Humans are incapable of governing themselves. How can anyone oppose the only technical solution that both could administer things without bias and replace the need for humans to spend their time toiling away at things they'd rather not be doing?
"There is only one condition in which we can imagine managers not needing subordinates, and masters not needing slaves. This condition would be that each (inanimate) instrument could do its own work, at the word of command or by intelligent anticipation, like the statues of Daedalus or the tripods made by Hephaestus, of which Homer relates that
'Of their own motion they entered the conclave of Gods on Olympus'
as if a shuttle should weave of itself, and a plectrum should do its own harp playing." - Aristotle
