s crazy, I wish there was an app that collects telemarketer numbers and blocks them. If there is a smart guy or girl out there that is in the app racket, Please make it. As a reward I will secure you and your family with fishing rights on all the Sappi dams in the Imvoti valley.

    Nope. What you want is an app that will answer the call, cough every now and then, and keep the line open for as long as possible - all without you being disturbed.

    When I got those calls, I used to hit the red button. Nowadays I just put my phone down next to me and let the meter run.

    I like your tactics and app idea. F U telemarketers (the boss not the guy phoning).
