A Then will obey the second law so long as it does not conflict with the first law.
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.
Ahh. The Three Laws of Roboti- eh, Then.
The “it’s” in panel 3 should be “its.”
The second one should be “its”. The first one is okay.
I would have understood that reference back in the early 1970s, long before the movie came out.
I think Pohl’s summation of Then’s character is a good one. So far, based on what we’ve seen, I suspect that he’s probably willing to do quite a lot to further the future interests and stability of his people. While he’s correct that the time for sarnothi isolation from the rest of the world is past, I also suspect that there’s a contingent who – while thankful for the aid from the US & Canada – aren’t interested in simply assimilating into those countries as regular citizens. The end game of this operation seems likely to be the formation of a new sarnothi nation or city-state.
i do wonder if pohl has thought about getting webbed divers gloves?
That’s just sarnothi gloves. You’ve made regular gloves.
Pohl’s hands have no webbing.
Now I kind of wonder if there are sarnothi in other countries.
Good point! We’re getting the perspective on how the US is handling the Sarnothi “situation,” but the Great Lakes border Canada, too.
I wonder if Sarnothi can safely ingest maple syrup?
