Death of Prometheus

It's a well-paced documentary, without indulging in grief, it's concise and powerful. The fly in the ointment is that I think the first half is biased towards MIT, and some of the content (in terms of the usage of the downloaded academic paper) is a little pale. Of course, the photographer must have a presupposition, but I think if the interview can be conducted from two aspects (that is, including the FBI), the story can be stronger and more complete.

The documentary is undoubtedly shaped by Allen as a hero, telling about his precocious childhood, he was different, he became famous at a young age, he was highly skilled, and at the same time he had a great passion for online politics.
What he showed was a higher pursuit.
In general, I hope the world goes in a better direction.

In the Internet age, he has a sense of moral responsibility, and he hopes that knowledge can be opened to the public without restrictions, and then, he hopes that politics can let it go.
But I think the realization of such a wish will inevitably face various obstacles in reality.
Instead of breaking the law and declaring the law invalid, is there a better way to deal with it, such as new regulations for the right to access knowledge.
Under the premise that scientific research papers or other intangible cultural assets are more open to people, how to make reasonable profits for laborers to promote production is a more important and fundamental issue.

Knowledge is for all mankind. The progress of the individual will ultimately affect the progress of humanity as a whole.
But how to connect human beings as a whole, how to achieve a win-win understanding, and whether it can be adjusted and corrected in a more gentle way.

And what the world has to do with bright minds and sincere hearts.

From a judicial perspective, sticking to the law and defending the law is the most basic code of conduct. Because defending the dignity of the law is a condition for maintaining the basic social order.
But for the legal provisions that are unreasonable and cannot adapt to the times, is there a better way to solve them?
The revolution is not until the last moment, can we not shed blood?

Prometheus died for the light of the human world.
Therefore, those who live under the light and heat should do something to remember him.

Finally, when he saw him taking a photo with his ex-girlfriend's daughter, he showed a sincere and happy smile.
I'm sure she regrets it, but I don't think that's a strong reason to accuse her.
She knew she made a mistake, she regretted it, and she was powerless to fix it.
That's it.
