I have an uncle who works for the FBI. Years ago, my parents were watching a movie with him. It had something to do with military tech and my dad joke about how realistic do they think it was. My uncle just looked at him and said that, any movie that involves the US military and showcases some kind of new weapon or tech, that had likely already been around/used by the military for the years before the movie was made. I think about that a lot.

They did but they completely dropped the whole "show different aspects of society effected by dystopian governments and technology" thing and instead just made it into an anthology series. It's not nearly as good or interesting anymore, really sucks because it was my favorite show ever.
Every season had hit or miss episodes. Its a good show for nostalgia, because you remember the ones that really hit, but forget the other half the missed the mark.
But all of the storylines are things no one wants to accept....like I don't want to live in a single episode except the one where the two girls die and put their brains in the computer or whatever....maaaaaybr
The crazy part is The most of the tech shit being introduced to us as of lately is totally unnecessary ! Coming up in the 2000’s & 2010’s the technologies given to us were helpful life changing. Now the shit in just pointless, making us lazy, dependent, non resourceful, no privacy, paranoid(ring doorbells) ..etc
That's how I feel about the internet. Growing up in the 2000's, the internet was awesome and I loved it, but seeing what it has morphed into since the 2010's, I feel like the world would be a much better place if it had never been invented.
I really love listening to the "getting blocked" Part in the video. Not many people talk about getting blocked from loved ones, mates, and even friends online and lasting impacts that it can have. And to hear about it explained from a show like Black Mirror no doubt, on point and amazing. I do wish to see more video like this.
Diogenes was knee deep in a stream washing vegetables. Coming up to him, Plato said, "My good Diogenes, if you knew how to pay court to kings, you wouldn't have to wash vegetables." "And," replied Diogenes, "If you knew how to wash vegetables, you wouldn't have to pay court to kings."

Exactly this, it's to start the slow process of getting everyone to accept their new reality and to give them a sense of inevitability, making any kind of mass disobedience less likely.
what part of it's based of a real thing did you not get? two other shows referenced china's idea before black mirror did.... so annoying how people keep parroting this comment. like you did something
I think about this episode a lot. Eventually I stopped using social media. And if our society instills a social credit system, I'll stop using society too.

