Inside The Mind Of A Filipino Bitch


"There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women."
                                                                                                                                                                                Muhammad Ali Jinnah

This article is not about dogs or anything related to canines whatsoever, but rather an in-depth look on the perception of Filipino women and what makes them the vicious, bloodthirsty, ravenous species that they are, hiding under a blanket of innocence. Before we begin, we need to understand some empirical facts and data that had been  used in establishing an unbiased outlook to help understand why Filipino women have become what they are now. To start off, we have to look at the following statistical data which are backed up by numerous experts in the field of psychology, sociology and more particularly in Genetics.



Does A Child Inherit A Majority Of Their Traits From Their Mother Or Their Father?

According to British scientists, D.N.A does have a lot to do with the way a child inherits his or her intelligence from their mother and father respectively, but fact is, the majority of a child's intelligence comes from the mother, representing 80% to 90%. So don't be surprised when you find out that your child from your Filipino wife turns out to be a dumb ass. If you want to marry a Filipino woman, please submit her to an I.Q. test, just to make sure she has enough mental capacity to use the microwave oven or could at least cook you a decent meal for that matter.





Recessive Genes And Bloodlines With A Predisposed History Of Mental Illnesses

Here is one truly shocking fact that most of the world did not know about South East Asia. As of 2018, there is a rising and frightening problem which is affecting a lot of people in numerous Asian countries. In the past year a lot of people were reported to have been suffering from different sorts of mental problems ranging from subtle depression to clinical schizophrenia. Among these Asian countries, the Philippines is among the top countries in the region who has 19 million people who are currently suffering from various forms of mental illnesses.No wonder this country is in a stagnant state of squalor, as if having these people suffering from mental illnesses be left alone to propagate, which eventually led to some of them, acquiring  high governmental positions!

A Filipino woman's behavior can be rooted out from the recessive genes that their ancestors had passed on to them, even variables  such as environment and habitat has no relevant importance on how they think, fact of the matter is, whether a Filipino woman is raised in the Philippines or elsewhere, they will eventually be manifesting those annoying habits or strange mental attitudes that Filipino women are well-known for all over the world, and that is, being a fucking bitch!




Slaves To Mass Media And The Mental Inadequacy To Realize That They Are Slaves

Even before the dawn of the Internet, the Filipinos were already slaves for mass media, particularly television, movies and anything that gives them entertainment in the most absurd and euphoric way.There was a time during the 1970's when Sesame Street (I missed this children show so much) was shown in Filipino television on a daily basis which helped in a very big way with educating the entire country, particularly improving the English vocabulary and competency of most Filipino children during that time. Unfortunately by the late 1990's, Sesame Street was sadly taken off the air and replaced with a stupid, Filipino produced children show called "Batibot", which never led to anything inspiring and life changing for the entire Filipino nation.

Filipino noontime shows and other entertainment based network programs even became worse than they were 40 years ago. These programs never really enlightened Filipinos, but instead, gave them a sense of false illusion which became the basis of how they perceived as the ideal model in which they should base their lives.From glorifying criminals and drug pushers to indolent rags-to-riches stories, Filipinos will blindly bite into anything their feeble mental faculties could understand and believe it as the truth of how they see things in their own, narrow minded perspective.


Different Stories, Same Dumb Filipino Bitches



To many of you who are not Filipino for obvious reasons or have come across the word "Filipino" for the first time, I fervently ask you, for your own good, not to marry a Filipino woman as you might regret it for the rest of your life. Filipinos are only good for a very few things, that being a pet or a slave,but, when it comes to Filipino women, its a whole new ball game. Being as dumb and stupid as they may  seem, most Filipino women are either conniving or playing dumb just to get you on a marked spot on the floor, and drop the proverbial piano on your head.

The Filipino Woman As a Wife

Primitive but compelling. To most foreigners who are married to Filipino women, it should be pretty obvious by now that your dumb bitch Filipino wife only married you for your money, and I know that you don't care about the fact that your Filipino wife has the courtesy to admit it or not, nor would she be honest enough to admit that she is having a sexual affair with other men since you married her and brought her to your country, fact still remain...she will remain to be your wife, despite the beatings and utter regret that you will soon feel, she will hang on to your relationship, like a blood sucking leach just for the sake of money.

