IIRC, Russel's thesis was something to the effect of ultimate supremecy of man over machine. I associate "Sept 1952" as the issue. The last frame suggested a certain obviousness and nonchalance in the man unplugging the computer, as if no great debate would be involved. I wonder if the article itself might now evidence too much of innocence back in that day, aside from a prediction that computers would eventually beat humans at chess. Too much innocence regarding technological imperitives and the technosphere?

My intention was for the woman to shoot the man, it's possible I wrote it wrong. They could be both men or aliens or even computers/robots with human like intelligence. If they were both thinking computers the "pistol" could really be a human paid in Monero to go smash the other computers hard drives and backups.
