but 3D, outside of "understanding" the synthetics better, we are never really given in depth as to what exactly changes. From the looks of the scenes added by the EC, the species are still seperate and distinct, we all didn't change to become the same obviously, but seems more like we were "enhanced" technoorganicallyso that we "perceive" things in a better relation I guess. I'm not 100% sure.
I always just likened it a universal "ahh I see..." kind of thing.
What 3D is referring to is the literal definition of the word "synthesis." It means to combine to things that are dissimilar into one new thing. By definition that can't happen naturally ... which implies that ME3 Synthesis can't - and never will - happen naturally
There is more also implied and even said about sythesis other than just understanding. That's a technological singularity, but that isn't what the kid is talking about here. I think people misinterpret it.
He says organics seek perfection through tech, synthetics through understanding. Synthetics gain understanding of organics-so they understand organics, doesn't mean they won't go all killer robot anyway. I understand a spider but I still may step on it. And synthetics still have green "eyes".
Organics will integrate fully with synthetic technology-that's what they kid says. He does not say to merely gain intelligence. What he says would always have to be done artificially. There is no way it would spontaneously occur. If some day synthetic material ever naturally existed within us, that's not synthetic anymore, nor would it be synthesis.
The whole statement that synthesis is some pinnacle of evolution is a contradiction in terms. If you adjust it to say people will one day spontaneously grow tech parts-well that might occur in some odd future but tech by virtue of what it is is synthetic so it's hard to see it would one day just happen.
The possibility may well exist that in some future our bodies may chemically adjust to where our thinking becomes more linear and our brains become more binary and more tech-like, but even that is a stretch since how we so far use tech is in adapting it to our needs rather than adapting to the abilities of tech. The kid sees tech as an endstate that we adapt through the use of tech and its abilities, but people today see tech as adapting to us and our needs. I think that's a difference. Perfection through tech would have tech be intuitively what we want it to be. It would not be tech that we want to become. I'm just saying you don't want to be like your car, you want your car to adapt to your needs.
The kid sees perfection through tech as integration with tech, but people see it more as using tech. I see that as a difference.
The thing is people don't so much like to change as they like to change their environment and how they "interface" with it. Tech is a tool and synthesis as ME3 shows it would have people adapt to or with tech, not the other way around.
Consider this. I'd like to fly. One day people may sprout wings. The wings would stem from organic material and be a product of evolution. In order for the wings to be synthetically based, people would somehow have to suddenly within their bodies be able to grow circuits and some material like aluminum or such for the wings to grow. Our bodies would have to become tech assembly lines that could fully integrate that with the organic part of us. But that then would become a natural process.