Another fact that you should consider is that Filipino women feel a great sense of pride and joy when they end up marrying a foreigner. They eventually end up as the centre of conversations in their neighbourhood when the entire community hears about the news that one of their neighbours daughter has married a foreigner. Ah yes, a foreigner, marrying a Filipino woman is like a wounded fish, swimming among sharks. Unfortunately, not all Filipino women marrying foreigners have a happily ever after ending, and I'm talking on behalf of the foreigner. Some foreigners who come to the Philippines eventually end up poor, drained to the last cent, and left all alone by their Filipino wife because they have no more money. These poor bastards either end up going home to be ridiculed, or ending up homeless in a country that they though that they would find their happiness.




 

American Man finds love, marriage and betrayal with a Filipina


"Why do you have to urinate on the bathroom floor!?" was once quipped by a foreigner when he accidentally walked into the toilet, only to see his Filipino wife squatting on the floor, directly underneath the bathroom drain, urinating, regardless of the fact that there is a toilet, just beside her. Are Filipino women crazy? The man was annoyed as his Filipino wife arrogantly answered that "it was more convenient" rather than sitting on the toilet itself. The man thought to himself that a 5 year old Caucasian child would had more common sense and dignity to use the toilet itself rather than squatting over the bathroom floor drain!

Believe me when I say that these bizarre and annoying things practiced by Filipino women are not limited to those women who had married foreigners as they are also applicable to men living in the Philippines as well! So, how do you say bitch in Filipino? A friend of mine who used to be a mailman, once told me numerous stories on how his Zamboangenian wife used to cheat on him and even told it straight to his face that she was having an affair with another man! There was even an incident that his wife would directly go to the post office to claim his wages on his behalf without him ever knowing it until there came a time when he was plunged to debt, resulting in him incurring a debt amounting to 121,000 pesos!


The Filipino Woman As A Daughter 

Despite the positive things that you might have heard about Filipino women, in which I think are all too over rated just for the sake of not looking bad for the whole world to see,there are however, numerous accounts of Filipino women marrying Korean nationals who in turn ended up forsaking their entire family, favoring their Korean spouses.The story begins with my friend's eldest sister, who after graduating as a teacher, went to Korea and married a Korean national. All was well for a time until an unexpected offer was made by my friend's Korean brother in-law, in which my friend's family was offered an opportunity on becoming one of the board members of a Korean language school that was about to be opened here in the Philippine.

Eventually, my friend's family was given a majority stake at the newly opened Korean language school in which, he and his younger brother was offered a seat  as President and Vice-president respectively, an offer too good to be true. As you know, foreign entities who want to put up businesses here in the Philippines are required to have Filipino partners that would constitute 80% Filipino ownership of the company. The entire family was offered a lucrative monthly stipend just for them to pretend to be the majority shareholders of the company, which was perfectly alright for them to begin with. My friend's father even went out too much as to resign from his long time job, as he (the father) put his entire trust on his daughter and his Korean son-in-law.

All was going well until such time as they were suddenly taken by surprise when they were told that the school was already sold to another Korean national who was a friend of their daughter's husband without them knowing about it! The entire family was left in utter disappointment, mainly with their daughter and how she never even gave a shit to tell her family of what was really going on. This led to my friend's father becoming an alcoholic for the sole reason that their daughter could do such a thing to their family. One thing was clear, my friend's family was ratted out by his own elder sister.

The Filipino Woman As A Mother

Lastly, how do you suppose most Filipino mothers teach their sons and daughters the value of life?Unknowing to most people in the world, most Filipino mothers teach their children to become bitches themselves! They raise their children, grooming them to become sheep and cattle and hauling them off to market for the highest bidder. Especially Filipino women who had sons or daughters from foreigners, these children were raised in a certain way to be exploited and to earn from their half-breed looks. Most of these children would be trained to prepare themselves to enter the realm of show business, hoping to become actors, actresses and models enabling them to earn lucrative deals with talent promoters, so that their Filipino mothers can redeem themselves in a financial way.

Well, given these funny facts, that most foreigners would rather turn a blind eye to the truth of their Filipino wife's bad attitude for numerous reasons such as you can't find good help these days, added to the fact that the Philippines can offer the most mileage for their money when it comes to looking for a Filipino wife who can become their own private slave and help at the same time.Funny or not, the truth still remains, the Filipino woman is one of the world's most enduring worker who can withstand all sorts of violent torture and disgrace just for the sake of maintaining their pride, although it often makes Filipino women come out as being slutty and shameless just for the reason of earning money.

