If it is a thought experiment, if there is really philosophy and rational thinking, I think it will be really like the "Utopia". Of course, in that extreme environment, collective and submissive thinking are necessary wisdom and developmental vision. The philosophical ideas preached by Nietzsche and those philosophers would be at a loss in that situation, and according to the role of the film, there is no so-called philosophical literacy, game-theoretic thinking, and the rationality and logic in it are just Pure utilitarian pragmatism. Of course, it is really difficult to show it when viewed in the film, which is understandable.

Petra: Your sweet talk still needs work.
