The Mindless Drone Factory

Mindless drone factories are everywhere these days. They start with numerous pieces of clay that have been partially shaped by their environments as well as their suppliers. Each piece of clay is sent down the production line where each factory worker does his or her part to build mindless drones suitable for their customers.

Each of these pieces of clay has been shipped with a processor that can be utilized to perform a specific function. These processors are shipped to the factories with at least some existing programming. Since this programming can be detrimental to the final product, factory workers try to eliminate or quarantine the original functions.

When the processor is embedded into the clay, a robotic being will form that will do whatever it was programmed to do. Unfortunately, not all robots meet requirements within a small range for tolerance. These robots are labeled as rejects and are then trashed to prevent them from ever reaching their customers.

Most robots meet the demands of the factories, but the standards have to be reduced due to a significant flaw in their industry. The clay and processors that the factories are provided with are highly variable. The same programming does not function the same way on every processor, and some processors do not function properly when left idle for extended periods of times. Any processor that needs to remain active will be destined for the reject bin.

In many situations, the processor that fails to meet the factory workers’ demands can outperform the processors that end up in the finished products. It really is a shame that we throw them away. According to the mindless drone factories, I should probably ease up. They have made it clear that these robots are not people.

These factories have essentially created a monopoly on the drones used by just about every business in America. Since businesses are so used to them, they are not willing to take chances on any drone that has not been certified mindless. This has prevented superior products from emerging.

In recent years, the mindless drone factories have increasingly insisted that suppliers should be responsible for ensuring that all materials sent comply to strict standards. When these materials show too much variability, they try to hold the suppliers accountable.

The monopoly being held by the mindless drone factories needs to be broken up. The products that they manufacture are usually inferior to the raw materials that they receive. I have seen signs that naturally developed products can exceed the value of mindless drones. At the very least, we need to be able to try out alternatives to see if they could benefit society. Perhaps a boycott should be in order.