DentistFind and Their Filipino Ass Kissers

I had been writing articles for certain websites now for quite a long time and most of these sites are owned by foreigners, which hire and outsource Filipino writers from various online job sites all over the world. Struggling with being an online writer has a bit of drama including a lot of hardships, which requires you to maintain a degree of sanity when it comes to tackling your tasks on a day to day basis. The job itself is really no laughing matter as you would have to keep up with deadlines and update your employer with regard to the progress of your work. But, nowadays, most foreign clients delegate people in the country where they outsource their employees and rely on these employees to run things or should I say run things the way they perceive their employer wants to.


Sometimes, what their foreign employers want isn't exactly what they thought they understood. One such foreign comp[any is DentistFind  which is based in Canada. DentistFind is a web portal that connects the visitor of their site to various dental services all around Canada. Just recently, I had the unfortunate experience of having been able to apply as an online writer for their website and all was going fine until such a point that my Skype interview was about to begin. I was surprised to find out that my interview was  going to be done by a Filipino, which I find it really surprising that to think that a Canadian dental company would blindly rely upon Filipinos for recruiting other Filipinos!





Now that is what I call a bad judgement call! Really? Relying on a Filipino to recruit a fellow Filipino? Not to prolong the narrative, my job application went sour for the most absurd reason and that is...my web camera wasn't working! I mean come on now! The Filipino woman who interviewed me was named Kaye and as soon as my interview got started, the first thing she asked me is to activate my web camera, in which I quickly stated that my camera doesn't work for the honest reason that it was broken. And to my surprise, which quite irked me the way Filipinos could be so annoying is that she abruptly ended my interview for no apparent reason, other than I didn't have a working web camera!


The way I see it,  it is more of arrogance and ignorance combined with this bad Filipino attitude of being an ass kisser. Since this is one of the most predominant traits that most Filipino have when it comes to winning the favor of their employers here and abroad. There are numerous cases around the world in which Filipinos are the first ones to degrade their own kind just for the sake of getting the full attention of their foreign employers.


Added to this,they even try very hard to copy their foreign master's intonation and vocal slur, "Have a good one too, Kaye". Do you really have to imitate your foreign masters? How could these Filipino employees live with themselves? They will (Filipinos) do everything they can, and I mean everything including selling off their entire family (metaphorically speaking) in every possible way that they could even to the point using their fellow country men.


This reminds me of the time way back in 2013 in which I had a similar situation which involved Golan Media of Cebu which has closed down years ago because of, you guessed it, Filipino incompetence, in which a Filipino was also interviewing me and evaluating my articles for the job I was applying for as a writer.


"As I wrote before regarding the continuing plight of the famished and underpaid Filipino writer, that is also being victimized by his own country men in obligatory writing for other foreign principles, I can not help but utter out these refined sentiments that I'm sure everybody will agree on, "the Filipino will rat you out just for the sake of earning from your own misery" (Kaya ibenta ng Pilipino ang kapwa nya para lang kumita). This is quite true all over the world were most Filipinos work here and abroad.




The term objectively implied here is "social cannibalism" in where people disregard any social adherence such as sympathy or apathy just to be first in line when their foreign masters call them for a doggy snack! This proves a resounding confirmation that we as a Filipino society are slaves to the social turmoil that has led the once reputable  and honorable occupation of writing look like and over aged prostitute still plying the sex trade route just to feed the hungry soul and at least a little compensatory respect that a writer deserves.



Such manner of taking advantage of the misery festooned upon the writer's need to earn is a company in Cebu City, Philippines Called Golan's Media. On the first week of my stint as an article writer, I was paid a measly $29.00 for a total for a whole weeks work! When the second week of my work has ended, I noticed that there was no notification about funds to be forwarded to my account. This is one of the signs that something is not right.



As expected, a certain Mark from Golan's Media of Cebu, was starting to complain about the quality of the work that I had previously submitted, that it had a lot of errors, that I needed to revise and edit it all..."Screw you Mark!" This are just some of the simple lame reasons why on line writing sucks and it is because of Filipinos that take advantage over other deprived writers who would like to earn just to make ends meet.



