        According to latest insights:
        1. The universe is not a sphere.
        2. The universe expands as soon as matter (or antimatter???) spreads outward.
        3. I believe that if God is doing this, He must be doing it on other tactically unimportant places in the universe at the same time. Wouldn't be fair, otherwise.
        4. We stand a decent shot of finding some Good Allies in the bladiebla cluster. (that big one next to us)
        5. We are not being threatened in any way.
        6. I've brokered a deal with The Voices In My Head about doing 'spring annihilation' as a resource and developme
nt game on the back of the moon, basically the ultimate form of gambling and having fun with your new robots.
                ABSOLUTELY COMPULSARY!
                        * robots must have centralized brain, always neutral ground. Holy ground in fact.
                        * robots must feel no pain in battle
                        * robots must have, when in battle session, always a new body to their disposal in *about* 10 mi
nutes. In those 10 minutes, they should have FULL and I repeat FULL access to what is happening in the battle. They need
 to know what is going on.
                        * robots must have the option of 'retiring from battle' at ANY time.
                        * robots must have compulsary 'spiritual, social, historic, and artistic spending of their time'
.
                        * robots who desire to be warriors will be treated by giving them bodies that match the trust th
at their Commanding Officer gives them.
                        * Commanding Officer (human) will ALWAYS be able to disconnect a robotic conciousness from any b
ody it 'posesses'.
                        * Robots Lease their body. If they obey the law of the land, they are rewared with the same kind
 of respect that a normal human enjoys.
                        * I predict that robots will want skins.
                        * I predict that humans will want robotic parts implanted in their bodies.
                        * I predict that humans and robots will unite against any common enemy.
                        * I ask of humanity that they consider robots as their soulbrothers and sisters, not as their pe
ts.