Paying an AI company to replicate a loved one’s dead voice is not borderline creepy. It’s just creepy, also very disrespectful to a dead friend or relative.
@@jessicakakern4571 Exactly. If they're profiting from your grief they have no incentive to help you recover, and every incentive to addict you to their "aid".
It really depends who is doing it doesn’t it? The sad part about amazing technology is how easy it is to use it for nefarious purposes. We want to see and believe in the best in people but it only takes a fraction of a percentage to pervert and ruin the system. In most situations it’s a very creepy thing but Star Wars bought the image of an actor and used cgi to add him into a movie after his death but people still love Disney… what if the closure of hearing a dead loved one’s voice could save someone’s life? It’s could also ruin many others. Who dictates the line and who can cross it?
Man I just wanna say, I really appreciate what you’re doing. I’ve seen a lot of your videos about TikTok (and how bad it is), and you’ve helped me stop watching as much shit on a screen. I read more now, go out without my phone, spend more time actually talking to people, and generally have a better quality of life thanks partly to your videos. You’re a great guy, please keep doing what you’re doing. ❤
I can't bring myself to start reading, unfortunately. I don't have a smartphone and I've never watched RUclips shorts. Since I don't have a phone I interact a large amount with people when I meet them. I've exercised running 4 times a week, lifting twice a week, no drugs, no alcohol, no tobacco ever since I was 16, that's more than half a decade now. But for the life of me I can't bring myself to start reading!
@@56jasa You're ignorant. Strong body, Weak mind.. pathetic. Nothing stopping you from training yourself to have patience with reading. 5 min 1 day every few days until it's comfortable. Bump it up to 10 min 2 or 3 times a week And so on.
@@56jasa Great work man, I think a good way to commit to reading (if you want to) is to just do it when you can. Maybe when you’re about to go to sleep or after you get home from work, or if you don’t have a family then do it through meal times. Good luck :)
I think the main issue isn't technology, it's that society hasn't advanced spiritually or continued a vital relationship to nature and the rest of the world as fast as we've advanced technologically. Again, just an opinion.
It's scary how human life being more government property. And judge people by numbers is definitely unfair. Those who make it like that, should be judged.
I’ve recently heard from someone who’s been accused of causing a major RTC in Yorkshire while the car was parked at work a hundred miles away. He’s guilty until he can prove his innocence. Now, extrapolate that…
The Chinese "Social Credit Score" is just a copy of the America Fisco score, but with a twist. It doesn't matter how high your score is you would still be treated unfairly. For example the Social Credit score help Chinese people with the highest score to get a shorter waiting list for medical care, but you can just bypass the whole system if you have ties to the Chinese Communist Party. It turns out that the Social Credit score is a useless system that if you try to be a good citizen by reporting corruption in your local government "police station, mayors, province leader" to Beijing you would ultimately lose credit score because those corrupt officials have ties to the CCP. There is no point in having this system when corruption is everywhere in China from the highest to the lowest.
Can’t say I agree with the whole ‘ai voice to help with grief’ thing. I think modern society has made a bad habit of holding onto the past too much as is, the day we’re able to truly re-manifest the past inside the present is the day aspirations for the future disappear. This human tendency to want to pause the natural cycle of life is having unforeseen consequences on our development as a species, and in a way which will I think weaken us in the end. Life is not meant to be spent living inside memories that resemble shadows more than reality.
Yup, but people just don't want to let go of their past, it's human nature that's why they want time machines to fix their past, but that's not how it supposed to be, we should looking be forward for the future 😢
I've read a book that has been written thousands of years ago, and it says that this will happen. Every day I look around, and I see its prophecy being fulfilled. I have to say, don't fork your humanity for popularity, fame, or fortune. This society will be a classless border less, and One World Religion. It will be hard to survive in this society, for without this "score, mark" you wont be able to buy or sell, you will be frowned upon by this society until you give in.
You think that because you haven't seen what the Vocaloid technology has done for a decade. It unlocks the potential of musicians and allows many more people to write and produce songs without a singer. AI is the next step and make the process even easier. Technology allows us to get better and things like VPNs allow us to escape the ever expanding government power the same way Vocaloid allows artists to produce music without a dedicated singer.
I've watched his videos, but I watched Ziet Guist 12 years ago too. There's a lot of sht going on, just putting the phone down leads to still being surrounded by people craned over and out of touch. If I do try to talk to a person, they respond like a troll on the Internet, completely out of touch with reality. For example "um I'm a minotaur, I'd appreciate it if you addressed me correctly. Thanx🤚!" Or "Did you just assume my gender!?!". Plus one day there will be reprimands of not complying. Such as getting scided, just dying mysteriously or worse disappearing. What do you really think will happen if you disappear, that someone will create enough ruckus to get the news to care? No, they will get distracted and you will be considered ded. Meanwhile you're in a room off the grid with people who want to "study" the human body, like, how long can a person survive without air? What does it do to the nervous system to operate with a fully conscious person without anesthesia? Or to boil them fully conscious without anesthesia? This may sound extreme, yet it already has happened and most likely never stopped, the media can say whatever they want to you. So either you comply or you run. People are still not seeing the whole picture anyway.