Social slavery can do this to all of us depending on who is on top of the slave pyramid. They will give every reason to steal your efforts or even get them for free from you without a thank you in return. These are just some of the evil truths of Internet writing jobs that the Filipino writer has to face on a daily basis. Do you think that foreign employers care about this? Absolutely not!



It's a dog eat dog world out there, which just goes to prove how vicious the world can be for people who were raised on the principles of honor and trustworthiness. Money is not the issue here, it is trust and the trust on your own countrymen. An honest advice to all writers who had the unfortunate experience such as these, publish the works that you have been deprived of as your own because you were the one who labored for it!"




 Filipino writers are among the best of the best all over the world when it comes to flair and passion regarding writing. Unfortunately, scarcity and a poor government who fails in every minimal aspect of taking care of the welfare of its citizens are among the primary reasons in why we, as Filipino writers, engage in the futile search for a meager wage based on our writing skills. The Philippine government has miserably failed in solving all of its economical problems due to the fact that it doesn't do any tangible and credible efforts to address the antiquated problem of education, poverty and corruption of government.





The Philippine government has been sold to foreign principals ever since the United States had brought the rights of colonization from Spain in the late 1890's and as of today, is still the same state as it was then, scrounging for respect from our “masters”. Which puts me back to the main concern of the Filipino writer's plight of having to embarrassingly accept pennies and dimes from arduous writing obligations from principals all over the world. As writers, we are among the top best country with a high degree of English competency in the whole Asian region. We can read and write English, far more better than any of our Asian counter parts even though we are openly treated as slaves in more ways than one.

The global accessibility of the Internet has eventually led to further diversify the opportunities of earning added income to those who posses the adept skills in real writing. Unfortunately, honest writers, and I do mean many of them get short changed in regards to the right amount of compensation that should be given to those who truly deserve it in regards to their skills. There is even the frequent intentional misdemeanor of the employers part of making petty reasons not to pay the lowly author as to completely deplete any form of trust regarding such writing endeavors. There are no assurances of any security protecting the Filipino writer from this sort of discrepancy as it is just taken as a social reality that no matter how good you are in what you do, job wise, there is an 80% chance that you will be abandoned after you had done a good job.

Employers who seek out Filipino writers must at least reconsider our plight midst this dwindling morality that is being corroded by utter poverty. We want to earn as badly as the next person who would want to earn an honest day's keep, and we are even willing to do it well beyond the reasonable indicated rate for wages just as long that they be honest about the job that they offer to all Filipino writers. Filipinos are very honest and sincere towards their work and even go an extra mile beyond the responsibility of the job needed just to prove our faithfulness in our mutual respect for our employers.

Another annoying subject is that of those posing as legitimate employers from India and Pakistan, who ask for samples of original writing articles as they will first evaluate it for Copyscape, and then eventually fade off into the darkness, leaving the dumb witted and over trusting Filipino writer wondering what ever happened, as all is too late to realize the truth that his or her article has already been used by the so called employer. We have no way of controlling such matters of employment and it is only by chance that you be so fortunate to encounter an honest employer who will fully fulfill their obligations as honestly as they can. Some lame reasons that I have encountered employers saying that their business is not going so well and that funds can not be provided to pay for services rendered.

On-line writing is a very fulfilling endeavor if your efforts come to fruit in regards to giving informative perspective to the article that you write. Writing is not a lucrative undertaking and will not suffice you financially contrary to all the advertising that you come across the Internet stating otherwise. Be very careful in dealing with employers who are not willing to cross the threshold of trust. Write with your heart and mind first before writing for any other principles other than the truth of the reality of life as money and financial gain can derail you from your divine principles as a writer.



 How do Governments control society? Well, there are certain means of doing that, besides the more obvious reasons such as absurd tax policies, economic control, fear propaganda and all other sort of mind redirecting methods that induce a varied public opinion of the status quo. Unfortunately, World Governments have been utilizing the most simple form of mind control ever conjured by a society that has only one thing in it's devious and dubious mind...Entertainment and Mass Media.



Entertainment and mass media has been around since ancient times, a means of relieving society's angst with regard on why life in this world falls short from our ideal expectations, despite assurances from governments that they are doing the best with regards to looking after their citizen's welfare...yeah right.




Entertainment and Social Media, particularly the Internet is nothing more than a subtle means of controlling our general opinion on what is really happening to the world today. Quite frankly, I am really surprised to find out that society has grown more stupid in light with the dawn of the Internet.

