It’s always better to have machines do the work for us. That frees up our time and effort for more fun stuff. I wish for the time when ALL work is done by robots.

“There could be civil war” we live in America, they live in the dream of communism. There are these beautiful ” future” cities in china. Nobody can afford to live in them. Then there are those high speed trains. Nobody can afford to us them. Unrest? Did you say unrest? It’s already begun. They have a lot more desire for the future than we. They are use to stratospheric change. An unsustainable change. World financial issues will continue to spiral down, because robotics is just starting to rise. The polarity between the haves, and the have-nots will continue to charge. If I were Nero now, I’d start playing my fiddle! There is little choice as to a solution. The powerhouse of consumerism is being usurped. The great brains of communism, and the great brains of capitalism, haven’t a clue what to do. In fact they are still obtuse. There will be pockets of resistance, where old values are artificially supported, but the enertia of change is unstoppable. It may be a bitter pill to swallow for the one percent. But the consumer will need to be paid to consume! It’s that or the outlawing of robotics! Think of spin, think of cycles, think of evolution, think of change!

These robots could bring down the government in Taiwan. Hell, they could bring down the government here.

The Chinese government is aware of the risk/problem of social unrest and is addressing the issue. It’s why I suggested Foxconn to place their robotics in Taiwan.

This is a mixed bag. While it is great for the vets who have lost limbs to improvised explosives devices, it also means robots will be able to assemble I-Phones at Foxcomm. With all those workers out in the street with no social safety net, there could be mass unrest in China. If it brings down the government, there could be civil war. Maybe 70 million died during the reign of Mao. How many more would be killed?
