Choose Your Reason and Humanity

Let’s talk about the plot first, and the three multiple-choice questions in the last class.
Session 1: Tell everyone to choose rationality, which is the basis of the logic of the world, just like human instinct, drink water when you are thirsty, eat when you are hungry, there is no right or wrong, so normal people will choose to continue human reproduction as the goal people.

The second game: It is a refined choice, still aiming to continue the incense, but adding a weight ratio on top of the rational choice, similar to drinking water when you are thirsty, but if the water is poisonous, you will still give up, more than the first game. Most of them are just rational choices to increase wisdom. It is still the old routine of the first game. The choice is beneficial to you as a whole.

Session 3: The choice of human nature, pure literary and artistic style, most of the choices are related to spiritual civilization. Everyone knows that spiritual civilization cannot survive without material support, so the director has to let you all die, but death is more difficult than death. Those who choose rational are more dashing.

Okay, let's see why all 3 games have to die. The first game is a rational choice, but their teacher's resentment (that is, negative human nature) pushes rationality to death. To put it bluntly, it is the best rational choice. It also serves humanity. If you don’t accept my human orientation, I will also use rational means to complete my human orientation. If I don’t give you the password, you will still die with me. What continuation of the incense will be in front of the teacher’s personal negative humanity. shit.

The second paragraph is still the same, the selection is over, right? If you don't listen to my command, I will let you all die. This teacher does not reflect the survival of the strong, but is completely selfish.

As for the third paragraph, since it is still dead, it is better for everyone to die happily, so the literary fan chosen by the heroine stays, just like you already have cancer, lying in the hospital is also a hang, and a complete indulgence is also a hang, it is better to indulge Bar. Of course, the choice of the heroine is definitely not based on equality for everyone. Those who engage in spiritual civilization are human beings, but those who engage in infrastructure construction are not human beings? Therefore, the choice of the heroine is also very inclined.

Finally, let’s talk about the big picture. There are so many rational and human choices. Isn’t it because the teacher is selfish to play male pig feet in order to vent his anger, and the heroine chooses people who are not wanted by the teacher to fight against the teacher. Both are the smartest, using human nature and rationality to achieve selfish intentions, while other students are immersed in choosing rationality and choosing human nature, and he has a great time playing with them.

So in general, two smart people complete their inner selfish duel with a philosophy. But this is how the world is. Smart people use the logic of the world and even the choice of human nature to force you to serve their selfishness. It’s like a boss telling a new employee that the more you do, the faster your ability will improve. Of course it sounds reasonable. , but for new employees, is the boss right? But there is a sentence hidden behind this sentence, and the value obtained from you is even higher.

However, it is also considered that the director explained the choice between evil and goodness of human nature from another aspect at the end. The teacher played the choice of evil human nature in each scene, and finally got everyone's resistance, and the good person of the heroine in the third scene Sexual selection brings unexpected rewards, and it also reflects that a life with spiritual civilization is more exciting than a busy life in the material world. Without spiritual civilization, you are a walking dead, so it is also the director who told everyone that you should choose the good side. At the same time, the final ending also shows this. When the students leave, the teacher is left with only textbooks. In the three endings of going up the stairs, the teacher is always alone. He is lonely and dark in human nature. Don't choose a villainous ending.

    I started watching it with a serious and thoughtful attitude, and the plot continued to develop in the opposite direction. From the very beginning, the director did not intend to discuss philosophy with you in a civilized manner, only to prove that human nature is the key factor in making a decision. Everyone, including teachers, cannot escape selfish desires. This flip makes me feel very interesting, ignoring the plot bugs, this is at least a movie that keeps me entertained from beginning to end, it is very entertaining

    A very creative little piece, but it stops there. The philosophical logic and visual effects at the beginning are also very attractive, but after the first doomsday, you will not be able to bear the pretentiousness and romanticism of these philosophers' thinking and logic. There is nothing wrong with such a script. It just has nothing to excite people. After all, all of this is just on paper, and the final ending is so "profound" that I don't even bother to understand it. ★★

    Mr. Zimit: Hang on, Chips, we'll get there.

    Chips: But is it biological? Geological? Thermo-nuclear? Meteorological?
