Act 1.1 Part 2 Philosophical Art and Entertainment EM23 by Fabio

Example post by teacher Fabio Romanelli Mass Effect videogame

Can an artificial organism, if it proves its self-awareness, acquire a soul?
If a machine can prove that it is an autonomous entity, that it thinks for itself, does it deserve the right to life?
In the game Mass Effect, there is a race of artificial intelligence called the Geth. At first they were just very complex "smart machines", designed to help the quarians, who built them, like smart refrigerators that alert you when something is missing. One day, one of the machines asked its mistress "Does this unit have a soul?" causing the quarians to panic and start a genocide against the geth, who fought back and ended up driving their creators off the planet. Now the geth live in their masters planet, Rannoch, building a complex and rich civilization.
One could say that any entity that can pass the same tests of self-awareness that one gives as a human should be considered equally worthy of treatment of a being with full self-awareness as oneself, that is, the fact that one is of biological origin and the other is synthetic is not enough of a distinction to take away the rights and dignity of any of them. And asking about the soul is clearly a question that would be asked by someone who is aware of its very existence and questions it; just like humans do.

"retorno a la filosofia"

a. Are we our minds?

c. This picture shows us in a visual way, how the meaning of life should be directly retaliated with the question; "What are we?" Here we can appreciate a man looking at what I think is the reflection of his own mind, but we first need to understand the concept of life.

d. Sometimes, even though we contemplate something for a long period of time, there's no explanation of what this is. This picture is also trying to representate how big our minds can be, and sometimes they could be bigger than us. But; what is "us"?

Are we morally obligated to look for a second home when the one we know is no longer able to support human life?

Long story short, the world is ending and a NASA astronaut is sent to space to look for a new place to live since earth is basically inhabitable, the mission goes wrong and the crew has the faith of human race with them, and the dilemma is if they should find a new planet to live or if they should just start a whole new race and leave the human race to die.

What is the meaning of life?

That is the main question that the Pixar studio raised with this animated production, among other things there are also the questions of whether we really have our time on earth assured, if there is life after death and if there is, with what things are we likely to we meet

Joe G. is the main character of the story, an ordinary person with a profession as a music teacher, but he dreams of being part of a band and dedicating himself completely to it.

However, it does not seem that things are going in his favor since he does not have the support of his mother, he does not likes his work and when the opportunity for his dreams comes, he dies.

His journey begins in the afterlife with the hope of returning to his body because he thinks that his life will begin once he joins the band and it is on that journey that he reflects on whether he will really be happy when he fulfills his dreams, what he has been doing with his life and other questions that capture the attention of anyone who sees the movie and put themselves in the character's shoes, feeling their problems as their own

We trust that time is linear. That it proceeds eternally and uniformly into infinity. But the distinction between past, present and future is nothing but an illusion. Yesterday, today and tomorrow are not consecutive, they are connected in a never-ending circle.
If everything is connected and there's not yesterday today or tomorrow, where am I right know? In the past?
I'm living in the present or in the past? In what time of my timeline am I ?
Dark is a series about time travelers. It talks about time and how it doesn't go in a straight line and how they managed it in cycles. Like everything has a beginning and an end. The end its the beginning etc.
The disappearance of a child ( Mikel ) leads four families on a frantic search, as they uncover a mystery that spans three generations. And like it said on the tittle, is not where is Mikel but when he is?
The families start to look for where Mikel is, and they discovered that a kind of black hole can transport them to another timelines in their lifes. Its not just about science fiction, the whole series is full of physics and investigations of scientifics that may proved all of these information.

"Fight club"

What's the point of living if being materialists became the center of our lives?

Fight club is about an office worker who is tired of the daily routine and a soap maker (who is himself cause he has schizophrenia) form a underground fight club which they use as therapy and a kinda "own scape from reality", later they do a therapy group where they can share their ideologies giving support to each other of the members in the fight club, and at the end they realize that have fallen into the system they were fighting against.

The movie tries to give the idea that (in my pov) you can be more than what the system wants you to be, I mean we can stop being attached to the rules of what to do or what to think and what is well seen by society and all of the silly trends that are on the internet, the system in where we live was made to make us buy things we don't even need, they are showing us, teaching us that we have to study half of our lives to start working the rest of it to spend every single coin we earn, where the material stuff has become our religion and we won't never stop it cause we will never be satisfied, everything is about consuming and make the others consumers too. Also we live in our own fight with ourselves, we never know what we really want, sometimes when we are bored, are we bored of what we are doing?, or are we bored of who we are? Trying to find a meaning to your life may be difficult, but we make it worst when we are slaves of the market, of the social media and of the consumerism. The movie itself tries to make us reject the reality and create our own, reject the materialism and start seeking for discomfort, rebellion and leave behind the selfish desires that we live with, just to really find our purpose in life without being a lamb following the shepherd, because the most important thing should be our self improvement.

