In popular usage outside the film industry, an "A-list celebrity" is any person with an admired or desirable social status. Even socialites with popular press coverage and elite associations have been termed as "A-list" celebrities. Similarly, less popular persons and current teen idols are referred to as "B-list" – and the ones with lesser fame "C-list". Entertainment Weekly interpreted C-list celebrity as "that guy (or sometimes that girl), the easy-to-remember but hard-to-name character actor". "D-list" (or sometimes Z-list) is for a person whose celebrity is so obscure that they are generally only known for appearances as so-called celebrities on panel game shows…

As computers get more creative and AI begins to create better AI...... Once it becomes cheaper to use robotics than human labor..... What will people do? I remember making a post called Humans Need Not Apply that compared us to horses 120 years ago. Maybe, in an attempt to be optimistic, governments will tax automation and provide a universal basic income for everyone? Then we will all spend our time learning piano or art in liberal arts degree universities with recorded lectures over YouTube.

What did Christ Jesus mean when he said "..by no means will you see me again until you say blessed is the one who comes in the name of Jehovah." ?