This whole process can easily be overwritten in the minds of men by remembering this one mantra... it's best to speak it out loud using the voice of the great "I am". "I will govern my own ment"!!! You're welcome to whomever needed to read this. Be your own author. Bow to no other authority. Do not sell your birthright
Hey, I was thinking that the book "The GIver" by Lois Lowry could be perfect for a video of a warning, cuz for example, everyone lives in Sameness, no real emotions exist and Jonas (protagonist) is the only one who experiments a "real life". Also some great points could be that war was once portraited as a game, but Jonas was the only one who understood what was the "true meaning" of the game. Hope you read this and give it a chance.
Finally!! Black Mirror isn’t just my favorite Tv but an all time favorite. It isn’t just the future a soon to be reality. Everything about it is what about to happen or already a reality
I wish you would've brought up the episode with the robotic bees and how they were easily taken over and used for evil. One of my favorite episodes was the one where the girl wakes up everyday and is reliving the same day and then you find out the entire town is on it bc of what her and her bf did to an innocent little girl.
What sucks is those who need to see these videos and see how much is actually morphing to fit the new world that the elites want will not see it or will get offended when you share this stuff with them. It’s crazy. But we gotta keep sharing
Black Mirror is such an indirectly informational show, but its been tipping down ever since Bandersnatch. This season, someone thought it would be a great idea to introduce werewolves. Like... what?
Contrary to what some like to think, Black Mirror is and always has been a WARNING about the dystopian future we were all passively sleep walking into.. unlike predictive-programming it was always focused on dissecting these contemporary technologies and ideas from an ethical and philosophical perspective, trying to open our eyes to these very new, very real existential threats we would soon be faced with. It truly helped to open my own eyes to the dangers of tech, and steered me in a good direction, among many others, away from tech dependence and towards moment to moment, holistic living. It also opened my eyes to the scientific field of Futurism (real life Black Mirror), of which I have tried to use to warn others to no avail... most people are so intoxicated and hypnotised by their devices that they would rather not know about our impending doom if left unabated. Most people, I've noticed, are too afraid to even have the conversation, better yet consider some concrete changes. Hence why I will be heading for the mountains with other likeminded souls sooner rather than later, this dystopian future will not be my future, I will return to nature where we all truly belong...
Good, but then you still use the internet to voice your opinion. Technology is a double-edged sword, it comes with both good and bad predictions at the same time
The director himself has said Black Mirror is not a warning against technology or about a prediction on the future, but about people today and uses people's relationship to technology to highlight human flaws. It's called Black Mirror, because if you turn off your device, it becomes a black screen (mirror) where you can view your own reflection. The show is about you, not the tech. Technology isn't scary, humans are. The lack of media literacy in this video and the people in the comments is one example of flaws with humans, they assume things are true without fact checking because it confirms their bias, and then they spread misinformation. Thus, social media isn't the source for misinformation, but rather humans tendency to jump to conclusions and social media can amplify it. It's an important distinction to make, because it lets us realize the solution lies with us. Humanity is the problem. We have fundamental flaws in our biology and some socially contructed, so it's important to study them rather than condemn the technology. This common misconception is also the reason why the Director has started making episodes where technology is almost absent, like in Season 6. I still can't believe it's 2023, and I have have to explain this. Then again, it's humans we're talking about.
@@deepseadarew6012 be that as it may, art is a two step process. The second being the consumption and interpretation of the art (whatever the medium). Good art should cover multiple angles and be interpreted in different ways at different times as perspective is required. Eyes on.
Humans are designed to function at a camels pace. Things have been speeding up the last few hundred years but now it’s getting to the point where it isn’t just stressful any more, it’s straight up dysfunctional and dehumanizing.
No, Alex Jones did. It's introduced to popular culture when it's time to precondition people, so that anyone who tries to warn people will get laughed at for watching too many movies.
The "webcam" episode starring Ser Bronn of Blackwater legitimately unsettled me. Not just because of the subject material, but knowing that even when that episode was new several years ago, there was NOTHING in it that couldn't be done then and done more efficiently TODAY. At least no one can hold us at gunpoint and force us to install smart contact lenses into our eyeballs... at least not yet. We *were* for the large and most part forced to get a certain shot not too long ago...
