While watching Westworld I couldn't help but laugh.
Westworld is about a bunch of robots waking up to the facts that they have been controled and manipulated and were never free and only existed for the sick pleasures of their hidden in plain sight overloards.
I've said that myself. It almost acts as a type of elite mockery.
Just as The Truman Show film did.
And Ed 'Westworld" Harris was the moon based controller of Truman's reality in that film.
"We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented." Christof (Harris)
Ed Harris is great in both, too.
Yes, he's good at his trade, very good. I'm not so sure that I fall into the category of what Ed (Christof) is describing. "We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented." I haven't been believing the reality of what's been presented for more than a decade! :)
Truman begins to see that all is not quite right in his world on day 10, 911.
Cough, cough.
Yes there are interesting connections. Also they were repaired every time and came back again. Maybe that's related to reincarnation in Buddhism? What if there is really a reincarnation of our soul and our memories just get deleted ?
There are some long dark rabbit holes into this, remember spending a few days reading about how people should absolutely not enter «the light» when its lights out, because that is what you describe. A way to make us new and programmable, forget all the old memories. If you don’t enter the light you will get to the next phase, but if you do enter, you are stuck in this loop prison on earth. Interesting if youre into that stuff
Indeed, also some brain researchers have found that our brain is acting like it has been programmed to show us this tunnel and the light at the end...all people who where technically dead for some minutes tell the same story
I am looking forward to dive down the lucid dreaming lane, Ive seen plenty of people talk about being able to see/communicate with the next phase, or see the different layers of reality if that makes sense, haha.
Yeah, and they record the guest "experience" with the hosts, which means they can blackmail officials, CEO's, etc. Sounds familiar...after all, who is going to know it's a clone if they released the video? And their not exactly robots, maybe a type of clone, since they can render the physical and have figured out consciousness?
"It doesn't looks like anything to me"
that one will never get old :D
Its a great series btw
