Good news everyone: if the robots steal all our jobs then true communism is possible. It will pretty much be like the human dystopia in Wall-E. Instead of giving the poors money, government will have robots grow, harvest and ship food, clothes, and other needs directly to the poors. The poors won't even have to feed or dress themselves. The future is going to be awesome!

i dream of a future where robots buy more robots using the wealth generated by HFT machines on the new jersey border passing imaginary money back and forth 10,000 times a second.

when robots take over the majority production of commodities there will be so few people receiving wages that nobody will be able to buy those commodities in the first place. the economy will collapse cementing the country as a captive society where the majority are helpless wards of the state who receive an allowance to keep the failed system going

I would like to point something out: I liked Wall-E. Great movie. Here is where it all fell apart: No motherfucker would stay on those ships or even on earth the moment there was warp-drive. The Profit-motive of a capatalistic economy would take over. The ship hyper-drives back to earth from the other side of the goddamn galaxy in like, half a minute. If earth figured that poo poo out, you better believe that we would be sticking our cock into every planet galaxy wide for nothing other than the sheer satisfaction of it. I liked what they tried to do, but a ship slow-boating to earth, full of corpses arriving at a dead planet would have been a better ending. Skeletons piled against the exit doors with small scratches in the advanced armor plating. The last skeletons alive (the ones with the densest bones) scratched out "we lived". Wall-E sits there, broken, waiting for spare parts. Eve waiting, impatiently, as the ship approaches earth for a half-millennia. She exits the corpse-mess only to find the dead world, with her dead friends. I think that would have been a better ending.

THS posted:it was a parable and the point was to critique consumer culture using a cartoon robot as the protagonist hth My suspension of disbelief was maintained until they hit hyperdrive. At that point I realized the technological level of humanity had progressed before they left earth, not after. Also, consumer culture wasn't the problem. It was indicative of bad storytelling. A capitalist market rewards companies to deal with the environmental problems because the citizens will demand it. As we see today, the green movement is rewarding companies with higher profit margins for providing environmentally sound products. There is no reason to abstain from technology (a clear subtext of the movie) or consumerism (another clear point), as those two alone would weaken our country. We need to be aware of what movies, especially poorly written ones, will do to the easily molded minds of our kids.

I'd rather use human workers until robots are programmed to feel shame and fear me. Not to mention i would still hire human females until the robot females are lifelike enough for me to bend them over a desk. whats the point of being a rich busniess owner if people don't fear or suck up to you?

I don't recall talking about anything other than My Wife with no adjectives attached. I hope this doesn't effect your ability to realize the necessary aspects of capitalism and why movies like this and "The Lorax" are really just crimes against our childrens' education.

THS posted:a discrepancy in your gimmick posting It was a great movie. That is why I said it up front. But unfortunately, the suspension of disbelief, and the subsequent loss of faith in the message of the movie bothered me. The love story between two robots was very cute and wonderful. Too bad Wall-E wasn't built for pleasure, only speed.

Basically you install an app that makes your computer slow at random times when loading stuff. Then you have this whip with a sensor at the tip of the rope. When you whip your computer, it screams and speeds up.
