Headlines with a Brain EP5 "Anunnaki Miner Replacement: Tools vs Meat"

Host: Gerald Clark

Sept 12, 2019

Welcome to Episode 5 of Headlines with a Brain, its Gerald Clark your host today as we take a look at the Anunnaki historical decision to use either biological workers or tools in the ancient gold mines.

Gold prices are at new highs at over $1500 USD per ounce currently, and the mining corporations are under pressure to produce gold, again. The same question is relevant in today's world as well so both will be examined in this report: which is better, autonomous or human-in-the-loop controlled technical machinery (like robots) and tools or biological workers for mining? We will assume the ancient history biological workers mentioned in the Atrahasis had access to primitive tools like shovels and pick axes etc versus more advanced boring machines like we use today.

As described in Sumerian clay tablets, the Igigi miners working in the Abzu or South African gold mines, under hellish conditions, eventually revolted and were replaced by a hybrid primitive worker, us.

Now, imagine for a moment that you were a member of an advanced team of alien colonizers that came to Earth long ago. The team is faced with the pressure from program managers back on the home planet to get the gold resources yesterday, and thus had to consider scaling the operation at some point in the future to meet the mission goals. The 7th Planet Mercury Rising page 47 goes into further discussion of the "Tools vs Slaves" issue we are covering today as it relates to gold mining.

This brings the question to the forefront, should the advanced reconnaissance team use what they have on hand, or make a list of the needed equipment to be immediately transported from the home planet, and take a vacation until it arrives? Given it takes time to verify a resource exists and the quality, minimal equipment would be provided to recon team, just the essentials to then see if there is a future ROI based on their discoveries, usually in detailed report form. Keep your list, show us the money first.

Until that time, it would make more sense to use what you have on hand or on planet to get the work done. Thus, it makes sense that they would opt for biological workers as hybrids until it is time to scale the operation. In the best case, the hybrids can accomplish the task without having to add additional resources like heavy equipment, repair facilities, etc. In all likelyhood, there comes a point in the decision cycle that predicates to what extent primitive workers can be used or more advanced machines are needed. A simple hypothesis would be that simplistic task like digging could be perfomed by primitive (meaning limited intelligence) workers easily enough, whereas comlpex task are better done by machines.

At the onset, the alien colonizers would only have what they were able to transport, which puts a limit on scaling any operation like that of gold mining. Look at modern mining operations to get an idea of the size and scale that is required for machines that dig, process, and extract precious metals as an example. [Video or Pic| The size of the tires alone on the trucks is enormous. How many big machining items would you send initially as part of an exploration advanced party versus a follow-on crew that rotates in knowing what the issues are from their experienced peers. My guess is that the Anunnaki advanced team did not come fully prepared initially to perform the mining operations, except using manual labor which the Atrahasis indicates the Igigi miners provided.

Using technology and machines has both advantages and disadvantages. First, lets look at some of the advantages of using advanced tools (like machinery and robots) versus biological meat slaves in a mining scenario.

TOOL ADVANTAGES
A clear advantage for a functioning machine or advanced tool is that it is much more efficient and reliable than biological labor. Machines do not need to sleep and can be supplied chemical or electric energy which is in abundance. They also do not revolt when overworked, but may break down mechanically due to overuse or normal wear after a lifecycle.

TOOL DISADVANTAGES
Thus, a disadvantage of machines is that they break down, and unless you have the means to repair or replace them onsite, the milestone delivery for that month just took a hit. Imagine the large factories with robots that build cars today. To what extent would the Anunnaki be able to build facilities to manufacture and repair complex machinery at the onset of their colonizing mission to planet Ki? My guess is that it would be very limited based on what the evidence shows in South African ancient mines that we have determined, based on carbon dating from the Anglo American Mining company in a past article indicating the gold mines were over 100,000 years old. Wonder if they found Igigi miner bodies who died in those hellish mines?

One also has to consider that unless the machine is a robot that can dig or mine without an operator in the loop, someone has to control the machine which defeats the scalability point that tools can supply. This is like sending one backhoe a farmer might use in the garden to dig 7 kilometers of underground tunnel a day. Not happening when you consider that a modern tunnel-boring machine can achieve this with a diameter large enough to put a two lane road that fits full-size cargo trucks side-by-side. Thus, to have a scaling change in the mining operation choosing tools, they would need to be autonomous like a robot on a car factory line otherwise more biological bodies would be requried, pushing the decision to a two-stage approach. Robots do complex repetitive tasks well, whereas humans do not.

First, given the restricted capacity for an advanced colonizing team to bring big machines along, they would choose a biological helper instead. Lets look at the advantages and disadvantes for using meat versus tools.

BIOLOGICAL WORKER ADVANTAGES

A huge advantage for choosing biology is that it self-reproduces. As for food sources to sustain them, it can be found in the local area and no chemical processing to produce gasoline or electrical generators is needed. Train the workers to be farmers and they can generate their own food as well, and produce an overage that feeds the Anunnaki colonizers too. In order to manage the birth/death ratio, the focus is to get help fast by growing the population and training them to work with tools in the mines.

So, the mining managers would not worry too much about a rapidly growing population for several reasons. First is that their genetics limit them to 120 year life spans, some portion of which can be used as workers doing manual labor which wears out biology over time. Thus, the hard work would cull the weaker members of the population. If a reproductive urge is programmed into the genetics, then the catalyst for a large population is endemic. Still working today is it not?

BIOLOGICAL WORKER DISADVANTAGES
As for overpopulation, this could be a concern for the Anuknnaki advanced team, if the resources needed to sustain the biolgical works is consumed with no source for rapid replacement to stay on schedule. With a growing population, the size of the operation would be scaled naturally when too many miners were born to fit in the shafts another mine could be started in parallel. The progress for biological workers would not be as efficient as machines, but could be self-sustained with a small number of managers as seems to be the case with our hybridization between the Neanderthal and the Anunnaki council members Enki and Ninmah. We are told that after 600 years of the primitive worker hybridization breeding program, the populace was large and noisy. A balance can be found if the population can be limited in some way if this were to occur. In the Atrahasis, Enlil used disease and starvation to reduce the population. Is that still happening today?

Also, if the resource gathering milestones are being met and there is an excess labor pool, the extras can be redirected to do other work if there are enough managers to oversee their parallel activities, but this does not scale well unless there is centralized control from the original advanced crew. This might be a stretch and is why Enlil was sent after Enki's advanced team had the basics set up and now needed to be scaled. We also saw the Igigi dredging canals and other work tasks outside of mining.

Consider if the Anunnaki had chosen only tools and no biological workers, then we would not be here to have this discussion... Based on movies like the Terminator, RoboCop, and others, could the machines be used to eliminate the overage populace of primitive workers as Enlil's revenge, having only wanted tools in the first place.
