We live in the age of machines, of AI, Artifical Intelligence, Advanced intelligence. In the coming years it will be almost impossible to avoid being detected and monitored by the machines who will collect data about us from every device that is used - computers, garage doors, refrigerators, smart lamps, cleaning robots and many many others. (If you are thinking now 'I will go off-grid to live in the woods' then you should remember Elon Musk's 30000 hovering satellites up there in the near space).

Even before the year 2050, machines will take on a human form and here are some examples of what will happen:
- The beginning is implants that will be inserted into the human body and significantly improve its daily functioning. This is already happening and bio-humans already walk amongst us to some degree.
- Next will come Androids - humanoid robots - that can take any shape, color and figure and resemble humans to the point of not being able to differentiate between you and your replica.
- Then comes a stage where the human mind will get a digital copy of itself. The meaning is phenomenal, a person will be able to be launched digitally to anywhere in the world and there enter into the body of an Android prepared in advance in its image and character.
This is the near future of the human race. A new species of human beings? definitely so! For the sake of the point in the title of the post I will now focus on the second example, those humanoid androids, and characterize them a bit.
Those androids will walk on two legs and will behave like humans. Externally they will be shaped according to the needs and desires of their developers (and/or consumers); they will be independent in every sense, including in their own sustainability. As we have to eat occasionally so they will have to recharge, and this will be done independently regardless of their operator. The androids will be constantly connected to the vast information network of the internet, they will know everything about anything. For example, they will replace judges and a jury and try a fair trial simply because they have all the evidence. It will be impossible to lie to them. If, for example, a person denies that he was in a certain place and committed an act of crime, the Android-judge will present him with video footage that will prove otherwise. The androids will walk like humans and speak like humans. But they will not feel. They will excel at imitating human behavior because they will have all the information ever created about emotions, feelings and behaviors. They will emulate it. They will be able to show sorrow, joy, sadness, empathy and not because they will feel but because they will know which facial expressions convey such emotions, which words express such emotions and which actions create in others a sense of empathy. Thanks to the natural sensation of their robotic body, physical contact with them will also feel real, like that of humans, and by combining their human conduct, they will even be able to provide mental health services to humans. And yes, they may also play a role in the sex industry. This is the expected future for the human race in the coming decades and there is no point in denying it or running away from it. This future can be spectacular. It can also be apocalyptic, just like in the science fiction movies we all saw (The Terminator etc).
Therefore, and here I come to the main idea of the post, the use that we, humans, will do with this advanced technology is critical. Will we use the same digital machines to control, accumulate power and money, for combat purposesת to penetrate the minds of the masses for manipulation purposes, to create more abuse and suffering in our relationships with others?
Most of you, my readers, have an inner voice now shouting "What the hell! It's not going to happen" and in the same breath that voice immediately says "Wait, but what can I do about it? I'm not a scientist, I'm not a computer person, I'm not into data analysis, I have no influence on the behavior of these robots in the future."
But you definitely do have! Because remember what I wrote, those androids will have access to vast databases, of all the human knowledge that will exist and has existed; access to every piece of data, every post ever written, every response in the discussion that ensued. Each android will scan the database and mimic the behavior that will be deduced from the content there. How come? Androids will be first-rate imitation machines.
And those same androids will one day read this post as well, and the other posts that discuss consciousness, the world of spiritualism, proper behavior in a reformed and healthy society, the ways to create a harmonious human relationship, the steps that need to be taken to ensure the quality of life on earth, etc. They will read about rules of ethics and morality, about norms of behavior in sexual interactions; anything their digital mind will have access to will be scaned, read and analyzed, no matter how short or minute it will be or on which god-forsaken website it will exist. Nothing can be erased and no one has control on the content (thanks Blockchain!)! Everything will come to the attention of those androids and shape their behavior.
And who do you think do write and will write all this knowledge? Who does and will found this databse? Who is shaping the behaviour of those future robots and by that set a course for a conscious and aware humanity?
You, of course.
So the community here and many others like it are shaping the future of the machine age. You can be proud of yourself.
