Movies can be so deep

In fact, after reading it, it is still very depressed, it is really naked.

After all, the protagonist cannot escape the attributes of a clone, and can only live soberly in this world for three years. This is life.

The interesting thing is that clones appeared in this world because of companies, and because of companies, they have a large number of copies. But in the end these clones are going to smash that foundation. I think, with luck, maybe those clones will be rescued by the government, but they only have three years to keep their copies. If unfortunate, the clones will be destroyed by the company first. From this point of view, is the prosecution of human cloning really the most sensible behavior?
Perhaps the crux of the matter is that the clones' "ancient" adaptations were not carefully modified, but rather crudely accepted. We can imagine if the company had the ability to modify the temperament and values ​​of the clones to make them work hard for the company. Then both companies and clones will thrive.
In fact, this idea has already been realized by natural selection. We are all working "happily" to fulfill his demands. real work. Guarantee the continuation of genes. Of course, some of the original designs are a little different due to the modern jump.

Looking at it again, the sentence becomes clearer: we are all programmed. But, people are programmed in a very intelligent way. Just face more open-ended questions. For this, you can look at "The Future of Artificial Intelligence", which will be enlightening.

Many things have become somewhat subtle, for example, happy childhood is a kind of programming, human desire is a kind of programming, aging is a kind of programming, and death is also a kind of programming. At the end of the protagonist's three-year life, the body declines and declines, and our decades of life decline and fall again, but the difference is only fifty steps and one hundred steps. When the functions are exhausted and the cost-benefit ratio is uneconomical, it is natural to give up the existing body. Of course, I still have my own question here: our genetic way of thinking is a bit old-fashioned, so I won't expand it here.

Some of our basic desires are actually tools to manipulate us. As for who the manipulator is, maybe it's a company, maybe it's genes.

We came into the world because of the needs of manipulators. Even though we can defy the will of the manipulator, the will to disobey is also given to us by the manipulator (the film does not conform to this statement), which seems to lead to the dissolution of disobedience. In addition, defying the will of the manipulator, that is, escaping from the original meaning, what have we accomplished and what have we become? Maybe, nothing.
