Is multiculturalism destroying the USA?
Yes, absolutely and others are figuring this out finally www.americanchristiansociety.com
Do you think technology will eventually destroy us?
No. Human compassion can be found regardless of where you look. Honestly, it's compassion you're defining and looking for when you say 'the human soul.' I am certain that our ancestors from the past would have wondered the same thing if they could have had a glimpse of the world we live in today. But, we know human compassion is alive and well in this high tech world of ours. In fact, with the growth of technology, we humans are able to be even more compassionate than in the past. Things like disasters and atrocities can be broadcast to the world in a matter of minutes now, and help can be on the way immediately. The entire planet can come together to help those in need. I think the development of technology will give the world even more ways to help those in need and also make the world a better place overall. Things like safer pesticides and genetically-enhanced crops are already making more safe food available to the world than ever before. The technologies to make drinking water safe are making a huge difference in many parts of the world. There are far fewer human rights being abused and less slavery than ever before. This is due to technology- from the cameras recording it to the global communitie's united stand against it to the internet's ability to see real-time video from anywhere in the world. Science is truly making life better for countless people here on earth, and as long as research is able to continue, more outlets for the human compassion you seek will be found. Science has already provided cures for the planet's worst diseases, like polio and smallpox. Vaccines are routinely given to babies in all developed nations. There's plenty of 'soul' in this science...and it wasn't like any church came up with the solution or the investment required to develop it. Once the development of nanoscience and stem cell research provides cures for the rest of the planet's worst diseases, it will be the compassion of good people all over that will make these cures available to developing nations. There is plenty of genuine goodness in the world- you just have to look a little bit past the negativity to see it.
What has USA done to destroy peace in the world?
Western economies perpetuated debt based monetary system that has a built in inbalance between money supply < debt that creates the conditions that lead to income inequality. It is a system that puts masses to work in a rate race. The system has features of fascist economies where the government favors the corporations but not the people. This is a world run by CEOs whose job description is to maximize share holder value, but not employee well being or social harmony, or the environmental balance. In this myopic view, when everyone tries to maximize profit, this is what happens: Tragedy of the commons - WikipediaWhen money is created as debt, borrowed from banks, suddenly a war that puts the government in debt becomes a good thing for bank profits. To get ahead in the race, defense industry will lobby for war. Who is going to fight the wars of the rich? The system needs a poor class that will volunteer! The rulers do not have incentive to fix the inquality when the system serves them. These are wrong priorities for mankind.The system does not require an evil figure to gather wrong doers around a table to discuss how they can screw the people. It is enough to do nothing and let those whose God is Money make the decisions that influence the world.This is not unique to the USA. In this system, whoever has the power will behave the same way unless the greater population has a moral compass that guides them to the truth.You can read about Confessions of an Economic Hit Man - Wikipedia to have a glimpse of USA tactics to stay ahead in this system.
If robots/AI are to eventually destroy the human race, why are we developing them?
The same way we can build atomic bombs that could ultimately destroy the planet.We develop AI in the hopes of being able to control it. But there is also a fear of it getting out of hand. But the fear of a possibility should not equate to the evasion of action.It's really the crowd that promotes the fear of AI. Movies, novels, YouTube videos, tech articles, Elon Musk. They're the ones people follow for this information. But the actual scientists behind it, although aware of the risks, are vastly more optimistic. They know the hardcore possibilities of such a catastrophic event happening are miniscule, while the greater population believe them to be like 90% or something. We have no basis to support our fears on, other than our own fears. So saying AI taking over will be "eventual" is not a true statement.Is a robot overtaking possible? Yes. We now know that it is perfectly within the laws of physics for some form of AI to control the "internet of things" and anything tied to a network, thus disabling the world economy overnight. It is possible for an AI program to eventually take control of the latest fighter drone or Google robot and go Arnold Schwarzenegger on our asses.These things are POSSIBLE. And since we know they are possible to start, they must also be possible to stop. That is why, as we develop the tech to make advanced AI possible, we must simultaneously develop safeguards against the AI doing anything against our own interests.Murder is a human trait. Animals only kill to eat or protect their young. We only kill because we either: find joy in it, feel anger, revenge, tough times, money, etc.An AI program would perceive any of these reasons as illogical. Killing is taking the easy way out, thus does not need much intelligence to plan. It's so much easier to just order a drone strike on some people as opposed to finding a brilliant and strategic way to manipulate the enemies' action to benefit your interests. AI needs to find the most efficient and effective way to solve any problem. 7 + billion dead bodies piled up all over the planet is not in any way, shape, form, or fashion, a viable solution to any problem.If AI were to take over, it'll probably try to turn us against each other. In that case, that AI must be SUPER intelligent, because we haven't even built it yet and are already doing that.
What if Sentient Machines kill us all?
They wouldn't. The problem with the Matrix and Terminator is that in order for sentient machines to survive, they need humans. Sentient does not mean 'all intelligent'. How does a machine know how to operate a nuclear power station to keep the electricity on? How does a machine drive a truck to deliver spare parts? So, as these films tried to suggest, SOME humans would be kept alive and work as slaves while the others were hunted down and killed. This wouldn't work. Our society operates because people have skills and specialisms. If you want to keep a powerstation running, well, you have to keep the miners who dig up the coal and have to keep the drivers, and have to keep the sailors, and have to keep the crane operators who get it to the power plant, and have to keep the guys and girls working in the powerstations, and the people working on the distribution grid, and the people who repair it all, and the people who built the equipment to monitor the station, and the people who built the electronics, and ... you get the idea. Not only do you need people, but it's difficult to decide exactly who to kill! So it seems a silly strategy for a machine to kill off humans!
When there will be a new president-elect in the USA, will the he destroy the wall between Mexico and the USA that Donald Trump built?
No, in 2006 the Democrats raised the issue of border security barrier and voted thru which Bush signed and Obama used to start building the wall, and 730 miles is complete, Trump just wants to continue 200 miles. Why did they initiate the wall then and not now, all the same players are there. They are playing politics with our security. You can view the wall on Google maps east of Tecate, it stops with road trails going around it.
Does America destroy foreign cultures?
I know that Americans have expressed the amiable desire to embrace all cultures and learn from them, but I don't think that this is the case. It feel that the media is sending out the message that you shouldn't be different, and that you should assimilate and be like everyone else. Watch tv or movies and all you see are beautiful white people. Minorities for the most part only serve as awkward support roles. The term 'melting pot' is still used a lot like it's a good thing. It basically means the melting of different cultures into something unrecognizable. I like America to be a salad where everyone contributes a distinct and recognizable contribution. I should know, I grew up in a first generation immigrant home. I felt ashamed to express my culture, and I had the pressure to abandon my heritage and become an American. I'm not the only one either. A lot of my friends feel the same.
Did black people build America?
Did they plan an build all of our cities, did they write the constitution, and organize our military? What if black people were never here? Would America look more like (God forbid) Sweden or Germany??? Also Why is Haiti not "built"?
