People worry about robots stealing jobs.
Let me explain why this is hilarious.
We are expressions of our genes, which are an expression of our environment.
The genes of the beings around us affect our environment too, but because they are also expressions of the environment, it's all about the environment.
Robots interact with their environment through programs - software running on hardware.
In a very real sense we are programs running on our genes - particular permutations of all possible expressions.
We are to genes as a dance is to us.
Epiphany is to revelation as we are to the idea of us.
