The separation of spirit and flesh, soul and shell is the means by which people can achieve immortality of the soul and immortality of the flesh. The separation of the two is actually a brand-new transformation that turns a cocoon into a butterfly, and is an alternative form of immortality achieved by human beings through information technology. This is different from the elixir-like principle that prolongs life, but the coexistence of the body and the soul through the prosthetic body to achieve a new graft. Separating the two sides of coexistence, human genes and thinking are processed and controlled by data, rather than the ontology of life, for me, it is a violation of the rhythm of human development and a dark side of technological development. Humans are human beings after all, whether they are emotions and six desires, birth, old age, sickness or death, there is a beginning and an end, and the finite is the ultimate destination of human beings, and the so-called infinity is ultimately a desire to give up, and technology is an excuse that no one can refute to cover up this gorgeous and advanced desire. With little knowledge and superficial views, people echo what others say, with deep emotions, and I don't know what to say.

    Re-watching @phenomena's automatic kneeling every time the music is played, together with the apocalyptic loneliness and sadness created by the hand-painted scene, it is so beautiful that it is piercing through the heart.

Ghost in the Shell quotes

  • Batô: Chief, you ever question the ethics of the neurosurgeons who monkey around inside your brain?

    Section 9 Department Chief Aramaki: They undergo psychiatric evaluations, especially those in security. They're subjected to a stringent screening of their personal lives. Of course, the ones who check are only human.

    Batô: I guess once you start doubting, there's no end to it.

  • Batou: That's all it is. Information. Even a simulated experience or a dream is simultaneous reality and fantasy. Any way you look at it, all the information that a person accumulates in a lifetime is just a drop in the bucket.
