Utopia in our hearts

I have to say I still love this show. After more than ten years of science fiction experience, it still feels incredible to think about it now, because it seems that nothing has persisted for so long.
The reason why I like science fiction is that I think it is because the stories in it fit the utopia in my mind. All ideals, human feelings, all the struggles that should arise, the inescapable fate, the final life, these are people's own choices. We often stand at crossroads, sometimes we choose a way of life, sometimes we choose a behavior, sometimes we choose a person, sometimes we choose a concept, and more often we choose what we want what kind of person to become.

To be honest, I often feel "lonely like a planet". You stand up and look at yourself and find that no one really cares about you. Everyone is rushing to live and to the future. Who will really see you? You are angry, you are dissatisfied, you are in pain, you have all these How can the mood be? Therefore, we are all lonely planets. It seems that we have satellites. It seems that we occasionally encounter comets that pass by, and we seem to have a sun ourselves, but they are always many light-years away from us. We all can't understand each other, can't communicate, can't speak, can't have any real intersection. We just looked at each other from a distance, waiting for our own final destruction.

In this show, people finally found their homes. Everyone wants to have this kind of happy ending, but without experiencing so many life and death struggles, without experiencing love and hatred with different species, learning from each other, doubting each other, fighting each other, suspecting each other, and fighting each other, how could there be all this? It's still the same as what the young Pi wants to express. In fact, Theron people are the other side of us. They are ruthless, have a sense of inheritance, and have a strong ability to learn and comprehend, although they rarely understand feelings. We are so similar, but both sides have developed a strong sense of superiority over the other. This wonderful phenomenon is the process of self-organization given an initial formula, right? Humans always say that Therons are machines, but I don't see the essential difference. In fact, both are creatures, but they are only linked by fate. Why are they so hostile?

In addition, I can understand Dr. Porta's position and point of view very well, a person who has an open and developing universe concept, and tries to protect himself. This is the general trend of the world. There will inevitably be various pains in the evolution of human beings, but this is also an inevitable experience of development. It's just that these kinds of developments are so familiar at the end. After experiencing all this, they continue to cycle back and forth, and finally return to the original point.
