If adaption is likened to lieing down in front of an on coming "truck" so that
it goes over you rather than on you, then one also has to consider how we stop
the wrong kind of people from driving the "truck".
Especialy as the "truck" keeps on geting biger.
CAKE & CABLE SHUTDOWN
I've made this small note warning of debt induced war and its causes.
I made it from research after dreams dreamt some years ago that a 3man team
would cut cables by rail lines+ robots tererizing military listening stations.
DANGER-ROBOTICS COULD DESTROY DEMOCRACY FOR THE UNEMPLOYABLE.
UNIONS & DEMOCRACY SLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATION IN ORDER TO
MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE EMPLOYMENT TRAINING FOR ADAPTION TO AUTOMATION
FOR EVERYONE. BUT EVENTUALLY REMOTE CONTROLLED ROBOTICS MAY
DEVELOP WITHOUT THIS SLOWING IN SPACE AND AT SEA.
-SPACE-LAWLESS, TAXLESS, RENT & MORGAGE LESS, WIDE ACCESS
POSSIBILITIES, MICRO GRAVITY & SOLAR WATTS, CORROSION & BUG LESS.
-ROBOTS-ABLE TO WORK WHERE MAN HAS DIFICULTY DOING WORK AND STILL
EVOLVING WITH THE DISCOVERIES OF PHYSICS.
-CABLED MONEY-REPLACING CASH WITH CREDIT CARD SORT AND GOING
THROUGH ALL ON ONE METROPOLITAN RING CABLES THAT ARE EASY TO CUT.
THE OWNERS OF THESE NEW ROBOTS IN SATELLITES AND AUTOMATED ISLAND
SHIPS, MAY EVENTUALLY CUT THE CABLES OF OUR CABLED MONEY TO STOP
OUR DEMOCRACY OR OUR UNEMPLOYED INTERFERING WITH THEIR ACCESS TO
(But they allways have worst competitors who are more dictator like
so you will have to choose who of the owners your work in total helps.)
EARTH RESOURCES. TROUBLE MAKERS MAY BECOME SLAVES IN THE LANDFILLS
GATHERING SHINY METAL WITH ROBOT SLAVE DRIVERS. ALL BIT LIKE THE
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN OF 1995 THAT WAS LIKE A BANK
REPOSSESSING BECAUSE OF GOVERNMENT DEFAULT ON REPAYMENT OF NAT' DEBT.
HOW CAN WE BE SAFE?
-BE AWARE OF INCIDENTS OF AT SEA/SPACE AND DISCUSS THIS WITH
OTHERS. (WHILE AVERAGE PAY GROWS & ROBOTS SMARTER/CHEAPER ON GOES)
-DEVELOP OUR CAREERS FOR CARE AND ASSESMENT JOBS THAT WILL ALWAYS
BE NEEDED TO GUIDE MACHINES TO HUMAN INTEREST.
-LEARN TO FEED OFF OF NATURE EFFICENTLY IN AN EMERGENCY EVEN ON
THE MOVE TO AVOID CAPTURE. LEARNING TO EAT WEEDS/TREES AND ECOLOGY
IS PROBABLY THE MAJORITYS BEST BACKUP AS DOUBT OF THE FUTURE GROWS
WITH ROBOTOTICS. THERE IS STILL MUCH ROOM YET TO USE CALORIES EVEN
MORE EFFICENTLY FOR SURVIVAL EMERGANCY METHOD RESEARCH.
-AVOID CRIME AS IT LEADS TOO VIOLENT CRIMINALS AND AUTHORITIES.
VICTORS & LOSERS OF THE FUTURE MAYBE ARE SENDING WARNINGS INTO OUR
DREAMS, SO THAT YOU MIGHT DECIPHER A MESSAGE TOO.
