| Post subject: | Eugene Oregon Presentation on Robotic Warfare, 4/12 @ 7pm |
.Challenging Robotic Warfare & Social Control April 12 (Monday) at 7pm, Harris Hall downtown Eugene. Free and open to the public, donations towards traveling expenses welcome. I highly recommend that people attend this presentation if possible. The issue of Robotic Warfare and the implications on humanity are a deeply troubling matter. If you can't make it, I'll be video taping the presentation and posting it the next day on my Vimeo channel here: http://www.vimeo.com/user2003982/videos This presentation is happening just a few days before a Conference on Robotic Warfare, the nations first such regional gathering to discuss what I view as a deeply disturbing trend, one that dehumanizes humanity by eliminating mercy, compassion and remorse from the act of killing, regardless of whether such killing is sponsored by state or corporation. Please join us, and help stop this.
