Jesse Watters thinks humanity has nothing to fear from Artificial Intelligence and if we all end up dead it's no big deal because we won't know we are dead. Amazing logic. He also has pondered such questions as "Is a seal a fish?" and "Do trains have wheels?"

Listen, I’m a witch, I get there are things we can’t explain, but do some research please. Even back during the #AgeOfExploration, people were trying to figure out how Cricumnavigate the Globe. If you don’t trust science, trust #History. And no, don’t use tags to give out misleading info. It’s rude.

Balboa’s achievement is remembered today as a turning point in the Age of Exploration. What was once an ocean unknown to Europe became a central route in global trade, conquest, and cultural exchange.
