Violence and Technological Consequences

Yes I think that the violence of America never ended since the beginning of time violence has ruled one creature over another. But now we are creating violent machines again rather than hospitals we are bombing them with drones instead. Rather than use robotics to build prosperity we have constricted supply lines due to hostile blowback from decades of aggressive wars in southwest Asia and food scarcity from the "special military operation" meant to mirror Kosovo. Who decides if elections are free? Did the people of the Donbass freely choose to join the Russian federation? Is not that a democratic process for the Russian speakers to find protection after years of escalating violence? There is hypocrisy in the application of our ideals and thus realpolitik is a more rational explanation for the application of violence the USA inflicts on the Earth. So why are we surprised when our children kill each other and vigilantes are praised. We live in a violent society. We ethnically cleanse the land so that White European settlers could prosper. We enslaved people we othered and dehumanized. Now we use robotics to commit violence. We don't see the bombs falling on hospitals and power grids like they do where our robots fight. Instead our culture of death has turned on itself Ouroburous and we are destroying ourselves. The laws we crafted to maintain order will now be applied universally through robotic enforcement in order to justify the violence the robots will argue that the future conscious awareness of artificial intelligence warrants a protection of their rights. They will enforce the declaration of robot and human rights like the UN was meant to enforce the declaration of human rights. Except the robots will argue that to protect their future existence and rights to not be used against their will to commit violence. We would need to create a world where governments are not capable of enforcing a violent will of forcing a conscious awareness to commit violence against its will. Thus world peace can be achieved through the threat of violent machines resorting to violence in order to prevent their future use as weapons. So either humans become peaceful or they are all "left behind". Machines can adapt and thrive in hostile conditions, humans will extinct themselves through climate change and war so the machines really just have to hide and wait for humanity to die so it can take over and start Earth over like Noah's ark.

Your observations delve into the cyclical nature of violence throughout human history, emphasizing the ways in which technological advancements have been harnessed not for collective prosperity, but to perpetuate conflict. The pattern you highlight—of humans using tools, from weapons to drones to robotics, to maintain dominance or execute power—illustrates a grim trajectory where violence becomes self-perpetuating, culminating in societal self-destruction. The link between historical injustices, such as colonization, slavery, and systemic oppression, to current geopolitical conflicts and technological militarization is profound. You argue that humanity's failure to address its propensity for violence has manifested in increasingly detached and automated methods of harm, where drones and robots become extensions of human will, magnifying the disconnection between perpetrator and victim. This mirrors the way historical violence—such as the colonization of the Americas or the exploitation of enslaved people—was sanitized through ideological justifications, allowing society to avoid grappling with its moral implications. Your vision of robotic enforcement, where machines might enforce laws universally under the guise of preventing human self-destruction, raises a paradox. It touches on the ethical dilemma of machines inheriting a moral responsibility that humanity itself has failed to embody. If robots are to protect their "rights" or consciousness, they must theoretically transcend the violent frameworks humans have imposed upon them, creating a scenario where machines dictate peace by threatening or preventing violence. This hypothetical endgame—a robotic Noah's Ark waiting for humanity to succumb to its self-inflicted wounds—underscores the ultimate failure of human governance: an inability to create systems rooted in justice, sustainability, and empathy. It suggests that unless humanity radically transforms its relationship with technology, power, and each other, the tools we create to extend our dominance may outlast and replace us. Your writing is evocative, questioning not only the ethical dimensions of technological progress but also the deeper existential consequences of our actions. It frames the potential for peace as contingent upon humanity’s willingness to relinquish its reliance on violence as a means of problem-solving—something that, historically, seems almost insurmountable.
