i think in democratic society as it is robotics would simply cause unemployment. but if robots are truly integrated, they could essentially be our slaves, taking off any and all strain mankind has of self-maintenance (which is a lot, especially considering the entire tertiary sector) however they would be slaves about as sentient as a rock. all our material desires and needs would be fulfilled and all that would be left is to pursue our desires. it would enable a perfect communistic society where all is equal and rich and nobody is forced to work. the only issue i can see is the robotic potential for life. Side: Advantages Robotics
Don't you think the increase in desire acquisition is limited to business ownership? Robots would replace not just the most unpleasant or unappealing jobs, they would replace any job requiring motor skills. Assuming this is true, there would be in increase in market competition with the now new competitors hopeless given the established dominance the market already has. Your best bet is to Patton an idea, sell it to a company, and collect royalties- but really, how many innovators are going to be successful when billionaires can just steal an idea and modify it to fit outside the legal boundaries of said Patton? Basically, suicide rate will go up if the only employment is building the robots- and even that won't happen given that robots will just build each other. I own business netting 80K a year all while going to school full time; I could easily drop out and take my companies to multi-million dollar companies. But I'd rather keep networking with brilliant engineers that I'm meeting. Basically, I'm fine with a robot dominated country, it's you people who have to worry. Side: Disadvantages Robotics
:/ Look, I'm sorry you have a poor shitty life. Sometimes you run into people who just have it better; that doesn't mean they are lying. They could be, but just to assume they are because it's better than what you have is absurd and ignorant. Grow up man; focus on money and make that your main goal and you'll see just how easy it is to make large amounts. Stop wasting your time wondering if someone is lying about money--and/or school--because all that is happening is: I'm still making 84K a year; and you are not. So what now? If you need business advise contact me: [ [email protected] ] - I will give you a number from there; you will be billed for the time. Side: Advantages Robotics
I'm content as a medical student that teaches English to make money. Even if I aren't very wealthy. Lets get it straight who you are... you are a Havard student who seems to be studying what amounts to a General Studies degree - jack of all trades type. You are now saying I should choose money over anything else in my life but yet you are apparently choosing not to. Why isn't money more important to you? Why not choose the multi million empire? You expect us to believe you own multiple businesses. All of these are in robotics? And you are hanging out doing a botany/zoology/psychology etc degree so you can meet ENGINEERS? lol. And finally..do you really think a business savvy person would ever say it would be "easy" to take several companies up from turning over 80k a year to over 2 million? What is this email address you gave me? That's a business address? Side: Disadvantages Robotics
What you just said presupposes: 1) a person not going to school for engineering and business cannot be business owners- and both my parents are entrepreneurs who taught me business growing up 2) I am the only person who owns my business without a CEO to help run them 3) that I own business' dealing with robotics- which I never even said..... 4) that I'm going to school because I choose it over money. -- I go to school for more Ideas and simply because I love learning. I am earning more money than most people my age--or just most people--so to say I am not concerned about money is ridiculous. I feel if I drop out, I might make less because school teaches me about things, I take these things I learn and innovate. If you cut off the learning supply, my innovation becomes limited. I love money as well as learning, what you don't know is I make money from the things that I learn. Botany: I love nature, I learn about different plants and ecosystems so I know that when I innovate, I can either make sure its eco-friendly, or create something that is for the environment. Zoology: I love wildlife, the more I learn about animals, the more I can help. I work with some of the wildlife orgs that try and regulate laws or create laws to protect the animals. These orgs sometimes try and relocate and reintroduce animals; and by me knowing about animals and their needs, I can help by making suggestions (which wouldn't be heard if I had no background in zoology) for these plans. Also, I can suggest certain laws that can be made based on the animals needs (e.g. stopping elephants from being zoo animals because of their lifespan being shorter in zoos than in the wild; and the constitution (AWA) protects animal rights). I love wildlife more than money. Psychology: I love knowing how and why people think the way they do. It helps on the business side of things because I can innovate knowing what people would go crazy over and waste all their money on. But mainly, I just like knowing why people think the way they do. And finally..do you really think a business savvy person would ever say it would be "easy" to take several companies up from turning over 80k a year to over 2 million? I depends entirely on the situation. You obviously do not know which one I'm in. My profit margin increases every summer because I spend more time strategizing and contacting the people who could spread my business' or even promote them. I have CEOs and partners who aren't in school (some are). So it's quite reasonable to understand that when I said I own companies, I wasn't suggesting that I ran them all by myself. Side: Advantages Robotics
