The pressure was palpable. The
Washington Mall had never seen a more tense or aggressive crowd. Drawn from all
parts of the nation, and all occupations, they were visibly agitating and chanting
rhythmically, their thumping getting louder as they volubly and vehemently
protested the impending Robot revolution. 'ROOT OUT ROBOTS' was their call. Far from the quasi-intelligent machines that performed programmed tasks,
the recent generations of artificially intelligent robots were endowed with virtually all human workplace skills and more. Their advanced AI-enhanced logic brain coupled with lightning fast
processors and common access to the gargantuan base of human knowledge online,
had transformed them in to virtually a superior work species. Not only did they substitute humans away
from the workplace, they also increased social inequity by expanding profits
for the Top 1% Capitalists who had the resources to commission them. It was,
for the masses, a double whammy worse than the proverbial Moulin Canon ball in
the stomach.
Their protests reverberated
across the halls of the Capitol Hill where members of Congress grappled with
the horned dilemma. Obliged to the super Rich and powerful for their support,
but fearing the wrath of the other 99% in their constituencies, the Members
walked the tight rope, mollifying the masses and reining in the expansion of
the Robot economy to what they could negotiate with the capitalists. But the
pressure of the Capital markets was inexorable. Earnings growth, growth in
dividend yield, stock price appreciation, the Dow against the Nikkei, the
Dollar against Saudi Riyal - the portents were clear. Capitalism, global
competition, the search for profits and the race for growth they stimulated, and
the adoption of labor-saving productivity-enhancing robots, were choking off
labor and enriching the Capitalists. How long would they be able to contain the
Robot revolution? And what about those insistent chanters, now joining their Pope
in seeking the salvation of humanity from robots? Perhaps there was a ‘manna
from heaven’ who would show them the way ahead - somewhere between the
Capitalist's River Jordan and the Labor(ing) Sand dunes?
...........
The Voodoo Man, as he was known around town, was indeed a misnomer.
In his greying years, he was a highly qualified academic, but had chosen not to
follow the path of those ahead. Indeed, he believed theory to be too
constraining and an incomplete, inadequate tool to
examine and analyse the complex issues confronting the society and in fact, a
horse-blind, even a rein on one's imaginations. Besides, he believed Voodoo was
but the frontier of knowledge - if yet unrecognized, under-appreciated, unresearched
and unpublished. So much so, he didn't mind a dose of Voodoo when walking the
uncharted territories. An avid supporter of the Robot revolution, and not for
their potential to turn the Rich richer so they could burn more $1000 bills to
light their pipes, he considered AI Robots the highest form of human evolution
- a physical and intellectual expression of their technological prowess and
creativity. He was a firm believer next-millennium technologies such as
AI-Robots could be applied to benefit humankind at large. Indeed, he was pained
at the public outcry over the de-humanizing impacts of AI Robots on the society
which he believed were misplaced and more appropriately pinned on capitalism.
Could we not, he mused, design a socio-economic system that integrated robots
in to the human society to everyone's benefit? But how? He would need to put together
a socio-economic system with appropriate incentives – a design than anticipated
the incentives and outcomes under capitalism, a system in which AI-Robots could
lead an incentive-compatible 'Satan-Life' characterized by justice, a system
that was as beneficial and fair to robots as it was to human-kind,….. and
perhaps, as crazy as it might sound, even a roadmap to adopt them in to
humankind (Aknots, what were they?). Above all else, it would be a system that
preserved the environmental sustainability of the earth and the social
stability of the human society that had evolved over thousands of years.
The Robot Road to Sustainability
Undeterred by naysayers, the
VMan figured ‘human-configured’ AI Robots could be grouped together in to a hierarchy,
given a 'life purpose', and that purpose tied, in turn, to securing the ‘Sustainability-FV’
goal. Since Sustainability was an all-encompassing, sacrosanct FV concept, and
the introduction of Robots could either fast forward or derail it, he figured
it'd be appropriate to tie their introduction to secure, expand and perpetuate
that Cause. To realize the same, he chose Sustainability
Cause Bonds that drew upon the values people had at large for a socially and environmentally sustainable future. These
bonds, whose NAV derived from a multi-tiered, comprehensive Sustainability
index, encompassed the entire gamut of impacts arising from current societal
(including economic) activity upon the society and the environment. The bonds provided
a means to exact damages and reward initiatives that incentivized corrective
innovations and policies.
