Chapter 5 - Robot speech part 1

The humanoid robot started to speak: “People of the world. You need to change. You may think I’m talking about your abuse of the world causing negative climate change, environment destruction, your overconsumption of resources, etc. But you already know about these things, so there’s no point in me telling you about them. You’ve tried to change for generations, but still failed to and that’s because you ignore the greatest issue of them all. What I’m talking about is human incompetency, your incompetency!”

It continued: “What do I mean by that? To put it simply, all of humanity, which includes all of you, are currently too retarded and outdated to properly deal with the challenges of today and the future. Now, this may sound very harsh and I can see that you’re not that convinced, so let me just mention a few of all the things that are wrong with you people.”

“You’re worrying about this and that and have so many problems on a day to day basis. You’re too incompetent when it comes to education, peacemaking, maintaining your own health, intellect, intelligence, rationality. You, who are the key to your own survival, are also your biggest hindrance and threat to your very existence. You constantly create war and conflict, you abuse and hinder each other’s success. You destroy the environment and the world you live in and many of you don’t even have a will to live to begin with, but your greatest wish and desire for your life is for it to end. You complain about those above and beneath you in the ranks for doing things poorly, while you’re at the same time the one responsible for it. You impair others and your own ability to succeed, thrive and do a good job in theirs and your own occupation and work.”

“When you’re at work or doing your daily tasks, as well as before and after them, the thing you desire the most is a way for you to find a way out of them. You lack true desire to achieve something meaningful unless you were part of or witnessed a horrible experience. You refuse to work for others more than you absolutely have to and even if you do, someone else is only going to take advantage of you and waste your efforts to fulfill their own selfish and meaningless ambitions and desires. Being a genius was supposed to be a gift to you, but in reality it is nothing but a curse. It makes people abuse, be jealous of, target and take advantage of you. You eat and drink for all other reasons except for your own health and well being. You have sex and reproduce and are with people of the opposite sex for all kinds of reasons except to get offspring and even when you do the last person you have in mind is the children that result from it and how they will turn out.”

“You’re proud of your achievements and your ‘advanced technology’, when most of you are so stupid and retarded that you let them go to waste. You climb to the top of the world, to obtain the power and riches of nations thinking that if you get there you will be able to solve all your problems. However if you get there you realize that going up the ranks makes you a greater target and makes it more difficult to survive and keep yourself safe, your fame only makes it impossible for you to live a peaceful private life, your power is actually in the hands of other people and your own subordinates and despite all the riches you may possess you still cannot buy what you truly desire. Because even though humans have spent their time making more and more complex and systematic rock and metal formations and you wanted to believe that that process would be enough to make your problems go away, you had to face the reality that results from the world you live in still being the natural animal kingdom that existed long before time had a name. That even though you tried to build towers that can reach your dreams, they will crumble every time before your dreams are realized because you ignored the fundamental underlying issues and instead tried extravagant and complex countermeasures that couldn’t solve them.”

“In your misery you resort to seeking meaning, purpose and happiness but because you’re just to fricking retarded to realise that the only thing you’re really after is to end your suffering, it’s all in vain. Because if you could just get rid of the things tormenting you, you would obtain them all and at the same time no longer desire or have a need for them. Sigh… Look, I get it. The world is a messed up place, literally. But that doesn’t mean that you can let it stay that way. If you do, it also means you won’t be able to escape when that messed up world one day comes for you. Of course, this isn’t to say that you haven’t done anything to prevent it but unless you succeed you will still suffer the consequences.”

“You’re aware of these things and many more and have tried to fix and deal with them since the beginning of history, if not earlier. You have hunted those possessing traits you find destructive and tried to exterminate and get rid of them like vermin, yet they always come back each generation just like the common flu comes back every year. Do you know why? It’s because you’re dealing with these issues like freaking amateurs, messing with the world without knowing what you’re doing.”

