human nature

People fear the unknown, mostly because of ignorance.

In the film, people's first thought in the face of the unknown is to destroy it instead of communicating; it is a malicious conjecture, rather than looking at the positive future. People have evil in their hearts from the beginning, how can they be qualified to obtain good?

Xunzi said: Human nature is evil. Perhaps one day, we will finally be destroyed in our own fears and evil thoughts.

In a trance, he also seemed to understand why Herbert always emphasized: Don't believe in human nature.

(In addition, I am very disgusted with the female leader of the villain organization. Also, the movie has been extremely dramatic. If there is such a powerful intelligence in reality, it is that the roots will not be infected by this virus at all, because they can be polite. Isolate the system and subsystem. Even if it is infected, it cannot be eliminated.)

Transcendence quotes

  • Max Waters: I spent my life trying to reduce the brain to a series of electrical impulses. I failed. Human emotion, it can contain illogical conflict. Can love someone, and yet hate the things that they've done. Machine can't reconcile that.

    Evelyn Caster: Can you?

    Max Waters: Yes.

  • [first lines]

    Max Waters: They say there's power in Boston. Some phone service in Denver. But things are far from what they were. Maybe it was all invevitable. An unavoidable collision between mankind and technology. The Internet was meant to make the world a smaller place. But it actually feels smaller without it. I knew Will and Evelyn Caster better than anyone. I knew their brillance. Their dedication to what they believed in. And to what they loved.
