The last episode of the fourth season of "Black Mirror" is still a bit of a slap in the face. The idea of a copy of the copyman's thinking has appeared many times in the previous episodes. It's just that the story in this episode is darker and sadder.
It also made me suddenly understand that the immortality of the soul is not necessarily a kind of happiness. If the soul does not have a unique body to carry and can disappear with the destruction of the body, then immortality is more likely to become a painful torture.
Just like in this episode, there are three stages of consciousness immortality: 1. Parasitic in the brain of the human host; 2. Parasitized in the inorganic body; 3. Independent virtual storage.
The result of parasitism in the host's brain is as I expected, two sets of consciousness cannot coexist in the same brain, the host can't bear it, and the copy of consciousness is eventually expelled into inanimate stuffed toys. However, the ability to express is correspondingly limited to two repeated sentences: the little monkey loves you, and the little monkey needs a hug.
Such little monkeys could not replace the real mother at all, so the little monkeys were soon abandoned by her children. It is conceivable that the copy of consciousness in the little monkey has entered into a world of loneliness and despair. What is even more desperate is that pure consciousness has no ability to kill itself to end this tragedy.
The third stage of storage simulation is very high, but the imprisoned consciousness is used to perform a Sisyphus-style repeated pain.
After watching this episode, people find that the immortality of the soul may not be so beautiful. Perhaps the fast-morning body is a switch given to human beings by creation. Perishing together, following those primitive and natural ways.