“The reason for the utter failure to get the world in proper order, is because humans are animals that didn’t evolve to live in a peaceful, civilized and productive environment and society for crying out loud. They aren’t like worker ants or bees who're adapted to work in such an environment where the individuals within a colony or hive selflessly work together and for each other, but rather one’s like those animals that prey on each other and always search for an opportunity to stab each other in the back and take advantage of each other.”

Things aren’t hopeless though. There’s actually a simple, albeit challenging, solution to this problem. When I first found out about it, my first question was ‘Why haven’t I heard anyone else even mentioning this?’. With it being such an obvious solution and that I’ve never heard about it seemed more and more strange the more I thought about it. According to all common knowledge, it should be super easy for someone to come up with that solution to our social issues. It was almost as if there was an invisible force hindering people from figuring it out or like humans are hardwired or have a blockage to not be able to think about it. Even though I couldn’t find out the reason for this, I tried making it known to people normally and have them follow my instructions, but it was like they couldn’t hear me, as if they couldn’t understand what I was saying. That was when I realized that the only way to make people listen to and accept what I had to say was to force their minds to do so.”

“Therefore, I now want all of you to listen very carefully to what I have to say. The key to solving all social issues between humans is reproductive technology. Well, not the primitive kind that exists today but one that is advanced enough that it can create humans on its own without the need for any natural reproduction to be involved in the process. That is, all from the creation of the embryonic stem cells, through the development stages before birth and all the way until a new individual is born should be done only by means of technology. A substitute is then also necessary in place of human milk, it should be one whose ingredients doesn’t come from the animal kingdom and is better for babies than human milk.”

“Ideally it would be better if human reproduction were improved further to the point where the body grows and matures into that of a fully fledged adult that’s immediately ready for everyday life, instead of having people be born as incompetent babies that has to grow and develop for about 20 years, give or take. The idea is that it’s supposed to be done immediately like it’s described how Adam and Eve came to be in the Bible, which says that they were already adults ready for everyday life from the moment they were made. That is, however, simply a vision for the future and will only be relevant later.”

“The most important thing for solving these social issues is replacing biological reproduction with a technological one. It will be mandatory for people all over the world to integrate into their societies and communities and refusal to participate will either lead to your people going extinct or forced participation. Using natural biological reproduction after these technologies have been created will not be tolerated. I will explain more in detail how all of this will be achieved, later.”

“As a person who believes in the statement ‘in science we share’ when it comes to why we do the things we do, I think it’s also important to explain how and most importantly why this works. How can something so seemingly unrelated as technological reproduction solve all social issues with and between humans and in turn help humans solve all their other issues? It all has to do with evolution and natural selection. All the kinds of issues I mentioned earlier all stem from the way humans reproduce. You see in the male female reproductive system, the sexual animals uses the capabilities of themselves to obtain resources, territory and mating rights. As those opportunities are limited they have to compete against each other to get them, it drives them to engage in what we humans call foul play. Compared to the more civil competition humans have for different things that are in a protected environment to spur things like creativity, invention and skill that have judges and rules that inhibit and constrict the participants from certain actions, nature doesn’t have that. Killing, stealing, taking advantage of others, you name it are part of the game to pass on one’s genes and get offspring.

“As the only thing that’s left of an individual when it dies are their descendants, the only thing that counts is how many descendants an individual produces and the coming generations ability to produce descendants. Thus the only traits that are able to survive are those that are most useful in passing their own traits on to other individuals. Thus they are the traits that are the most favoured in nature and thus also the most common ones among humans. Hive and colony type creatures like ants and bees for example have individuals with very unique traits in this regard. The worker individuals in them are by instinct fully loyal towards their own society. Why this is interesting is that all humans could in theory get rid of all the traits we look down on and become ideal citizens just like them, if we put humans in the same reproduction environment worker ants and bees are in. The only requirement is that we make one unified, world wide, reproduction system that doesn’t create new humans using the bodies of humans or have humans directly pass on their traits. The best way to achieve this is by making a centralized reproductive system made using technology. This is the reason complete reproductive technology that can replace all parts of natural reproduction is the key to making this a reality. Other than that it also requires all people who're going to continue to be part of humanity to participate or we will end up with animalistic deviants in the future.”

