Replace slaves with robots and machines, and that's pretty much the world I'd like to live on. Maybe Platonic state is not that far away after all.

- knodi123 13y agoInteresting aside: The word "robot" comes from slavic "robota", meaning drudge work that a serf is forced to perform for his lord. It's funny that the word has evolved to mean "something which frees us from drudge work" instead. And "slave" came from "Slav", referring to a member of the slavic people, who in ancient times were frequently taken as slaves. I love etymology.
