Most of the humans, the healthy ones, already got out of the planet. However, you're still in the planet. Why? Why? You have a job. You aren't smart. Only smart people can get out of the Earth. You are truly yourself. Aren't? Your feelings can be simulated by a machine. You can feel pain, happiness, fear, optimism, love or even hate. Every day you wake up, set up the feeling machine to your day start great, get a cup of coffee and go to work. Every day. Every day. Work for what? Money. Money for retiring androids.
