Robot Actress Makes Stage Debut In Japan
Robotron23 writes "The BBC reports that a robot named Geminoid-F has made its acting debut (video) in Japan. The short play in which it appeared was a sellout with the Japanese public, who were curious to see the robot's performance. However an actress who co-starred pointed out that the lack of human presence made the droid difficult to act alongside."
Gimme a break. What are you? A Turing Machine?
The tax payers want THEIR money to be spent collectively on THEM. -Not put into the pockets of military contractors and financial scam-artists, (banks). But refusing to get ripped off is somehow bad? Is somehow extorting the tax payer?
So-called "Conservative" thinkers like to believe they're good and responsible with numbers, yet never seem capable of doing the math on just how badly they're being ripped off. They don't even understand the basics of debt creation through money lending and how the whole thing, in every industrialized nation, is a deliberate con job established from the basement up. And if they do, -and this is the amazing part- they utterly fail to extrapolate what that means in any larger context.
The fact that those dots are difficult for you to connect means that YOU'RE the robot who has been successfully programmed to knee-jerk on any issue which sounds even slightly like Socialism. And for goodness sake! Fear of socialism? Get real! That anybody is still obsessing over single moms getting a 'free ride' is unbelievable. Your lizard buttons are being pushed with great finesse. Do you want crayons with that? The human brain has evolved the wetware to think beyond those simple and limiting paradigms. People are not muskrats and fish, and yet whole political movements encourage them to return to and embrace the laws of the jungle as though the whole bother of evolution was one big mistake. Psychopaths like that kind of thinking because they don't HAVE the wetware necessary for compassion, and they can't survive in a world where it's not all pure competition without any sort of balance. Fuck Psychopaths. They're responsible for the economic melt-down and the gulf disaster and the wars. If you can't see that, then you've either been conned or you're sporting your very own brain deficiencies.
You need to do more than just unplug from your TV. Hell, if you're still watching the Beeb, even in disgust, then you are miles away from your first clue.
Unplug, re-boot, re-think.