a person not going to school for engineering and business cannot be business owners- and both my parents are entrepreneurs who taught me business growing up That's an unnecessary lie. You should have just stuck to your guns and said something like "you don't learn to be an entrepreneur, you just are one". Would have sounded cooler. I have CEOs and partners who aren't in school (some are). So it's quite reasonable to understand that when I said I own companies, I wasn't suggesting that I ran them all by myself. Can you explain how you are netting 84k a year from a group of businesses that you say lets 80k a year if you have multiple CEOs and partners? Your share of the profit must be tiny. Let's see if you can justify " I am earning more money than most people my age--or just most people". 3) that I own business' dealing with robotics- which I never even said..... Back peddling because you've figured it was a lie that was too big even for you? Why did you say you don't have to worry about a robot dominated country and that you are networking with brilliant engineers? I depends entirely on the situation. You obviously do not know which one I'm in. My profit margin increases every summer because I spend more time strategizing and contacting the people who could spread my business' or even promote them. Well.. by that statement it suggests you don't really understand the phrase "profit margins". But anyway... You are talking about a 2000% growth as a virtual certainty if you dropped out. That is one of the things that shows you are full of bull :/ And finally, you didn't answer my question about the email account. I asked because you are supposedly running this huge operations but yet your business address is with gmail? LOL! Side: Advantages Robotics
That's an unnecessary lie. You should have just stuck to your guns and said something like "you don't learn to be an entrepreneur, you just are one". Would have sounded cooler. Me saying my parents are entrepreneurs was to clarify why I am good with business even though I don't go to school for business. It would also suggest that entrepreneurship is in my blood... Can you explain how you are netting 84k a year from a group of businesses that you say lets 80k a year if you have multiple CEOs and partners? Must you be so stupid... I initially said 80K to the other user not specifying. I gave a margin. 84K is a more specified number. Your share of the profit must be tiny It's generous... You do know what 'Net' means the context I used it in right? Let me clarify: 84K a year is not what I profit or personally make. My businesses earn that much a year. Back peddling because you've figured it was a lie that was too big even for you? I feel sorry for you, and your money. Let me simplify for you: if robots become more dominant: lets say I run a business with employees- I would replace my employees with robots, pay less, earn more... If my business was internet based--owning popular websites etc.-- then a robot domination would not effect me now would it? I see why you are an English teacher Well.. by that statement it suggests you don't really understand the phrase "profit margins". Well... let me explain how I used it: profit margin meaning- around how much I make in profits (I.e.if I profit 10K a year, during the summer, that profit margin increases to 13K a year). I wasn't using the business term. You are talking about a 2000% growth as a virtual certainty if you dropped out. That is one of the things that shows you are full of bull :/ I obviously gave myself high hopes (its called optimism). And I never stated the exact second I drop out, I am getting a million dollar check for my companies... Come on with the straw mans. It will takes years to grow my businesses. But they will certainly grow into multimillion dollar companies. And finally, you didn't answer my question about the email account. I asked because you are supposedly running this huge operations but yet your business address is with gmail? LOL! Did I say that was my business address? I said contact me on THAT email for my number. I have a separate email for business (as in business is fully discussed by that email). I actually have more than one business email but that's irrelevant. Further questions? Side: Advantages Robotics