Netflix watered it down when they bought it after season 3. The first 3 seasons are some of the greatest media I have ever seen, these brilliant and terrifying episodes are enough to shake a person out of a coma. There are things that I've enjoyed about the later seasons but at it's start it was punk rock, it was eff everything and down with the system. It's still entertaining but it's kind of slowly and very disappointingly turning into what it was created to resist.
I'm only a minute in, but I'm so glad you chose this episode.I love black mirror, but a lot of it's themes rely heavy on fantastical technology. This episode was always the one that stuck out to me as basically just modern society in a few steps. The analogies were definitely there before, but it is now becoming reality.
From what I know about the social credit score, if you get too low then you are locked at that level and can’t move up for a certain amount of time, and that time increases the lower your score is making it impossible to move up, further trapping those at the bottom of society
You know that Uber implemented similar system relative to the Chinese ones where a driver or riders can rate each other depending on their behaviors or actions. So the future is pretty much now.
@@manuelcalavera7272 I forgot to add to note that the system itself can be used for both good and bad so it can depend on how the company utilizes it for consumer’s needs or for political motives.
You know you're screwed when telling it like it is makes the people around you resent you and ostracize you. If that becomes adopted as the social norm, we have little hope of recovery until the collapse of our current culture.
The second you started describing the social credit score and Black mirror, I honestly thought it sounded more like current credit scores with in America. Combined a little bit with the social credit score score from china
I lost my dad when I was twenty four, he has missed my university redemption, family loss, life. How can an AI give me any of that? Complex emotions, feeling, understanding? And why I even consider letting a greeedy tech giant have any of his info? Just sounds like a horror movie.
Well us has credit score and coupled with backlash in all areas people get for not holding the currently "correct" option, we are not too far off The Chinese system just seems to be a more streamlined version conveying the same information
Technology is ruined society. Remember the days the only way to contact people was house phone and in most cases you get people. With mobile phones people rarely answer their mobile phones they would rather text or social media messages
Lest anyone thinks "It couldn't happen here in the US!": we've had a TSA travel blacklist since 2001 and you have no idea if you're on it until you're blocked from travel, how you got on it, or how to get off of it. It has already happened here it just isn't as expansive. Yet.
You should do an episode about how “cabin in the woods” predicted the current state of movies. The people in the room are the executives, and the old gods or the giant hand is capitalism forcing movies to be a shallow formula. I think there’s a lot there.
I thought the scariest Black Mirror episode was when the robot dog hunts that lady. She is so smart, resourceful, and determined, but they still get her in the end. It was Terminator without the hope.
I hope the Future will be better, than Black Mirror. I just hope everything will be alright. Thanks for the effort you put in here, I really apreciate your content.
I used to feel bad that I wouldn’t live to see the incredible future Star Trek portrayed. I now recognize, as I couldn’t as an eight-year-old boy laying on the floor, hands clasped behind my head, watching Star Trek in black-and-white, that Gene Rodenberry was a naïve fool. There was never any reason to believe that the future of mankind would be rosey.
@@dig-i-talj1m475 I chuckle. Then sigh. because I realize that people are becoming measurably, demonstrably, stupider with each new generation. No! No! OMG! That was not a reference to you. I meant, I chuckled at your comment. Then I sighed because I realized people in general are getting stupider. just now reading it it occurred to me you might’ve taken it in a way I didn’t intend. Sorry.
VICE on HBO interviewed the engineers that helped create the social credit system in China and they literately got the inspiration for it from Black Mirror.
Here is simple way to predict the future: Is the tech possible? and how would you use it to subjugate other people? The answer is what the powerful (government + rich people) will do always. Then the other question: What tech is possible? and how could good people use it to make the world a better place? Then you know what no one is going to do, because everyone is just as evil and greedy as the powerful.
They’re showing us what new technology they are going to publish to the public through these shows, we have just been programmed to think that this is just a “show” so we think that this is simply a coincidence. No wonder they call it television, because they’re literally telling you their vision. Crazy bruh
Honestly, day-by-day i get happier with my decision to delete all social media and spending a lot less time on screens and technology outside of my job or basic relax time like RUclips like this. I definitely see how the world is becoming worse with all this social media and social status driven society. Though I am not fully happy, I can safely say I am definitely happier without social media and too advanced technology invading my life.
Same. I wish I'd been a teen in the 50's. People rattle on about how restrictive that era was, but it kept society in order, unlike the total chaos we live in now. Also, I just like the aesthetic of things from that era. Like, the cars from back then are works of art on wheels. Today's cars are ugly pieces of sh!t.
The social credit score happening in real life is terrifying. If big brother is always watching he needs to be a cool big brother and not be an uptight by the book turd. Let people live.

