The Answer We Fear

Supposedly we are worried about the robots rising up and killing off us humans. I've read of this several times but I haven't yet read what I see as the uderlying fear: The fear that human extinction is a good thing - a conclusion that a superior intellingence would inevitably and coldly make.

I am afraid of this too and I see how things can't go on. Our greatest question is "how can we keep on growing and growing and growing our economy and race and not destroy the planet?" Technology will find a way, I'm sure. But won't any technological advance just push the inevitable catastrophe into the future?

It will, and we will either have great technological advance and melt into a virtual world, or we will have to dissolve back into smaller populations and stable economies.