Especially here in the Philippines, where these so called “Well known Bloggers” have decided to establish themselves as the best that they could be when it comes to imparting their thoughts to the world, when in truth, it is nothing more than an act of self-indulged debauchery on their part as writers!

Have you ever read these blogs that these so-called “Top Filipino Bloggers” write about? Senseless and irrelevant since all they write about is their feel-good psychotic delusions on how they would like people to look at the world in their point of view.

I must admit, Filipino Bloggers are the best in the world...the best slaves that is...It's so obvious that they write to impress foreigners who for the past decade or so are all outsourcing Filipino writers to write for them. Filipino writers are not real writers...they are social media zombies that follow their slave masters every command.



Sad to say that the true unadulterated essence of literature has been reduced to a "tabloid-like" state, veering away from a more truthful and respectful representation of what a Filipino writer is capable of conjuring up with regard to writing.


Most writers these days just write about things that will attract people who view the Internet as a "legitimate" source of daily information, but in truth, Filipino writers are forced to conform to what they think people would want to read in the Internet.


Of course I believe that the Filipino writer is up to par with the world's best when it comes to writing as we have a vivid way of putting our thoughts through words, but instead of telling the truth as it is, we are forced to put a little bit of exaggeration to our words...just to please our foreign employers.


Another thing that bothers me is that not all Filipinos know what they are reading when they open up a blog page. Do you honestly believe that the general population of the Philippines has a convenient means to access the Internet? Do you fervently believe that the general population of this country has the intellectual means of understanding the message that we are trying to impart as writers?

Chances are that only a few people in this society will be able to read the articles that you are writing, and that is only limited to those who belong to the lower and upper middle class of this society which had the privilege of acquiring a decent education. Hence, it may be a bit useless and frustrating on our parts as writers to define our thoughts when we know that the general masses of this country won't even have the slightest idea of what we are trying to impart through our writings.

Do these Filipino Bloggers really know what foreigners think about Filipinos and the Philippines as a whole? Monkey slaves and pompous braggarts...and that is not meant to insult my fellow Filipino writers, as I my self have been victim to such racist "puns" by my former employers.




A word of advise to those who are thinking of  finding an online job, make sure that the job that you are applying for is run by a non-Filipino entity, any foreigner that would find your skills sufficient enough to competently finish the job that has been given to you is a good employer who would not have second thought on hiring you in the first place. Except for those cheeky Indian nationals that pretend to be employers while all they ever do is steal your work, telling you that they will evaluate it, but in truth, they will use it for themselves instead!




As a word of advise to foreigners who would want to employ Filipinos for online jobs, particularly Canadians, who I know enjoy having Filipinos as employees for the most obvious reasons, honestly, you should directly deal with potential job applicants personally instead of relying it to your Filipino "guard dogs". And finally, a word to all of you Filipino slaves out there, trying to win the favor of your foreign employers, if you can not stand competition, try to accept the fact that you are obsolete and don't even try to hang on  since most of you out there can easily be replaced by the next person who is twice as good and as better in what you do. Accept the fact that you are just cogs in a wheel,dispensable, disposable and irrelevant.

2019 and Artificial Intelligence: Who Controls Who?

It's 2019 and I know that the whole confounded world is looking forward to start the new year with optimism and hope for the betterment of all, or at least that's what the people who control the world usually say. But let's not get off on the wrong foot here since most of these people that are controlling us will soon be finding themselves among the common people, just like you and me, bowing down to our new masters...Artificial Intelligence or what most of us have come to know as A.I. Now I know that most of you, if not all of you have already heard of A.I. and the bright promise that it brings with regard to automating the way we choose and decide for ourselves. 

A.I. has already been implemented into our lives on a daily basis and is already being used in various ways, through various industries. During the early 1980's, the first robotic assembly line was used in the production of automobiles in Japan, which inevitably increased production and reduced downtime and human error, but eventually led to cutting down the human work force by as much as half. On a business point of view, this means more profit and less overhead expenditure, which only meant that less human intervention was needed and this was a favorable condition to manufacturers. However, this also meant the eventual rise of unemployment among the hardworking Japanese workforce which relies on the automotive industry, constituting to 25% of Japan's GDP.