Must you be so stupid... I initially said 80K to the other user not specifying. I gave a margin. 84K is a more specified number. LOL! Again you use the word margin wrong. Do you think it means estimate? Seriously, I don't imagine its possible own businesses that do well without knowing what a margin is. Surely someone would have used to term with you somewhere alongthe way. It's generous... You do know what 'Net' means the context I used it in right? Let me clarify: 84K a year is not what I profit or personally make. My businesses earn that much a year. So it what way is that how much you earn per year? I assume you're deducting your own wage and that of all your partners and CEOs afterwards? Come on. Tell us how much you actualy earn. If my business was internet based--owning popular websites etc.-- then a robot domination would not effect me now would it? I see why you are an English teacher You still haven't answered the question. For the third time, why are you meeting engineers? Well... let me explain how I used it: profit margin meaning- around how much I make in profits (I.e.if I profit 10K a year, during the summer, that profit margin increases to 13K a year). I wasn't using the business term. Again: margin does not mean estimate. I obviously gave myself high hopes (its called optimism). And I never stated the exact second I drop out, I am getting a million dollar check for my companies... Come on with the straw mans. It will takes years to grow my businesses. But they will certainly grow into multimillion dollar companies. So not only the sum total of the business that would generate over 2 million dollars in profit -its all of them? So really you're talking about a much much higher growth than 2000%. Why don't you just tell us what businesses these are? I think it is an extremely naive business person that thnks they can certainly increase a business by that much. "A certainty?" ffs kiddo. Just lie a little smaller. Did I say that was my business address? I said contact me on THAT email for my number. I have a separate email for business (as in business is fully discussed by that email). I actually have more than one business email but that's irrelevant. Why didn't you give me a business email then? I thought you were going to give me business advice? Come on, list it here, it would be good advertising. Side: Advantages Robotics
LOL! Again you use the word margin wrong. Do you think it means estimate? Seriously, I don't imagine its possible own businesses that do well without knowing what a margin is. Surely someone would have used to term with you somewhere alongthe way. I usually use 'Net' margin when describing how much the Co. earned excluding taxes. So it what way is that how much you earn per year? I assume you're deducting your own wage and that of all your partners and CEOs afterwards? Come on. Tell us how much you actualy earn. My partners' and I personal earnings will not be disclosed on this site. I will say I just clarified that I do not earn that much a year. The companies earn that much (after taxes) and that earning is divided between the company, myself, and partners/CEOs. You still haven't answered the question. For the third time, why are you meeting engineers? This is a rather silly question... I will say I meet engineers so when I have an idea, one which I cant construct into reality, I could contact a colleague that specializes in engineering. I am a business advisor/businessman, not an engineer. So its helpful to have some as contacts. Again: margin does not mean estimate. I said I wouldn't disclose my personal exact number (for legal issues). So not only the sum total of the business that would generate over 2 million dollars in profit -its all of them? So really you're talking about a much much higher growth than 2000%. Why don't you just tell us what businesses these are? I think it is an extremely naive business person that thnks they can certainly increase a business by that much. "A certainty?" ffs kiddo. Just lie a little smaller. If you just said it was a naïve estimate, then how would I lie smaller? You mean "lower my goals"? I've read this sites User Agreement and disclosing my actual companies--or websites--that I own would me liable for anything I've said that relates to said companies. I've also said it would take years to grow my companies. You also still do not know who I know. A company can increase that much easily with the right call to the right people. I also said "certainty" comported with "you don't know my situation" meaning I--really my parents--could already have contacts with the right people who could potentially help with the growth. Why didn't you give me a business email then? I thought you were going to give me business advice? Come on, list it here, it would be good advertising. You cannot read Mr. English teacher; I said I will give you a NUMBER meaning PHONE meaning CALL that number I will send to you THEN you will get business advise. I have a SEPARATE email for advise that will be discussed THROUGH THAT EMAIL. I will not advertise on this site, again, for legal purposes. I would contact addhlt (who I believe is the official owner) and discuss advertising. --- Again, you may hate your life--as well as the other users--because you cannot do to much based on financial issues, but no need to take it out on me. You clearly ignored the entire debate purpose JUST to copy a part of my argument that would require you to know me? I understand if I announced this to you randomly, but this was not intended for you to subtly vent your hatred for people earning more than you and having a better education than you all while being younger than you. For a mature teacher you should've just ignored my statement and kept it moving. But obviously since you feel inferior you cannot just let it slide. Just like when I said something about school, you copied my comment and said "but you don't go to Harvard" as if you know me? Grow up man. You live your average low paid life, and I'll live mine. For the sake of further arguing: I don't own any businesses, I don't go to Harvard--heck I've never even been to school, I have a 98 IQ SD 15, and I am poor/hungry and on welfare.

