#492 Life as a pool table - part 15

Closing remarks

During this fifteen part series, of which this is the last part, I have attempted to describe an imaginable sequence of events that tell a story about the development of a population of robots from some balls of dust.

I feel as though they have now reached a point where any further development would be either difficult or irrelevant. However I would be happy to respond to any questions about the series.

One question could be whether I think there's any truth in the story. I like to claim that I try not to hold any beliefs. That claim could probably be debated by those who know me and I generally enjoy participating in such debates. 

I do think that with an open-mind, a person can see some truth... and some untruth... in just about anything.

Now that your robots have become so human, like all cycles, I think they’ll go on to invent their own robots to do the dirty work:)
Smart or unsmart?

I think there’s truth in every story and that truth is as underrated as it’s over valued.

Yeah, keeping the door to the mind open is all good. I’ve nailed a reminder notice to mine, but if I haven’t got my glasses on.......:(

Bon Voyage Robots, it’s been a very interesting journey!

Kudos to you Dan. Brilliant!!!

Cheers.

I want to combine the parts, polish it up a bit and put it on Medium. At some stage.

Is there anything you would change? Do you feel like it ended in an OK place?

I don't think the pool table title works because it quickly gets lost. I'll probably call it "From balls of dust, an evolutionary story", or something.

Very good idea. It’s definitely worth a wider airing!

At no stage did I think ‘I’d change that,’ so my only response can be, no:)

The ending felt exactly where it should be to me.

‘Balls of dust’ are a must, and ‘the evolutionary story’ is a perfect explanation.

Happy honing and pondering:)

Thanks :)

It's so cool that you liked it. I'm still waiting for Hetal to read it.
