It’s like one of those pitch meetings where the conversation goes something like this:

• That would be a bad idea.
• Yes, but money.
• I’m not going to do it. Your idea sucks.
• Yes, but money. Also, I’ll just hire another director who will bend to my will.
• Oh, ok then. Money it is then.

Well, at least some parts of you are outside the bone prison. Insects don’t have such luck, since the chitin is on the outside and everything else is permanently locked inside the exosekeleton. It’s even in the name: exo = outside. Jellyfish, octopuses, squids, worms, slugs, snails and some sea creatures are pretty lucky in this regard.

So, maybe Randall assumed that the nanobots had already devoured all the outer other planets completely before finally stopping with Earth.

To which the answer is: “As high as a kite.. No, wait. Higher. A GPS satellite? No. Even higher. Voyager 1 should be about right.”

So, is this the right one? At least the colors match, but it doesn’t have any stripes.

Those orange and brown stripes remind me this Minecraft cat. Such a beautiful color.

Some popular sayings I've smashed together: "Don't count your omelettes before putting all your eggs in one basket."

Bonus saying: "We'll burn that bridge when we come to it."

A best selling author probably isn’t the best writing one. Actually, when the back cover of a book has various praises like that, I consider them a red flag.

Many highly praised business books like that are actually just mostly trash and useless fluff. Good books don’t necessarily get much fame or popularity.

Other people have already given the right answer, so I’ll give the wrong answer.

Kelvin Farad, a unit for measuring something exotic related to capacitance and absolute temperature…. Sounds like something you could use to measure the performance of a hyper-space jump gate in a sci-fi story.

Either that, or simply potassium fluoride. Seriously toxic stuff BTW.

Millionaires own land, commercial buildings, mansions, villas, stocks, bonds, Lamborghinis and yachts that can be pledged as collateral. Banks love to mitigate risks with assets that are easy to liquidate.

Those things are really intuitive, and anyone should be able to understand them. The digital world is completely different and alien, which makes it difficult to think about. People don’t understand it, so they can’t be expected to have a rational opinion about it.
