In the original work, a certain mutant does not have the front lobe of the brain, but has the ability to predict the future like a conditioned reflex instinct, and has a god-like beauty that all women can't resist, the oldest and most cutting-edge means of survival. He has become the most perfect animal to adapt to the environment; the reason why he can only be called an animal is because he has a future, and the future is his present, but there is no past, no memory, no language, no thought, no emotion, and the only purpose of life is Survive, escaping all foreseeable future dangers; this is more intimidating to humans than those mutants who surpass humans in intelligence. When Dick wrote this novel, he wanted to explore the meaning of life. When the novel was published, he was unwilling to compromise with the editor and set the mutants as the leaders of mankind when the apocalypse came, because in his heart, he must still be struggling with the philosophical question of how to live well.
According to Dick's imagination, if human beings really evolve to acquire the ability to predict the future, they will lose the memories and emotions that make people human, because time is limited, and facing the infinity of the future, you can only empty your brain and use Respond instinctively, otherwise the brain will be overloaded and shaken. Therefore, in the movie, the male protagonist is only given two minutes of predictive ability, and he can only predict the pictures related to himself.
In addition, from text to visualization, it is destined to be simplified and commercialized, otherwise only a small-cost independent film can be made. But the screenwriter of this film, I deeply suspect that they are all science students, and fully grasp the laws of quantum physics that will be changed as long as you see the future (this is really not a novelty); predicting the future is not simply knowing fate It is the uniqueness of human beings, but it is necessary to make the best choice after anticipating various possibilities. Marx at least got one thing right. Humans have subjective initiative. You can choose to avoid all unfavorable situations, but even if you The choices you make are right individually, and can end up in the worst possible outcome where everyone gets blown up by a nuclear bomb; and sometimes you choose to get an old punch that you could easily avoid, but the next one. In seconds, you won the sympathy of the heroine; you sacrificed a period of freedom in exchange for a happy ending. It's not a blessing to know that Sai Weng lost his horse, the truth has been tested out.
So, this kind of foresight, if you don't master the game theory well, it's useless. It's better to take a step by step and take it with you.
