It's all the same; from using windmill or waterwheels to spin gears and cogs to function a mechanism out of torque and RPM, to using fossil fuels to spin turbines to power generators for electricity, to powering robots to do our factory works, and then to digital algorithms like AI to do works for us.
Automation will always be automation, if it automates the work for us. Nothing is ever new about it.
Many of us humans have been claiming each's religions as "true and one" for quite a long time, even going for saying that "ours is peaceful". But what it is seen, is just the same thing all over again, even in ancient times when people used to: burn others into a bonfire as sacrifice to appease "Gods", wage wars over the non-religious or those of different faiths apart from theirs — all in the names of their "Gods", using "religion" as political tools to control the mass, gathering and marrying more than one woman or maybe use them in temples for "pleasure rituals" or even take some by force, and finally, terrorisms.
Today they're still the same — nothing changes, nothing is ever righteous, nothing is pure, and nothing is and will ever be "peaceful".
What's all of the worship for anyway? Why preach peace, in blood, greed, propaganda, and lust?
Perhaps religion is only good for three things: separations, desires, and unjust hierarchies.
Think about it: in order to chop a tree down you need tools, so our ancestors break rocks and cut off trees or their parts for axe heads and then handles.
But this is where it gets exploitative: cars are nothing without fuel, so we hope for algae to die and become oil so we can use their corpses to run engines; the more we mine ores from the crust the more we can make newer technologies with them, but what happens after we've dug the whole planet?
To make matters worse: look at the trees; we only grow them for materials like paper and wood for houses and tools, but also money — trees are nothing but currencies to us, and we kill them for progress and greed.
And to make this a nightmare: human suffering during wars also fuels profits too; governments buy weapons to take more lives with them while those producing them gets richer and richer — and nobody cared because they either need or want money.
And let's make this hell: Ever since AI was brought into this world, humanity worked for their productions and automated efficiencies to make work easier, but in the end, what about us? The ones who've made them? Soon of this keeps up, robots will replace us all until we're looked at nothing more than inferior delicate beings to them.
