Machines can safely replace human labor for benefiting humans, but machines should never make opinions for humans. Choices affecting people are as wise or good as the number of people making the choices. We all see only with out own eyes and hear only with our own ears only what we want and chose to see and hear. The more eyes and ears there are to see and hear, the better we can see and hear. There is a big difference between theory and practice. Every one`s opinion, whether based on theory or practice has value. The best situation for making choices are to involve everyone who is affected by them. The best technology for this up to the present is the internet. Everyone should be able to make his voice heard. With the internet, we can have a Just-In-Time form of direct democracy that can continually take the pulse of humanity and act on that accordingly. People should not need to argue their point of view to be listened to. They just need to register their opinions and their feelings for all to share and learn from. We need to hear from everyone, not only from academics, intellectual theorists and the religious believers. Sometimes the silent fool on the hill has wisdom shouting at us. We should listen. .
