The dire projections for the future seem based on evolution of a traditional human society where demand for the goods of life always exceeds
production capacity. Hence social organization must take the form of competition for perpetually scarce goods. The strongest, most cunning, ruthless, and luckiest, wind up with abundance, while all the rest are doomed to slave to support the privileged class and struggle in squalor to survive. The short, nasty, indeterminate human lifespan argues for immediate self-indulgence and not for long-term trans-generational capital and institutional investments that might increase production and reduce the squalor.

But electronic intelligence promises to turn the traditional production shortage on its head. Already, with very little electronic intelligence implemented, humanity’s capacity to produce
the goods of life far exceeds its consumptive requirements. The cynical dark side doctrine, “I’ve got mine, and the devil can take the hindmost,” is no longer rational. With each passing year, electronic intelligence increases and so does production. So dark side doctrines of abusive exploitation will become increasingly useless and outdated.

AI robots will change entirely the traditional ethical balance of economic philosophy. To stride
casually into a new golden age of universal prosperity and security, all humanity has to do is to avoid nuclear war and regulate its numbers.

Best I can make out, electronic intelligence along with AI/human mind meld, and the explosion of production they must bring, seems to play no significant role in the Zamora Texts philosophic underpinnings. But that is like saying the philosophic underpinnings discount Newton’s universal laws of motion. The Zamora Texts are highly speculative. For most purposes, Newton’s laws of motion are well proven to about 8 decimal places of precision. My money is on Newton.
