The Futurist

The Futurist - by C-Section Comics

Halloween, a time to scare
all your neighbors, if you dare.
Witch or ghost – hey what are you?
I’m a Futurist bro, BOO!

I have natural tendencies
for apocalyptic prophecies.
Climate change, Global warming
A nuclear holocaust is forming,
Man becoming obsolete
Robots taking over – shit.
Hey, whatever can go wrong
will go wrong, so play along.

Time goes on, and this implies
that everything eventually dies,
so don’t fall into self deception:
Humankind is no exception.
Even though it seems unjust –
it’s ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Yes, the futurist costume is based on Professor Yuval Noah Harari. Those who know me personally know that I’m a big fan of Prof. Harari. I’ve read all of his books (three to date), and enjoyed his unique interpretation of our past, our present, and our future.

Go read his books, before the robots take over.

Here’s another comic about robots and artificial intelligence.

They’re Just like Us

Just Like Us / by C-Section Comics

Robots will replace us all,
I think it’s pretty clear.
They are stronger, smarter, better,
and way more sincere.

They don’t need no food or sleep,
no paid leave or lunch breaks.
They don’t need no smoking zones,
they have what it takes
to make us obsolete one day
and to take our place.
(The truth is hard to hear but I’ll still
shove it in your face.)

Why are we not stopping this?
Because we’re humans, really.
We don’t think that far ahead,
hey, “carpe diem”, silly!

So robots will replace us
and they’ll either kill us all,
or put us in a human zoo
(I think it’s called a “mall”).

They’re just like us, but they have their limits – here’s one, in this comic about robots and AI.