So you don't have to be an economist to figure out what is really happening here. A.I. will eventually replace human workers as an alternative to improving and optimizing production. So, what happens to these hardworking people? It is really amusing to know that the same technology that we perceived as beneficial for the improvement of our society, would eventually be  the one that will be lining us up against the wall and shooting us in the head. But, that does not mean that there are no benefits from this technology, not for the most of us, but it will be just for the chosen few, well, clearly it would be just a chosen few.








 I do want to point out that in reality, Artificial Intelligence does have an advantage when it comes to lowering the ratio of error when it comes to production. There is however, an underlying fact that A.I. is already being used to map out our human emotions and it will be used to consolidate our behavior with regard on how we make decisions on a daily basis. A.I. is already being implemented on Google and it is recording every bit of information that we put into our browser, which in turn makes calculative  and speculative assertions on how we think for ourselves. To state it more clearly and precise, A.I. already knows what we are thinking and knows our next decisive move.

During the latter part of this year, I had the pleasure of meeting  Daniel Faggela, who is one of the world's leading advocate and pioneer for the implementation of A.I. as he clearly states the advantages and disadvantages of implementing Artificial Intelligence on a world-wide scale. Daniel Faggela, who is the founder of TechEmergence, talks about the possibilities and pitfalls of integrating Artificial Intelligence. He said that there are certain "contexts" that evolve around the financial sector and the employment sector, that could affect many people.







Daniel Faggela

Founder of TechEmergence


He even gave a detailed analogy how we as humans would approach a certain problem without us knowing any inputted information with regard to the task that should be  undertaken. He stated that Artificial Intelligence would greatly improve efficiency. Unlike humans, A.I. can easily evaluate a myriad of aspects, unseen by humans, making everyday tasks easier. Which puts the ball in the favor of A.I. Daniel Faggela also stated that the evident fear of losing one's job at the moment  may not seem to be an alarming concern since system integration of A.I on a global scale is yet to be seen, although Daniel stated that world economies are considering this and are interested for its countless possibilities.

Daniel Faggela went to say in a joking and reassuring way that even if Artificial Intelligence does get implemented, he assured everyone that there will be no killer robots that will threaten human existence, but, it will greatly change human society either way. He clearly said that A.I. would eventually force people to adapt to it's (A.I) existence, stating that people need to improve or add new skills in order not to be left out in the rain with regard to A.I.'s hence the relevancy of the human work force and its importance to being an integral part of production.

For many people, A.I. could be regarded as a tool, a means to lessen human error, but then again, isn't that the way that has enabled us to improve and jump over the boundaries and obstacles of or society? As a society, we have relied on technology to make daily tasks more easier in the most quickest means possible and that alone is an indicator that we can not do without technology, as losing it would mean that we have to resort to manually running society using the old methods.

It was clear from the start of the Industrial revolution that we  would end up optimizing our knowledge to benefit the most of what we have collected during the past one hundred years and improving on that to pave the way to a better future for humanity to have accomplished what we have now. That also means that technology has already have a grasp around our necks in a metaphorical sense.

The trial and error factor that enabled us to create the world as we know it today and the fact that A.I. is going to base all that information as a starting point to drive our society to an unknown frontier. To most of us, a vague question stands if we are willing to rely on technology for our continued survival as a specie? Are you willing to wager your life riding an unmanned vehicle controlled by artificial intelligence, controlled by bits and pieces of coded scripts?

Just last year, news of a driver-less Uber car killing a woman from Arizona hit the headlines, putting into scrutiny the safety of using Artificial Intelligence on self-driving vehicles:


Self-driving Uber kills Arizona woman in first fatal crash involving pedestrian











An autonomous Uber car killed a woman in the street in Arizona, police said, in what appears to be the first reported fatal crash involving a self-driving vehicle and a pedestrian in the US. Tempe police said the self-driving car was in autonomous mode at the time of the crash and that the vehicle hit a woman, who was walking outside of the crosswalk and later died at a hospital. There was a vehicle operator inside the car at the time of the crash.
Uber said in a statement on Twitter: “Our hearts go out to the victim’s family. We are fully cooperating with local authorities in their investigation of this incident.” A spokesman declined to comment further on the crash.










