@caekislove@Remi Something got drained. I don't like him, and that thing he did with sam hyde... I bet their insurance rates are going up because of me grumbling.
@caekislove@Remi Speaking as an old fart that was part of the old christian weston chandler PVCC (private villa of corrupted citizens) nonsense as a side pain in the ass, everything in there felt awfully familiar, like they were saying hello to someone.
@xianc78@corruptmm@sallymayweather You think my autism would let me not make a goof of myself? ... DO YOU?! Anyway campaign contributions are at my patreon, DeathToEvil. Minimum donation is enough for a small car in 1965.
174. On the other hand it is possible that human control over the machines may be retained. In that case the average man may have control over certain private machines of his own, such as his car or his personal computer, but control over large systems of machines will be in the hands of a tiny elites just as it is today, but with two differences. Due to improved techniques the elite will have greater control over the masses; and because human work will no longer be necessary the masses will be superfluous, a useless burden on the system. If the elite is ruthless they may simply decide to exterminate the mass of humanity. If they are humane they may use propaganda or other psychological or biological techniques to reduce the birth rate until the mass of humanity becomes extinct, leaving the world to the elite. Or, if the elite consists of soft-hearted liberals, they may decide to play the role of good shepherds to the rest of the human race. They will see to it that everyone's physical needs are satisfied, that all children are raised under psychologically hygienic conditions, that everyone has a wholesome hobby to keep him busy, and that anyone who may become dissatisfied undergoes "treatment" to cure his "problem." Of course, life will be so purposeless that people will have to be biologically or psychologically engineered either to remove their need for the power process or to make them "sublimate" their drive for power into some harmless hobby. These engineered human beings may be happy in such a society, but they most certainly will not be free. They will have been reduced to the status of domestic animals.
