I understand this scenarion is horrific, yet we should not passively follow our new God
Silicon Valley to an inhuman, Orwellian waste land.
For it is true that Technology is reshaping the landscape of our emotional lives, but is it offering us the lives we want to lead?… Are we comfortable with virtual environments that propose themselves easy?”
Is this scensario coming about?
A programmable robot-girlfriend, who satisfies your every need with no demands of her own? A relationship that you are fully in control of, with no need to make yourself emotionally vulnerable? Who, because she has no emotional or psychological history or time of her own, never has desires or needs that conflict with your own
online relationships with other “avatars” that you can disconnect from at a click of a button — placate us through the illusion that we are perfect creatures in complete control of our bodies and minds.
