Men and women are not that fundamentally different. Fundamentally, both sexes need satisfaction, security, a profession, and to be loved. However, this is where the difference arises: how the two sexes approach accomplishing those goals. Typically, males construct civilization, while women sustain and nurture it. I recognize that I am speaking in generalities; there are exceptions. When you compare men's and women's bodies, you'll see that males are larger and have greater muscle mass which makes them physically stronger. When it comes to constructing, strength is key. Women's bodies are designed to carry and feed a child, which makes them natural homemakers. Both construction and homesteading are required for a community to thrive.
However, in an age of automation and artificial intelligence, planning and construction will be mechanized in the same way that automotive assembly is now. Many gender-specific vocations will be replaced by computers and robots that can operate quicker and more precisely than humans. Even "women's work" such as food preparation and housework will be cheerfully delegated to robots. How will society adapt if humanity's social roles are drastically transformed or rendered obsolete?
People identify themselves by what they do. When asked, "What do you do?" you answer with your job title: "I am a carpenter," or "I work at a dentist's office and am a part-time mom." Occupational responses provide a wealth of information on a person's role in society, including their economic status and role within the family. But what happens when a person's role is no longer defined by a specific task? Robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are task-oriented technologies. They are programmed to look for issues and give solutions. They resemble the search and rescue crew. They can outthink and outmaneuver humans in some situations. For example, automating warehouses has increased output while decreasing accidents and improving efficiency. What used to take ten people to do now just requires one robot. As firms aim to enhance revenues, automation becomes an unavoidable reality.
The consequences of being replaced by AI will inevitably lead to a loss of identity. When essential, fundamental identity is lost, humans desire to cling to something. An idea, a leader, a religion--something that feels solid and appears "in control." Insecure individuals feel in control when powerful leaders flex their powers for the sake of the world. This display of power seems comforting and reasonable when everything else is getting hazy and uncertain. Much like the military will attract young men who have yet to discover their way in life, strong direction attracts males since society has sent the message that weak men will be kicked around.
During uncertain and fluctuating times, leaders emerge and assume an authoritarian role. They are accepted at a time when normalcy has been endangered. Be cautious of the larger-than-life characters. Understand that they, too, are insecure; they just disguise it better. They are more deceitful, dishonest, and vicious than most people. They are the "superman," the powerful man who constantly reassures you that he alone is correct. The powerful daddy-types will bluster and bluff their way to the top, then recruit those who will cover for them.
When you observe a dominant power on the global stage, be wary. He rose to prominence because he wanted to be someone significant, and he needed to be in charge. Unconsciously, his subjects desire to be dominated. This artificial control offers the population a false sense of success since they are linked with a leader who appears to be succeeding. However, every authoritarian tyrant harbors a deep-seated sense of insecurity. Explaining this to the insecure sheep is a waste of time. They will only raise their flags and caps higher because they fear something worse than fascism: they fear losing their place, status, and stature, which they are unwilling to give up.
What will halt fascism? Diplomacy never has. Attempting to argue with them will just aggravate them. Making fun of their ignorance has never worked since it is a deliberate ignorance. History demonstrates that the only known cure for an authoritarian system is to physically battle and defeat it. This has taken a league of countries and resulted in the loss of innocent lives as well as the destruction of treasured artifacts and national treasures. Once a tyrant has been entrenched, removing him may practically destroy everyone. So don't be deceived by the bull charging at the matador. Do not be fooled by the crowds screaming for blood. Because in the end, the big, scary bull will fall to its knees when it is pierced by a sword, just like the rest of us. Fascism is a passing fad. Humanity must undoubtedly discover a better method to remake itself in this new age of technology and loss of traditional identity. How is it going to go? That is up to you.
With Love,
