Topic	Controversial Opinion #4: Automation

Where do you find free Roombas, because most people are out there paying for them In the automated future where I talked about the presence of a robot that could mine materials for and construct a Roomba with no external aid. If you were quoting the posts you were responding to, you'd probably understand this better instead of getting confused by mistakenly conflating multiple different arguments and responding to a point you think I made, but never actually did. LinkPizza posted... And they wont, as they rather make bigger profits Which doesn't explain why there's more free shit available now than there ever has been at any point in human history. Your point of view only makes sense in a magical world where, ironically, everyone behaves like robots and there is no altruistic desire to better the human race, despite that being a fairly common element in fields of scientific development. LinkPizza posted... Not to mention, with the amount of people who dont trust them, many people will avoid stores with them, only shopping at store without them. "Many people". That's a sentiment that will last precisely as long as it takes for them to notice that the robot store is selling things at half the price as the human store, because they don't have to pay wages to their workers and can therefore sell things at a price that no human-run store could hope to match. Again, the Luddites thought people would be willing to support businesses that refused to use industrial-manufactured goods. They were wrong then, just as you are wrong now. LinkPizza posted... And not all the things you listed are free. Literally everything I listed can be found online, for free, right now, completely legally. LinkPizza posted... For example, many music services cost money like a monthly fee. Youtube doesn't and there's lots of songs on there that the creators put up for anyone to listen to. LinkPizza posted... For pictures, it depends on what type of pictures. Google Image Search can get you pictures on whatever subject you like and they are 100% free to download. LinkPizza posted... To print out pictures, you either pay a store or buy the materials to print as home. Then you're not paying for the pictures, you're paying for the material to print them out. As it turns out, most people don't need hard copies of their pictures. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero.
