Countering another humans-are-weird-is-mild assertion with this - just because a 政权 is working on space (lots of luck, Mr. Lomax) while others are working on which one is built to swim only shows the capability to turn people into μηχανή.

Ending with this because I'm wondering about comparisons made using oil yields and planting area.