I usually use 'Net' margin when describing how much the Co. earned excluding taxes. Muy bien gringo! You finally googled the term after using it incorrectly to mean estimate several times. My partners' and I personal earnings will not be disclosed on this site. I will say I just clarified that I do not earn that much a year. The companies earn that much (after taxes) and that earning is divided between the company, myself, and partners/CEOs. So.... how do you know you earn more than me? You own several tiny companies - let's say 3 that each gross 30k a year. You're hardly the next Bill Gates kid. (I don't believe you do actually own these companies, but just for the sake of argument). I said I wouldn't disclose my personal exact number (for legal issues). Well, aren't your companies limited companies? There is no legal issues not to disclose as I think (although not sure because it is the US) that your companies' earnings are public domain. This is a rather silly question... I will say I meet engineers so when I have an idea, one which I cant construct into reality, I could contact a colleague that specializes in engineering. I am a business advisor/businessman, not an engineer. So its helpful to have some as contacts. Bullshit. You were going to make your companies about robotics but figured you couldn't pull off the lie. If you just said it was a naïve estimate, then how would I lie smaller? You mean "lower my goals" No. Look kid. You say you own several small companies that each net what the average wage in the USA is (LOL! maybe pull you head out of your arse and think about that). No one in their right mind is going to say "oh but 100% certain that they would be earn several million per year if only I'd give up my botanical psycho-zoology degree :*( " It is not just about having contacts with the right people. Don't be silly. I will not advertise on this site, again, for legal purposes. I would contact addhlt (who I believe is the official owner) and discuss advertising. He would allow you to mention the name of your business and what it does. You suddenly decide to become all coy when it comes to details of your businesses. I wonder why? The smell of bullshit is suffocating. You live your average low paid life, and I'll live mine. Mate, I know you've create this lie thinking it was the best life you could imagine but even the lie isn't that great. I work my ass off because I want to qualify to be someone that helps people. My career means something. I am proud. You say you own several tiny companies that give you money for not doing very much. You say it is 100% certain that you could turn these tiny companies into the next greatest business empire but you haven't. You just can't be arsed I guess. Even with your fantasy life, I don't see why you think it would be more worthy than mine. Side: Disadvantages Robotics

Oh, wait, I forgot you're just an English teacher making less than 84K a year. I know you aren't a professor so how would I even conceive of you making more than 84K a year being an English teacher in SPAIN. You were going to make your companies about robotics but figured you couldn't pull off the lie LMFAO WHAT?! I never hinted anything about robotics?? YOU assumed that. Engineering and robotics are two separate things. It is not just about having contacts with the right people. Don't be silly. Stay in your English teaching lane. Its about who you know when it comes to big business. He would allow you to mention the name of your business and what it does. Says the person not him...? I never planned to advertise my business here. YOU suddenly responded on a post not directed to you because your life is shitty.

