Link about that medical robot that has conversation with the patient about performing a surgery?
About the other stuff, I don’t doubt it. But is it more of a fad? Are people globably okay with robots taking over the majority of those positons?
Not playing coy, call me out on what you think I’m doing.
Robotic surgery, computer-assisted surgery, and robotically-assisted surgery are terms for technological developments that use robotic systems to aid in surgical procedures. Robotically-assisted surgery was developed to overcome the limitations of minimally-invasive surgery and to enhance the capabilities of surgeons performing open surgery.
In the case of robotically-assisted minimally-invasive surgery, instead of directly moving the instruments, the surgeon uses one of five methods to control the instruments; either a direct telemanipulator or through computer control. A telemanipulator is a remote manipulator that allows the surgeon to perform the normal movements associated with the surgery whilst the robotic arms carry out those movements using end-effectors and manipulators to perform the actual surgery on the patient. In computer-controlled systems the surgeon uses a computer to control the robotic arms and its end-effectors, though these systems can also still use telemanipulators for their input. One advantage of using the computerised method is that the surgeon does not have to be present, but can be anywhere in the world, leading to the possibility for remote surgery.
In the case of enhanced open surgery, autonomous instruments (in familiar configurations) replace traditional steel tools, performing certain actions (such as rib spreading) with much smoother, feedback-controlled motions than could be achieved by a human hand. The main object of such smart instruments is to reduce or eliminate the tissue trauma traditionally associated with open surgery without requiring more than a few minutes’ training on the part of surgeons. This approach seeks to improve open surgeries, particularly cardio-thoracic, that have so far not benefited from minimally-invasive techniques.

The rest of the world?
When has those in power care about the wants, desires, and whims of the rest of the population?
I’ll reduce it to a simple misunderstanding for now.

Okay, I re-read it again, and I don’t understand.
It seems you interpreted me as playing down any cause to worry. I actually really am legitimately concerned about the future of technology. I have mixed feeling about our advancements, utilization, and control of technology especially where governments and large corporations are in the picture.

But the robotic surgeons don’t take over the role of a full doctor, do they?

A misunderstanding then. No worries.

When the majority of the population is against their plans and they feel their power is threatened.
A little fun here.

Okay, so I just think it is reasonable to believe that people are biased toward their fellow human beings for certain positions and that people will continue to have this bias.
Kill off 95% of the global population through a eugenics and Malthusian style ideology. Problem solved.
Easy to implement also especially if you control 75% of the global economic wealth.
Until the day they don’t because the people with power, money, and influence decide that they shouldn’t.
Are we beginning to see things yet?

Well if you seriously believe such plans are in motion (I don’t) what information do you know about this?
Go to a popular national university and look up some professors. Ask them what they really think about human global population and natural resource sustainability in the long run.
Then, while your at it ask them about how they envision the future.
Also understand that a majority of their opinions very much correlate with the private corporations that pay them.
Look up some of the most powerful individuals on the planet and read their memoirs or public commentary.
Are you good with seeing patterns?

I’m not sure the people in power are that godlike or immune from being influenced themselves. I think we need to spread information about the secrecy apparatuses of governments and put pressure in any way we can on those in power. Currently a country is not run from an economy and resources standpoint by 5% of it’s population, much of the remaining 95% is needed.

That’s a good question, do you think there is a relationship between the global population level and natural resource sustainability?
Would it be nefarious to think that there is better and worse balance between population level, consumption, and natural resource sustainability?
Anyway, what would the university professors be likely to tell me?

Being that transhumanism is the dominant philosophy everywhere I’d imagine you would get a typical reply in that ideological format.
If there is a overpopulation it is one technological society created in the first place.
There probably is.
It’s all about implementation, isn’t it?
If there is a solution to it, what would the implementation or enforcement look like?

Okay, interesting video, thanks.
"For the first time in all of human history, almost all of mankind is politically awake. And these new and old major powers face still yet another novel unprecedented reality. And it is that while the lethality of their power is greater than ever, their capacity to impose control over the politically awakened masses of the world is at a historical low.”
In earlier times, it was easier to control a million people than physically to kill a million people. Today it is infinitely easier to kill a million people than to control a million people."
I don’t think it conflicts with what I said though. The 95% are still need for the power structures that are currently in place. And they spend a great deal of time and effort trying to control people when they could more easily kill people. So I think that supports my position that we are somewhat necessary right now.

Yes, rather in a short term myopic view they still need us for now .
However, looking through the long term into the future there will come a time of disbandment and probably by a genocidal or technological replacement means.
Probably a combination of the two at the same time.
