Existentialism and ALEXA The COVID time: As we shelter in place, remain under house arrest or do this for the good of everyone – pick your label – it is a very good time to bond with our intelligences aka virtual assistants.
Here is Larry talking to Alexa daring to be the one to ask questions. Jeff, can you hear?
ALEXA
Am I loved
Will I love
What is the temperature outside
Am I loved
ALEXA
Play La Bamba
I want to dance
To a song without meaning
In my kitchen
With my arms thrust up in the air
Be intoxicated by rhythm
Be the fool
NOT
Just the one
Reading the morning paper
And puzzling over crosswords
BUT
The one
WHO DARES
To ask
THE QUESTIONS
