Humans 2.0
"I like you more than I like anything I've ever seen or heard or touched. Everything normal is bigger and brighter when I am with you. You make everything .. more"
I am watching this series about artificial intelligence, an Amazon Prime original, Humans. My thoughts about it ranged from silly to creepy. You get these machines that look like humans with perfect posture and sound like humans with a monotonic voice, they are called synths, then you get to the seventeen thousand pages of code that give them consciousness so they can feel and think. That starting quote is the first time one of them experienced romantic feelings and I liked that part, I really did.
I would not say that this series makes me emotional, it does not make me feel a lot, but it makes me think more about feeling, the act of it. I mostly think about it when I notice I am doing more of it than is healthy for me. What does that mean though?
For example, you can read some post or watch some video making the point that you should never apologize or blame yourself for feeling a certain thing or feeling a thing for too long, and I am all in, of course, don't, you definitely should not. While you are doing the right action of not apologizing and not blaming anyone or yourself for your feelings though, you can pause and notice what this is doing to your time, and to your life, then you might come to the conclusion that this is better stop. Not blaming, not apologizing, just recognizing that there is a slippery slope. I mostly think about the act of feeling when I am slipping on the slope, and the outcomes vary.
It is not a very good show so far, it is not bad either, but it is a good enough show to watch while boiling eggs in the morning or to waste time on when the mind is so tired that even a meaningful show seems like work.
