Inevitable means that it's certain to happen. No, it's not certain to happen, even if it's convinient. It's not in any way needed. Even with people being obsessed with smartphones these days (me included) I don't see the majority getting cybernetic implants still.

Anyway, again, I'm not really sure what you're getting at. You've already said synthesis at it is in ME3 isn't inevitable. And if only half of everything is synthesized how does that solve anything (anything synthesis solves all problems?).

You've talked about how symbiosis is just human cynetics but how do computers become alive?

Imagine, how many lives could be saved by "not stopping the Saren".


Heh, would render 2 games, several books/comics and a lot of gameplay choices pretty moot eh? And essentially reduce the player to the role of the villain.

I'll stick with the fake dead Jedi is lying for $300 Alex. :)

As long as we are tool users and technologiaclly advance, it will happen. The only way it can't happen is if our development no longer dependent on tools.

And to fly in space, we need to be technologically advance and use tools.

No, it has nothing to do with force.   They are two terms used to describe two different things. 

Symbiosis is, "Interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association, typically to the advantage of both."

Synthesis is "the combining of separate elements or substances to form a coherent whole."

In Symbiosis, the two things that are joined maintain their identity.   In Synthesis, the things that are combined become something new. 

These are two different definitions.     When you are in high school chemistry lab, if you combine vinegar and baking soda, you are "synthesising" a new molecule.    That is not the same as a symbiotic relationship that exists between two species. 

If you don't believe me, then just remember I told you so when you get an F in Chemistry.

I thought it was inevitable that synthetics would wipe out organics if the reapers didnt intervine?

But synthesis is also inevitable? wat


lying piece of ****


ps, destroy

The catalyst never said that.


Without us to stop it ,synthetics would destory all organics. 02.04
It is the ideal solution.now that we know it is possible, it is inevitable we will reach synthesis. 10.57

But we don't need to fly in space and we don't need to become cyborgs to do so...

1. Who said anything about becoming cyborgs?
2.The meu they are already in space.
3.With the population growth wehave right now...We better getto space.

My point is we , right now are extremely dependent on our tech and it's quickly evolving. We already have cybernetic agments in develoment. In the meu, these agments are many time over refinded.
Because ofout depndence onour tech, naturally that dependence will grow as this tech get better. The only way sysnthsis will not happen is if we no longer can develop our tech. Same case with the meu. That means going back to a natuarl state or our tech devolops in a form ofan electriacal chemical state, aka Like Leto II from dune or biobuster armor Guyver .

With out these ratical changes, a tech symbiosis is going to happen.

You're missing the fact here that even Shepard is part organic and part machine.

The starchild argued that organics and synthethics needed to merge to co-exist peacefully. You're arguing something completely different and highly speculative and subjective.

Organics need to defeat the Reapers to survive. Doesn't mean victory is inevitable.

This is not true.  in the MEU, it is posed that AI's will become better than organic life.    In real life, our bodies and minds are more complex and house more unlocked potential than you can possibly ever dream. 

In our lifetime, we have grown to understand ALOT about our potential.   We can even do insane things like grow new noses on peoples arms. ( http://www.telegraph...in-his-arm.html )
But if you look at it in perspective, we only know what 5% of the human DNA does.  The other 95% is a complete mystery.  

To think that what we create will always become better than what we can become severely underestimates what we are and what we can do.     I see it the other way around.   What we make will never become greater than what we are or what we can become.   The possibilities of what humanity can do is limitless.   The possibilities of what we create will always be limited by the purposes those creations are made for.

Saren

Let's remember the final minutes of ME1. Geth occupiled the Council Chamber. Saren left all geth behind to finish the job himself. At the same time, Nazara phisically attached itself to the Citadel Tower.

Q: If Saren wanted only to hack the system to allow the Citadel to be used as Mass Relay again, why not send a geth to the console, and go back to try to delay Shepard?
A: Geth couldn't perform the task Saren wanted to perform, so it wasn't just a system hack. It was something more.

Q: Something more?
A: Saren was about to "talk" to the Catalyst, and required some time for that "conversation". But he was interupted by Shepard's squad, and so had to fight.

Q: How did Saren knew about the Catalyst?
A: It's possible that the Catalyst recognized Saren's potential, and introduced itself eventually.

Q: Saren's potential?
A: Yes, the same as Shepard's potential - an "organic anomaly".

Q: And what was the point of conversation between the Catalyst and Saren?
A: The same as in case of Shepard - try to find the new solution together.

