People have a complex of God, not only satisfied with conquering, but also trying to create.
This kind of plot sprouted very early. People conquered dogs, pigs, horses, and donkeys and made them their own slaves. Not yet satisfied, they forced them to have inter-species sex in front of them, in order to "create" species more in line with human requirements. .
But this is a very low-level creation, and the result is not very precise, even semi-finished products like mules can't reproduce offspring.
"I want to create myself." This is the roar from the bottom of the human heart. I suspect that this source is derived from the Bible. The Bible says that God created mankind in his own way. So humans will naturally have the same idea.
Yes, human beings do have a God complex.
The whole Spanish movie "Eva" is about how a person tries to be a God, how to enjoy being a God, and finally falls from the omnipotence of God to the powerlessness of mankind.
The film's label claims to be a "science fiction film", but I think it is a complete "religious film".
The story of telling people and robots is not new at all. Although the current technology of human beings is far from catching up with fantasy, it can be said that this kind of concept is old. The most proficient in writing robot stories, let’s add one of them to Asimov. If you have read his robot trilogy, the base trilogy, you will know that his robot story is actually the creation of machines by humans— -Machine defeats man-Machine becomes God's reincarnation. Such a statement will definitely arouse some opposition from the same friends. After all, the famous "Three Laws of Asimov Robots" will definitely not agree with me. How to call him, he has so many names and so many identities-it just means that he is fulfilling the task assigned to him by human beings.
There is a problem here: According to the Three Laws, a robot should be a servant of humans. He must not kill any human beings. However, in Asimov’s later story, this robot indirectly kills hundreds of millions of humans. The reason is that this is more in line with the beautiful future of mankind. "Sacrifice some people in exchange for the happiness of everyone." Who can make this kind of decision, isn't it God?
After talking about so many irrelevant things, I actually want to say that humans will only go to two extremes when they make robots: either they are just slaves or they will be gods.
The protagonist of "Eva", Alexis, is such a creator. He is unwilling to create soulless slaves. He wants to create "people", but this society forbids doing so. Have you seen it? It's time for the Promethean metaphor to come on stage again-God always draws out a variety of God's realms for people, and in order to prevent humans from stepping into it, God naturally needs to set taboos for himself. And Alex is the one who broke this taboo.
But the biggest problem is that the "Prometheus" in the movie is a loser. From the beginning of the movie, you can feel the frustration from head to toe from him, even though the plot is a bit clichéd. , But it can also be explained. This frustration comes from his emotional imbalance, and his favorite woman eventually married his brother. This is very terrible. What role is Prometheus in the myth? He is a wise rebel, he is rebelling against a super BOSS like Zeus. In contrast, Alex was so inferior that he couldn't even pass his brother's level.
So the ending of the story is completely different. The robot he made by his own hands finally kills people-the moment human beings leave the status of servants of God, the first thing is to rebel against God, from questioning to interrogation to elimination.
She witnessed too many slaves and even enjoyed the life of being served by slaves, but finally learned that she was nothing but a slave created by humans. The source of her resistance to her creator in the blink of an eye, I think it came from here.
And Alex, the loser, can't even master his own life, but dreams of creating a "free life" all day long, can't help but say it is just a joke.
The movie metaphor I understand is here: we don't know where we come from and where we will go, but we are enamored with all kinds of dangerous technologies, and we are bound to kill ourselves in the end.
