I've been in the workforce for 40 years.
 
The changes I've seen have me to believe that
if Aliens don't take over then robots will be needed.
 
The workplace has become total crazy. 100%...total. Not 99.99999.
The workplace hotline is the tool for tools to register
their ideas/complaints and the lawyers take it from there.
Like so many things a degree of intelligence is not a requirement or even desired....by the tool or lawyers.
 
After seeing first-hand I think there is but one solution, without Alien takeover, and that
is for every working person to own a robot that they will need to maintain and program as needed
to perform their job duties.
When one reaches the retirement age and IF they have taken care of their robot then
it can stay at home and handle tasks as needed while enjoying open communication with
their owner....which will probably be illegal if a hotline is created for robots.
 
I am very content knowing that I have just a few years left before escaping this madness by
my choice and if shortened by their choice...just not a problem.
 
 
spelling... 

What's the matter here?

Similar to the matter there. I reckon. Matter is pretty much consistent throughout the known universe.
 
 
It's the unknown universe that's inconsistent.

 think they are from jersey....

LOL!
 
Life began in a place far, far away....a place called....jersey.

Yes we from Jersey are aliens. You have been contacted, you have been warned.

 You can only look for what you know.

And now back to your regular program.

I like the idea that there is more, much more, and that we can fit in that "more", well, too! It's my only hope, desire, and idea, about it all.
 
We limit too much of ourselves by our social behavior and interactions, and only when you trip around the world some and visit three or four places, will one see these differences. It's the same thing talking about foreign music here, and I seriously doubt that many of these folks will EVER even bother to listen to 5 bars in any of them! On top of it, it's the same guitar, amp and recording materials! How's that for different!

I see what you're saying, we should broaden our horizons more,  but you're missing my point.
You could give me a piece of paper with my name written in the middle surrounded "random" shapes and squiggles which could each be my name written in a different alphabet. Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Korean, Hebrew etc.
Unless you told me all those shapes and squiggles were my name I would not know. I only know what it looks like in English with a Latin alphabet.
 
We may have been staring into space for the past hundred years right at inteligent aliens trying to contact us, but we don't recognise them.
 
We can only look for what we know.

Interestingly, for someone who is always suggesting people explore new and different things, you seem to repeat this one particular idea a whole lot with very little variation. Perhaps you need to stop limiting yourself and to explore some new ideas here?

MoshkiaeI think the biggest problem is that we're stuck on our own "physics" and do not believe that there are other type of organisms out there that live in completely different environments that we can not conceive.
 
Gotta love how egocentric the science is in that matter. WE'RE defining what is out there in the universe, instead of that universe defining for us what there is and there is not!

"Physics" is not an opinion.
 ...

Not sure about that! Most astrophysicists disagree on a lot of things and theories.
 
The point was, that we're too small and think that the physics that work here in our environment are the same physics that work in different environments, and that is a supposition, not physics.
 
Question is, would the physics also stand up in the bigger celestial world, and we can not say with any certainty that it can ... we're just now getting out of our VERY OWN solar system with Voyager, to be able to get any idea, and the information from there will change a lot of physics in the next 10 years!
 
Keep an eye on it!

Physics/science is evidence based. Though indeed competing theories are common in the scientific world, those theories will either be confirmed, discarded or continue as unproven theories based on evidence. Or perhaps they will be rejected based on their own inconsistencies or incoherence, or superseded by newer "better" theories.
 
Randomly imagining that different rules might somehow apply somewhere else and then assuming that this is likely to be true - absent any evidence or coherent theory why this should be so - is an error in reasoning. You can assert that things might be different somewhere somehow, but until there is evidence that things are different somewhere, or there is a comprehensive theory explaining why we might expect things to be different in particular ways, there is nothing there.