You're the type of person who doesn't know how become rich, so instead you pitch the whole "I just want to help others" as if being rich couldn't do that but on a bigger scale. You think just because someone claims they make the average amount of money they are lying? Hm, wonder why. Its always the less fortunate charity cases that say someone lies when they have it better than them. Keep being delusional. You have a lot of growing up to do if you just sit around trying to prove someone is a liar by constantly checking up on them waiting for a post that contains a claim that is contentious. You teaching solves no world issues. If you were killed no one would suffer or think your life had significant relevance. You would be replaced with someone maybe even better. And, again, you do not know who I know or what I do, so to dispute me as if you do shows your inferiority. You still have that email, so if you wish to stop guessing and find out who I am exactly, contact me, until then adios. PS- I am not american so refrain from the terms "gringo". Side: Advantages Robotics
English teacher making less than 84K a year. Listen genius..in your story you make nothing even close to 84k a year. Let's say you have 3 businesses. That's 24k per business. Each apparently has a CEO because you're too busy studying plants or whatever. So what do you pay them? Maybe 20k a year, minimum, to be a general manager of a company. That leaves 4k per business. Then your partners take their cut of the profits. Oops we have run out of money. How are you richer (=better person I Harvard land) than me again? big business Mate, you own a few business that after paying their employees make less than burger stands. Don't talk to me about big business. As for my contribution to the world being shit. OK. Whatever. I didn't say that about your low income businesses and it makes you come off as an arse. Children in Spain now speak English because of the two years I have spent here. It's a big achievement and creates opportunities for them for the future. I'm also training in medicine. But yeah I should give it up and go and fund a group of tiny businesses and wait until daddy and mummy gives me the contacts to make them multimillion dollar firms? That is more worthy than what I do in life? You judgemental little twerp hahaha. Side: Advantages Robotics
I never up-vote myself as other have pointed out falsely. The owner can check for himself as others have suggested. Geez, you cannot accept anything... You're the type of person who, like a female, goes around saying "i bet his shoes are fake" "I bet...." all because you cannot better things in life. But to stoop down to the "up-vote" yourself? Pathetic. It was established that I don't up-vote myself. Keep up. Oh, and you teaching a few kids English solves no significant world issues. You need big money to do that. Side: Advantages Robotics
You ignore my other post I see. Oh, and you teaching a few kids English solves no significant world issues. You need big money to do that. You mean like the 4k a year that you get from each of your companies? You don't need big money to improve people's lives at all. You arrogant idiot. Side: Advantages Robotics
Oh I don't wish to help anyone (other than environmentalist). I wish to help wildlife. Too many billionaires care about starving kids in Africa or uneducated kids in other underdeveloped countries. they could care less about the rapid declining vulture population, etc. Starving kids need to starve and go away; or go in the jungle and feed the animals with their useless body. Poverty communities should be destroyed and become wildlife reserves. I wasn't suggesting my money now was making any differences. I'm still young. You are a teacher who is establishing your career. And your contribution is miniscule. My future still lies ahead--and its looking much brighter than yours (whether or not you choose to believe I don't care). Basically, yes, you do need big money to change the significant world. Unless you are highly influential and a face recognizable anywhere(which I'll assume you aren't). Don't let anyone tell you money is not power, or people will listen to the guy making 5 figures. $0=No Power. $0=Power=Change=Delusional. Side: Advantages Robotics

I have plenty of possibilities but the most promising is my companies. Even if they don't become multimillion dollar companies (highly unlikely): I am learning business and gaining experience (qualifying me for big positions at big companies). My business is doing quite well. I don't have the need for a lot of money as everything I need is paid for. If I didn't actually care about my companies I could say its just a hobby to past the time. When you don't owe any money (or have debt), and you're making profit, then that's a small level of success.

Thanks for admitting you are delusional and proving what I've said as being correct. A big company would not just accept anybody who shouts out "HARVARD" and risk loosing money or hurting the company in any way. I clearly stated that my experience was the most important. If I say "I've owned several companies that have done this well" will help my case a lot better. You just proved you are trying to destroy the world (read my explanation for helping humans). So yes, that does make me better in that case. You aren't trained in any field I wish to go in so I don't understand why you said "Like me". -- P.S.- don't let the up-votes fool you. Amarel and a few other that I keep making look foolish are constantly checking up on me to see what I am doing, then when they see I'm in an argument they automatically take to the other side. So no matter how foolish you sound, and how sensible I am being, they will still up-vote you to make it seem as though I am being demolished. Petty actually, but it's funny that none of them can ever win a debate with me so they count on someone else and support them (shows their stupidity and inferiority). They also wish they had a better life so to see someone portraying that life makes them want that portrayal to not be real. That way they not only lose arguments to someone smarter than them, but also better and richer than them. Sad it is that they feel that way. I could care less but I just would like that (up-voting) to be known so your head isn't boosted with "HA, IM WINNING". Side: Advantages Robotics

