examples occur and kind of chase each other around
in a triangular fashion. 1) The Overlords use
humans / humanity . 2) The Overmind uses humans.
3) The Overmind uses the Overlords. Humans also

Talk shows are often interesting, but sometimes
strange, television shows to watch. Much of what
talk shows portray is for ratings, but if it is
