We worry that the robots are taking our jobs, but (a) just as common a problem is that the robots are taking our judgment. In the large warehouses so common behind the scenes of today's economy, human 'pickers' hurry around grabbing products off shelves and (b) moving it to where they can be packed and dispatched. In their ears are headpieces: the voice of 'Jennifer', a piece of software, tells them where to go and what to do, (c) controlled the smallest details of their movements. For example, Jennifer breaks down (d) instructions into tiny chunks, to minimise error and maximise productivity. Rather than picking eighteen copies of a book off a shelf, the human worker (e) would politely instruct to pick five. Then another five. Then yet another five. Then another three. Working in (f) such conditions reduces people to machines made of flesh. Rather than asking us to think or adapt, the Jennifer unit takes over the thought process and treats workers as (g) an inexpensive source of some visual processing and a pair of opposable thumbs.

① With nearly a billion hungry people in the world, there is only one reason. However, far and away the biggest cause is poverty. ② Seventy-nine percent of the world's hungry live in nations that are net exporters of food, nations that import more than they export. How can this be? ③ The reason people are hungry in those countries are that the products produced there can be sold on the world market for more than the local citizens can afford to pay for them. In the modern age you do not starve because you have no food, you starve because you have no money. ⑤ The answer will be in preventing the trend of lowering the cost of food.

Most people have a perfect time of day when they feel they are at their best, whether in the morning, evening, or afternoon. Some of us are night owls, some early birds, and others in between may feel most active during the afternoon hours. If you are able to organize your day and divide your work, make it a point to deal with tasks that demand attention at your best time of the day. However, if the task you face demands creativity and novel ideas, it's best to tackle it at your "worst" time of day! When your mind and body are less alert than at your "peak" hours, the muse of creativity awakens and is allowed to roam more freely. In other words, when your mental machinery is loose rather than standing at attention, the creativity flows. (a) Creative thinking is well activated when your mental machinery is sharp while efficiency of work is maximized when you feel at your best. (b) When you roam freely such as taking a walk, you are less likely to have innovative ideas than when you are preoccupied. (c) If you have to handle the work that requires the concentration, it is best to deal with the work at your most vital time. (d) If you are an early bird, make sure to attack your creative task in the evening, and vice versa for night owls.
