I think this is very dangerous. There seems to be some trade off that when intelligence reaches a certain level like it does with humans, insanity goes along with it. The majority of people in this world are completely out of their minds, it’s how Obama was elected twice, why the world doesn’t come down hard on radical Islam, why people push communism even though they know the history of it. So when computers reach that level of intelligence are they going to be insane as well? I mean just imagine an all powerful computer with the logic of Nancy Pelosi. Will it declare itself “The most powerful woman in the woooorld” and demand it’s own Air Force 1? Will it think Obama is the almighty and that white people must accept black beatdowns or be called racist if they defend themselves?

Well it was the Erudites (intellectuals) in Divergence that tried to wipe out the other factions using a powerful neurotransmitter type drug to take control of the Dauntless (soldiers / LEOs) and kill the others. Their is a lot of truth in that movie in the form of metaphors. One is intellectuals always seem to cause trouble in societies because their downfall is pride and arrogance and they think their knowledge makes them superior to others. The problems start when they start dictating how others are to think and live according to their rules. History has proven it time and time again. The problem is technology has grown so that now it is a dangerous and favored tool of theirs.
