Robots and dreams
I was thinking about dictatorial regimes. One ruled over by robots could be scarier than one by humans. Not just because the robots are presumably powerfully cool, but because I would be afraid that robots, no matter how well designed, could get "stuck". Whereas humans always have a chance to rebel against a political system eventually.
I had a restless dream that my parents had taken my family in and out between two almost identical dimensions for my whole life. I noticed that the rug in the sewing room was different than it usually was - so they spoke the truth! I was initially quite livid: what if things weren't the same between the worlds? I would be assuming I had some relationship or history with people and would act on that assumption, perhaps beeing too familiar with someone I had no basis to act that way with.
Isn' t the better question what happened to the "other" my family? Were we trading? Why?
