While
there’s still time.
Robotics will make the
situation far worse. The smart people so happily working on replacement of
humans in the work force are in fact stupid. They are destroying the social
system. Tariffs cannot protect jobs lost to robots. Moreover, robots don’t buy
houses, furniture, cars, clothes, entertainment, food, drink, smart phones,
computers. All the money saved by replacing people with robots is not available
to purchase the products made by robots. Consumer demand collapses. The only
solution is the socialization of production that makes all members of society
owners of the output. Even this is only a partial solution as it leaves
unanswered the question of what people do with their time and what happens to
people who do not have to work and to develop their capabilities.

Concerning the
problem of time. The great German philosopher Edmund Husserl has said that we
need to understand the time as music. In music we hear previous note,
present note and we anticipate the next one. Without that, if we hear only one
note - that is noise, not music. Music is when we keep in mind the note that
sounded previously and we anticipate the note that will follow. So, the history
and the future is not the new note completely, that is the continuation of the
melody we`re playing now.
That is very
important point of Mr. Sloterdijk’s remark on urbanization – the melody doesn’t
begin now – we`re playing it for an certain amount of historical time. That is
huge inevitable tendency – we can`t stop this melody, but at the same time, if
want to change something we`re obliged to put the end to it. So, that is kind
of destiny in this transformation of society from the agrarian, rural
conditions of life toward urbanistic.
Considering
philosophical meaning of this historical process we see that with every step
the human being is more and more independent from the nature. So, it
creates more and more artificial ambiance, it is more and more virtual world,
because the city comparing the village is virtual - there is no such dependence
on spring or winter, we always have light. And that is the preparation to the
robots, full-scale virtual beings – we are already half-robots. Urban
culture, technical culture is already here – we are more and more independent
from nature, huge part of population (not only in Europe) is urban.
The process of
urbanization can not be stopped. We are becoming robots, our society is more
and more robotized. In order to make this shift from human to robots we need to
embed some robot aspects in our life. In philosophy there is Quentin
Meillassoux, object-oriented ontology that criticizes any kind of dualism.
Meillassoux tries to save philosophy from the subject – from human. So, I think
Meillassoux is kind of silicon brain, because in the same manner the robot
could make philosophy, or non-philosophy (François Laruelle), or the ontology
based only on the object.
We are preparing to
the future, we`re playing this game with urbanization, and it`s time to
remember what Heidegger said about the technic as metaphysical process. We are
involved in technical process, and if we’ll be replaced by the next stage of
this technological world, it will be bring with itself a kind of continuity,
not something completely new. Because we`re playing this melody already for a
certain time. We are preparing step by step to great replacement: we are ready
to replace ourselves and to be replaced.
The replacement will
not be something completely new and horrible, because something horrible is
already here, around us. Not only in the West, in Russia or in Asia – in all
the humanity something horrible is happening right now, and going on.
I think, we`re
approaching some Singularity moment – that is a moment when the neuro- network
will be allowed to take responsibility in complicated situation. This killing
of human by robotic Tesla car without a driver is anticipation of what`s going
on. We will awaken some day to the fact that we are already replaced.
We are playing the
same melody, if we`re not happy, we can`t say `stop` here, it`s impossible. We
should go this route to the beginning – to the first note of this symphony. We
should ask now: who is the author and began this process of urbanization, who
has created trains, liberalism, democracy, progress, missile, computer, nuclear
synthesis. Who is the real author? And that is essential: because it was
human decision, that wasn`t kind of `natural process`. In one moment of
the history we`ve decided to go that way, and now we can just slow it down or
accelerate. But why we don`t ask ourselves: are we going the right direction
from the beginning? Was this decision right one?
We should go back to
this moment, to the beginning of this melody – that is my idea. It could be too
late, to wake up with robots around, perfect tax-payers, making democratic
decisions, sending each other SMS messages from robot to robot...
The conversation
between robots is already possible, in neuro-network the special language is
possible, during the conversation two computer have recently created the
language without knowledge of the operator. So, they will replace us easily.
