The Good Reverend Roger

August 23, 2012, 01:32:19 AM
One of the plants I was visiting is a metal shop.  Or so they said.  I saw no welding fumes, no filth and grit all over everything.

But what I did see was a mammoth autofabricator, the great-grandson of the CNC lathe.   You stock up the 3 stories-tall bins, download the print into it from a laptop, and off it goes.  It doesn't weld metal...It laser-fuses it with 100% penetration, a perfect fucking weld every time.  Fucker sneers at exotic metals, plastic, everything.  COMPLETE PRODUCT, NO STEPS.

Ross, their resident mad scientist, was showing me around, and I just sort of stood there going "eeeeeeeeee".  He said he knew exactly what I mean.

Yes, I know that this is how Skynet starts.

I don't care.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

Interesting guy, the owner.  He's a member of some weird cult that worships some 2000 year old dead guy, and is required by this dead guy to treat his employees like human beings, perform civic deeds, and never knowingly do harm to anyone else in any way.

I wish there was a religion like that which was more widespread.

The lasers...they started from the mind, went into orbit, then bombarded back down into from what I am imagining now, perfection!

I wish to attach an AI to it, along with military programming. For research of course.
I thought this is all there is,
but now I know you are so much more.
I want to upgrade from my simple eight bits,
but will you still love me when I'm sixty-four?

Keep your war shit away from my baby.  I love her, and she loves me.

Just for a moment, I had walked into the future.  The REAL future.  The fucking KICK ASS future that involves interstellar travel and robots doing the shit work.

Then I went back to my hotel and ate something that looked kind of like food, served up by a desperately poor woman.

It'll never catch on.  Not everyone has fucking lazer gods to distract them from all that boring lovey crap so they need good regular doses of hellfire and brimstone to keep them interested.

EoC, you are the bane of my existence.

EoC doesn't make creepy.

:cry:

The crew there, and the owner, they're making the future.  You can see it on their faces.  It was the first crew I've seen where EVERYONE smiled REAL smiles while they worked.  You could feel the energy in the place, you know?

And Don - the owner - was a really nice guy, despite his strange and un-American beliefs.  He built this big pond out back, and every week he goes back and gets in this silly little boat, drinks a lot of booze, and talks to Jesus all night.  Then he sobers up and gets back to funding veterans groups, battered women's shelters, soup kitchens, and shit like that.

And I have to go back to the real world tomorrow.  I could cry.

Not me.  I drink with Jesus down at the Hotel Congress occasionally, and he won't put up with that shit.

The shop even had a real cafeteria, with a full time cooking staff and everything.

WHERE AM I?
