I was thinking {A rare occurance at the moment as my brain now has deteriorated to the rough apperence and texture of mushy peas} If all people are basicly corrupt and selfish, then wouldn't it be a whole lot easyer to make robots run the government? There would then be no possibility of corruption or personal motives in things like foreign policy. If robots really did run everything then what sort of desisions do you think they would come up with? Would it have a left or right wing political philosophy? How would it solve the energy crisis caused by limited fossil fuel recorces?

Since a robots need some sort of energy not for cars and such but for their very existance I think that things will be worse... they will want total control of the "Life Force". They will create more robots to fight for it... they will enslave us to work and fight for them!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! It will be robotic warlords fighting to have total control of the worlds energy supply!!!!

Go watch the Matrix. Then Terminator. Then I Robot. My side of the argument is done. Excuse me while I smash the escaping microwave.

It would sortonly be an improvement over the massive clogged channels of buaracracy we have now. Of course we wouldn't need them in all those high government posistion either, we could just eliminate those.

If you program them to auto kill attorneys, I am for it. As long as they don't get to do all of it.

Fuck robots. Get zombies to run the government. Zombies kick ass, and they don't take shit from anybody. Somebody's out of line, there's no Congressional hearing or any of that shit. They just bite a big chunk out of his neck. That'll teach 'em. Zombie for President!

I'd vote for that!

Zombies don't want pay

Zombies don't take bribes

Zombies don't take crap

Zombies don't do whatever well-paid lobbyists tell them to

Zombies will also be happy to fight on the front lines in the next war.

Vote Zombie!

You actually have a great question and don't know it. What you have said is something called Cybernetics. 3 future societies: Endinumania (i didnt spell it right) Cybernetics, and Totalitarian.

Endinumania, all labor jobs have been shifter to other lower class nations. The nation's population is now free to think outside the box. They have a service based economey. Endinumania means happy life. The Problem with it is it is rought getting there, and when you have india putting all our stuff togethere they will have power over us.

Cybernetics, machines run most jobs. This allows people to embrace art and science. You will see huge boosts in science in art..... but you will have a very high welfar class. No jobs for the untalented... but hopefully money will be less of an issue if machines are making everythign for us.

Totalitarian, the way the United States of America is going. You should all know what that is like. The US will always claim to be a democracy, but as you all know since world war one we have been slowly selling our souls.
