Look no further

Which books should i read to decide between Protestantism and Catholicism?

is this the 16th century equivalent of a shitpost? what were some examples of shitposting from other eras?

How will corporate-mandated morality affect human morality if at all? What I mean by this is very simple.
As we witness the expansion of the Internet of Things, automation and artificial intelligence, "autonomous" objects will start to interact with humans and from such interactions conflicts will inevitably emerge. Since these new technologies will, also inevitably, cause damage to human life, either material or moral, companies will have to give these autonomous objects certain "ethical" axioms that will be followed to the letter. The obvious example is self-driving cars: they're going to face Trolley-type situations on a daily basis, and companies will program them to make choices based on axioms such 'human life is more valuable than inanimate objects', 'one human life is less valuable than three human lives', 'an old man's life is less valuable than a young man's one' etc.. But self-driving cars are just one example, and we'll have many such items inside our homes and offices, hospitals and parks. I'm thinking that, given enough time, we humans will start to mirror the ethical "choices" made by the machines in order to accommodate. Failing to comply with such corporate-mandated ethical principles will be punishable by law. I mean, are we really realizing Marx's fear of total commoditization of life?

Did he really say this?

If so my respect for him just increased tenfold.
