Hi Estebanus! Posted Image What's happening here?

Well, I've been saying that Synthesis as an ending choice is disgusting and wrong, but if it were to be achieved naturally, then it is indeed something great.

Just read the last few pages to get the gist of what I mean.

Oh I see. It looks to me like the discussion is no longer if synthesis is good or bad, it's a flawed discussion because people are using different interpretations of the same word. Mass confusion happens. I think both sides raise good points, but it doesn't matter, because it doesn't look like you're arguing the same thing anymore.

I hate to bring it to you people, but obvious future of the galaxy is empty vastness of nothingness. The stars will die, turning to supernovas, and supermassive black holes will eventually consume all.

Oh, and the Milky Way will collide with another galaxy.

You know what will happen when it does? Nothing. Posted Image

Yeah, that's kinda the problem. I was arguin synthesis from a real life perspective and how it's good if humans achieve it by themselves, while others argue from an ending choice perspective, I think.

How does having a hammer as hand make the person less human/organic, and thus, something "new"? Please stop it with the LA LA LAND kind of thinking. I can only take so much.

Also, Any one remember the interview with Lence Henricsen about him doing lines for the EC?

There was something very curious there -

THe way he phrased it - the way it was in ME3 proper, when player LOSES the game in the end, it ends rather abruptly, with just the words "the end". - so naturally players got confused and concerned, and so that is why they are making the EC

Wait what?


True story. 

"I just did another session with them...They were saying there's a little bit of a problem with the abruptness of the ending," Henriksen said, "So we did a whole series of things to add to the end of the game, to live up to the quality they've been doing.""Usually, when a guy loses the game, the game shuts down; it's over. It's done. The players don't like that," Henriksen adds.

Not a problem for me, I got enough la la land with ME3 ending.

While there won't be crashing of stars there likely will be complete gravitational chaos. Planets may fly out of thier orbits. The rotation will be all screwed up. Addresses will be jacked beyond repair.

Wait, I said I'd leave didn't I. When I try to get out...

As a matter of fact, it doesn't. The hammer is made out of wood and iron, which are both organic materials.

A hammer isn't a real replacemnet for a hand. You can't compare anything like a hammer to something as sophisticated and innovative as a fully controllable synthetic hand. It is more or less a part of you. You are no longer fully organic.

I could say the same of you. Maybe we're both in denial. Maybe we're both wrong. Maybe we're both right.

However, Synthesis hasn't really occured yet, so I can't compare it with real life situations, can I?

Btw demersel, humanity's cognitive ability is what gives us the capacity to do a neat trick called time binding, in short the ability to place events in sequential order, giving us the ability to understand causality. That's how we can master fire.


Neanderthals also had cognitive ability, so it is not uniqe to the humanity. And in the world of Mass Effect, there are lots and lots of other spicies that have it. So it may not be humanities defining trait. The ones i gave you however can, since they are uniqe to humanity.

What I term "organic" is simply what an entity becomes through natural evolution only. If something develops a hammerhand on its own, it is organic. If it is added, it is...synthetic? Pretty simple mindset.

From my view, none of the ones anyone said are really specific to humanity in ME.

Uh, no they aren't both organic materials. An organic material has to have been living cells at one point of time and able to decay. Such as plants and animals. Iron isn't an organic material.  :blush:

That's one way of looking at it. However, from a scientific point of view, one might disagree.

What I'm saying is that if part of you is synthetic, be it an implant or a limb, you're no longer fully organic. One might disagree with that, but that is another topic entirely.

I was worried they were going to disprove the theory, so I'm happy if they're leaving it ambiguous at least for now.


The impression I got from speaking to Jessica and Chris is that they are going to keep it ambiguous FOREVER.

I can't even explain is words how much I would hate that. That's far worse than disproving IT IMO. What do you guys think?

 
IMO, better than continuing the series with synthesis.

"The body of the Leviathan, especially his eyes, possesses great illuminating power. This was the opinion of R. Eliezer, who, in the course of a voyage in company with R. Joshua, explained to the latter, when frightened by the sudden appearance of a brilliant light, that it probably proceeded from the eyes of the Leviathan. He referred his companion to the words of Job xli. 18: "By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning" (B. B. l.c.).

 
Most likely a coincidence but sounds like a Reaper.

Who cares if its a hammer or a metal/plastic version of a hand controllable through muscle twitching, whatever material it is, it came from the ground and is not organic. Our organic parts may have the building blocks of ground/water material, but wood, iron, metal, plastic, etc. is not organic. You may no longer have the full package of a human body, but it makes you no less human than another. You still are essentially organic.
