Sorry with the robot theory doesn't make logical sense... Your neglecting the practical part of robots... Put yourself into the skin of new arriving
species that are new to an environment hostile to them. Although they're technology is very advanced they still have limited storage capabilities due
in part that their "storage capability are to be used to store gold" you don't create an army of robots out of thin air you need material... metals
and such... so what are you gonna do??? start digging for metals so you can create robot that are then going to dig gold for you... LOL...
They surely don't have the capability to just chemically or by any other process to create metals hence im sure "gold" would of been the first on
their priority list... And they would of never come here in first place...Robots will still require maintenance at some level, they can break and so
on... soooo........
PLAN B!
If you are intelligent for five cents you'll use biological entities already available at hand... modify them to do the job... Not only they are
self-duplicating they "regenerate" at a certain level... They are self sufficient!... from there all you need to do is adjust their reproduction
speed to a favorable level not to end up out numbered. Make them just intelligent enough to be able to obey but not enough to think about revolting
against your new found masters... And likely to prevent any rebellion you might want to tell them your god almighty even though its completely
false... and that you'll destroy everything if they don't cooperate or ask to many question...
At whatever level Icke, Terra papers, Credo Mutwa and so many other cultures talking about a "snake race coming from the stars" can be true or
not... Man's addiction for gold is TRUE and comes from somewhere... and I "DO NOT!" A second believe that 10 000 years ago where survival was the
word of the day. That some prehistorical dude just woke up... scratch his balls look around and finds a gold rock and starts a new religion... on a
survival based culture gold is literally useless... its yellow... shinny okay... but its weak... cannot be sharpen it as a matter of fact its the last
thing i'd use to kill my 15000 pound mammoth breakfast... You'd scratch his back with it more than you'd break his skin... Iron/Bronze any other
"useful" that are easier to find back then would of rendered gold obsolete YET it still made it... HOW?
Even today as an example... If somehow # really hits the fan and it starts raining nukes and your stuck in ur house in survival mode trying to protect
your wife and kid and starting at your food supply diminishing and some moron knocks at your door and offers you a gold brick for 1/4 of your goods...
You'll tell him to F*** off... What do you want to do with a weak, piss colored metal when your hungry as hell??? Maybe melt it in a ball and use it
to knock the crap out of a rabbit??? Even there i'd use rocks... its "more practical" hehe
History as though us that up till recent era starving people resolved to kill other people in their direct surrounding and practice cannibalism to
survive it happened during WW2 and it happened to a ship lost at sea who killed an ate a young mate to survive...
And yet! Gold nearly attained a level of near holiness... IT did for some people but as they say small things amuses small minds... The only
practical use for gold I ever could come up with for people living 10 000 years ago could of find a use for was aesthetical in nature and even
there...
back then I would of used metal to fashion a blade and shave my half gorilla lady way before I put a gold necklace around her neck.... j/k ladies
To sum it up... there's a reason why through mankind's entire history gold was at the top of the fantasy/greed chain but why???
No one as the answer...
