Automation

No comments
Man creates order in his ideas. We work with the mass of resources and outstanding products, which must meet as many needs as possible. But we remain conditional lazy creatures. Every time something new issue - too expensive. And that is why the body produces some algorithms behavior to save energy. These algorithms work as inconscient level (instincts, metabolism, internal organs) and are taken under the control of the human mind (tie with a bad habit to start early to get up, go to the gym).
We try to automate all aspects of life. Starting from behavioral mechanisms (brushing teeth, routes to work) and ending with social interaction (communication, compliments, behavioral roles). And such automation is a natural and normal.
But we do not want to be limited to what is associated only with our body. We organize the space around them, change the world and bring your order to him. Factories stop using people person replaces the machine where it may be replaced. Moreover, the robots do not wish to take up our positions, they are implemented by and for people. After all, if the construction team is several tens of thousands for a single work, a 3D printer that allows you to build a house, it can build more houses for the same amount. Moreover, the remaining unemployed people start to panic, as it was the only kind of their earnings. But nothing prevents them to get a new education and apply for another job. A more secure, appropriate human status.
Automated world enters into our lives, and we are happy to use its benefits. We accustom ourselves to live on algorithms, to improve both them and themselves, in their use. The habits and skills - useful element of evolution. We release more time, acting on a schedule. Improve ergonomics and its own efficiency. So, what we spend free time - is another question.
But is there a negative side of "automation". As such - it is not. It is the use of nuclear energy. Someone is building nuclear power plants, and some - the nuclear bomb. Certain mechanisms of automation - create our bad habits, learn new interfere, canned behavior and seek to preserve our homeostasis. At least, this happens when we allow it to happen.
Cognitive - extremely convenient, tactical tool. If you exaggerate, the instinct - it is a strategy of the organism. Instinct life - a strategy to make their mark in the world. Intelligence allows us to choose the nature of the track: the desire for eternal life, the creation of the child, the creation of a scientific concept, invention or hobby number of sexual acts and nothing more ... With the mind, we can control themselves in this or that situation, time suppressing action, or allowing him to happen at a given algorithm.
We will not turn out - to be constantly biochemical machine. Ignore the natural desire and try to abandon stereotypes - too. What is the result? We can use their strengths, work on weaknesses and for what? In order to achieve certain goals, the importance of which each of us chooses.
