  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hmmm... Let me think about this one. Today humans live longer than ever before. Our population is bigger than ever before. People are healthier than ever before. People are more comfortable than ever before. So here is what I have to say to the scientific geniuses: keep doing what you are doing!

Ban Killer Robots Before They Take Over,
Says scientific geniuses Stephen Hawking & Elon Musk


http://www.livescience.com/51664-stephen-hawking-elon-musk-ai-weapons.html


Some of the biggest names in science and technology have called for a global ban on “killer robots”, amid warnings that crossing that threshold would start a new global arms race.

The intervention by more than 1,000 experts in the field of artificial intelligence came in an open letter, which was also signed by Professor Stephen Hawking, the cosmologist, Elon Musk, Tesla’s chief executive, and Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple.

You have to factor in the ecological collapse scenario though. Too much growth at too fast of a rate, and eventually there won't be enough food to feed everyone, leading to mass starvation. A plague on crops or a climatic disaster like a large volcanic eruption could trigger this suddenly.

Yes. We have already got one method of wiping ourselves out, and more are on the way. I would be surprised if we have got more than two or three centuries left. Perhaps less, depending upon the extent of our insanity.
