Because, for the most part, what they know is anatomy and surgery, and so they tend to see surgery as the best option. They're also more full of themselves than other doctors. The history of spinal surgery, in particular, is replete with all sorts of disastrous operations.

OK, so _he_ sounds like a _good_ surgeon :) And yes, we are very complicated machines. But fortunately, we're also amazingly good at self-repairing. Although it can take a _long_ time :( Be well <3

In this specific moment, your answer will probably be very interesting for me. Do you appreciate or, at least, trust doctors in general or not? Some specifically medical area?

There is not much difference between a US cop and an android now... same zombie, fanatic I guess... yeah... with police robots will be much better indeed :-) This will solve all issue.

Re: communicating with police officers, narratives, discrimination
Many of the problems of police enforcement, especially unwarranted violence, cannot be solved until the human officers are replaced by androids. The almost universal reason for excessive violence are unfit officers and the officer's fear of injury or death. When this is no longer a factor there is no longer a reason for this violence.

Hey Karl, do you see the fundamental division being created by those deep behind the BLM movement, that it is actually an anti-White movement? If you can acknowledge that there really are two sides to the movement, and certain specific problems within the movement, then there would be scope for discussion. A recent book published is a classic example which highlights certain of these problems, just like the "cop watch" thing, most efforts by the naieve, tend strongly to create the very schism they proclaim to oppose [links in original]: Universities Across America Want Students To Read This Book. We Did It For You... Maria Copeland via CampusReform.org, https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=15249 https://www.zerohedge.com/political/universities-across-america-want-students-read-book-we-did-it-you Amid a nationwide call for anti-racist education, White Fragilityby Robin DiAngelo has gained massive popularity and university endorsement. The book, which shot to the top of best-seller lists following the death of George Floyd and subsequent widespread movements, has been highlighted on recommended reading lists by universities nationwide, including Ivy League schools such as Cornell, Harvard, and Yale. Campus Reform decided to find out why. The angle that sets this book apart from similar texts is likely its development of “white fragility” as the catalyst of all racial conflict. White fragility, according to DiAngelo, is a phenomenon that occurs when people of color confront white people on race-related issues. Categorically, white people will react with “a range of defensive responses,” which include “emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and withdrawal from the stress-inducing situation” and which “work to reinstate white equilibrium as they repel the challenge, return our racial comfort, and maintain our dominance within the racial hierarchy.” This behavior, DiAngelo clarifies, “is born of superiority and entitlement. White fragility is not weakness per se. In fact, it is a powerful means of white racial control and the protection of white advantage.” Essentially, she argues that white people’s distaste for racial confrontation is responsible for perpetuating white supremacy. Additionally, DiAngelo recognizes that white people do not like to be classified at large under a broad category, and she predicts throughout the text that white readers will reject her arguments because of this sensitivity, which is a tendency that they must simply learn to overcome. DiAngelo makes the case that “racism is deeply embedded in the fabric of our society,” saying that all racist acts stem from institutional racism. This means that “only whites can be racist” because “in the United States, only whites have the collective social and institutional power and privilege over people of color.” She acknowledges the occurrence of individual racist acts, but says such actions are “part of a larger system of interlocking dynamics.” Consequently, according to her standards, racism is a behavior unique to white people that cannot be demonstrated by people of color. Not only have all white people demonstrated racism, DiAngelo says, but they are doomed to do so indefinitely. She suggests that there is no way for white people to grow up without being racist, because white parents cannot raise their children in such a way that they do not benefit from and perpetuate racism in America. Not only that, but white parents cannot teach their children not to be racially prejudiced, and if they train their children not to express racism verbally, they are only teaching censorship. Further, she suggests, race always influences a situation, so there is nothing coincidental about the color of someone’s skin and any conflict in which they are involved: “On some level, race is always at play, even in its supposed absence.” Another concept DiAngelo redefines is that of white supremacy. “White supremacy describes the culture we live in, a culture that positions white people and all that is associated with them (whiteness) as ideal. White supremacy is more than the idea that whites are superior to people of color; it is the deeper premise that supports this idea—the definition of whites as the norm or standard for human, and people of color as a deviation from that norm.” Under this description -- which neglects to acknowledge the impact of its traditional connotations, such as ties to the KKK -- all white behavior can be categorized as not only racist but also as white supremacist. No one likes to be broadly categorized, but the