That's how I feel about the internet. Growing up in the 2000's, the internet was awesome and I loved it, but seeing what it has morphed into since the 2010's, I feel like the world would be a much better place if it had never been invented.
I really love listening to the "getting blocked" Part in the video. Not many people talk about getting blocked from loved ones, mates, and even friends online and lasting impacts that it can have. And to hear about it explained from a show like Black Mirror no doubt, on point and amazing.
I do wish to see more video like this.
Thank you Moon. Creating such content takes time, and we love it! Straight forward, no bullshit and well written.

Yes! Would love to see a part 2. Black Mirror has so much to explore.
What a generic bot response 🙄
Diogenes was knee deep in a stream washing vegetables. Coming up to him, Plato said, "My good Diogenes, if you knew how to pay court to kings, you wouldn't have to wash vegetables." "And," replied Diogenes, "If you knew how to wash vegetables, you wouldn't have to pay court to kings."

Then quit RUclips. It is a social media too. Almost everything on the internet is social media.
Paying an AI company to replicate a loved one’s dead voice is not borderline creepy. It’s just creepy, also very disrespectful to a dead friend or relative.
It's disrespectful for the grieving party as well. And if a company is incentivize by ones grief, they will want them to stay grieving forever
@@jessicakakern4571 Exactly. If they're profiting from your grief they have no incentive to help you recover, and every incentive to addict you to their "aid".
It's not just creepy, it's an abomination and immoral.
It really depends who is doing it doesn’t it? The sad part about amazing technology is how easy it is to use it for nefarious purposes. We want to see and believe in the best in people but it only takes a fraction of a percentage to pervert and ruin the system. In most situations it’s a very creepy thing but Star Wars bought the image of an actor and used cgi to add him into a movie after his death but people still love Disney… what if the closure of hearing a dead loved one’s voice could save someone’s life? It’s could also ruin many others. Who dictates the line and who can cross it?

I can't bring myself to start reading, unfortunately. I don't have a smartphone and I've never watched RUclips shorts. Since I don't have a phone I interact a large amount with people when I meet them. I've exercised running 4 times a week, lifting twice a week, no drugs, no alcohol, no tobacco ever since I was 16, that's more than half a decade now.
But for the life of me I can't bring myself to start reading!

Bump it up to 10 min 2 or 3 times a week And so on.
@@56jasa Great work man, I think a good way to commit to reading (if you want to) is to just do it when you can. Maybe when you’re about to go to sleep or after you get home from work, or if you don’t have a family then do it through meal times. Good luck :)
I think the main issue isn't technology, it's that society hasn't advanced spiritually or continued a vital relationship to nature and the rest of the world as fast as we've advanced technologically. Again, just an opinion.
I love black mirror, but let’s give credit to where credit is due. The twilight zone is the OG prophetic show. Watch the obsolete man episode.

It's scary how human life being more government property. And judge people by numbers is definitely unfair. Those who make it like that, should be judged.
The scary thing is, what if the AI camera is wrong and counts you as doing something that someone else did?
Could break the whole system. Good idea
I’ve recently heard from someone who’s been accused of causing a major RTC in Yorkshire while the car was parked at work a hundred miles away. He’s guilty until he can prove his innocence. Now, extrapolate that…
That's the scary thing?

LOL, it wont break the system, it will just get you into trouble.@@cubeincubes
The Chinese "Social Credit Score" is just a copy of the America Fisco score, but with a twist. It doesn't matter how high your score is you would still be treated unfairly. For example the Social Credit score help Chinese people with the highest score to get a shorter waiting list for medical care, but you can just bypass the whole system if you have ties to the Chinese Communist Party. It turns out that the Social Credit score is a useless system that if you try to be a good citizen by reporting corruption in your local government "police station, mayors, province leader" to Beijing you would ultimately lose credit score because those corrupt officials have ties to the CCP. There is no point in having this system when corruption is everywhere in China from the highest to the lowest.
Unfortunately they are the best guinea pigs.... Obey at all cost lot
@@sandyj342glad im not them

the wild fantasy of western people in the attempt to cope with their dystopian Fisco social credit system is hilarious.
Can’t say I agree with the whole ‘ai voice to help with grief’ thing. I think modern society has made a bad habit of holding onto the past too much as is, the day we’re able to truly re-manifest the past inside the present is the day aspirations for the future disappear. This human tendency to want to pause the natural cycle of life is having unforeseen consequences on our development as a species, and in a way which will I think weaken us in the end. Life is not meant to be spent living inside memories that resemble shadows more than reality.
Well said 👏🏽
Incredible insight 🎯
and it would lead to parasocial relationships
Yup, but people just don't want to let go of their past, it's human nature that's why they want time machines to fix their past, but that's not how it supposed to be, we should looking be forward for the future 😢

