You’re probably already aware that the FBI has reopened its investigation into the Tylenol cyanide poisonings of 1982, and that the probe is focused on a search of the apartment of suspect James W. Lewis. But have you checked out Lewis’s web site and seen his strange essay on how robots will one day take over the world?
You can read it here. The gist of it is (spelling in the original):
… three choices will soon face all of humanity:
* 1. Robotopia : replaces all human labor and entrepreneurs with global welfare and all humans live happy lives.(or)
* 2. Technological Freeze : a new Dark Ages of sorts preserves human jobs and capitalism.(or)
* 3. Mass Annihilation: elimination of non-producing humans eliminates free loader demand.
So, we humans seem to have a tiny little probelm. How do we get to Robotopia and beyond before the capitalists chop up the robots or kill the would be freeloaders? Does collision lies dead ahead?
The artwork shown here was displayed on Lewis’s web page. The green ghost striding over Boston is especially disturbing in light of the crimes to which Lewis has been linked. The file name on that photo is “webmanboston.”
Note the cartoons are copyrighted to “Lewis.” He’s not a bad artist. Just a bad man (Lewis was convicted of extortion in the Tylenol cases, but not the murders that accompanied them.)
