respect for consciousness

There are many points in the film that are worth discussing, and this article discusses the extraction of copies of consciousness in the film.
Is it inhumane to torture copies of consciousness? Is it a crime? The torment is just the code, the master is fine. Anyway, when I saw the torture and enslavement of the female protagonist's copy of the operation, and the torture of the criminal's consciousness at the end of the film, I felt very sad and cruel.
In my opinion, as long as it is an independent consciousness, it is worthy of respect and has a personality.
Although people have a body, their consciousness plays a very important role. Most of a person's behavior is determined by their consciousness. What kind of consciousness a person has will be what kind of person he will be. (Off-topic: In fact, the use of copies of consciousness in the film can also be used to clone consciousness like human clones, allowing each copied consciousness to develop independently, and the result may be very interesting, as described in "The Night of the Comet" Parallel space is the same.)
According to this film, it breaks away from science fiction and returns to reality. Real people, in fact, often show disrespect for personal consciousness in reality, which leads to various growth troubles, psychological problems, and split personality.
This kind of disrespect is caused by the individual's own ignorance or fear without respecting his true consciousness, and also by the aggression, enslavement, and control of his consciousness caused by the coercion, command, neglect, etc. of others. Consciousness is too subtle, many of which happen inadvertently, and of course there are obvious states that break through the normal boundaries.
Disrespect for consciousness of all kinds, conscious or unconscious, leads to quite a few psychological problems. Nowadays, people basically have some kind of psychological problems. In the future, is it possible to produce a kind of science or law starting from consciousness, to realize the nature of consciousness, to have a scientific understanding of a set of natural and healthy consciousness, and to disrespect the consciousness of oneself or others should be punished by morality or law , to ensure the free and healthy growth of each consciousness. In this way, many social and political problems do not exist.
Write this first, and record this idea, for fear of forgetting. The logic is useless, and if you have any objections, feel free to raise them.

    The plot is well-organized and the characters are well-crafted.

    God has finally unfolded again. AI has developed to this level, and it must be more than just a smart home or social assistance. . . And no one controls the human rights of cookies. . However, Black Mirror has always insinuated reality, only exploring one direction of technology, and will not have the ambition to shape a complete future world. This episode was really thought-provoking, and I totally fell for it.

  • Matt: It wasn't really real, so it wasn't really barbaric.
