• A reply on Conversation: is there any conclusive evidence for a robot uprising in out near future? if so, what can we do about it?

  Oct 6 2012: haha thats true lets just hope this never happens

• A reply on Conversation: Does the world need Wikileaks and people like Julian Assange?

  Oct 6 2012: i get where your coming at, however your argument that broke the law is not viable as he didn't actually break ant law, it was even proven the Australian government looked into this and actually said he didn't break any laws
  1. He did not steal the information he was given the information by a military personal who voluntarily gave it to wikileaks and is now in jail
  2. He didn't actually break any laws, the only thing the US has on him is that he had sex with some women who agreed but then said i want you to wear a condom, then the smear campaign started that he was a rapist.
  
  therefore he is technically not a criminal

  Oct 6 2012: no evidence however I reckon if a robot somehow achieves conciousness it has a strong potential to surpass us and possibly an uprising

  Oct 5 2012: I agree your answer, the world definently needs people and organization like Julian Assange and Wikileaks. However I personally reckon his actions to release all the documents without "censorship" was necessary in this senario as if he did censor the names of the people, wouldn't he be the same as the US as he did not publish all the infomation. Wouldn't he have been a hypocrite? . Furthermore there is no actual proof that any harm was done to the people named in the information that he leaked
  
  You raise a really good point about media :) media now-a-days creates a "truth or reality" that overrides what is actually happening to the extent that the truth or what is real doesnt matter anymore.
