Emotionless Eggheads at the top, Idiots with feelings at the bottom

The best line of dialog that ever happened in community happened in their last episode on NBC.  They find Russell Borchert, who has been hiding in a bunker for 30 years, trying to build a machine with feeilngs, because:

Russell:  But without an emotional component, computers would strip us of all humanity and create a society with emotionless eggheads at the top and idiots with feelings at the bottom.  And I refuse to let that happen, and that’s why I’ve spent — What?  What is that?

Britta:  It’s a video of a Kitten

Russell:  And why are those people arguing about it?  And what’s that?

Abed:  That’s an emoticon. That person wants to convey happiness, but they can’t do it with language, so they misuse punctuation to form a smile.

Russell:  *sighs*  That is so … stupid!  Only an idiot would think of this!  Idiots won!

This about sums up my feelings about the world right now.

No, I don't know how to fix it either.
