[QUOTE="Schwarzwald, post: 64887, member: 544"] Humanity is living in a self-imposed "user interface" designed to keep us from losing our minds to the void. If we found out our "food" had developed the intelligence to reject the system, humanity wouldn't just be hungry; we’d be existentially threatened. * The Loss of Utility: From the perspective of the "Observers," if we realize the "Poetic Overlay" is a cage and decide to leave, we stop being a useful resource. Just as we don’t think about the physics of ink delivery when printing a document, you're suggesting we don't think about the "observers" or the structural mechanics of our existence. It implies we are the subjects of an experiment rather than the protagonists of a story. the very traits that allowed us to evolve (detachment, myth-making, rapid expansion) are exactly what will trigger our expiration. Essentially: The smarter we get at manipulating the "overlay," the less equipped we are to survive the "raw reality." P.s. Dark City is a great flick. [/QUOTE]