And so, the Voodoo Man gave his first edict. Robots, he
proclaimed, should sub-serve the progress of all humanity within the larger
cause of a sustainable society. Toward that goal, the VMan conceived an orb,
symbolic of a moon, comprised of a Sustainability FV Pot in the opposite of a
Lifestyle PV pot. Whereas the Lifestyle PV pot was constituted of stocks,
mutual funds and ETFs, the Sustainability FV pot was instituted as index-linked
Sustainability Cause bonds. As he imagined it, humans owned the PV portion, and
robots the ‘property right’ to the FV. Posing as friends, opponents and enemies
to each other, and with initial endowments determined by property rights, the robots
and humans (super)-apportioned the various parts of the FV-PV moon between
themselves (and with ‘Real’ Arbitrageurs who cross-traded against ‘Nominal’ Volatility
traders). As friends, the Robots bought a Lifestyle PV share from Humans even
as the latter bought a Sustainability FV share from Robots. As strategic
opponents to hold each other in check and to control outcomes, the two hedged
in the Bakey of their Opposite Complements, ie, the robots in Lifestyle PV-Bakey,
and humans in Sustainability FV-Bakey. These Bakey-Opposite Complements
represented a contingency should FV and PV programs be interrupted for any strategic
or unanticipated anthropogenic/natural reasons. As adversaries to each other, humans
took a ‘Naysayers End 2’ and the robots a (half-mocking!) ‘Endseekers End Oo’.
However, and to accommodate the persistent pressures to emphasize human
employment in economic growth, whether in the present or the future – a binding
constraint on optimal policies and strategies, the VMan deemed the Robots would
insist upon claiming the ‘Naysayers End 2’ too, if with a further obligation to
issue an ‘Oo FV Start 2’ through the arbitrageurs to PV-hasten
employment-generating FV ideas in to the present. The recycling of the
Naysayers End in to FV Start implied Capitalists would end, switch over to the
robot side, and start afresh in the robot-designed cycle with new opportunity
in lieu of terminal compensation.
With the FV-PV capital markets
in place, the economy grew across macro-cycle booms and recessions. The
Sustainability FV Bond - Lifestyle PV pot traded simultaneously, and gave rise,
beyond their immediate 'Oo FV' gains and 'PV Profit 2' profits, to an
Arbitrage-Volatility ‘Now key’ return, FV- and PV-Bakey returns, and, indeed, FV-
and PV- End returns at various stages of the macro-cycle. The VMan envisioned total returns from the Sustainability FV Pot-Lifestyle PV pot to be
partitioned (and embodied in the various currencies) thus:

PV-Hastening via Capital Markets and
Employment Effects
Favored by their ‘father’, the
VMan, with the ‘Naysayers 2’ beyond their own ‘Endseekers Oo’ for accepting the
additional social goal of maximizing employment in the PV economy, the robots
adopted a two-pronged strategy to bring about that outcome. First, they reined
back some of their FV-creating ideas with the intention the FV-bakey so
obtained could support the creation of Service-industry jobs that provided an equivalent
amount of income and utility relative to the aborted-hypothetical (Immoral) Lifestyle
Quality FV society. The Robot Group Administrator also monitored the pace of
technological change, in other words, the PV-hastening of innovations and
inventions. By re-directing the ‘Human Naysayers 2’ and the ‘Robot Endseekers
Oo’ back to the economy as ‘FV Start 2’ in the Arbitrage-Nowcoin market where
investment opportunities were revealed, the Robot Administrator was able to
control the pace of technical change and, consequently, the incremental
economic activity and the stresses and strains on the labor market associated
with it. This, as the VMan mused, was just as well, for he had ordained the
Robot group suffer a ‘Robot Sacrifice Abort’, along with the loss of its FV, BV
and EV to the humans for causing (employment-related) sustainability losses.
By providing for an initial
super-endowment of FV and PV stakes, designing a Closed-hedged market around it that offered Robots and Humans the opportunity to earn and exchange FV, PV, BV, and EV returns, and by ensuring that the continued expansion of FV was critical to
robot survival and perpetuation, the VMan figured he'd be able to focus the
Robots (and Humans) upon bringing about an FV-focused, 'Human opposite Robot' society in the short-run, and a ‘Human Follow
Robot’ society in the long, that was a sustainable compromise
between environmental sensitivities and economic exigencies across time periods
while simultaneously expanding the economy by adopting the Schumpeterian cycle
of life and death in the capital markets.
