Those rational murderers

Novella 2022-01-19 08:02:41

In a "rational" world, animals have no emotions, and they have no feelings of pain, happiness, etc. (Don’t be surprised, some people with extremely high IQs in the scientific field still think so stubbornly.)
In a “rational” world, how natural and “human” a robot reacts, it is just a robot set by programming. No matter how "free" they are, they have no free will.

The film has created a world where robots are extremely developed, and robots can already be made to a degree of simulation that "as if" they have free will. But the once-in-a-century genius protagonist knows that these are no different from those dumb robots, but more complicated reaction mechanisms are designed. Even if he showed his humane care for the robot horse in the opening movie, he just didn't want to leave bad emotional memories on the machine, what a sane person.

The genius male protagonist has an illegal free-running Doraemon, but he shows no feelings for this cat. Yes, it is just a free-reacting Doraemon.
When the male protagonist treated the robot butler, because he was tired of the more emotional attitude of the robot butler, he indifferently gave the instruction: lower your emotional level to level 6. I don’t know if it’s a deliberate performance, or I seem to see that the robot butler feels hurt in the heart at that moment. Yes, it would be painful for someone to be ruthlessly given instructions and have to obey them.
Although the robot housekeeper may be annoying to messy and shed hair cats because of the setting, the housekeeper is the one who interacts with the cat the most in the film. The robot housekeeper treats the robot cat as a real cat (emotionally), and is happy and surprised by it. It is a free-reacting Doraemon. Perhaps, he himself wants to be able to react freely without being ordered?

The genius male protagonist seems to be crazy about robots, but we can see that he is really crazy about EVA's mother. The genius male protagonist is just a nickname. He is praised everywhere, but he achieves nothing. His brother designed a caring robot butler. His ex-girlfriend designed EVA. And he has no theory and a broken heart.

EVA is a product that combines the protagonist and EVA her mother. In other aspects, it is perfect only in terms of safety and cannot pass. What is security? Security is never being able to be truly angry, but still obedient?

Perhaps the only person in the film who really loves EVA is her mother, who was the result of her love for the actor at first, and then she probably fell in love with this robot. Her death was an accident, and most of the mistakes made to any adolescent rebellious child were to comfort the child.
But EVA is a robot, an imperfect robot that should have been destroyed long ago. Even this "dead-headed" robotic child knows that if something goes wrong, it should be corrected, but sane human beings are sad and afraid to take responsibility at this time. Is the destruction of EVA the only option? They don’t even discuss the true circumstances of EVA’s mother’s death, study the “negative emotions” of EVA, or review their own faults. Mom, you spoiled EVA too much with love. She, a robot who inherited two smart people, can't teach and guide her well. She knows the truth for what she is afraid of. After she knows the truth, she wants to improve herself better.).

If it was all this alone, would I say that the male protagonist is a murderer? If it's just such a story, would I get 4 stars?
No, everything is just before the subtitles on that beautiful beach clip. In science fiction or discussing robots, a controversial point is whether the robots created have free will when science is very advanced. If you have free will, you will be judged as a person (vaguely remember the robot movie played by Robin Williams). The last fragment of the beach, as EVA's first-person statement, seems to be an illusion before her death. If she is a robot, can she have such a fragment, this fragment is not in any of her set reactions, yes, she has free will, she is a human, and ending her life is murder.

I can't help thinking that in the real world, there are countless people repeating such murders.
Those animals that you think they are not crying or laughing or feeling, you use them and then abandon them.
Those dogs that bit people were killed by one blow and dealt with. Only see the shift of anger, the shirk of responsibility. Animal biting is also different from human crime. They can cause aggressive behavior because of wrong training, pain, fright, or even fear. No dog bites people because they want to bite. Those who really should bear the responsibility are the owners.
And like the rabies that "failed the safety test" in the movie, because of the death of one case, the dog's vaccination is not stepped up, and there is still a high rabies vaccine fee, but it is a cruel deed of killing dogs on a large scale. , Digging pits to bury the dogs alive. (Look at the countries around China where wild cats and dogs run wild, but those poor countries have so few rabies cases. Why, remember that rabies vaccination in a certain country is free.)
...
Yes, there are too many cases in reality. Too many such cases, you may be numb and accustomed to seeing too many, but this is not normal.
These are murders promoted in the name of reason

  • Alex Garel: What do you see when you close your eyes?

  • Alex Garel: [discussing the creation of the next SI-9 generation robot] What would happen if we made a girl instead of a boy?

    Julia: Alex, I've told you, SI-9 is a boy. We just need your emotional reaction programme.

    Alex Garel: Look, boys are clumsy and boring, Girls are sweeter, more mature, more sensible... and much prettier.

    Julia: But they are also more perverse, more jealous and twisted. And I know all this because... many, many years ago I was one.