You think that because you haven't seen what the Vocaloid technology has done for a decade. It unlocks the potential of musicians and allows many more people to write and produce songs without a singer. AI is the next step and make the process even easier. Technology allows us to get better and things like VPNs allow us to escape the ever expanding government power the same way Vocaloid allows artists to produce music without a dedicated singer.
@@phillipschultz7869In China and North Korea I guess.
I've watched his videos, but I watched Ziet Guist 12 years ago too. There's a lot of sht going on, just putting the phone down leads to still being surrounded by people craned over and out of touch. If I do try to talk to a person, they respond like a troll on the Internet, completely out of touch with reality. For example "um I'm a minotaur, I'd appreciate it if you addressed me correctly. Thanx🤚!" Or "Did you just assume my gender!?!". Plus one day there will be reprimands of not complying. Such as getting scided, just dying mysteriously or worse disappearing. What do you really think will happen if you disappear, that someone will create enough ruckus to get the news to care? No, they will get distracted and you will be considered ded. Meanwhile you're in a room off the grid with people who want to "study" the human body, like, how long can a person survive without air? What does it do to the nervous system to operate with a fully conscious person without anesthesia? Or to boil them fully conscious without anesthesia? This may sound extreme, yet it already has happened and most likely never stopped, the media can say whatever they want to you. So either you comply or you run. People are still not seeing the whole picture anyway.
This whole process can easily be overwritten in the minds of men by remembering this one mantra... it's best to speak it out loud using the voice of the great "I am".

Hey, I was thinking that the book "The GIver" by Lois Lowry could be perfect for a video of a warning, cuz for example, everyone lives in Sameness, no real emotions exist and Jonas (protagonist) is the only one who experiments a "real life". Also some great points could be that war was once portraited as a game, but Jonas was the only one who understood what was the "true meaning" of the game. Hope you read this and give it a chance.
I haven’t thought about that book in so many years. Can agree, it is an amazing book. Thank you for reminder :)
Such a great book, it's also been on my brain alot lately as well. I think it would be perfect for a video as well!
More and more the world is becoming a place I can’t help help but feel disconnected from where we are headed.
Finally!! Black Mirror isn’t just my favorite Tv but an all time favorite. It isn’t just the future a soon to be reality. Everything about it is what about to happen or already a reality
i suggest love, death , and robots. It’s similar to black mirror. No episode is the same and each one has a lesson to be learned from humanity.
I wish you would've brought up the episode with the robotic bees and how they were easily taken over and used for evil. One of my favorite episodes was the one where the girl wakes up everyday and is reliving the same day and then you find out the entire town is on it bc of what her and her bf did to an innocent little girl.
Hi I'm late to the party and I literally just watched that one......blew my mind!! Talk about social justice.
What sucks is those who need to see these videos and see how much is actually morphing to fit the new world that the elites want will not see it or will get offended when you share this stuff with them. It’s crazy. But we gotta keep sharing
Black Mirror is such an indirectly informational show, but its been tipping down ever since Bandersnatch.
This season, someone thought it would be a great idea to introduce werewolves. Like... what?
That's either someone getting a little too creative or...........they know something.
Jesse Pinkman in space was good though.
I was so disappointed in season 6
They're not predictions, they're plans
Contrary to what some like to think, Black Mirror is and always has been a WARNING about the dystopian future we were all passively sleep walking into.. unlike predictive-programming it was always focused on dissecting these contemporary technologies and ideas from an ethical and philosophical perspective, trying to open our eyes to these very new, very real existential threats we would soon be faced with. It truly helped to open my own eyes to the dangers of tech, and steered me in a good direction, among many others, away from tech dependence and towards moment to moment, holistic living. It also opened my eyes to the scientific field of Futurism (real life Black Mirror), of which I have tried to use to warn others to no avail... most people are so intoxicated and hypnotised by their devices that they would rather not know about our impending doom if left unabated. Most people, I've noticed, are too afraid to even have the conversation, better yet consider some concrete changes. Hence why I will be heading for the mountains with other likeminded souls sooner rather than later, this dystopian future will not be my future, I will return to nature where we all truly belong...
Good, but then you still use the internet to voice your opinion. Technology is a double-edged sword, it comes with both good and bad predictions at the same time
@@MIchaelSybi there was a time before technology but not technology before time.
Phillip K. Dick nailed it.
The director himself has said Black Mirror is not a warning against technology or about a prediction on the future, but about people today and uses people's relationship to technology to highlight human flaws. It's called Black Mirror, because if you turn off your device, it becomes a black screen (mirror) where you can view your own reflection. The show is about you, not the tech. Technology isn't scary, humans are.
The lack of media literacy in this video and the people in the comments is one example of flaws with humans, they assume things are true without fact checking because it confirms their bias, and then they spread misinformation. Thus, social media isn't the source for misinformation, but rather humans tendency to jump to conclusions and social media can amplify it. It's an important distinction to make, because it lets us realize the solution lies with us. Humanity is the problem. We have fundamental flaws in our biology and some socially contructed, so it's important to study them rather than condemn the technology.
This common misconception is also the reason why the Director has started making episodes where technology is almost absent, like in Season 6.
I still can't believe it's 2023, and I have have to explain this. Then again, it's humans we're talking about.
@@deepseadarew6012 be that as it may, art is a two step process. The second being the consumption and interpretation of the art (whatever the medium). Good art should cover multiple angles and be interpreted in different ways at different times as perspective is required. Eyes on.

