Sex robots are already off the assembly line and a growing number of both men and women are having virtual world sexual relationships with robotic machines that look like humans. There is a similarity between the sex robots and many of the android-like human politicians that are running for President in both political parties. Both the sex robots and these politicians are providing to the public a virtual world and an electronic form of prostitution. The sex robot acts like an electronic prostitute and the android politicians prostitute themselves before powerful special interest groups and Super Pacs and then give a virtual reality political performance before the public that is just as programmed as the sexual performance of the sex robot.
David Levy, an artificial-intelligence expert and author of Love & Sex with Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships, wrote that by 2050 robots “will have the capacity to fall in love with humans and to make themselves romantically attractive and sexually desirable to humans.” According to a Pew Research report that came out last year, experts predict that robot sex partners will be commonplace by 2025.
Yet sex robot relationships are not real. They have been pre-programmed to provide a series of artificial reality-like sexual experiences. Although the politicians running for political office are human, their relationships with the public, for the most part, are no more real than that of a sex robot. With few exceptions, the relationship the politician cultivates with the public is just as artificial as that of a “SEXBOT.” Every word is scripted; the message they give out is pre-programmed; and all of their interactions with the public are engineered by highly paid political consultants to present a completely manufactured reality that will motivate specific demographic groups to vote for them.
Both the sex robots and the android politicians are completely unreal in their interactions with the American people and the end result is the same, an artificial relationship that is devoid of true thought and feeling. This political artificial reality is as false as the fantasy sexual relationship a man or woman can have with a sex robot which requires that the human participant pretend that their robot sexual partner is real.
But these “relationships” are not real relationships; they are artificial or synthetic relationships because sex robots, or “SEXBOTS,” are not human, but computerized technology which has been programmed to artificially simulate a range of human sexual relationships. These virtual world sexual relationships are incapable of producing real intimacy and they are incapable of producing real life through procreation.
It is only real relationships and not virtual relationship that have the psychological, spiritual, and creative power to produce authentic solutions and transform a nation that is in grave danger. America’s Founding Fathers maintained to a large degree a real relationship with “We the people.” The political and governmental ideas they proposed were built on the reality of history, economics, and human behavior. The Founding Fathers created a unique form of American government based on the truths found in the Bible recognizing that Man is a fallen creature and due to his fallen nature Man and his governments can be easily corrupted by political power. The checks and balances on power were implemented in the form of three branches of government designed to hold one another accountable. As such, the American form of government along with its Constitution and Bill of Rights came directly from reality. In contrast, the political forms of government developed by the French Revolution and the later Communist and Socialist revolutions were built upon a mythology: Man is basically good and a centralized government ruled by an elite for the benefit of the people can produce prosperity and freedom. These are beliefs that flow out of the fantasy world of men’s minds and are in blatant contradiction to the objective record of factual human history.
This virtual world and its artificial debates use an android media that forfeits its role to employ true journalists with integrity acting on behalf of the American public and instead asks carefully scripted questions designed to advance the agenda of the same elite which finances the politicians. With rare moments of candor, there is little reality in these debates and the most important questions that could actually inform and equip the American public are never asked of the candidates. There is no more reality in most of these debates and the carefully scripted answers of the candidates, than there is in the so-called sexual “relationship” offered by sex robots.
For example, the various cable news networks that host the debates never bring up the truly important and real questions that would enable the public to understand what is really going on, such as how the TPP and other trade treaties continue to move high paying manufacturing jobs out of the U.S. and force the wages of middle class workers down. This is glossed over. Another example would be the true agenda behind Common Core which is designed to “dumb down” students, make them compliant, and prepare them to be happy with lower paying jobs. Politicians who voted for Common Core are not held accountable and the media never educated the public about the real agenda of Common Core.
In these virtual reality debates the very nature of the debate is Orwellian in nature. Massive amounts of critical information are deliberately blocked out, so that completely irrational questions are asked of the candidates, such as questioning them about the need to get tough on protecting America from domestic terrorist attacks and the need for ever more intrusive surveillance technology, but with no in-depth questions about the rising tide of people from terrorist-sponsoring nations who are pouring through our Southern borders.
On one hand we have virtual reality Republican debates which center on pre-arranged and often superficial and controlled questions. On the other hand, we have the complete farce of the Democratic debates, where the media and the other candidates are only allowed to ask Hillary Clinton the most softball questions. Although Bernie Sanders explains the destructive nature of TPP to the American worker in a way that the majority of Republican candidates never reveal, he refuses to challenge his opponent Hillary Clinton on any truly serious issue, which creates a completely unreal debate…a virtual reality debate.
The primary dynamic here revolves around the principle of choice and an act of the will. In order for an individual to engage in a virtual world sexual relationship with a sex robot, that individual must willfully choose to pretend with their imagination that the sex robot is a real person. In the same way, the only reason our political candidates and media are allowed to create a virtual world political contest that is for the most part pure fantasy is because the American people have chosen to use their imagination and pretend that they are participating in a real discourse with the politicians, real debates, and a real political process.
