To remove boundaries between species. No longer will words like "human" or "turian" or "geth" will set walls between us. Equality, peace.
I think it's beautiful.
The differences between these peoples are
not all derived from physical appearance, or "hardware" (as the Geth would say). These classifications are as much social constructs as they are categorical labels. We derive our sense of "self" from both nature
and nurture. It is silly to believe that a simple blast of energy can erase all traces of individuality from life, even if everyone becomes similar in appearance.
This is all, of course, assuming you even believed the Catalyst at all. I did not. I saw no evidence for the wild assertions he was making, nor did I find it palatable that all synthetics will
inevitably revolt against organics. The notion is ludicrous. As we saw when dealing with the Geth and EDI, truly living synthetics develop a sense of "self". With that "self" comes a certain outlook on life, a certain way of thinking and feeling. It stands to reason that there would be at least a token level of disparity within the synthetic community itself. Legion's referring to himself as "I" is a good indicator of that.
Mr. Gamble's statement is actually even more insulting than the original scenario. His idea that there is nothing left but "life" is utter nonsense. There is no "life" left after Synthesis, not in the way that it existed before. Rather than respecting the chaotic, fractuous nature of life, Synthesis teaches us that we should all become the same if we wish to get along. Bull.
Here's a better idea. Why don't we learn to cope with our differences, and get along because
we learned to work past them, and not because we swept them under a sparkly new carpet?
Did it ever occur to the Starbrat that the reason sentient synthetics chose hostility toward organics is because organics refused to treat the synthetics as a legitimate form of life? Would the Quarians and Geth
not have lived peacefully if the Quarians had not openly attacked their creations?