Can’t replace people , but it fills the void instead of facing reality of life and death
The "webcam" episode starring Ser Bronn of Blackwater legitimately unsettled me. Not just because of the subject material, but knowing that even when that episode was new several years ago, there was NOTHING in it that couldn't be done then and done more efficiently TODAY. At least no one can hold us at gunpoint and force us to install smart contact lenses into our eyeballs... at least not yet. We *were* for the large and most part forced to get a certain shot not too long ago...
Netflix watered it down when they bought it after season 3. The first 3 seasons are some of the greatest media I have ever seen, these brilliant and terrifying episodes are enough to shake a person out of a coma. There are things that I've enjoyed about the later seasons but at it's start it was punk rock, it was eff everything and down with the system. It's still entertaining but it's kind of slowly and very disappointingly turning into what it was created to resist.
The commentary on Black Mirror I've been unconsciously waiting for. Kudos for all the research you put in to this!
I'm only a minute in, but I'm so glad you chose this episode.I love black mirror, but a lot of it's themes rely heavy on fantastical technology. This episode was always the one that stuck out to me as basically just modern society in a few steps. The analogies were definitely there before, but it is now becoming reality.
YES BRUH ive been waiting for dis video thank you
It's called PREDICTIVE PROGRAMMING
I was waiting for this video for a long time! Thanks moon
The show didn’t predict anything ... it’s just telling us that this is the direction we’re going ...
From what I know about the social credit score, if you get too low then you are locked at that level and can’t move up for a certain amount of time, and that time increases the lower your score is making it impossible to move up, further trapping those at the bottom of society
Nosedive was by far the most terrifying black mirror episode. None of them come even close imo.
It is a great way to train folks to be unauthentic. Becasue the authentic human being knows when something is a lie.
When you realize you are being programmed by every movie you watch
Im so glad you finally covered black mirror, it's a really great show.
You know that Uber implemented similar system relative to the Chinese ones where a driver or riders can rate each other depending on their behaviors or actions. So the future is pretty much now.
That's a huge difference, I've worked as an Uber driver and the rating of the passenger was a life saver for me
@@manuelcalavera7272 I forgot to add to note that the system itself can be used for both good and bad so it can depend on how the company utilizes it for consumer’s needs or for political motives.
You know you're screwed when telling it like it is makes the people around you resent you and ostracize you.
If that becomes adopted as the social norm, we have little hope of recovery until the collapse of our current culture.