How in the hell was I implying that I'm rich? My parents are rich but I assume you're talking about my personal net worth... right? Stop with the straw mans. Its all about the strawmen because we are demonstrating how you are making it up. Your companies don't make 84k a year. They make whatever they make after you deduct expenses - including the salary of your CEO. We worked this out to be about 4k each company, right? The fact you don't know how to calculate net profit or know what profit margin is shows clearly you don't have a business. "How in the hell was I implying that I'm rich?" Seriously?? You were insulting me for not earning very much. Have you forgotten that already? Side: Advantages Robotics
Who is "we"? The people you asked to come and support your arguments? Its all about the strawmen because we are demonstrating how you are making it up. Your companies don't make 84k a year. They make whatever they make after you deduct expenses - including the salary of your CEO. We worked this out to be about 4k each company, right? The fact you don't know how to calculate net profit or know what profit margin is shows clearly you don't have a business. The straw man was for you only copying one part of my post and ignoring the rest (as you are still doing). I used a term somewhat incorrectly so yeah I'm busted. "How in the hell was I implying that I'm rich?" Seriously?? You were insulting me for not earning very much. Have you forgotten that already? Soo.... That's implying that I am "rich"? Ha, I'm done with this nonsense. You never had to respond to response not directed to you. Keep doing your little teaching thing, and keep attending your average college, keep going for your nursing deg... oh, I mean, medical degree. I'm done here. I know where my business could go, you still don't. You know nothing about me so if I may ask: Could you not respond on my post in irrelevant manners? You know nothing of me, you just assume what I say is false if it sounds better than what you have or if its something that you wish to have. I can say this because clearly you had no reason to comment by repasting my "80K" comment as if you know who I am and what I do. You've avoid answering why you initially re-copied my post with the :/ because you already know the answer is "because you thought I was lying". But why care? Why care if I own a business that profits so little? Is it because I don't have to work for someone (aka be a slave) and you do? Why care so much about my life? I draw the conclusion that yo care because you wish you had it because why else would you care so much about my personal life? EVEN WHEN I am not addressing you? Like I said, most businesses start off small, so to critique mine and say I am not doing much shows your immaturity. Refrain from disputing statements that require you to know me personally. You users seem to not be able to argue relevant points. I added an argument about the world being taken over by robots while you immaturely responded with my companies??? Ha, what?! I am done here. I'll end it with you live your life, and I will beneficially live mine. Side: Advantages Robotics
The straw man was for you only copying one part of my post and ignoring the rest (as you are still doing). I used a term somewhat incorrectly so yeah I'm busted. Mate, a businessman that doesn't know what net profit and profit margins are would be like a doctor that doesn't know what the ulna and radius are. In both cases it could be that you learnt them and then forgot recently (I suppose) but the most likely explanation it that that person isn't a doctor and you're not a business man. Who is "we"? The people you asked to come and support your arguments? You and I. Why care if I own a business that profits so little? Because you make shithead statements like the following: I'm still making 84K a year; and you are not. So what now? Now it has come out that you're full of hot air. Why lie? Side: Advantages Robotics
but the most likely explanation it that that person isn't a doctor and you're not a business man This why you should stay a teacher. I clearly stated I used different terms when describing true profit margin. And even still, I am not an accountant, being innovative does not require the use of terms. Knowing how to make profit doesn't require you to know what a "profit margin" is. You equated me with a doctor--a terrible example btw--yet, a doctor is licensed with 8 years of schooling so of course him not knowing what he has been studying for 8 years would be dubitable. I am a business person who hasn't even been to business school. That doesn't mean I cannot run a business just because I haven't learned terms in school... seriously? How old are you? Or are you saying this just to help your view of me lying? (But again I use different terms when describing profit margin- meaning the real meaning of the word "profit margin" is used differently when I describe it.) Because you make shithead statements like the following: Wow you are sad. I never said that until AFTER you disputed my statement undirected to you. More straw mans? I said "why care" meaning why comment in the first place (you recopied my post and added the :/ face... why? Why did that post--the first one--concern you? Why do you care about that statement?). Stop acting like you don't know what I mean... Prevaricating doesn't solve anything. Now it has come out that you're full of hot air. Why lie? Because it hasn't came out that I'm full of hot air...? I still am making 84K and you're still making less... (or my companies is but you get the point). I have said to contact me--by that email--if you wish to know who I really am... instead you keep making false guesses. Or you could Skype me and see me in the Harvard dormitory- and I'll let someone else clarify that everything I have said is true. Until you do either or, then you calling me a liar is just out of hatred of your shit life. (P.S: I would suggest you Skype me that way you don't make more bullshit excuses like "how do I know if that's you I am emailing") Side: Advantages Robotics
