Today I take a moment to celebrate the privilege of living in the United States of America. As an individual who was born in a 3rd world country (Philippines) and immigrated here at a very young age, I was afforded an incredible wealth of support from the USA’s social safety net. Subsidized housing, food stamps, community college, college grants, free lunch, the list goes on, but you get the idea.
246 years ago, our founding fathers declared that we are no longer subject to the rule of the Monarch of Britain, King George the 3rd, and that we are now united, free, and independent. Under the premise for future of freedom, the right to own property, and a better union, let’s celebrate my always and forever MVP, the United States of America!
I must admit, this 246-year-long social experiment called Democracy is heading towards a dangerous path that as an American I must call out. The leader of the charge? Technology. We are embarking on a journey of robotic and artificial intelligence automation, when deployed, cannot be rolled back
This is the 3rd industrial revolution.
