Sci Fi has a tradition of using fiction as a setting to narrate a comment about reality. That's all well and good but it isn't evendence of anything. One has to do the leg work of starting with reality then drawing conclusions. Do you really believe we're programming robots with the four laws of robotics?

I've argued objectivism for decades now. I don't need to start from Ayn Rand to show it of little value. I've forgotten most of the arguments now but they will come back quickly if you want to start with one. My memory isn't as good as it used to be. |