What good is the trip if you end up alone?

Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou or Girls Last Tour is an anime and manga that talks about the journey of two young girls named Chito and Yuuri to reach the top of the world.

Along the journey, Chito and Yuuri meet two people, a man who gives them a camera and a woman who wants to fly. But in the end, they continue their journey wondering what happened to them, then they also meet an artificial intelligence that keeps alive the last fish on earth. They take a hot bath for the first time and eat baked potatoes for the first time. And once they reach the highest peak in the world expecting comfort only to find absolutely nothing, a completely white void with no trace of people or even anything to tell them that anyone was ever there. Only to finally just lie down and think about everything that happened to them until they got there. Thats how it answers that question.

-Maze Runner
-The end justifies the means ?
-In the future there is a disease called the "flare" thousands of people die from it and the planet is almost completely desert. For this reason, an organization called that
seeks to eradicate it is created, which snatches children who are immune from their families. Throughout their childhood they study them and when they become young they erase their memories and submit them to a test field where they study their abilities and make them go through inhuman tests where several will die so that by forcing their brains they will find a definitive cure and preserve humanity.
-First, it shows us in the middle that these disoriented boys are trying to survive a simulator without knowing why and neither do we as readers, in this way we judge the actions of those who are controlling it. Then we are told that there is a good reason and we are presented to a character who blindly believes in a cause that he does not even remember seeing heartburn, this in order to make us doubt if there is a way that what the characters suffer is justified or not. Finally, the end of the cure for a disease is revealed to us Terrible, but they also continue to show us how the means drive mad, hurt or kill the members of the test and with this you will answer this question in a personal way, does the end justify the means?

Inside Job a netflix series

One ofe the question a frequently I ask, it was how does the goberment really works? Is there more life out there? Are we the only one`s in the world or universe?

Well this netflix serie is about a group of friends who works for the goberment, but what they really do is control all the weird stuff in Earth ( aliens, other species of humans, Iluminaty) stuff like that there some other types of species in that group, they work under the white house.

I mean it dosen`t respond any philosofical question because all what you see in the T.V program is some stuff that you really though about the goberment but is really to trippy to be real, it answer the question of what`s going on Area 51 and if cloning persons is real

Is Youth as difficult as it looks? Are we trapped in a Social game were the less social people loose a lot of points? Untiil when are people supposed to keep a false identity? Are relationships just a "replica" or them real as it "feels"?

Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru, or Oregairu is an Anime / Light Novel, where the protagonist, Hachiman Hikigaya, had passed through a lot of problems since he was in pre-high school.

He had a lot of problems by getting well with people because he didn't know how to "express" himself in the right way.

But when he began studying his 2nd year of highschool, he were involved in a club by his Teacher, Hiratsuka, where he met a girl called Yukino Yukinoshita, who is also the club's president. The club was called "Service Club" where people could ask for help if they ever had a problem. Hikigaya Hachiman was forced to convive with this girl, Yukinoshita Yukino, then one day another girl arrived with a problem and they decided to help her, this girl is also an important part of the show, her name is Yuigahama Yui. Later she decided to be part of the club and oficially began the "Service Club".

By resolving some problems the "Service Club" will be involved in emotional problems deciding how their relation actually is, making Hachiman doubt about everything he "built" with these girls, and totally changing his perspective of the world, just by making correct decisions and believe in what he was doing, resolving all the cuestions he had about society and why does people actually act like that.

In my opinion is a great show if you like "Romantic-Drama" and a bit of "Comedy".

Is there a way to know if everything is connected by a higher power?

This show is about Flight 828, about its disappearance, and about how it returned 5 years later, but the most interesting thing was that the passengers hadn't aged those 5 years, and how some passengers were experiencing something they called "Callings", which apparently come from a higher force, as the story goes they find something that's more than 3 thousand years old that completely changed their perspective about what was happening to them, will they adapt to this new year, do the callings mean something, and what if it is all connected?

This Tv Show tries to answer this question by affirming that there is indeed a higher power, but you can't really know how it works or what it is.

Labor exploitation are those abuses committed by the employer on the employee, such as working under a threatening condition or receiving a salary that does not correspond to the responsibility, effort and hours of work.

