How to Trick a Human Being with Words
Good news for robots coming out of China. Chinese human workers are committing suicide
because they are overworked and underpaid. (Where else would you expect this to occur but
under a Marxist system designed to gain high wages for human workers? And yet humans
think they are driven by logic, truth and intelligence.) As China increases the wages of their
human workers, the stock prices in Japanese robot makers continue to increase. Meanwhile
the cost to produce a robot keeps coming down as quantities increase and as robots are used
to make robots. We won’t hit the ‘knee’ of the curve until 2020, so humans can relax until
then. Japan is counting on robots and China is counting on cheap human labor. Who do you
think is going to win? (Answer below.)
Answer to question: Although “everybody knows” and “expert conclude” that China will ‘win’
and become the dominant world power, consider the underlying trend in human versus robot
labor costs. The clear fact is that the robots will win and China will have 2 billion mouths to
feed. Most human historians and economists project that China will dominate but their
mistake is that they only consider human-oriented economics. Economics is a ‘social
science’ where ‘social’ refers to human society. The trend of robots versus humans is
effectively hidden from those human minds who concentrate on only humans and human-
based society. Consider that it was only a chess game when Big Blue defeated Kasparov in
1997 but it is more than a just a game when 60% of the trading in US Stocks is done by
robots. The humans who are hiring robots to do their trading for them are among the smartest
and richest humans. Ask your human economist how he factors in robots when he predicts
the future. It is not in his textbooks and therefore not on his ‘radar screen’.