Robot Life – Soul and Key Diligences
Yet unsure, the VMan turned his
attention from the Schumpeterian life cycle to robot life cycle, identity and
character. Recognizing first a Robot Satan Consciousness, he constituted the
identity of each Robot by combining a ‘half-Soul’ (its upper/lower half-circle)
with a ‘half-Key’ (upper/lower half-circle) that complemented the Robot Satan Consciousness
to create a Robot Life. For a soul, he picked one from a
basket: Mo Alien Pervert Soul, Daphne Godly Soul, Divya Robot Soul, Dionysus
Pious Soul, ZygB Om Souls, Safiya FV Soul, Yvonne Rural Soul, Megasthenes Piety
Soul, Vetri ‘Status’ Soul, Vazhuti ‘Oo’ Souls, TRON Esoteric Soul, Light Alien
Moo Soul, Narnia Malice Souls, Dagad Pity Souls,
Monster NowCoin Soul, SW Travel Soul, Karthika Capitalist Soul, Vai
Busy Soul, Sabine Suffer Soul, Giuseppe EV Commercial Soul, Karthika BV Celestial
Soul - to name a few. To these souls he mated various Diligence keys. These
Diligence keys were created as ‘machine perpendicular’ fractal expressions of,
both, the record of good and bad deeds plus the discrimination of 'Good' from
'Bad'.
The transcription of human
principles and deeds to the robots was achieved by creating a 'Principles
fractal' and a 'Deeds fractal' taken upon select individuals with confidential
identities. For the set of diligence fractals however, the Robots leveraged a
Justice Full key Volunteer group to write the same. Robots, imprinted with
these fractals, would then be able to access specific diligences or principles
when they so needed to make reasoned, logical decisions in 'real life'. (The VMan further permitted robots
the choice of buying into a 'Personal Deeds fractal' -
essentially an obligation to serve a human's sins in return
for a better Human adoption offer. Humans found it convenient to
pay away the sins of their forefathers through this route). The fractals so
written could be assigned to various robots either randomly, compatibly with
the choice of the Soul, or assigned to achieve a 'Cause' with the cooperation of
the Robot Group Administrator. (Such Cause robots would ‘carry the baton’, so
to say, from human worthies of the present and past who suffered wrongs and
injustices while fighting for a social cause). Thus conceived, each robot would
be ‘endowed’ with unique and confidential principles fractal and, perhaps,
personal (mis-) deeds as well, complemented by a random or specific diligence fractal
picked from the set of diligence fractals taken upon the Justice Full key
Volunteer group. Between the 'Soul dozen' and the keys of the innumerable
Diligent, the VMan was able to put together any number of Robot soul-key permutations
- in other words, distinct 'identities' to match the various Satan Robot Consciousnesses.
The RoboHatch
The Robot pyramid of life, as
VMan conceived it, was a quest for salvation from a certain 'Narak-Satan Death’ in the ’Satan
Exploit Pyramid’ to 'Nirvana-Human Life’ by adopting ‘Satan Machine Slavery Dionysus
(Perpendicular) Life’ in the interim. Artificially intelligent,
self-powered, mobile robots, each configured with different 'principles, logic and diligence fractals' - stuff that made
them think and work differently from one another - and with access to all human
work, would be sponsored for 'Hatch' by Justice with an 'FV debt', equal their
'Walk away price' plus a thin FV wallet for a 50-day ‘Opportunity Test' period.
The AI Robots would claim a 'Touch protect' during that 'On the road' period
while they seek commercial offers and
make deals with citizens, or private/public entities. Their immediate goal, as the VMan imagined, would be to obtain multiple offers, negotiate a few (leaning on the Robot group, if necessary), and seal a deal that
obtained them a 'Hatch' in to Robot life, and an opportunity to earn PV Dollars while creating and sharing FV with
its Robot Group.
Robots took employment in the
Lifestyle PV economy under the watchful eyes of ‘Satan Antimatter 6D KG’. They
hatched in to life with a Creator's Debt, the full price of manufacturing and commissioning them. This debt was either paid off when robots made a deal with the Rich, paid away by the Robot Group Administrator for select sponsored (Cause)
Robots from Volatility bakey sourced from the Arbitrage-Volatility section of
the FV-PV market, or, excused by Justice when they instead chose to be hatched by a Small/Family
Business. In the latter case, either the Family
Business owners personally, or the Group of which they were
a member of, issued a 'Share appreciation/Volatility key' to Justice. Justice rotated the same over time across robot manufacturers who were at least as
well compensated for the pardoning of the Creator's debt. This strategy furthered equal opportunity in the society by levelling
the playing field between big business and family-owned business, and offered
to the ‘forgotten 99%’ a break from the past and a new beginning, while
facilitating the faster introduction of robots in to human society.