The company said it was pausing its self-driving car operations in Phoenix, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Toronto. Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber’s CEO, tweeted: “Some incredibly sad news out of Arizona. We’re thinking of the victim’s family as we work with local law enforcement to understand what happened.”Uber has been testing its self-driving cars in numerous states and temporarily suspended its vehicles in Arizona last year after a crash involving one of its vehicles, a Volvo SUV. When the company first began testing its self-driving cars in California in 2016, the vehicles were caught running red lights, leading to a high-profile dispute between state regulators and the San Francisco-based corporation.
Police identified the victim as 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg and said she was walking outside of the crosswalk with a bicycle when she was hit at around 10pm on Sunday. Images from the scene showed a damaged bike. The 2017 Volvo SUV was traveling at roughly 40 miles an hour, and it did not appear that the car slowed down as it approached the woman, said Tempe sergeant Ronald Elcock.






A Precarious Fine Line Between Safety And Assurance

Artificial Intelligence can open up new possibilities, ushering in a new era on how technology can greatly improve the lives of people. But, is there any assurance that this technology will not falter? How can people be sure that A.I. will be as reliable, particularly, how can we be certain that it will not backfire on us? Does A.I. have the ability to become fully self-reliant without any access to the internet, since we as a civilization has made that technology (the internet) as the basis on how we can use all pre-existing technology? We have to put in mind that these are all but machines that could eventually fail on us whether we like it or not, and it would be good to know if there was any chance of A.I. killing us off? Electrical fluctuations, spikes in the magnetic field, solar flares just to name a few, could have detrimental effects on A.I. and it turns out that we have no control over this.

From a broader, introspective view, A.I. seems like a thrilling concept, although it depends on which side of the fence your sitting on. Points of view may vary. An ordinary person may see A.I. somewhat like a threat when it comes to securing a future with regard to employment but on the other hand, if you were a person with a disability, you may look at A.I. very differently. To a society that thrives and relies with the need for fast and precise information, A.I. seems to be a variable alternative to choose since it is likely to filter out human error, making more accurate and decisive decisions, but does it have the empathy to understand our likely needs? Will Artificial Intelligence become as sentient as us? Or, we can wait until the technology for A.I. learns to say: "Oh! Geez Bruh, my bad, I didn't mean to kill a human being!"

Which brings to question the rest of the under developed world, the part of the world that does not have access to decent technology. It seems that emerging technology can only be utilized extensively if a certain demography can use it. Will A.I. improve the way we live in this world as a whole, meaning can every one truly benefit from it? Technology paves the way for a better future and that is a fact that we can not ignore, but it does raise certain questions of dominance over one over the other. If world governments do decide to rely on A.I., where would it put most of us who are deemed "irrelevant" by the system?

Seems like for every notch made by human technology, drives a wedge between our relevance as a specie, that creates a barrier, a seemingly invisible but real wall, separating us from "them". There are no obscure points of view and the integration of Artificial Intelligence offers a lot of compromising possibilities for an unknown future, regardless of the fact that we may wake up one day to find out that we have become useless and irrelevant for that matter. Does this mean that the dawn of Artificial Intelligence is the dusk of human society?


A Darker Perspective
There is a dark side of human nature that somehow ruins things for most interpersonal relationships among humans. Remember that Biosphere 2 project decades ago? Well, it turned out that the whole project failed because of one aspect, and that is, the human aspect. It turned out that the participants became paranoid to one another that led them to group among themselves, even becoming secluded from one another, ending the project in utter failure. Human nature tends to be tribal, and the outcome of the Biosphere 2 project clearly revealed that primal side of humans. Don't you think that one of the major reasons on why people are eagerly pushing for the rapid implementation of Artificial Intelligence is because, people can't stand one another and they rather be alone with their pets or A.I. companions?


In Asia, particularly in Japan and China, some companies have already began to sell sex dolls with integrated A.I. as an alternative in compensating the need for people to have a yearning for "personal relationships". There is a bright side to this, namely, it will greatly reduce the chances of sexually transmitted diseases to spread, and also, it will greatly reduce the anxiety of having to endure a relationship with a nagging partner. But there are repercussions to this seemingly growing trend that has began to spread to the western world as well. If human society begins to accept having Artificial Intelligence as a noteworthy alternative to a conventional, interpersonal, human relationship, will it begin to reduce our population as a species, eventually reducing our numbers, and, heaven forbid, eventually ending our existence as a whole? This reflects the stark reality of our society, bringing out in the open, our reclussiveness that we as human beings are not comfortable with the fact that we are indeed, truly paranoid.
