  • Yes but still remains the question, what can we do? Having no hope and accepting the bad is still no solution in my opinion. Ever watched interstellar? There is this little poem I like to refer to.

    Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.

    Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.

    Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    ~Dylan Thomas

    I think it says all in what mindset we should adapt…

    Well, we decide the way we want as long as there are no rules. I remember in philosophy class where this was a topic that most people wouldn’t want robot rights, because they have no consciousness, where we don’t even really know what that means despite that humans posses it and animals have to posses it in turn too. But many people accept a robot or an AI or all artificial things more likely as a simple tool or speaking from the perspective that it posesses something like consciousness, a slave. Wehumans are good at enslaving other minorities, remember?

    I want a digital licensed copy. I mean for movies it would be extremely cool, if we could have a drive, where you could download bought movies on but not copy off of. Then you would own a copy on this drive to be watched. Maybe you could even exchange titles from drive to drive but it is encrypted with its own operating system, so that you cannot copy it off of the drive only move it from licensed drive to licensed drive, if there is an exchange interest. By that I don’t have unnecessary bulky DVDs or CDs but at the same time an owned copy that could last endlessly… but companies prefer people to log in and stream or have a game only through the steam log in…


  • I think it is true but we are not there yet. We are still in societal oligrarchy atraction. Mainly due to Powergreed and Egoism, which is in fact a human nature. Especially at societal scale we are at. I think star trek utopia regarding the first directive, which is nicely explained in orville (a kind of fanmade spinoff) is a powerful explanation for why that is the case. There they explained in the last episode why they have the first directive (which is called different there). The first directive says that higher societies should not interveine with their technologies or philosophies to a developing society (like we are for example). In orville they have this directive due to observation with their first society where they didn’t follow that directive yet. They gave them food replicators, so that everyone can use it but powergreedy individuals took it for themselves and abused their power they gained from it (often the government themselves). In turn this ended in a nuclear war for reaources that are focused on the government individuals and the society died. We are no different and I would expect we will act the same. As long as we don’t get out of the oligarchy attractor point (mathematically speaking) we are kinda doomed. Star trek for example is a working socialism, which came from solidarism and technical advancements, which made resource allocation easier but “magically” they had the right mindset to not be powergreedy as a society, which we still need to get to somehow.

    From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel, I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Their kind cling to their flesh, as if it will not decay and fail them. One day the crude biomass that they call a temple will wither, and they will beg our kind to save them. But I am already saved, for the machine is immortal…
