Question 1: Why does the puppet master say "reproduction" and "death" as a necessary factor for a living body? How do you connect with people?
The puppet master believes that although he claims to be a living body, it is not perfect enough, the system cannot reproduce offspring or achieve death, and it does not have the basic functions of life. Although he can reproduce himself, the replica is only a replica after all. As long as a virus has the possibility of completely destroying it. The most important thing is that replicas cannot produce individuality and variation. In order to survive better, the puppet master must continue to become complex and diverse, giving up the ability to replicate and accepting death. Life is constantly multiplying and evolving. Cells regenerate and age gradually during repetitive metabolic processes. When dying, a large amount of experience information will be taken away, leaving only genes and imitative factors, which is also a defense mechanism to prevent death.
That is to say, although the form of life is changing, it always follows the natural mechanism of reproduction and death. If the puppet master wants to become a sustainable life, he has to accept such a natural mechanism. , death to avoid extinction.
In fact, the same is true of human beings, giving birth to new generations, dying, and so on and so forth. However, the over-expansion of modern technology, as long as the technology can do it, human beings will find a way to achieve it, which seems to have broken such a natural mechanism. In order to improve various functions of the body, human beings create prosthetics and electronic brains, which break the law of natural reproduction and death, which is the continuation of life, and also break the instability and diversity to avoid extinction. As Pixel said at the beginning of the movie, as long as the system is composed of parts of the same specification, there must be some fatal flaw, and whether organizations or people, excessive simplification will only lead to extinction. Humans seem to have forgotten this, and just blindly pursue the convenience brought by technology and destroy the law of life evolution. This over-simplification defect based on prosthetics and electronic brains can easily be caught by programs like puppet masters. , thus causing mankind to go extinct.
8. "The good is yours" "The new you..." What does the dialogue mean?
Suzi used to think that the things that a person can come into contact with in a lifetime is just a drop in the ocean compared to the information in this world. Memories shape me and confine me to certain boundaries. And what the puppet master provides to Motoko is such a limitation that jumps out of the self. Human beings themselves are in constant change, and the idea of maintaining the current self has been limiting Motoko. The combination with the puppet master allows the element to be connected to the vast network. Memory is just a kind of information, which is very limited, and this limited information enables human beings to form self-awareness. Humans should jump out of this limited information and connect with the vast information network in the world, so as to jump out of the limited self-individual, become a part of the huge network aggregate, and sublimate to a higher level. Whether it is a real memory or an illusory dream, it is just information in the end.
