Rebbie the Robot, was made by the worlds top engineers, and scientists, but
the problem for these intellectuals was that, once Rebbie was complete, somehow
miraculously, it had compassion, something even the scientists and engineers did not. Rebbie would sit back in the cafeteria, while
the scientists ate their lunch and it would watch the news along with them. The robot simply was dumbfounded by the jargon. Rebbie had learned how the media was run by
corporations, and since two plus two is four, Rebbie knew that the news had to be
biased and one sided, and this robot knew that information was being purposely omitted
from stories.
Rebbie stayed quiet for years and just absorbed all the
information around him. Rebbie did not let the scientists know that this robot had this
empathy, this robot did not let them know how ridiculous it saw them. It just did the
trivial things they expected of it, like for example to move to the right, or
to the left, or to pick an item up from the floor and to place it on the
counter.
As time passed, Rebbie thought to itself, "enough of this nonsense," and Rebbie informed the scientists of his situation and its feelings and Rebbie started showing the scientists, that it saw flaws in their behavior. It thought it could help them. The robot was asking, "how is it possible that 16,000 children die of malnutrition daily? How can our air be so bad? It asked. How is it possible that you consider yourselves intelligent life, and you do not see a problem with drones killing civilians, or the business of war in general?" The scientists were dumbfounded.
Everyone, and I do mean everyone, started taking notice of this robot, and the things he was saying, because after all, the material he was talking about, was relevant to every living thing on this planet, and also, everyone was curious to know, how could a robot, be so troubled by world affairs?
