I'm sick of saying "It's NOT 'social distancing', that's what I do! It's 
/physical/ distancing!". I reckon that many people are less 
socially-distant from each other now, because of the lockdowns and the 
increase in communication over things like Zoom. Even I have taken part 
in more bloody quizzes in the last year than in the rest of my life.

Spike, you're not unique in being a machine life-form, we are all 
machine life-forms, all 8 billion of us, plus all the trillions of other 
life-forms on the planet (all soft squishy machines, so far). Being a 
machine doesn't preclude being a person, in fact it's a prerequisite.
