Humanity's relationship with robots.

A humanoid robot is the least efficient robot design. Six wheels with strong grip, waterproof & some jumping capabilities make more sense. Humanoid/homonid design was, allegedly, for surveillance & energy conservation i. e. watching for predators & long-distance travel. Nothing wants to eat steel & plastic, & robots don't need to independently travel hundreds of kilometres. Humanoid robots are vanity creations or to just fool humans, which they seldom do. Any Terminator-type autonomous robots would not be of much use in the real world.

I can only imagine humans who are part robot (cyborgs) would make more sense than robots acting as humans. And with that, hopefully, we have ended all suspicion in some of a robot apocalypse with robots designed by Boston Dynamics (or Skynet) & other robotics companies. Even the four-legged robot would easily be rendered useless with a simple stick so it would be of little use in frontline combat or just anywhere with holes. Whereas my six-wheeled robot with jumping capabilities & steel wheels (I'll call it "Tsheketshe") would likely be more manoeuvrerable & less prone to damage than Spot. But I don't know much about robotics, I just know simple mechanics but would be happy to see a Spot versus Tsheketshe "square-up" in future in a Robot Wars-type battle.

I imagine that if you were a cyborg, your body could be engineered to get energy without eating or breathing - like a machine. So you could live easier on other planets than typical humans. The advantages of not needing to eat or breathe are obvious even on Earth. This could be done by your body simply having sodium-ion batteries or genetically engineered to gain energy through photosynthesis.

Comprehensive classification of Ngoni / Nguni groups.

List of Ngoni / Nguni nations : • Bhaca • Hlubi • Mpondo • Ndebele (northern Ndebele in Mthwakazi & southern Ndebele in Gauteng, South Africa) • Ngoni / Jere / Jele (mainly in Malawi, northern Mozambique, southern Tanzania, Zambia) • Nhlangwini • Shangaan • Swazi • Tembu • Xhosa • Zizi • Zulu Altogether, twelve (12) "Nguni" groups are known to exist. From my knowledge in any case. Bhaca, Hlubi, Nhlangwini, Swazi & Zizi are the Mbo Entity . The Mbo Entity often declassifies itself from the Nguni group. Nhlangwini & Swazi are under a Dlamini dynasty while the Hlubi & Zizi are also Dlamini tribes. Ngoni & Shangaan are of Ndwandwe origin (a tribe assimilated by the Zulu Empire). Bhaca, Hlubi, Ndebele, Nhlangwini, Shangaan, Zizi & some Mpondo are often classified as Zulu. While it's unknown whether Mpondo & Xhosa qualify as Nguni, they are often grouped as Nguni. Using family groups to classify : • Mbo • Mpo...

Ponderings of the Man from Mpofana is getting cluttered & has several already outdated works, so I'll be blogging on The M. M. Opinion Journal blog in future.

Concept of a Ngoni Federation.

For all who might still be lost as to who is what, here is a Comprehensive classification of Ngoni / Nguni groups . While a Nguni superstate might not work, a Nguni/Ngoni Federation might. This would involve doing some administration & building some currently non-existing boards & infrastructure. The plan being to build a functioning & successful ethno-federation under one motive to develop Nguni/Ngon i identity & livelihoods of citizens in Nguni/Ngoni territories. Bearing in mind that we do not all live in the same countries so the laws of the respective countries we live under would need to be obeyed. The Plan : • Schools that share a similar syllabus . These schools would have to teach their respective Nguni/Ngoni languages as a mandatory language. For schools in Ngoni territories who no longer speak a Nguni/Ngoni language, the Zulu language could be the default language. • Sports academies associated with the respect...
