Robots began replacing human brawn long ago—now they’re poised to replace human brains. Moshe Vardi of Rice University thinks that by 2045 artificially intelligent robots may be capable of
Khannea Suntzu's insight:
No. Robots won't put people out of work. That is an archaic manner of looking at it. No. What will actually happen is that a majority people will not ascertain means of survival while a majority will own these robots and will completely displace the majority, using these same automated systems to defend their power, properties and freedoms. The majorities of people will have to subsist on a form of pervasive begging. Democracy will be disbanded and the majorities will consent, out of mortal terror, and aquiesce to this ecology of economic predation. There will be a new evolutionary algorithm of maximized consent (i.e. willing slavery) where anyone who doesn't fuilly submit will drop off the grid (i.e. goes extinct) and where only the maximizum docile (minim drones) will remain.
And in all cases these people will angrily denounce warnings. Try and warm them and they will become viciously angry. They will demand you don't make them "depressed". Delete the scoop?

“We are experiencing a state of economic, social and housing emergency,” Amanda Meyer, general secretary of housing for the regional government of Andalusia, a coalition of the socialist PSOE and United Left parties elected last year, said in an e-mailed statement. “We are responding to social demand and a problem that massively affects the victims of a crisis that won’t let up.”

The Spanish State has one responsibility - the people of Spain. The EU is always secondary to this consideration. Delete the scoop?

Police need to understand that those of their profession who misuse their public trust will not be able to hide anymore. We are watching... and filming.
Khannea Suntzu's insight:
Ms. Smith is now suing for $1.5 million in both compensatory and punitive damages. She claims civil rights violations and infliction of emotional distress. I hope whoever hears the case will take into account the toddler who witnessed her mother getting the crap beat out of her for no reason. Baltimore police have an ugly history of brutality, especially against people of color. The incident involving Anthony Anderson, Jr. and the three officers accused of killing him had the city up in arms last year. Community leaders at that time protested, as no action was taken by the BPD against the officers who killed Anderson. One local pastor said that Baltimore had “…far too many people…” finding themselves victimized by police brutality, excessive force and police killings adding that police who committed these acts were never punished.

Slovenian philosopher, Slavoj Žižek has been hailed as "the most dangerous philosopher in the West" for his fervent, cutting insights into capitalism's existential crisis and ecological destructiveness. Accordingly, he's become a sort of mascot for resistance in the West. His acerbic proclamations are always ready on hand in the back pocket of activists, Occupiers, and the like, where a Žižek quote is like a tactical or philosophical trump-card. Some of Žižek's fans were thrown for a loop last year when he, in the middle of his usual breathless anti-capitalist rant, clarified his position, "Don't act. Just think."
