Trippy Thinking: Part 1

This is for all the people who think outside the box, whether they do drugs or not lol. Also if you don't think outside the box much hopefully this will inspire you to do so.

Lately I've been watching a lot science fiction shows, in doing so it really caused me to entertain thoughts that most would find slightly crazy. For instance I've thought about the topic of artificial intelligence, we've already begun to scratch at the surface of this technology but what if it was much more then a robot or a computer. What if there were androids that were able to reach a singularity effect. For those who don't know, I'm referring to a point when artificial intelligence no longer need humans to exist and can better themselves by their selves and reproduce. At this point we would become inferior to them. Do you think that because we created them that they would want to share what they could do with us? I would hope so, but what if they didnt. We would be facing an android armageddon, the likes of which we've never seen before. I'd like to see those doomsday preppers get ready for that! Just imagine the possibility of all the technology we use everyday could be used against us. Do you think you'd be willing to pull the plug on all power to give us a chance of fighting them, and if we did would it really matter? I think they'd be able to create new alternative power sources we couldn't even think of. Personally I think in all the artificial technologies we should have kill switches to prevent that possibility. Or we would we better off with the possibility of learning as much as we can while possibly imposing our own doom. Unfortunately humans are afraid anything that would make us inferior and I'm not sure we'll ever get past that. Now try to think outside the box and wonder how much we could benefit by entrusting our future to the possibility of being inferior.
