The problem is that there is no conscious ruler. People, including robots, are performing a set of unconscious procedures. This procedure is not for the special interests of which class, nor is it that artificial intelligence gave birth to subject consciousness to rule humans. On the contrary, it is dominance. The purpose that has been removed from sensibility is left with instrumental rationality, and all impulses are subject to this instrumental rationality, whether it is sexual impulse or religious sentiment. So the whole society is running numbly like this. It exists for the sake of existence, and existence loses its meaning. Doing for the sake of doing is a critique of instrumental rationality.
What shocked me was the shot of them rushing out of the prison and merging into the crowd. At that time, I felt that the flow of people in white with shaved heads was like a mentally ill group. The rule of instrumental rationality is to strictly distinguish between normal and mad. Basically everyone is treated as a mentally ill patient. , Must take medicine on time. The protagonist was arrested not because of a crime, but because various physiological indicators showed that he was not normal.
Finally, in the Passion of Matthew and the afterglow of the setting sun, the protagonist escaped from this society with nothing outside. He came to the real world. When we complain about the meaninglessness of social history, we always think that there is something in the “nature” outside of it. This kind of real meaning exists, but the natural truth is a barren physical existence. Therefore, the final outcome is not optimistic, not that the ecological world outside of society is full of vitality, but that the world itself is running numbly.
