One
told me: “If there are no specialists to solve problems in mining and mineral
processing, then they can be taught.”
I
replied: “No, this is a bad idea! If there are no specialists, then there
is no one to teach.
We
will analyze this situation. Suppose we live on an island with cars, but no one
can drive. Who will teach me how to ride? No one.
So
I have to figure out the cars myself, learn to drive, draw up a set of
rules and laws, spend many years. Everything, I can ride!
Others also want to ride like me.
What should I do? To teach them to ride? Not!
People are very lazy, they do not want to learn, they do everything badly.
They forget everything.
I will
not spend my time and nerves for decades driving knowledge of the processing of
minerals into the cast-iron heads of the provincials (I don’t want to offend
anyone - I myself am from the provinces), because the metropolitan elite does
not like to knead mud.
Children from high society (beau monde) have a better education and better abilities but they study in more prestigious and monetary professions (lawyers, financiers, managers) and do not choose mining and processing of
minerals.
I have an alternative. I will teach the robot,
artificial intelligence.
He
will not tell me that I have too many ideas, and that he does not want to
study, he has a day off and so on. He will learn and remember everything as I
said, he will become almost the Second Ph.D. Natalya Petrovskaya.
Now thousands of robots drive cars well, and people
enjoy the fruits of my labors.
You
suggested that I make people do what they don’t want — to learn. Do you think
they will say thanks to me for this? No, they will hate me for the rest of
their lives as a strict teacher.
And I propose, let people do what they like, and I will do this hard and
difficult work myself with the machines.”