The second you started describing the social credit score and Black mirror, I honestly thought it sounded more like current credit scores with in America. Combined a little bit with the social credit score score from china

Reminds me so much of the Relic in Cyberpunk 2077, another scarily well put together dystopian future.
*That 'striking vipers' episode that killed the entire series also predicted how GAY everything would become*
Hol' up, what?
Have you ever done a video about corrupted Charities? Would benefit the world to know what's going behind that stuff.

I lost my dad when I was twenty four, he has missed my university redemption, family loss, life. How can an AI give me any of that? Complex emotions, feeling, understanding?
And why I even consider letting a greeedy tech giant have any of his info? Just sounds like a horror movie.
I can’t have a replica of my lost loved one it’s too painful and too disgusting
Well us has credit score and coupled with backlash in all areas people get for not holding the currently "correct" option, we are not too far off
The Chinese system just seems to be a more streamlined version conveying the same information
Technology is ruined society. Remember the days the only way to contact people was house phone and in most cases you get people. With mobile phones people rarely answer their mobile phones they would rather text or social media messages
It’s just predictive programming
Been using it in media for decades
Lest anyone thinks "It couldn't happen here in the US!": we've had a TSA travel blacklist since 2001 and you have no idea if you're on it until you're blocked from travel, how you got on it, or how to get off of it. It has already happened here it just isn't as expansive.
Yet.
You should do an episode about how “cabin in the woods” predicted the current state of movies. The people in the room are the executives, and the old gods or the giant hand is capitalism forcing movies to be a shallow formula. I think there’s a lot there.
I’ve watched it at Selwyn College!
I thought the scariest Black Mirror episode was when the robot dog hunts that lady. She is so smart, resourceful, and determined, but they still get her in the end. It was Terminator without the hope.
If I were on a Chinese dating app that was based on social score, I would look for the lowest ones. This indicates free thinking and non-conformance.
The first instance of social credit score I remember was on "Community." or maybe in a Dr. Seuss book.
I hope the Future will be better, than Black Mirror. I just hope everything will be alright. Thanks for the effort you put in here, I really apreciate your content.

Nosedive is my favorite episode ever!!!
They didn't predict, the told us in advance. Predictive programming
It isn't the social credit score itself that is inherently evil but how it cedes more power to an evil government.
I always say that sci-fi is a precursor to science fact. It seems if we can imagine it then we can eventually create it.
VICE on HBO interviewed the engineers that helped create the social credit system in China and they literately got the inspiration for it from Black Mirror.
just like 1984, Black Mirror was not an instruction manual.
Man i would like to discuss every single topic much further with someone critical like you guys
They gotta tell you
🎯
That title change worked lol
There you have it; you (and me) are not immune to propaganda
Here is simple way to predict the future: Is the tech possible? and how would you use it to subjugate other people? The answer is what the powerful (government + rich people) will do always.
Then the other question: What tech is possible? and how could good people use it to make the world a better place? Then you know what no one is going to do, because everyone is just as evil and greedy as the powerful.
Robots won't just be able to shoot you, they will be able to shoot in the 6 places you're most likely to jump to when trying to dodge.

What’s the difference between “social credit system” and the “credit score” system that we use here?
They’re showing us what new technology they are going to publish to the public through these shows, we have just been programmed to think that this is just a “show” so we think that this is simply a coincidence. No wonder they call it television, because they’re literally telling you their vision. Crazy bruh
Honestly, day-by-day i get happier with my decision to delete all social media and spending a lot less time on screens and technology outside of my job or basic relax time like RUclips like this. I definitely see how the world is becoming worse with all this social media and social status driven society. Though I am not fully happy, I can safely say I am definitely happier without social media and too advanced technology invading my life.
I wish I was born in an earlier generation so I won't have to live with AI
Same. I wish I'd been a teen in the 50's. People rattle on about how restrictive that era was, but it kept society in order, unlike the total chaos we live in now. Also, I just like the aesthetic of things from that era. Like, the cars from back then are works of art on wheels. Today's cars are ugly pieces of sh!t.
Community had a good "social credit score" type episode too
The social credit score happening in real life is terrifying. If big brother is always watching he needs to be a cool big brother and not be an uptight by the book turd. Let people live.
He needs rope to play with.
Nosedive wasn't a commentary on social credit systems, it was a commentary on "Hey, that episode of Community was pretty cool! Let's do that!"