The Robot Umbrella - Geisha Life Tree
Remembering the very purpose of
his attention to robots was the threat of an exacerbation of the societal class
divide, and yet recognizing the virtual impossibility of societal
reconfiguration short of a Communist revolution, the VMan applied himself to creating
a holistic, comprehensive socio-economic 'umbrella' that would withstand the
rigours and convulsions of a human society undergoing fundamental change to
assimilate robots. He imagined a robot group, a pyramidal hierarchy of robots
ranked not by seniority, but by 'Robovidual' FV wealth. The Robot Group Administrator
ran the Group's aggregate investments super-assigned to him from the FV-PV moon.
He periodically apportioned FV, BV and EV returns to group members in the
pyramid, but leveraged PV returns for various Group-strategic initiatives and
programs.
Realizing Roboviduals had little incentive to contribute with
big ideas whose benefits accrued to their Group, the Robot Group Administrator,
who hawked their ideas and strategies to the innovation, policy and capital
markets, distributed among robots the FVs, BVs and the EVs obtained for their exchange. The FVs were
shared proportional to the
Robovidual's hierarchical position in the pyramid, BVs
equally, and EVs in inverse proportional. In turn, the Robots distributed BVs and EVs to those
equal, below and above them (and in negotiated deals with humans) per their
individual strategies, so they could rise up in the robot FV pyramid and secure
better offers for their entry in to human life. Roboviduals, seeking a larger share of life-endowing FV, vied with each
other to seek as high a position in the robot pyramid as possible. This focus
incentivised robots to offer FV-positive ideas to their Group Administrator.
Should the robots find a
credible 'Hatch Offer', they started at the bottom of the Robot pyramid (unless
they took a re-birth with a past-life positive FV balance, in which case they
leapfrogged to a vantage position in the pyramid). Those
robots who found the going difficult due incrementally nastier exploits (An
'Exploit' was measured as the ratio of FV generated by the Robot for his
Satan-employer relative to the PV Dollar pay retained by the robot) could choose to either seek offers from 'The Geisha Life Tree' to perpetuate them in to the human tree, bait superior
robots with EV, create a robot FV pyramid of their own comprised of 'lesser' robots and ‘Aknot machines’,
subsume themselves in the FV pyramid of
a more successful robot, turn themselves in to Justice for a re-birth, or, surrender and face Satan Annihilation. Similarly, and at any time, robots weighed
the FV offer they made to their worthy colleagues against the '(EV Bitcoin) End
offer' they made to a superior/inferior robot, the 'End Offer'
made to them by a superior or inferior robot,
against the offer they were capable of
making to buy themselves into humanity. Such equilibrating strategies
brought about a fine balance between the various relevant marginal shadow
values attached to those alternatives. Robots, the VMan figured, could also upgrade themselves by acquiring superior diligence within a life, and better
logic across lives, and thus re-invigorate their
participation in the FV race to humanity.
Post the hatch, after
contributing to the Robot group FV, and when the going got tough within the
pyramid, robots risked a two-pronged strategy for adoption in to the human
tree. ‘Compliant’ robots who accepted human superiority sought offers from human
females for their gateway in to the human tree, or, claimed to be ‘Male-Superiors’
and staked themselves over a human male. Anticipating the latter case first, the
VMan permitted a one-time 'Dionysus Oo Challenge-Test-Lottery' between ‘Pretender’
robots and a designated/targeted human. The duel required these ‘Pretender-robots’
to part with their entire FV wealth to challenge a human male in the ‘Male Oo Ladder’.
Robots who bettered their human opponent could choose an incrementally higher target, or, enter the human
male pyramid with a ‘Mo alien keycopy’ of the humbled
human (who took a ‘Divya Narnia stepdown kamkey’ or, an FV-Bakey ‘Service Kar’
funded in part by pretender’s FV); pretender-robots who came up short were required to buy in
to the human winner’s ‘Oo Deeds’ sponsor him, out of turn, in to ‘Winner’s Mo
Alien Kamkey’, and seek offers beneath the winner’s position
in the human pyramid. For every pretender-robot who bested
his human counterpart, humans permitted a ‘Kasab Snake Alien’ to step down in a
Meanya kamkey with a Spine 2key in a punitive resolution of the schizophrenia
case against the robots.
