神은 人間을 만들었고, 人間은 로봇을 만들었다. (여기서 神에 대한 정의는 따로 내리지 않는다.)
그래서 SF Text에선 로봇을 人間으로 대치하여 읽기도 한다. (따라서 人間을 神으로 대치할 수 있다..)
아시모프의 로봇3원칙을 보자. (이 원칙이 로봇을 위한 원칙이 아님을 알 수 있다.)
[Three Laws of Robotics]
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
로봇은 인간에 해를 가하거나, 혹은 행동을 하지 않음으로써 인간에게 해가 가도록 해서는 안 된다.
2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
로봇은 인간이 내리는 명령들에 복종해야만 하며, 단 이러한 명령들이 첫 번째 법칙에 위배될 때에는 예외로 한다.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
로봇은 자신의 존재를 보호해야만 하며, 단 그러한 보호가 첫 번째와 두 번째 법칙에 위배될 때에는 예외로 한다.
하지만 위의 세 법칙보다 우선하는 최우선 순위 법칙이 있다.
0. A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
로봇은 인류에게 해를 가하거나, 행동을 하지 않음으로써 인류에게 해가 가도록 해서는 안 된다.

무엇보다도 이 법칙을 노동자로 대표되는 '로봇'이 만들었다는데 더 큰 '의의(意義)'가 있을지 모른다.
어쩜 이 법칙은 弘益人間과 맞닿아 있을지도.. :-p
하지만 이것을 잘못 해석하여 '全體主義(totalitarianism)' 성격으로 흐르는 것을 경계(警戒)해야 한다!

Michael Franks하면 Antonio song이나 Vivaldi's song을 떠올릴텐데 첨부터 Down in Brazil이란 곡이 귀에 들어왔다.
그 중 Sleeping Gypsy 앨범은 나의 오래된 애장판중 하나이며 이 앨범의 마지막 곡인 이 곡은 맘을 편안하게 해준다.
Michael Franks - Down in Brazil (1977, Sleeping Gypsy)
Down in Brazil
It takes a day to walk a mile
Time just stands still
And when the people you meet
Look at you, they smile
They still believe in style
They sooth you with their summers
Till you really know you're
Down in old Brazil
You can tell you're down in old Brazil
Down in Brazil
They never heard of win or lose
If you can't feel
That all those cafe ole girls
In high heel shoes
Will really cure your blues
It seems they all just aim to please
Those women sway like wind
In the banana trees
Then you know you're
Down in old Brazil
-Instrumental Interlude-
Down in Brazil
They know a million ways to play
You start to feel
And when you're happy
It's the same as when you pray
You think you'll get away
Then you know you never will
Not when you've been
Down in old Brazil
Not when you are down in old Brazil
(Fade to End)
Down in old Brazil
Down in old Brazil
Down in old Brazil
Down in old Brazil
