TED on Morality and War in an Age of Robots

The TED talks series is always interesting, and thought-provoking. One of the recent talks offered intriguing overtones concerning morality: PW Singer's presentation on the quickly changing world of war in an age of robots. Singer's brief talk addresses fascinating questions of psychology, motivation, and morality. If you are interested in psychology and religion, you will find the questions Singer raises to be provocative. And the implications, horrible.

After reading that, stop by The Lucifer Effect for a related discussion on morality, this one in the context of the Khmer Rouge tribunal.
