Japan is on the cutting edge of the rush to replace humans with robots. We see it everyday in the USA. For example, Entra-manure Elon Musk has relaced Donald Trump with a life-like puppet he controls. But the Japanese are making driverless machines a reality, not screaming missles of death like Musk’s self-driving cars.
But we have to draw the line somewhere, even in Japan. If I go into a sushinbar and R2D2 is preparing fresh Fugu, a delicatly delicious fish known for its Tetrodotoxin, a poison more potent than syanide or arsenic that makes eating it a real adventure, I think I’ll pass and order the safe make-believe sushi in America; the one that you will never see in Japan; the ubiquitous “California Roll.” Yum!
