Just had a singularly weird conversation on Facebook.  Ostensibly about 
artificial intelligence, the conversation meandered around until I asked 
for his motivation for a project he is working on.  And he said:

"Cultural preservation".

Woop, woop, woop, red alert!

So I asked him "which culture", and pointed out that our own culture is 
no where near the possibility of going away -- not like other cultures 
have.

Silence.

So I said "hey, good chatting with ya, here's my email" and so forth.

"Okay thanks".

I guess I didn't react properly to the dog whistle? Heh.
