CR 938: Merciless Robot Armies and the Unstoppable Great Calamity: A Special Prediction from 1947 11th of December 1947, Niederflachs 1253, Bülach, Edi Meier, 10 years old It will inevitably come to pass – according to the Christian calendar – that at the end of this present second millennium, and indeed as early as 50 years before the transition to the third millennium, the development of electrical and technical -electronic development – which will bring harm and disaster to the vastly proliferating population of Earth-humans as early as the first third of the first century of the third millennium – will inevitably come to pass. Electronics physicists, as Sfath calls them, and other inventors in the fields of technology and electronics – as this field will come to be known – will in the future turn their attention particularly to the rapidly developing field of electronics, which will result in an immense number of electronic inventions being produced as early as the beginning of the new first decade of the third millennium, and continuing into the third decade and the following period of the century. This electronic technology, some of which will prove very useful to human beings in their daily lives, will ultimately lead, through many who are obsessed with electronics and other inventors, to further developments in machines that were already referred to as ‘robots’ by two brothers as early as 1920, before they had actually been correctly invented. One of the brothers was a writer, and the term ‘robot’ was coined from the Czech language, specifically from the word ‘robota’, which roughly means ‘hard labour’. And these machines, or robots, which will be manufactured in the future, will unfortunately very quickly be produced for military purposes due to irrationality and belligerence on the part of human beings, and will be used devastatingly for murder and destruction. On the other hand, however, they will also cause havoc, in some cases in the private sector and through terrorist activities, and will become autonomous and dangerous in this regard. In any case, they will be put to a wide range of absurd uses and will become extremely dangerous for humanity. This will be all the more true once this electronic technology has progressed beyond the initial stage of purely mechanical and then beyond following electronic robotics, evolving into gynoid robotics – which will, however, come to be known as android robotics and androidism. This entirely new electronic technology will then, on a very large scale in the third decade of the new millennium, trigger a growing and full-blown frenzy of electronic development, which countless human beings will latch onto. In the process – as Sfath’s and my precise predictions, based on inner vision and personal experience, will prove – an utterly irrational, exuberant and completely uncontrolled enthusiasm will be aroused; and, as a result of utter irresponsibility, it will be regarded as progressive and forward-looking. This is how it will all begin in just a few years’ time, and continue…