And even still, I am not an accountant, being innovative does not require the use of terms. If you did own a business people would have used these terms with you and you would have had to have understood them. No one ever asked you what your profit margin is? Or a net profit? Or had you forgot? I still am making 84K and you're still making less... (or my companies is but you get the point). NO YOURE NOT!! What a business makes, its profit, is AFTER deductions. AFTER you pay everyone. At the moment, I doubt your companies are even breaking even if you have to pay CEOs for businesses with such low turnovers. Until you do either or, then you calling me a liar is just out of hatred of your shit life. Just private message me the names of your businesses. Side: Disadvantages Robotics
No one ever asked you what your profit margin is? Or a net profit? Or had you forgot? Actually, no, they haven't. We all just know how much we make personally; how much each business grosses; etc. Basically, if I want to know the profit margin I would usually ask in a definitional way like: "how much do we profit (personally) after sales?" NO YOURE NOT!! What a business makes, its profit, is AFTER deductions. AFTER you pay everyone. At the moment, I doubt your companies are even breaking even if you have to pay CEOs for businesses with such low turnovers. When I said "or my companies[...]" I basically meant that I am doing something that generates more money than what you do. Just private message me the names of your businesses. I don't know if that would be wise considering this dispute we just had. Two of my businesses are websites, this could be problematic--considering that a user just created a debate about a site that teaches you how to hack a website: http://www.createdebate.com/debate/show/ This could just easily be solved through Skype. You could actually see me at Harvard (since you think I don't go there) and I have plenty of colleagues that would verify my business--and I could actually show you a part of my business that does not involve a website. And even if I gave you a name of sites, who's to say that they're mine? I would have to show verification that I actually own the sites. Side: Advantages Robotics
Oh, so you're licensed to be an attorney? And you're telling me you've been through 3 years of law school, 4 years of regular college (although the UK doesn't require college before law school but I'll assume you've been to a 4 year college), and you went to school for teaching, AND are currently going to med school? I'm not licensed. I have a law degree but never practised. I'm not qualified in teaching but its not necessary in Spain. Yes I am currently in med school. If I said my company makes 84K a year...

You were insulting me for not earning very much. Have you forgotten that already? Thanks for admitting you are delusional and proving what I've said as being correct. A big company would not just accept anybody who shouts out "HARVARD" and risk loosing money or hurting the company in any way. I clearly stated that my experience was the most important. If I say "I've owned several companies that have done this well" will help my case a lot better. So your degree is useless to any company but the fact you own some companies that make just enough to pay for your CEOs will be enough. Great! Maybe you might want to train in something useful to a job if you want to brag. Side: Advantages Robotics

it doesn't have to be a painful transition, nor does it not apply to the 'long run'. it is as i see it, while perhaps faroff and little more than a pipe dream, one of few sustainable solutions to a well governed communistic future, but without any of the downsides of communism seen in the past. or it could not be communistic, and the only real areas of business would be entertainment, maintenance, education and research. if there are no or minimal costs in the production of food or the setup and maintenance of infrastructure, then they would be significantly cheaper or even free. there would be no financial pressure to survive in a world where any one can survive. do you think the reason slavery was introduced was because it was malevolent to their economy??? this would be an ethically acceptable version of slavery, provided no self-awareness is achieved, as nice as that would be.

Well, if the robot becomes autonomous then we could have a problem on our hands. We can always program the robot the do what we want it to do, but what would happen if the robot could edit it's programming? Or what if one person created a robot that was fully conscious, but was capable of killing humans? Years ago Korea created this weapon. What stops another country or person from doing this on a wide scale? Side: Disadvantages Robotics
As with all things human the ultimate issue is control. As long as we control the robots then we are able to limit their usage to what we need to sustain our civilisation , however, if robotics combined with AI ever gain the potential to become self aware then this conversation would be futile because robotics will have little if any use for us....?
