@cmiciek @mer__edith No I really think there's some truth to it, in the long-term... We are starting to offload our moral decisions and punishments to an ethereal non-human entity, taking the leap of faith that it will be more fair than If an individual biased human made the decision.
@cmiciek @mer__edith Directed energy-armed drones will be pretty much indistinguishable from Zeus... Particularly after the next pandemic knocks us back to the Dark Ages.
@cmiciek @mer__edith (I do like the vision of a world where humans scamper around underfoot as a much wiser all-powerful being competently manages the big stuff... I'm sure Aspie-ish techies will be favorite pets for their adorably-underpowered hints of rationality)
