The Brave New World of the Otaku

Bruce Willie's old gun strikes again. This script is almost tailor-made for him. He is too old to run and can't read it, so he finds a machine agent. To be honest, the makeup technique is really amazing. I don’t know how much powder I applied and how much skin was pulled to make the effect. I was 30 years younger, you monster.
Hollywood has made a lot of movies about the relationship between humans and machines. This time, the machine did not rise, and became the poor victim. The world in the film is as beautiful as advertised. Machines replace human labor instead of human adventures. People only need to lie in bed and use their brains. Even better, no matter how old or ugly you are, the robo-agent is a top-notch guy and beauty. The only downside is that humans may degenerate into fat, small dwarfs, as can be seen from the big belly at the end of the film. But the temptation was so great that no one could resist, so everyone became an otaku. In fact, the film is a sci-fi commercial film, so there is no need to discuss any philosophical propositions about human nature. Laziness is one of the weaknesses of human nature. I believe that one day, I will also choose a machine agent, how about you?

    The Prophet: Look at yourselves. Unplug from your chairs, get up and look in the mirror. What you see is how God made you. We're not meant to experience the world through a machine.
