Here are some current global trends1 in robotics:There are over 3.4 million industrial robots in the world todayIndustrial companies plan to invest 25% of their capital in industrial automation over the next five years14% of workers have lost their jobs to robotsFrom Rosie the Robot to Robocop, past generations have been programmed to think robots will be a boon to society. The original robots were meant to do the mundane, and support civil society.Issac Asimov, who coined the word “robotics” generally characterized the robots in his short stories as helpful servants of man, and proposed three "Laws of Robotics" that his robots, as well as sci-fi robotic characters of many other stories, followed:Law 1 - A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.Law 2 - A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.Law 3 - A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.Today we are breaking all of those laws, with robots that serve the military police-surveillance state, as robo-vacuum cleaners and gadgets become harvested data points, eventually used against our best interest. How do we build servants, rather than become slaves of a master robot race we ourselves have created?Join us as we discuss:The history of roboticsRobots in pop cultureEconomic impacts of roboticsRobots and the future of our humanitySUBSCRIBE to our SUBSTACK for the full experience!

Did you know that LED streetlights can put us into a trance while driving? The disco balls of Saturday Night Fever have taken center stage on our highways with the LED stroboscopic effect, making us more tired and more prone to accidents as we barrel through the long lonesome highway. Why does this occur?Intense white LED arrays like those most commonly used for roadways emit ultraviolet and near ultraviolet light, which has been correlated with sleep inducement.1 To make matters worse, even amber LED streetlights may emit blue light wavelengths that our brains cannot detect.What can we do about it?We need to look no further than the inventions of Nikola Tesla, who designed a light with health, not profit, first in mind.
