I didn't want to write a review of this TV series, but after answering a lot of questions in the past few days, I decided to organize and write an article. That's why the children are repeatedly mentioned in the play - "They left you like all children" - "You should also let go like parents" This is what Chaozhi said to Milo, and it is also the screenwriter's own to "childhood" "understanding. In fact, the original author is likely to compare the primary stage of human beings to the "childhood" stage, and the evolved child is the "adult" stage. When the next generation of human beings finally evolve, the previous generation of people will end as a childhood stage, and the next generation will end as a childhood stage. A generation of children matured, integrated into the embrace of the super-intelligence of the universe, and merged with the super-intelligence. Just like a child grows up (evolution), and finally leaves the world of childhood (earth), enters the crowd (super-intelligence), and welcomes a new stage of his life (evolutionary process), this is the so-called "end of childhood" . Some people say that the end of science and technology is theology, whether this TV or the original book has a strong metaphysical color, but it is not the theology of Christian personification, not the savior, not the trinity, not some miracle, but closer to Taoism. It is said that "Tao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things", everything comes into being, is the only one, and it is all, which can be separated or inseparable. Recently, I read a passage from the Bhagavad-gita in the Mahabharata. There is also a theory of the "Supreme I" that is close to the "super-intelligence", which represents the truths of the world and exists in all things. In the West, the theology of the great philosopher Spinoza is a similar concept. Speaking of miracles, there is a joke in the play. In EP1, Ricky and Ellie have a candlelight dinner at home. Ellie said, "It's really good, it's just the two of them, and there are five thousand people outside." Ricky said "maybe send them some bread and fish soon and they'll like it". Here is the allusion of "five loaves and two fish" in "Matthew's Gospel". It is said that Jesus used five loaves and two fish to divide it among five thousand people, and the rest filled twelve baskets after everyone was full. Miracle story (the loaves here should be translated into bread, the subtitle team obviously did not know this allusion, so it was literally translated into bread). In the play, Ricky and Ellie use this to ridicule outsiders. Although they have abandoned traditional religious beliefs, they still use traditional religious methods to worship the Super Lord. Some people asked why the super-main destroyed the earth, not by being destroyed. In the play, it was said that it was absorption and fusion. Many civilizations on other planets have also undergone such evolution. This time, it is the turn of the earth. And at the beginning The title shows everyone's disease, war, conflict, pollution and other human beings that may destroy themselves. In order to avoid human self-destruction, Super Lord came to Earth to become a supervisor, and according to Superintelligence's instructions, help human evolution . Then another person asked, "What the black person meant was to leave even a trace of thoughts for him. Later, Super Master left him an ending song. Since it's not an explosion, there's no need to do this (music)", this is what we need to understand here ——The childhood stage of human civilization has ended, and it has evolved into a superintelligence. It is no longer an individual consciousness, but is integrated into the group consciousness. One is the superintelligence of all things. Since there is no individual self-awareness, there will be no more elemental works derived from individual human nature, such as music, art and culture. For example, super-intelligent ideas and wisdom are incomprehensible to human beings, and works created under human self-awareness cannot. Continued in Superintelligence. As said in the play, humans and the next generation of children cannot communicate, because the next generation of children has gradually become super-intelligent. Humans evolved into superintelligence, but after evolution they are no longer human, they no longer think in human ways, they no longer live in human ways, and music does not exist. As for the super master, it has gone to another fork in the evolution process. The play also says that the super master has reached the top of their evolutionary process and can no longer evolve or integrate into super intelligence. This reminds me of the fact that when I watched "Terminator Stories", I once said that the human brain is like a supercomputer. It is a pity that after a person dies, all wisdom cannot be archived and preserved. The super master is more intelligent than human beings, and can quickly learn all the languages of human beings, but still cannot break through the shackles of individuals, cannot escape the objective constraints of racial creatures, and is trapped in a separate body, and reproduces in the same inefficient way as human beings. It is materialistic existence. Super-intelligence gets rid of individual limitations and can directly integrate spiritually. One is the crowd, and the crowd is also one. All wisdom ideas are not limited by time and space. (very close to Buddhist theory), so he envied human beings. It can be seen here that the super master is a race that still retains self-awareness, so while envying humans, he can also understand how humans miss and cherish their own civilization, so he left a piece of music. Just like when a person becomes an adult, he will no longer play with the toys of childhood. The next generation of human evolution integrates into superintelligence, and music does not exist. Supermaster can understand superintelligence and understand the meaning of evolution, but there is also a self-individual. Consciousness can understand the preciousness of childhood for a child. Childhood is over, but childhood also has its own value (although idealism is superior, materialism also has its own value), and should not be completely forgotten by all living beings, so leave music as a kind of nostalgia.
