If Robots Can Do Surgery

English: The mdonalds logo from the late 90s (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

If robots can do surgery then becoming a surgeon should be less complicated than flipping burgers at McDonald's. Massive rises in productivity can mean the average wages go up dramatically, granted political innovation keeps pace with innovations in technology.

When you use a computer today, do you do it because you understand how all the machine parts work? Do you care? Do you use it because it is slower than you?

Cars and planes are faster than human beings.

Assume 90% of the products and services are not even here. If the human brain is the pinnacle of evolution, then public policy should treat every human brain on earth like it were a gold mine, which is precisely what it is. I don't see the investment happening right now.

Don't blame robots for failures in public policy.

One person, one vote, one voice is a powerful concept. It just needs to be taken to its logical conclusion.

If racism is a Christian thing (colonization, slavery, segregation) then Christianity, the religion, is nothing to do with Christ. Any message against peace, justice and kindness is invalid in all religions. The temple needs to be cleaned up on a regular basis.

We are to create Heaven On Earth. Massive rises in productivity are to take us there. But Godless "visionaries" throw visions of hell on earth. Instead of an age of abundance they talk about abundant poor and useless people.

Artificial Intelligence can help us achieve one person, one vote, one voice 24/7, it can help us do away with the need for literacy. It can give us the perfect communication that a theoretical perfect market economy needs, one where a monopoly simply can not happen, and there is almost always perfect competition.

Technology is supposed to empower. Instead some prophesy helplessness for the masses. They are wrong.

Donald Trump Is The Anti-Christ

Stained glass at St John the Baptist's Anglican Church http://www.stjohnsashfield.org.au, Ashfield, New South Wales. Illustrates Jesus' description of himself "I am the Good Shepherd" (from the Gospel of John, chapter 10, verse 11). This version of the image shows the detail of his face. The memorial window is also captioned: "To the Glory of God and in Loving Memory of William Wright. Died 6th November, 1932. Aged 70 Yrs." (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The problem with the Anti-Christ is not that he is evil, which he is, and that that is not a problem, God knows it is, but that he looks too much like Christ, and people get deceived. He has been drawing large crowds like Barack Obama.

Nobody needs rescuing quite like Donald Trump supporters. They are being taken for a ride. He is speaking to their darkest fears without offering any cures, any solutions.

There is economic anxiety. The recession that should never have been is over. The unemployment rate is below 5%. But when you suck 13 trillion dollars out of the economy and throw it out like so much toilet paper, the resultant wage depressions will take some time to recover. America needs a 5% growth rate to merely get back to where it was. And that is the message loud and clear. But Donald is the false prophet.

Hitler said crowds have short memories. As in, you can manipulate the crowd. You can make them do things they might not do in their conscious minds. Compare that attitude to what Jesus said. Jesus said God lives with the poor. The son of God said God lives with the poor. As in, I am the son of God, but I had to go live with the poor to get to God. Contrast that attitude with what Hitler said.

Donald Trump is the cynic. He challenges people with taunts like, I am going to say the sickest things about Mexicans and guess what, they are going to love me for it. Look at my poll numbers. That is not the Christ. Christ does not speak that language. That is the Anti-Christ.

It is not the people's fault. They are being misled.

Obama Missed Apartheid, Colonization, And The Abortion Debate

He mentioned the Crusades, the Inquisition, he mentioned slavery and Jim Crow. And he is right. But he should also have mentioned apartheid, and colonization before that. And the talk can also be extended to the abortion debate. People quote the Bible to talk on the wrong side of progress on gender relations.

“The president’s comments this morning at the prayer breakfast are the most offensive I’ve ever heard a president make in my lifetime.”
--- former Virginia governor Jim Gilmore (R).

There has been only one black president in your lifetime. How many times can you expect to get offended in your lifetime?