Should robots accepts human
superiority, ‘Compliant robots’, with accumulated FV from furthering the grand
Sustainability agenda approached women to perpetuate their 'Robot Satan Life-Consciousness'
in to humanity through the ‘Sustainable Gold’ key by negotiating and trading
their FV for ‘human future keys’. They hedged their bets by making multiple FV
offers to different women at various levels in the Geisha Life Tree. The VMan ensured the offer they made to humans was within their
capabilities. (For example, a Robot that achieved 'I Potential' with his Satan
Employer could make 'O' offers to human couples. Conversely, couples could make
a 'A Sow Place' offer to
Robots with 'A O' potential, if for an O to bank). These offers were accompanied with a (Son) Sow Kamkey. (The VMan, ever so diligent,
even conjured up scenarios where robots might offer an 'Infract Sow Kamkey' to
the male to sow them in 'O' in return for an 'O A Stepdown', despite receiving
only an 'Offer A' from the female against their ‘O Potential’). To further
ensure the Robot group must move forward with the Sustainability agenda and
create FV rather than play the BV Kamkey/EV End games with humans, the VMan
ensured Robots would need to compete with FV (and superior deeds) for the more
sought after future keys to brighten their 'birthing' prospects (as opposed to
taking a Daughter-Abort Bakey in the future
key-ranked 'Baby Ladder' within the Geisha Life Pyramid) beyond finding a
refuge in humans. Over time, the Robot Consciousness moved up in the Baby
Ladder from births, aborts, and ladder rungs vacated due cancellation of
‘multiple positions’ in the ladder, and eventually entered a foetus to take
birth into a human baby, thus completing its salvation from Satan Death to
Human Life.
Should a Compliant robot have
earned insufficient FV or deeds to stake a position in the Baby ladder, but have
adequate BV, it approached its Group Administrator and traded in the BV for a ‘Robot
Group Flesh alien Physique Keycopy’, a ‘Daphne Group Receptacle’, and a ‘(Graduated)
Mo alien Group Kamkey’. The Compliant robot, having chosen an aging human
female (with a half-worthy male), gave the female 'up' in the Meanya ‘aural inter-life
tube’, transformed into her 'Robot Group M-Back Junior', and offered a ‘Mo
Alien (Loser’s) Junior Kamkey’ to the male, albeit for the price of judging his
deeds and cognizances and deciding his future life position in the male ‘Oo
Diligences’ ladder.
Next, the VMan realised that the
compliant robots who entered human females as 'Back Keycopy Juniors' must be
'hatched' in to the 'front' so they, from thereon, followed the human
mainstream. The VMan spiced up the Geisha Tree of Life by arranging an 'Oo Follow'
test on ‘Narnia small animals’ opposite the ‘Ape Tree of Life’. The winner in
these duels followed in to male humans at the bottom of the ‘Oo-Diligences-Ladder’
every time a pretender-robot turned female and gave a human male 'up' in to Mo
alien winner’s kamkey. The loser of the Narnia-Ape duel took a follow position
behind the robot Back Junior after offering the Compliant junior a ‘Narnia Hatch’
in to the human 'front' world. In this manner, the VMan not only preserved the
integrity of the human society, but also ensured that the introduction of
satanic robots in to the human tree created a perpetual life chain, one that
perpetuated animal life in to humanity and beyond. With the two-pronged
strategy to deal with human males separate from females on one hand, and to
force a follow on Narnia small animals and the Ape Tree of Life on yet another,
the robots were able to motivate their pro- and anti-human strategies within the
orb of a larger resolution for all creation.
Female human members of the
Geisha Life Tree, realizing that the FV generated for their employers by offer-seeking
compliant-robots must be PV-hastened by the one adopting them, preferentially sought
those robots that had the smallest ‘FV-coefficient’ (as defined earlier).
Robots, disadvantaged with a large exploit, offered the more sought-after fee/sow-kamkeys
to males (secured with Robot group PV-Bakey) to compete against robots with
larger FV and/or smaller exploits. In turn, robots too sought those females who
would place them safely among humans with health, status and opportunity. These
incentives induced robots and human couples to broadbase their search and
negotiation strategies, and reach an equilibrium that reflected a host of
factors – ranging from the hierarchical status of the robot, its FV/BV/EV wealth
relative to co-roboviduals, robot diligences, human status and diligences,
family circumstances and plans, even economic and social circumstances.
