The era of the Industrial Revolution mechanized humans. In today’s information age, machines are increasingly humanized, exemplified by artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence combines with robots to take over tasks traditionally performed by humans, leading to what is known as mechanical unemployment. This trend is referred to as the phenomenon of dehumanization, which concerns many laborers. However, the burger shop ‘Creator’ in San Francisco has embraced robots, selling burgers at an appealing price of $6 each, sparking considerable discussion. Rather than having a human operate like a machine, robots are utilized, while humans engage with customers, consult personalized recipes, and serve the burgers. This situation illustrates how advanced mechanization can help restore genuine humanity. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
When dealing with others in good faith and suffering from the reality that the rules and methods of life they believed in are no longer accepted, you should question the “Good Samaritan Complex.” The better a person is, the harder it is to realize that they are confined within a distorted framework. If you see people around you who don’t want to put themselves at a disadvantage for others as you do, or if you’re angry and uncomfortable with the fact that others don’t show their sympathy, you should look back to see if your goodness is a defense mechanism protecting you from being hurt. The problem with Good Samaritans’ lives is not their attitude toward life but rather how they are perceived by others too much. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
