so realistic

When I saw the middle part, I remembered many allusions. For example, the title of "the smartest man in the world" was given to King Solomon in the Bible. The Queen of Sheba summoned King Solomon to the palace, and after asking three questions, she committed herself to him.
How similar to 2505 in the film, even the questions raised are almost embarrassing.

It is said that in the 17th century, the average amount of information held in a lifetime is only the equivalent of a New York Times today. It seems to prove that we are currently living in an era of civilization.
On September 14, 1857, it was changed to The New York Times, with more than 90 pages on weekdays and 140 pages on Sundays. One hundred and fifty years later, the Sunday edition of November 13, 1983 reached 1572 editions.
Of course, there is an explosion of information now, but what kind of information is being disseminated and accepted is still up for debate.

Quality determines what kind of information people extract to digest, and the root of improving quality lies in education.
But education is becoming more and more specialized and sophisticated, with knowledge in the hands of a handful of people. Most people are still stupid and bad.

I still think this will not be the case in the future, because policymakers should be able to save the spark of cutting-edge molecules. The ignorant majority is led by a very few leaders, like bees.
Besides, aren't the ignorance and evil of human beings their own natural enemies? The crisis of being oppressed by others spurs us to progress (from different perspectives and levels).

If we really haven't progressed at all, is it possible that Doctor Strangelove will come true before the movie's vision of humans degenerating to an average IQ of 20?
However, after writing this sentence, I feel uncertain, because the film also mentions nuclear leakage. It is not impossible to kill cockroaches by humans, and it is probably impossible to kill people with nuclear weapons.
It's been a few hundred years anyway.

Earth is innocent. Why breed intelligent life?
Are all intelligent beings so helpless?
What kind of physiological structure can prevent it from becoming the cancer of the parent star? Brain waves communicate, no secrets, can you?

Wouldn't man be angry with his own depravity?
When I’m lazy, I feel like I’m depraved, and even if I don’t take action, I’m at least ashamed, I don’t want to be known, and I don’t want to influence others.


Do Americans really have so many children...


As film workers, directors and screenwriters bear the brunt of the irony of TV shows and movies (Oscars). Underappreciated indignation?

The reporters and hosts of fox news have good professionalism, at least they can speak fluently:
"He tried taking water from toilets, but it's Secretary Not Sure who finds himself in the toilet now. And as history pulls down its pants and prepares to lower its ass on Not Sure's head, it will be Daddy Justice who will be crapping on him this time."

But the heroine's IQ is not much higher than that of the future... The "average" of women is not Should be so stupid.
Feeling ridiculed :(

The actor repeatedly told the heroine that "you have to stick to painting" may be the only thing that warms me, but it is also built on the deception of women. Women don't expose the truth, and there is not much motive for it Gentleness, let’s think more about your own decency. A story about being transformed by the hero, Holy Light.

I don’t want to talk about it. Every detail is full of stupidity.
