Jodie Foster Is ‘Much More Comfortable Having Robots’ Own Guns
Breitbart ^ | June 8, 2018 | Awk Hawkins

Hollywood actress Jodie Foster said she would be “much more comfortable having robots” own a gun than an emotional human doing so.

“I mean, I’d be much more comfortable having robots have them, but we are designed to have emotions that overflow and that are not guided by our heads,” the Hannibal star said in a recent interview with Indie Wire.

“To have sentient beings that are completely and entirely guided by their emotions have the power to administer life or death using one kilowatt of energy in a nanosecond is just unfathomable with me,” Foster added.

Robots do not have unalienable rights. The Second Amendment is for sentient, sapient persons, regardless of Jodie Foster’s comfort level.

I am more comfortable having religious conservatives having guns.

“To have sentient beings that are completely and entirely guided by their emotions have the power to administer life or death using one kilowatt of energy in a nanosecond is just unfathomable with me,” Foster added.

It is unfathomable to me that someone who doesn't understand that a kW is a unit of power, not energy, and that even a beam of light travels only about one foot in one nanosecond could have the audacity to make a public proclamation like this.

(Also, that 1 kWh of energy is about 3.6 megajoules, and a typical long gun might have a muzzle energy of perhaps 200 joules - i.e., orders of magnitude less.)

Invoking the Dunn-Kruger Effect, I suppose.

Regards,

She wants to be at the mercy of a faceless programmer who is at no physical risk.

Jodie is also more comfortable with Energizer batteries than Duracell

Finger tight on the trigger -- and the muzzle is pointed about 20 degrees from where her eyes are looking.

I agree she should not own a gun; she has s lousy gun control.

Why don’t we make Jodie Foster the head of everything.

Because there's still Hogg and DeNiro who want that title........