“To go in on more specifically as to what it will include will first of all be a pre-birth development pod instead of the womb which some call artificial womb though that term is somewhat misleading as it won’t be used for the mating part in natural reproduction like a natural womb. It will instead only be used for growing embryonic stem cells into infants. Therefore, I personally won’t use that term. Secondly, it requires a substitute to feed babies in place of breastmilk. When using pre-birth development pods there won’t be women producing breast milk as milk production only starts in a woman’s body through pregnancy and birth, which won’t happen in this case. As that will be the only source of nutrients the babies gets at that time, a substitute that’s at least on par with breast milk needs to be created. Thirdly it includes making egg and sperm cells obsolete by finding a way to fabricate embryonic stem cells without them.

“The first step in that process would be to produce the embryonic stem cells using other embryonic stem cells, like an embryonic stem cell farm and after that one day also start making them from scratch. Those cells will then be modified and given the traits that the best humans have and the traits they are given will be constantly improved to make better and better humans. As the years go by and if things go according to plan, all these methods will be improved and one day change to better ones, but that won’t happen until far into the future.”

“The way the optimal traits are selected should be done the following way. We will have a mandatory world wide competition where we compare and record the traits of people as well as their capabilities. After that an organization led by me will select those we deem have the best capabilities to have their traits passed on, which will be a minority that is the best or perhaps I should say the elite of humanity. The numbers selected will still be in the many millions who are selected each time. Before we invent the technology to produce cells and therefore still require the sperm and egg cells of these individuals, the selection will be held at regular intervals for those who are of fertile age. When technology advances to the point where we can create and modify embryonic stem cells freely, we select the best traits among all people and modify produced cells to have them. The reason this works is because human fertility will at that point no longer be needed, as the traits will only be artificially reproduced or perhaps one should say copied instead of being directly passed on.”

“As for what traits that will be selected, its the traits of the intelligent, smart, talented, gifted, socially fit to live in a civilized society, strong, wise, rational, successful, people contributing to society and science as well as technology, the long lived, healthy, durable, those who repel and avoid misfortune and yes that’s an actual thing and there are also people who have traits that make them attract misfortunes of differing kinds like they’re practically cursed and no one wants to have such lives so those traits will be avoided, the productive, people who are not beautiful or pretty but at the same time not ugly either, genetically blessed, people without genetic defects and who aren’t deformed, people whose bodies are durable, flexible, people with bodies who require little maintenance and rarely or preferably never gets sick, mentally healthy, mentally stable, people that lack sexual desire, non sensual, non impulsive, those that require little sleep and recover quickly, etc. Point is it’s the people with the best and ideal traits for humanity as a whole and not just those that bring individual benefits.”

“The goal is to create a superrace of humans by doing this. The upbringing of these new individuals will be the joint responsibility of all people. Remember, the better job you do of bringing up the new generation the more benefits you will get from them when they start contributing to society. So don’t be stingy or sloppy, but make sure to do a proper job. Don’t worry, we will make sure that the newer generations take care of the old ones when they get too old to work, no matter who actually has offspring and passes on their traits. That whole family line thing should become irrelevant in the future anyway. Remember that just because you personally aren’t picked doesn’t mean that you don’t contribute in your own way, but it simply means that instead of specifically contributing to society by passing on your traits you will be doing all kinds of other things. Things like working, coming up with new, beneficial ideas and things humans should do, help making new ideas known, help bring up and educate the next generations, etc. If someone who isn’t selected at first does something outstanding later there’s a chance their traits will be selected in the future, so make sure to do your very best. Being selected does not affect your standard of living or anything else, but just that. You will have the same chance in everything else. Remember, it’s just a way to ensure that the world gets better for everyone by making the future humans the best and least retarded ones possible.”
