Bread and Circus

        Dollcee said to Dos, if, two thousand years ago, the Romans keep the population under control with bread and circus. How come the powerful don’t do that now?

        Dos scratched his head, stroked his chin, shifted in his chair and finally said, I suppose people prefer hamburgers and fries now. I don’t think that it is legal to train caged animals to eat naughty citizens these days.

        The room was completely silent for some time before, Cybo said, what interests me the most is, Ancient Rome was a violent military state and the entertainment they are known for, was violent and combative. The healthiest sector of the entertainment industry today is violent and combative. 

        Dollcee said with an inquisitive look, when machine intelligence develops to the point where it is the norm, do think movies will be made with machines eating each other after they have been blown up with giant nuclear charges.

        Padoke said, one thing is obvious, it is a long time since you watched a Jollywood movie, Dollcee.
