Tonight, we take a break from comics to discuss the fear of artificial intelligence, which has been an evolving concern over the centuries, suggesting that civilization has always been on the path to this rise of automation since the Industrial Revolution spawned the supply and demand economy we have had since then. If you're going to do anything in this nation, you have to understand the history of technology and its uses.
Using iRobot, we discuss the impact of the imperfect person creating perfect robots, like artificial intelligence, which is said to be our future. What an imperfect way to pass on our civilization.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
