OK both of you. You've lost me now. I thought I was playing a video game not getting doctorates in philosophy, biology, computer science, and whatever else you guys are saying.
If I have to know all that to make sense of the ending....I think I'll play Borderlands instead.
“No rose without a thorn but many a thorn without a rose.” - Arthur SchopenhauerProbably a bad thing thing that I talk and think that way.
Now when taking things into perspective with Synthesis I look it as an authoritarian step towards an inherent problem we all have. People who generally believe that inequality is unavoidable or is desirable fall onto the right. Synthesis forces that removal of perceived inequality between Synthetics and Organics, removing the existential fear of being wiped out by our creations. These are the unpleasent political undertones I have often brought up. One of the primary attributes of fascist aesthetics is a promotion and glorification of the body en masse. Synthesis does that on a galactic scale.
One might remove HIV/AIDS by removing those infected to a single location. Such an act would effectivly destroy with the virus. However, it would only take one mutation of the Primate Immuno Deficiency Virus after a case of Zoonosis and we arrive at the same issue we had before.
We can remove the speed at which Synthetics and Organics compete on an evolutionary level (however this happens) but it still won't prevent new organics from forming. The only way to permenently solve the issue is to ensure that Synthesis affects all things for ALL time, meaning that new life that forms will be.......Synthesized to some degree.
What I haven't seen is how anyone proposes this is possible, as the amount of energy needed would be massive. Synthesis would still have to be in effect millions of years from now.
I'm not going to do that.
