First of all, I think if you want to understand this film, you have to understand what is the biggest difference between people in the works such as
"Plague Inc.", "Babel" and "Metal Gear"
? In fact, it is about perception and being perceived.
When Will was still a human, the traditional sci-fi style told us: "Singing about human nature, the flesh itself has the essence of life, that is, love, being loved, and various chemical conflicts break the old pattern, bringing new dynamic rules.” In short, we sing about the differences brought about by our own nature, we tolerate these, and tolerate the goodness (salvation, true love, kindness, etc.) and ugliness (jealousy) caused by them. , anger, hatred, etc.), these conflicts cause human beings to think "what are we, why do we do this, how can we avoid this, can we be better?" So we keep updating the values of society, keep progress, and constantly upgrade our civilization, this is the way of human progress.
The problem is that people are always individual, and different experiences of individuals create different perceptions. For example, a person who always experiences bad things will definitely become decadent, and a person who is constantly admired by others will definitely be confident and emotional. People with rich perception will definitely be sensitive, people with high IQ always feel that the people around them are stupid, people with discordant families will be short-tempered, we have been fighting against the chemical reaction of our body all our lives, and then perceive some experiences and summarize Get up, become wisdom, use wisdom to make yourself a little better, and make your physical and mental satisfaction better.
We perceive, we summarize, we progress
We have too many restrictions, why does the monkey keep screaming? Because it has lost its perception, it has its own brain, but he can't see, can't hear, can't feel hunger, pain, it only has nothingness, it has huge computing power, but it doesn't know how to use it. And what about us? How would we survive without hunger, fatigue, pain, fear of these chemical reactions?
Will has a goal. This goal was given by his wife. Heal the earth (nanotechnology improves smog, regenerates deserts), heals humans (cure diseases), better health (remove DNA defects, regenerate limbs), better (The thugs who rob people and money have upgraded their IQs and shared perceptions because of the Internet function of nanotechnology)
It is true that global nanotechnology is a double-edged sword. It surpasses the existing framework of civilization, and no one can restrain it. But it depends on who is using it, if it is a thug, it has the ability to instantly kill the attacking army, but obviously Will is not, when he is in the flesh, he can only do some creativity and procedures, but When he entered the Internet, his ability was infinitely amplified by human civilization and technology. When he kept spreading with nanometers, what he saw was not everything that an ordinary human could endure and perceive. A grand perception system, he has goals, so he knows what to do, and everything is moving in a better direction.
Let's imagine that when people's IQs are no longer different, everyone can feel the same, diseases can be treated, the environment can be better, factories no longer discharge sewage, and humans no longer pollute the world, human beings no longer use individuals to advertise everything. Now, human beings have lost their differences, merged into a huge new species, and set off towards better and stronger. Isn't this what human beings are pursuing?
But human perception is limited, so people first suspected that Will wanted to build an army, because those people listened to him, and then suspected that Will wanted to destroy all the inorganic things in the world. Humans fear things beyond their understanding because they can't control them , Anyone who has played "Plague Inc." knows that once Nano completes the function of non-stop copying, it can become a virus, so if Will wants to kill someone, he doesn't need to do it himself. Minutes are enough, but he didn't do it, he didn't even think about the possibility of doing it, that's the limit of perception and that's why the final tragedy was born
Hey, sighing life, how difficult it is to understand, realm and perception, it is really a tower between people, which cannot be crossed
