THE FUTURE OF ROBOTS AND THE EMPLOYMENT DILEMMA

It’s becoming increasingly clear that androids will soon be part of our daily lives, taking on household chores, grocery shopping, and even jobs in factories, logistics, and construction. Automation is advancing with the goal of reducing costs and increasing profits, but this raises a major issue: if robots take over our jobs, where will we get the money to live? If too many people are unemployed, who will buy the products these companies produce?

There are two possible scenarios. One is the creation of a new economic model, where automation forces the implementation of a universal basic income to ensure financial stability for those who can no longer find traditional jobs. This way, consumer spending remains active, and the economy avoids collapse.

The other scenario is a transformation of the job market. Just like the Industrial Revolution eliminated some jobs but created many others, automation could generate new professions we can’t yet imagine. Humans might shift towards creative fields, tech-driven roles, or industries where empathy and human interaction remain irreplaceable.

What’s clear is that if we want a future where robots make life easier without triggering social collapse, we must rethink the economic model. Technology is progressing, but without a strategy for adaptation, the risk of a consumption crisis is real.

ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS WITH SMARTPHONES

Imagine for a moment that ancient civilizations had smartphones. Instead of artistic carvings on stone or dusty manuscripts, the Mayans, pharaohs, and Roman emperors would have documented their daily lives with video selfies. What would their social media have looked like? What would Leonardo da Vinci have posted on his profile? And what if we had footage of the Titanic sinking, recorded by the passengers themselves?

Well, AI has done exactly that—recreating historical moments with mind-blowing realism, as if smartphones had always existed. From the Mayan civilization to the Victorian era, passing through the Roman Empire and Ancient Greece, these videos bring historical figures to life, capturing key moments through their own "cameras." Thomas Edison filming in his lab, the first woman to fly a plane sharing her achievement, or even the people of Pompeii recording their last day before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Beyond how fascinating and surreal these images are, this opens up a huge opportunity in education. Imagine learning history not through boring books full of dates and names but by seeing the people of the past tell their own stories firsthand. Not just reading about the Library of Alexandria but watching it in its prime. Not memorizing facts about the Persian Empire but listening to its own citizens narrate their history.

With technology like this, social sciences would no longer be that dull subject we used to hate. Instead, they’d become an immersive experience, capable of transporting students directly into the past. History told by the people who lived it, with a level of closeness we could only dream of before.

KEEP THE FERRIS WHEEL SPINNING

A power outage isn't enough reason to shut down the ride. Thanks to his physics skills and his he/him pronouns, people didn't have to head home with that bitter feeling you get when things don't go as planned.

THE WORLD'S FIRST FACTORY WHERE ALL WORKERS ARE HUMANOID ROBOTS

If the factories of the future are fully automated, like Zeekr’s in China, where humanoid robots do all the work, a big question arises: how will private companies make money if people aren’t working, don’t have incomes, and therefore can’t buy what those factories produce? Right now, the system works because workers earn a salary and spend it, but if robots take over everything, that cycle breaks.

The most talked-about solution is universal basic income, a kind of state-funded allowance so people can live without working. But here comes another paradox: if you get paid just for existing, what incentive is there to strive for more? Some might work to earn extra and improve their lifestyle, but those who rely solely on basic income will become the new poor. They won’t lack the essentials, but they won’t be able to aspire to anything more either. It would be like a modern-day rationing system—you can survive with the basics, but not really live well.

And here’s the key point: in any society, there will always be an elite. If factory owners lose control of the money because no one can afford to buy their products, the state will take over, deciding who gets what and under what conditions. Those who manage this system will become the new gods of Olympus, controlling everything while the rest simply depend on them. Whether it’s through big corporations or an all-powerful state, there will always be a few who hold the reins while the rest rely on whatever they decide.

So, who should govern us—the private sector or the state?

Neither one in absolute terms. If the private sector holds all the power, the relentless pursuit of profit could turn people into mere cogs in a machine designed to enrich the few. But trusting the state blindly isn’t the answer either, because history has shown that when bureaucrats and politicians take full control, things often slide into communist models that fail, suffocating individual freedom and crushing innovation.

The only viable path is balance. The private sector must continue driving progress, technology, and advancements in healthcare, education, and science—thanks to competition and financial incentives. But the state, as the voice of the people, must ensure that progress doesn’t come at the cost of our freedom or dignity. A system where innovation moves forward, but with enough oversight to prevent anyone from becoming a slave to it.

HEROES WITHOUT CAPES

Not everyone reacts the same way to danger. Some freeze, others think about their own safety before taking action. But there are those who, without a second thought, throw themselves into danger when someone else is at risk.

The storm had turned the road into a raging river, and a car with a family inside was trapped in the current. The water was rising fast, the pressure against the vehicle increasing, and time was running out.

That’s when he sprang into action—without a thought for his own safety. He could have been swept away, he could have gotten trapped, but none of that crossed his mind. Only the children and their mother mattered. Just seconds after getting the entire family to safety, the car was swallowed by the current and dragged away.
