The meaning of human existence

 

More than 8.2 billion humanity, which is increasing by more than 50%, or more than 50% more births than deaths in 2025, as a potential human workforce, is also facing accelerated robotization, which means replacing human labor with robotic labor. Thus, the paradox of the existence and meaning of humanity and their outlined technological path is slowly emerging.

The technological idea that humans will no longer perform heavy physical work is tempting or attractive. However, this idea is less attractive when we consider the consequence, such as increased unemployment among the low-educated in the labor market.

The consequences of increased unemployment can also be expected among the highly educated with the introduction of artificial intelligence, which will replace teachers, doctors, pilots, translators, etc. .

The middle-educated working class will also be affected, as they should already be familiar with robot police officers, drone soldiers, traders, robot secretaries and more.

The advantage of the entire robotic workforce is high obedience. This is also related to their lack of problems. Robots are supposed to act as they have been programmed to operate or are still led by a human. The disruptive human factor and the associated errors at work are supposed to be excluded from the robotic workforce. So is the long-term education of humans, as the transfer of memory cells in robots is extremely fast compared to humans.

However, the introduction of the robotic workforce has also created the problem of energy consumption, since robots do not function without energy, just as humans do not function without energy in the form of food. Time will tell whether they will succeed or have already succeeded in making robots that would, for example, operate self-powered on solar cells. Of course, on the premise that we do not destroy the Sun and thus eliminate the problem of robot energy consumption.

The price of human labor, including education, is still a matter of debate compared to robots, since a complex robot is by no means cheap. We can also count on the cost of maintenance, the lifespan of the robot and all necessary repairs when replacing human labor with robotic labor. In addition to energy, a robot also needs repairs of worn parts. In layman's terms, it can also be attacked by viruses, just like humans. Viruses are other living beings in humans, although there is also rust, while in robots viruses are software creations whose purpose is also to take control. Both humans and robots are poorly functioning or disabled in the event of a virus attack, and the rules of appropriate power supply and maintenance or repairs apply to both.

So much for the price and functional comparison of robotic and human labor, although I could discuss it at length. What remains for me is the paradox of increasing the potential human labor force, which will compete with the introduced robotic labor force, and the related paradox of the existence, functionality, and maintenance of the human potential labor force.
