Cinema vs Simulation
Просмотров 6667 месяцев назад
This is a story about the purpose of cinema and simulation. A likely story, a model, that explains why these technologies emerged and how we should use them to better understand ourselves and the world. The idea for this video was inspired by my conversations with Andreas Kleanthous, who's currently working on an open source research project on the "black box" problem in AI. I highly recommend ...

    God is real. Rust is wrong. He is just a character, a way to push atheist propaganda. I love the show, love Rust, but disagree with the atheistic point of view. Honor, duty, right & wrong only make sense in a world view where there is a God.

      Yeah the show has a profoundly powerfully positive message. Yet it seem like the guy making video wanted to just only focus on the negative. “I think the light is winning” is his final position at the end of the show

      Based “One who does nothing but think has nothing to think about but thought”. I like philosophy but I also think too many people get wrapped in over thought. Truth is fairly obvious and widespread. It is innate. It need not be discovered

      a different and simple way of saying this is "it/s not that deep, it/s just in our minds" but yeah things like philosophy are something that plays a major role in building one/s personality and character.

    When scientific observation becomes disembodied from ecstatic truth we sink back into primordial chaos, but even after our world is shattered, even after our understanding is negated, even after it seems that nothing can provide meaning or unite us with others, there still lies an essential human truth that can only be found in the brilliant darkness of a hidden silence. It is up to us to embody that human truth-we are desperately feeling in the dark and trying to communicate with others and sometimes out of the chaotic and different world around us we can recognize ourselves in someone else and someone else in ourselves and in those moments we are no longer alone.

    Yeah, I feel like I totally see Cohle's approach...Saying certain things with such guarantee that no one would be able to shake that off without practically discarding the theory, but also being part of that same group who'd throw away the nihilistic reality in order to be naturally governed by their 'programming' per se, which they understand to be true for themselves, regardless of the greater reality that has been presented to them with such reason and thought....It's like reading a book about a character, accepting that they're the best written character ever and everyone should look up to them and try to be like them, and then closing off the book and then continue living as the same old person that you were, just with the greater knowledge of what could be different or better.

    I watched this show when it was released. I was mesmerized by it--the visuals, the stylistic choices, the characters--but I didn't understand it on any sort of meaningful level. I've gone back and rewatched it a few times, each time, seeing more, understanding more. Now, having survived a series of great hardships in RL, I find myself dwelling on Rust's perspective, and agreeing with it more and more. Before I delve into another rewatch, I've been prepping for it--watching reaction videos and interpretative videos like this. I appreciate your insight, and look forward to viewing other content by you, as this was truly a pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing it.