" ^{Soul tells the story of a high school music teacher named Joe Gardner who deeply loves playing jazz and his biggest dream is to become a professional musician. He is about to make it when, unfortunately, he falls into a sewer and dies. Joe's soul resists that this is his end and struggles to find a way to return to Earth, so he does not go to the light, but escapes to 'The Great Before', which is a place where the souls that have not yet arrived on Earth.}

^{There he meets 22, a rebellious soul who has not found his passion and therefore does not want to live. Both souls begin to live a series of adventures that leads them to reflect on many issues such as the meaning of life, death, identity and above all the mission that each person has in this world. Both manage to reach Earth again, but in different bodies, Joe returns as a cat and 22 in Joe's body."}

^{It s a movie that honestly left me thinking, I still try to solve each message that the movie gives you, idk, it just blow my mind, but i was investigating how it solves the main question, it has several conclusions but the one that caught my attention the most "It's the free spirit that lives it s contingency whitout the need to treat it. he is the one the ephemeral and what also makes us different."}

What is reality?
What defines and separates what is real and which is not?
Is neos original reality more real?
How do we know we are not in some sort of matrix like neo?

The series talks about neo (the protagonist) which awekens from his dream and discovers that all society is a construct and people are like in a computer or matrix. In "real" life the few peole that survives and controls the simulation live in a post apocaliptic world.

The questions in reality is how do we know we are not in a kinda simulation? Because with the technological advancements I mean we could be in one and dont even know and even if we are. Is that reality we know less real than our creators reality? and why? what requirements somthing has to acomplish to be considered real? I mean is one more better than the other? Is it worth living in the original reality if you live a bad quality life but knowing it's real? Or is it better to live a better life and not even knowing it's fake.

The travel of Chihiro

What was the meaning of their lifes?

It started with a girl named Chihiro she's 10 years old and she was whimsical and stubborn, she thought the whole universe had to bow and obey her. On her way home the family lost their way and entered a hallway that lead them to another universe that was ruled by an "evil" witch.

The adjective of "evil" depends in the perspective that you see the story, while we see it from Chihiro's point of view. We don't even stop to try to understand why the witch acts and behaves the way she does. What lead Chihiro there? Why did someone help her? What did they save her from? Why were they transformed to animals? Maybe because they behaved badly or desobeyed the law (The evil witch). This are some of the bunch of questions that appeared to me while watching this movie. It made me reflect in the way people act and how they conduct themselves to others, and the why.

One of this things is that this machine is constantly working to keep itself together, and at one point the machine seems to get tired and stressed, such as humans day by day.

Strange (feat. RM)

Link to the song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p18VBmQ308&ab_channel=ZatyFarhani

Are we really free in this system as individuals?

The song "Strange" talks about how we live in a modern world and what it has done to us. It has a lot of important and controversial themes in it, but here are some which I would like to tell you more about.

The song explains that capitalism provides materialistic wealth, and because of that we create an illusion that it’s necessary to live. We are so brainwashed with the idea of consuming things that we aren’t even sure of what we really need, so we get to the point of not knowing what we truly want from life itself. Nowadays, societies get to the point of forgetting and letting go of their dreams just to go after unnecessary things. At some parts of the song it also tells us about how we are controlled by "the upper ones", and that no matter how much money you have, we are all slaves to the system.

There is a part in the song which I like a lot that says “There is no answer, that is the answer”. Even if you try to get a concrete response to the question about if we are truly free or not in the system, at the end of the day the result will be completely subjective from person to person. There are some people who will say they are happy with their lives, and there are some that will disagree with that, thus that proves more that phrase from the song.

"The Methamorfosis" - Franz Kafka (Emily Garza Mtz A01412397)

2023-01-17 06:14:29 UTC

"If I become a smaller and insignificant being, could I be free from my responsibilities in my daily life and finally become an independent being despite leaving the ones I love behind?"

In the book "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka, we are introduced to Gregorio Samsa, who one day wakes up from a strange dream to realize that he has become a giant insect which has no way of communicating with its relatives, at the same time Being Gregorio in this situation, he realizes the freedom in his decisions that he begins to have, since he no longer has to put up with the pressure of his parents to support the home with a job as well as those of society itself, however as it passes Over time, Gregorio realizes how his new appearance affected his parents and his sister financially and emotionally, so some time later he decides to starve to no longer have to be a burden to them.

In the book we see how Gregorio in his new body can be happy, curious and independent, something that had never been allowed to him in his entire life, so the freedom in him increased as he lived his new body, however, when he realized He realizes the seriousness that his new form generates for the family, creating not only the repudiation of his father and his sister who loved him so much, but also fear of his mother, and a great inability to get ahead economically, we realize that although Gregorio was freer as an insect, the emotional responsibility caused by his relatives never allowed him to be completely himself, so he finally decides to take his own life so that they can continue with theirs.

Inception - Luis Peralta

2023-01-25 04:27:15 UTC

I chose this movie because I consider that the philosophical dilema/question is that as long as the necessities of the main character grow, the more time it would cost him of his life, all because of a big but momentanium reward.

He is a "mercenary" of dreams and he is asked to do a task that will compromise his life, but principally, his mental time, as he would be living inside a dream, where time pass slower.
