[Czech Reply-To: john@nine7.demon.co.uk X-NNTP-Posting-Host: nine7.demon.co.uk X-Newsreader: Demon Internet Simple News v1.30 X-Mail2News-Path: nine7.demon.co.uk 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. Over the years ahead you will decide what sort of people to suport with the total of your lifes work. They could be terrists trying to keep other mad types at bay in the gutter. They could be democracy against terrerists and other life abuses and abusers. They could be some off shore enterprise looking for security from both debt ridden demcracy or terrerists who could take up off shore power too. This ethical offshore group would also aim to take the benifits of planet life to its safist future as gene and age problems grow medicaly as its investers would be most likly be its first benifactors medicaly. Eventually the earth must be taken from the classes of consistant violance as it seems inprobable that they could handle the ever growing power of tech' power responcibly. When will it happen and how depends on how it is resisted by those who could resist the posibibility. Already power lines are being incorparated with trunk communication lines that also carry the bulk of currancy. Already robots evolve in all types of environment with surprising frightening possible uses. With all the other dangerous technologys like nuclear warheads its surprising that we have never built shelters as strong as the pyramids. Maybe it has happened before and recycaling robots ate the evidance to protect the earth 12 thousand years ago after a big global warmup. Am collecting coments on this so you are welcome to reply. Relevant 1984 productions and more on 12.5 thousand year pyramids is also being searched for. -- john (Everybody wants to be certifiably nice on this tide of awesome tech' power.)c?
