Ok:
1:52 - 'Makes everybody's mind equal.'
He then goes on to ignore the question asked about how it works. Looks like control of the brain to me.
Wrong. He does explain how it works.
Everyone will be hooked up to Helios network. This networks allows for direct communication of the minds between all humans and Helios. All cognitive capacity will become available to all human beings. You will become infinetely smarter and you'll gain infinetely more knowledge. All the knowledge of humanity will be available to everyone.
2:47 - 'Once every mind has been enhanced.' - Who decides what is an enhancement? Why are they changing people's brains?
He he means there is the enhancement of our DNA to accept nanotechnological augmentations, which allows the Helios merger to complete and the transhuman Helios network to be established. So everyone's DNA needs to be enhanced first. After that, all human minds can be connected to the Helios network, and humanity will be ascended to transhumanism. That's how it works in Deus Ex and I assume synthesis in Mass Effects works similar.
Changing people's brains to match your vision is what brainwashing is. This looks exactly like that.
Like I said, nobodies brains are enhanced, only their DNA, so nanotechnological augmentations is possible for everyone and not only a selected few humans with the proper DNA.
Furthermore he gives no explanation of how such a system actually works. Only loose and waffly talk about how everyone will benefit. In reality it appears that it's a system like our governements today - but being ran by a computer instead.
Almost. The Helios A.I. will indeed replace all governmental functions, but the Helios A.I. will recieve input from all human minds and it's processes will be adapter accordingly. A true democracy will be born, where by merely thinking something, you make yourself heard and your opinions and desires will be taken in consideration by Helios.
Helios will act like the mind of God. Not forcing us, but merely listening to us and trying to fill our needs and fullfill our wishes.
That is hardly a 'consensus' nor will it prevent conflict between organics/synthetics in the MEverse.
It is the most perfect consensus possible and it will most certainly prevent conflict between organics and synthetics, of both are hooked up to transpecies neural network similar to the Helios network in Deus Ex.
Actually Occam's razor is perfectly valid. Brainwashing is a simpler explanation which fits the evidence.
It's not a simpler explanation.
And what evidence? What evidence are you talking about? There is no evidence for brainwashing, merely speculation on your part.
Speculation and wild guesses =/= evidence, lol!
it will ensure peace because after being brainwashed, the organics and synthetics hold no animosity towards each other. they are brainwashed into pacificity and aren't aggressive anymore.
Brainwashed by who? And who controls these individuals after they're brainwashed? And what evidence do you have to support this wild claim? EDI most certainly did not seem brainwashed in the synthesis ending, nor did any other crewmember of the Normandy look brainwashed.
Look up brainwashinjg in real life please. People who are brainwashed function 100% perfectly as they would otherwise with exception to what they were brainwashed into thinking/doing.
Not true. Brainwashed people are the most intolerant people I've ever met. When you're brainwashed, you're no longer open-minded nor tolerant. Brainwashing does not end conflict, it causes conflict.
Also, brainwashed people refuse to learn. They only seek confort in the ideals they so strongly believe in. If we look at EDI, she tells us that now, after synthesis, the technological advancements of the galaxy are bigger than ever before. Such a thing would not happen if the entire galaxy was indeed brainwashed.
And again, one has to ask: Who brainwashed them and who controls the brainwashing?
You don't have to physically control brainwashed people. Once brainwashed from the start they are independent.
Not true. In real-life, if you do have a cult and you don't actively keep brainwashing and controlling your followers on a daily basis, your followers will eventually "wake up" and realize that they have been brainwashed all the time.
The effects of brainwashing will slowly disappear, unless someone or something actively keeps brainwashing the population.
It's not absurd necessarily (although synthesis is terrible), you only think so because you don't fully understand what brainwashing actually means. Please, look it up. you might agree afterwards.
I know perfectly well what brainwashing is, perhaps better than you do. You assume that brainwashing actively wipes the mind of an individual clean of ideologies and ideas and replaces it's mind with new ideologies and ideas. Such a thing is not possible (in real-life) and that's not how brainwashing works (in real-life).
In real-life, in order to brainwash a person and keep him brainwashed, you need to keep tight control over that person. Without that control, the brainwashing effects will eventually work out and the individual will revert back to it's previous state before he was brainwashed.
Brainwashing is no different from indoctrination really. Indoctrination was caused and controlled by the reapers. Once the reapers are gone, the indoctrination effect works out.
So again, I have to ask, who causes the indoctrination in synthesis, who keeps the indoctrination active and who is in control of the indoctrinated individuals?
Retour en haut
He might respect control but Synthesis? Not seeing it. At all. Not even remotely.
