get in the flex neshus, shinji
Babies need to be inserted from birth? So people are still made the conventional way or does the nexus poop out babies and we need some people outside the nexus to throw them back in? Anon should try get on with nexus maintenance if he doesn’t want to join.
Basically exactly the plot to SOMA
Is that an anime? I’m interested. I could Google it but I won’t so don’t leave me hanging.
Shit. I don’t have time for games. I’ll watch a YouTube video about it. Gaming for me these days consist of watching some YouTuber breakdown some game I’ve never heard of while I drift to sleep.
SOMA is a horror game/walking simulator (depends on the critic) about a man who has his brain scanned as he is dying of brain bleeding caused by a car accident months prior. By having his brain scanned, it actually copies his consciousness, and he ends up transported to a far flung apocalyptic future.
I don’t want to spoil too much, it’s an amazing game with fantastic dives into rather dense and challenging ethical and philosophical questions. My reference to this post was about the fact that, in the future, an artificial intelligence fashioned a sort of “flesh nexus”—the AI was given the sole task of preserving human life, and in its reasoning, if a person is dying, they can be converted into something different that will live on indefinitely.
PLEASE, either go play the game (it’s not extremely long) or watch a good let’s play.
When Day Breaks.
This is about trans folks ain’t it
IDK, the first thing that came to my mind was an SCP where everyone started mushing into other people and making giant blobs because the sun (?) went crazy.
SCP-001 When Day Breaks. Fucked me up for weeks. 10/10 excellent story.
Its the “what do you mean babies shouldn’t be integrated into the nexus from birth” and the “99% don’t regret integration” bits that make me suspicious. Also it being 4chan. It being about the internet also makes a lot of sense though and I hope that was the intent
It’s about technological advancement and its augmentation of the human condition (think social media, phones, and the internet). There are people who resist these changes, often mislabelled as ‘luddites’ (the Luddites of the 19th century specifically opposed automation for its threat to jobs, but were reprehensive of all technology as a part of that).
This meme is just taking those who berate Luddites to their ultimate conclusion, which is a hive mind where all personal autonomy is lost, and it could be argued they cease to exist as a distinct individual. The flesh part of it is merely a means of making it more grotesque.
