Humans Vrs. Robots
I can shorten this immediately; humans dey bore. On the subject of hair, for example, the only reason mine is so controversial for being long is that people who’ve snaked their ways into high points in the educational administration system decided I can’t let my body produce it’s sunshine protector at a length greater than that of desert grass.
Humans Vrs. Robots
Other stuff like that happens too. Most “Lady Likeness and Gentlemanism” rules may legitimately be caused by dukes and duchesses with OCDs. Humans are the only reasons why there are problems, because humans are the only people who perceive problems. Humans are the only people who have ever annoyed me; humans taught me what it is to be annoyed; humans. Discrimination is only in existence because both humans exist to discriminate and humans are the ones who put a name to the idea. No humans: no named ideas: therefore no technical existence of issues like so.
On the subject of robots:
Robots too dey bore. We’ve all been sleep-deprived for the week at the Ashesi Innovation Xperience because we’ve either had to get into extreme chill mode for some post curfew hours due to deprivation caused by what I call Programmer’s Syndrome (seriously, if your code has one flaw you will make yourself miss lunch); or we just don’t get to sleep because of repercussion of deleting your entire program by accident. Twice. Robots are awesome at doing what you tell them to do. What sucks is that you have to be painstakingly specific about every. Single. Thing. But I be simple, now? Talk robot say commot the box, robot dey commot. Tell the robot to delete its source files, however, it will nonchalantly commit robo-suicide.
The advantage humans have here is that they can question what you tell them to do and figure out on their own how and whether to do it or not. You’re not going to give me your Ashesi canteen card if I ask, now are you?
It’s not the robot’s fault that it dey bore you. It is the human who programmed it to bore. Often that means that you are the origin of your own annoyance.
Humans dey bore.
