Our bodies are just boxes that contain our minds and souls, so it wasn't philosophically wrong.

From the Asimov Laws of Robotics standpoint, yes, it's very much wrong.

Are you being cynical about the schools of philosophy or do you actually understand it? The doctrine that people are just atoms and space, organised in random ways with no inherent meaning - so we'll suspend all judgement and leave it to the schools of philosophy!

We've heard of animals, not rocks and plants... yet.

Example: National Socialist Nazi and International Socialist Communist are both socialism. As long as the schools of philosophy spell out what makes a 'better world', it doesn't matter! If you challenge this they use circular arguments that encourage you to accept that something about you, thoughts or whatever, is the same as animals. They don't answer your question.

They are aged 40 before they have a real job, the income makes up for the lost income in all those decades, find they have to tell fibs to the young or they can be unemployed and start again - they're locked in that way.

All the academic attention to studying Hitler and, to a lesser extent, Stalin, particularly in the last century, was to work out what went wrong.

Solution: close the schools of philosophy and divide the money amongst the other faculties.
