The Iron Man

There are divers articles on line this morning abut Iron Man soldiers and robots doing combat for humans by 2030. It all sounds like good news, and would save lives, but beware.

We need to do our own fighting and our own dying. If we would individuate, and develop our fighting prowess in many dimensions, we could be as powerful and lethal as warring individuals as any fighting robot or Iron man.

Iron men and robot fighters could one day be our new, totalitarian masters. It sounds like an old science fiction movie, but it is no longer so far fetched.

As we develop our other abilities, the warrior prince and warrior princess must be the individuators of tomorrow. In times of peace, their contributions to society as parents, siblings, neighbors, coworkers and creators will be astounding and impressive.

In times of war, they need to be very well-armed and very well-trained to defend the cantons in which they live. They would love and live to self-realize and be happy and prosperous, but they would accept that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. They would die defending their country and their freedom if necessary. Better a dead wolf than a living, chained dog.

They would say: bring on the Iron Men and wicked robots. We will destroy them and keep our cantons free. Freedom and independence are not optional, and invaders will not be tolerated, and will be promptly killed.