Q: But there is no Crucible. How could they implement the solution?
A: Nazara connected itself to the Citadel Tower plysically. Saren and the Geth were already inside, so Nazara's goal wasn't system hacking. Reaper dreadnoughts clearly have overpowered energy sources to generate such strong shields and mass effect fields. Nazara could be repurposed before to be used as a Crucible analogy.

Q: Repurposed when and by who?
A: Before the attack on the Citadel, by Saren, Geth, and Nazara itself.

Q: But Saren was already indoctrinated. What's next?
A: Saren clearly wouldn't given Control option, because indoctrinated persons can't be used as a material to create the new Catalyst. Also Saren wouldn't given Destory option, because he didn't want to Destroy the Reapers. So, it's clear that Saren could have only two options available: sacrifice himself to trigger Synthesis, or refuse.

Interesting, isn't it?... Don't you find Saren's attack on the Citadel in ME1 similar to Shepard's attack on Earth in ME3? Both gathered allies to provide a distraction. Both used a "back door" to reach a "hidden consol". The difference is that Saren failed, when was interrupted by Shepard. But Shepard didn't fail, when was interrupted by TIM.



The Illusive Man

Les't remember the final minutes of ME3. TIM was on the Citadel and tried to mind-control wounded Shepard, but failed. Shepard managed to deal with TIM, and proceed.

Q: But what if TIM wouldn't fail? What will he do next?
A: Talk to the Catalyst obviously.

Q: But TIM was already indoctrinated. What's next?
A: TIM clearly wouldn't given Control option, because indoctrinated persons can't be used as a material to create the new Catalyst. Also TIM wouldn't given Destory option, because he didn't want to Destroy the Reapers. So, it's clear that TIM could have only two options available: sacrifice himself to trigger Synthesis, or refuse.

Both Saren and TIM aren't look like refusers. They would sacrifice themselves for the greater good without any doubts, no matter they are both pure renegades. So maybe we actually interrupted Synthesis attempt in ME1 without even knowing about that? And did exactly the same thing in ME3 in case if Shepard didn't choose Synthesis ending?



Maybe Synthesis is indeed the inevitable thing no matter how we delay it, by Refusing, by Destorying, or by Controlling? The history will always repeat itself till the final solution will be applied.



P.S. Even considering everything that was said above, I still prefer Control ending Image IPB 


Your idea about Saren is an incredible stretch of logic, but your idea about the Illusive Man being forced to choose Synthesis isn't a bad idea.

1. No.  A person with an artifical arm is not a cyborg. Nor is a person with a gray box.

1. Wikipedia and dictionary.com beg to differ.

"A cyborg, short for "cybernetic organism", is a being with both organic and cybernetic parts."

"a person whose physiological functioning is aided by or dependent upon a mechanical or electronic device."

What is your definition of a cyborg?

2/3. Again, what is your point? Frankly it doesn't seem to have much to do with synthesis or ME3.

I just qouted to you the verbatum definitions of Synthesis and Symbiosis.   They are different, they are not the same.   How much more explaining do you need?

Your going to have to understand that the english language uses different words to describe different concepts.   Synthesis is used to describe one concept , analogous to

X + Y = Z

Symbiosis is used to describe a different concept, analogous to

X + Y = XY


I could go get my college biology books and verbatum qoute them too, but they aren't going to be much different. 

Endosymbiotic Theory is a theory, not a word that can be simply defined within a dictionary.

It may be "inevitable" but it is not evolution. It will not be incorporated into natural biology.

This is far different than growing new noses and organs from stem cells, and even these are only available to those who have the money to afford them. Or would these augmentations be made free to all? Don't make me laugh.

They made it sound like such a utopia when in fact this so-called inevitability would end up a dystopia. It will not be available to people like you and me. It will be available to the upper classes of society. The decision makers. The rest of us will be left to wallow in slums serving our augmented masters.

The only way it is evolution is if nature decides to make it so by incorporating these things you speak of on a genetic level. This synthesis between organic and machine is not inevitable. And where would it end? Would you control the machine or would the machine control you? Or in the end would you be the machine and lose yourself in the process?

Synthesis isthe combination of oranic and sythetic down to the dna.

That's x+y=xy

Symbiosis , as you said  , is x+y=xy

That is what you're not getting.
Synthesis is this...

And they'd have to build another "Intelligence" to solve the "problem" again. I don't think that is going to be happening. At least not for a very very long time. Meanwhile, Shepard will be dead, and won't care.
