A Bot-Burger may be convieniant sometimes, but other times, I enjoy a little pleasant human contact. Making eye contact, sharing a smile or a remark often adds to the experience.

If you’re going to a fast food restaurant for that, you have other problems.

You prefer to be human.

Bot-Burgers——dehumanization process-—conditioning
for the Transhumanism of J. Huxley and sex with only robots-—total dehumanization and nihilism and the Malthusian’s wet-dream.

Nihilism (Culture of Death) was started in the 1800s but is now culminating rapidly into the Brave New World-——you see dozens of people, families at restaurants and they are all focused on screens, not even acknowledging their family, children, much less strangers.

Total isolation of all humans (and as Ray Bradbury noted—it is done intentionally by the masses—they are giving up real human interaction for a fake/partial/artificial (superficial) Interaction—not Real Life contacts. (They are learning to live in an artificial, sterile, isolated reality-—so the Matrix (happy slavery) will be easy transition). They will not have to do or think-—just press buttons.

Kind of like so many young children-—looking like programmed fat bots—they can stare at screens for hours and not move and are so disagreeable if they have to answer one little question. No skills with interactions with others (which takes practice, time and playing with real human beings).

Amish groups refused even to have a telephone because of the dehumanization factor—”face to face” interaction is so much healthier emotionally, and leads to better communication, is more intimate/personal, than talking into a phone or artificial device that separates people and creates laziness about actually going to another’s house to really visit and have a cup of tea, where all emotions can be detectable and can’t be as easily misinterpreted—all senses not activated as God designed them to work when you use machines. Proper mapping of the brain and the human interaction, which creates true maturity and control over base emotions is better.

It is like reading a book v. watching TV.....Reading involves more senses and all the mind working in thousands of little ways-—watching TV shuts down the brain and does all the creative and hard work for the brain so actually destroys neurons instead of building them up in children.

We now push buttons and look into screens and wonder why our lives are so empty, emotionally sterile, and puerile, so devoid of human interactions in reality.

Isolation will destroy sanity and create all sorts of emotional problems in people, esp. children, since we are “social” animals, as Aristotle put it. Herd animals as Fichte put it.

We are designed to be loved and to nurture and teach each other in small groups, and gain wisdom—and part of that is by talking and relating to other people, and discussing and reading the Great Books of the Ages.

I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in CS Lewis’s debates with his buddies which included J.R.R. Tolkien, or a GK Chesterton event, or in the rooms with the Founding Fathers when they were arguing about the future of America. What robust, alive, invigorating, intellectual events. So many of the so-called “intellectuals” today have such vapid, irrational brains—unable to think like a Jefferson. Maybe a few—like D’Souza or Dr. Berlinski or Dr. Ken Ham, but they get so vilified and denigrated by the universities/so-called “intellectuals” of our time.

Tocqueville noted the robust discussions in early America even by “simple” farmers—about important, profound subjects and most people only had four years of “education” if that-—but WHAT an education-—REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES and learning REAL LIFE SKILLS and a DESIRE to learn, (to Know) which built true self esteem and healthy bodies.

5 Guys is my favorite burger joint. Fresh FF, great burger and in the shell peanuts that are FREE. They even have a non soda option...lemonade. They have never gotten my order wrong, and the service is fast as a burger can cook.
