Coming Soon: Robot Land in South Korea. You may want to pack your bags for 2016. But could we instead "TORRENT OUR TALENTS AND MONEY and ELIMINATE POVERTY?"

Robot Land, a theme park showcasing robots promises to be open in South Korea for 2016. In Jurassic Park, criminals stole dinosaur eggs. Could hackers attempt to hack Robot Land, from the inside or out? These will be some of the potentials in a world becoming more interconnected, in world of the 'internet of things.' For your security, human rights and freedom may be reduced. Let's give the robots some space, lol. Who will have more value: Billion dollar robot theme parks, or large swaths of human populations on the African continent? Robots can be fun to play with, that's for sure. But providing fresh water and irrigation and land to poverty stricken areas is not always so fun. I think we must pool more resources and human power, using simple and traditional techniques at first, in order to achieve these basic human living conditions, before we proceed with these other adventurous projects. We have enough extra talent and money to do this. Imagine a 3 or 5 year period where companies and people and countries, with the army and doctors and holistic practitioners and multi-lingual speakers and wealthy people, all pool together in order to provide fresh water, cleaning up toxic dumps and so on, in an Olympic type fashion, broken up into circles a-la Google circle style. We can't afford to move towards a Matt Damon 'Elysium' style system. It must be a future where people who eat herbs and fresh food are not considered enemies of people who design pills. Large companies could form the company mergers and provide the logistics and money, and offering stock IPOs in their new units. It is not a Herculean Effort when hundreds of thousands are involved. That is why we must look to the ants as examples, and apply that paradigm towards the problem.

We could have theme parks and Olympic type villages throughout the world where people and corporate sponsors co-operate in authentic help in providing clean land and food and water and shelter. Everything else would fall into place. If no one is willing to sacrifice any profit or greed from those who have it, then we may be headed down a very dark road towards total systemic collapse.

We could co-operate in the same way as we torrent files.
