<strong>Syn<strong>the</strong>tic</strong> <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Intelligence</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Transmutation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Humankind</strong><br />

in a similar way we mourn a deceased friend or relative; this would hardly<br />

be a stretch.<br />

This ability to download personalities for our robots is imperative for<br />

this <strong>and</strong> upcoming generations <strong>of</strong> AI robots. People who want robots as sex<br />

partners <strong>and</strong> spouses certainly need a customized personality for <strong>the</strong> robot.<br />

Before we go deeper into this technological development, let us ask<br />

ourselves <strong>the</strong> question why people want robots as lovers <strong>and</strong> spouses. Can<br />

those really successfully substitute for a real human being?<br />

If we asked this question ten years ago, <strong>the</strong> great majority would<br />

probably say no without hesitation. However, <strong>the</strong> world has changed<br />

rapidly in <strong>the</strong> last ten years. The smartphones have been literally dumped<br />

on <strong>the</strong> market, <strong>and</strong> nearly everyone in <strong>the</strong> developed world has one (now<br />

<strong>the</strong>y are also dumped on <strong>the</strong> Third World, as we discussed earlier). Our<br />

biological bodies may still live in <strong>the</strong> Third Dimension (3-D), but our minds<br />

are becoming more <strong>and</strong> more stuck in virtual reality. Everything people<br />

think is <strong>of</strong> value happens on <strong>the</strong> smartphone. This is <strong>the</strong> “escape” people are<br />

taking from an o<strong>the</strong>rwise harsh <strong>and</strong> stressful environment. The main<br />

reason why <strong>the</strong> Controllers want to stress people out, financially <strong>and</strong> in <strong>the</strong><br />

work environment, is because <strong>the</strong>y want us to escape into <strong>the</strong>ir electronic<br />

devices, which <strong>the</strong> same Controllers are happy to provide us with. They<br />

want us to focus on virtual reality environments, <strong>and</strong> once enough people<br />

get hooked (which has already happened), AI is incrementally introduced<br />

into <strong>the</strong>se virtual reality devices (iPhone’s Siri is <strong>of</strong> course one <strong>of</strong> those).<br />

The more people disappear into <strong>the</strong> virtual world <strong>of</strong> smartphones,<br />

computers, <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r electronic devices, <strong>the</strong> more disconnected from each<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y will become; regardless <strong>of</strong> how many Facebook friends <strong>the</strong>y<br />

have. Connections between human beings can only be done in 3-D or on a<br />

multidimensional level. This is very important to point out because<br />

although people “connect” in virtual reality, <strong>the</strong>ir 3-D bodies have <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

needs, <strong>and</strong> so do <strong>the</strong> mind <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> soul. This is <strong>the</strong> entire reason why <strong>the</strong><br />

sex robot market will boom! Instead <strong>of</strong> going through <strong>the</strong> hassle <strong>of</strong> dating<br />

somebody <strong>and</strong> keeping up a relationship, which requires constant work <strong>and</strong><br />

sensitivity to each o<strong>the</strong>r’s needs, people <strong>of</strong> today find it much easier to just<br />

download <strong>the</strong> exact personality he or she wants from a partner <strong>and</strong> thus<br />

doesn’t have to deal with <strong>the</strong> parts <strong>of</strong> a human personality he or she does<br />

not want in <strong>the</strong> partner. Also, when <strong>the</strong> partner is not needed, <strong>the</strong> owner can<br />
