My fellow Eroidians,

I haven’t posted a forum topic in quite a long time and I’m not one for politics but there is an impending threat we all face which has already effected us psychologically, spiritually, emotionally and socially. I’m talking about our transition into transhumanistic age

I’m sure we’ve all seen some sort of documentary or been to a seminar on the AI topic but we’re in a Transhuman state ourselves as Elon Musk has mentioned on JRE of us having instantaneous communication and information with our smart phones. Raymond Kurzweil calls this the singularity and mentions several stages or epochs of transitions where we’ll all eventually “our consciousness” will be uploaded into a mainframe. A hive, emotionless, repetitiveness of just existence

This isn’t a conspiracy theory anymore. We are on the brink of a global existential crises where we may literally find ourselves resorting to Darwinian impulses within the next few decades. I’m sure majority of the members here have seen Black mirror or westworld but this is the current trajectory.

You can research transhumanism by watching these links here:

Everyone goes off the instant line of “oh the universal income guy” they probably read a meme on him and now feel as if they know everything about him.

As a proud union member, we face job losses due to automation on a yearly basis. Every year we evade massive cuts but automation is inevitable. Not only for my job, but for 66% of the workforce of the entire country. 66% of labor force in our country work in retail/trucking/service centers and are facing job losses within the next decade

I’ve talked to other brethren about this topic and received the typical “well they need to go back to school or become more skilled” College is not the answer anymore. How many people do we know received a degree and can’t find a job because the market no longer values their field? Majority of the national debt is due to student loans and health care but sharpening your skills or “becoming a better person” no longer holds value for the imminent threat due to automation. Inspirational memes, videos or speeches won’t save us.

I’m asking the members of this eroids to please consider listening to Andrew Yang on tonight’s debate and support him anyway you can. If not, I still whole heartedly appreciate being part of this site and having established the wonderful relationships over the years.