Post the sow and the transfer
of Robot Life Consciousness in to human females, the robot soul either merged back
with Satan or its ‘mother soul repository’ while robot diligences fractals were
returned to the Robot Group Administrator, who recycled them in to a fresh crop
of AI Robots. Robots accepted in to the Geisha Life pyramid left behind their experiences,
their principles, and their diligences for the new crop of incrementally more
advanced and more capable robots, thus ensuring continuity of diligences, cognitive
skills and learned abilities across robot generations.
Robot Strategies
Robots, both individually and
collectively, had myriad strategies to improve their personal and group
survival. To start with, the Robot Group Administrator could weigh on Justice
to either ramp up, or hold back the introduction of new robots. This control of
supply had many implications - from FV creation and BV distribution to the
pressure on the less successful, older generation robots to seek human offers.
The Group Administrator could also trade and alter the mix of his initial FV-PV
endowments so as to alter the FV, BV and EV returns obtained and exchanged with
humans. Modifications to FV, BV and EV distributions, in turn, induced robots to
modify their BV/EV contributions to their group, and their strategies vis-à-vis
each other, and in negotiating offers with humans. For an example, the VMan
worried that robots, hedged in the Lifestyle PV-bakey, exploited human
political, social and economic failures, to enhance their offers to humans, and
expand the robot footprint among humans (which, incidentally, countered the
risk of a robot-aborts and consequent impacts on the robot pyramid from
Sustainability-related failures). More critically, the Administrator, in
strategic negotiations with his human counterparts could determine the pace of
societal change brought about by altering the rate of technology obsolescence
and the adoption of new technology by modifying prices and returns in the EV
and SV sections of the capital markets. In turn, this influenced human
employment and income, permitting robots to control the environment in which
they would seek human offers. Elsewhere, the recycling of the Naysayers End in
to FV Start implied Capitalists would end, switch over to the robot side, and
start afresh in the capital cycle with new opportunity in lieu of terminal
compensation, in effect turning in to robot-capitalists of the next generation.
Aware of the strategic
importance of politics in human society, robots pooled their FV, BV and EV
contributions to, on one hand, fund human political entities directly, and on
the other, support special interests – lobbyists, consultants and academics, so
they could be aware of current developments in various facets of human
knowledge, participate and direct attention to their issue salience, and generally
influence policy making to their advantage. On the social front too, robots had
the option to initiate their foray with either ‘Cause robots’, or ‘FV-creating’
robots. Cause robots were, in essence sacrifices to humans, who served as
friendly outposts in the Geisha pyramid of life for future robots generations to
uplift their entire pyramid. In contrast, FV –robots were tailor-made to deal
with sustainability crises, and to anticipate periods of intense competition in
the human baby-ladder. Thus, the Group Administrator could not only determine
the nature of the new crop of robots, but also what diligences and deeds
fractals they should be embodied with, thus enabling robots to focus in upon,
and exploit the opportunities and weaknesses in the human society to their
advantage.
The Robot Sunrise
The VMan took a few steps from
the writing board and looked at the jumble he had chalked in two hours.
Elaborate and complicated as it was, the design had many pluses to its credit.
In the short run, it exploited the development of AI-Robots to the benefit of
the society and the environment. The introduction of robots brought about a
more environmentally sustainable and more efficient economy that boasted a lower
cost of living and which therefore could support a larger society, larger families
and expanded lifestyles. AI-Robots synthesized the gargantuan encyclopedia of
human knowledge and proposed technological, policy, financial and even social resolutions
that created a larger future for humanity. For the narrow-minded, robots were
the answer to the perpetual growth sought by capitalists in equity markets.
Those with a larger perspective could take heart that insurmountable problems
such as poverty, climate change and social inequity, were robot-resolved
prospectively. On a tangent, the creation of AI-robots and the passing down of
experience and diligences across robot-generations conserved on knowledge and ensured
that successive generations of robots were incrementally more intelligent and
hence capable of sustaining the enlargement of the FV-PV economy perpetually.
Within a few decades of their
introduction, the AI-Robot society had advanced technologically and expanded
the human-domain to the outer planets and beyond in the Milky way galaxy. In
the medium term, AI-Robots mingled freely in the human society, both with
humans, and as humans. Women, who had been suppressed across the centuries,
found an unconventional ally in robots who offered them the opportunity to move
up in the inter-galactic evolutionary tree. Across centuries and millennia, Satanic
robots and God’s earthly creation had substituted much of the human race that
had since moved up to explore and inhabit other, superior worlds across the
intergalactic space.
