In the original film, the cyborg protagonist is more bold and does the opposite, she questions her essence but pushes herself towards an even more radical change.

Yes, I agree that all generations think theirs will be the one that brings the world to an end. However, in today's world, there is one key difference compared to previous historic periods: modern humans have the capability to completely annihilate themselves via nuclear bombs, which is unprecedented in all of history. There was never enough firepower to do so until modern technogy made it possible. That one factor alone certainly raises the risk factor and possibility of seeing the world's end during this century. Bonus points: we are living in politically unstable and dangerous times due to the elimination of past unipolar or bipolar political worlds. The multipolar one which we now inhabit leads to extreme instability, which again, combined with several global players having access to nuclear weapons greatly increases the risk factor.

Id say that there is a very big difference. The obvious is that in the past it’s always been religions, mostly Christianity that has been selling this idea.

That said this time is different because we do have science and social media to show us what’s happening on the ground around the world.

Sir Isaac Newton's prediction for the Apocalypse - was 2060. That timeline is looking likelier and likelier by the year. Forget Nostradamus, the Mayan's etc - Newton was always my favorite for nailing doomsday. But maybe it's the only way out of the present Gordian Knot. I'm starting to think progress is impossible without catastrophe. But any survivors out there, remember the lessons well, make sure everything of this time is preserved. Not on memory sticks, but on stones. Mind you, the lessons are wrote on our hearts, are age-old. But still we make the same old mistakes. That is, don't shit where you eat, and money is the root of all evil. Simple lessons really, almost childishly simple. And maybe that's the problem, to learn the lessons of history, men have to revert back to children.

Apparently he studied the Great Pyramid and the Book of Daniel to come to his conclusions. Which Newton believed contained hidden codes passed down by a superior civilization, that was wiped out in some antediluvian catastrophe. In other words, Atlantis. If one does subscribe to such theories, as many of the early moderns did, we're not just talking hocus pocus, but ancient encoded mathematics. Or at least that's what Newton believed he was doing. He believed he was doing science in predicting the end of the world, or rather the end of civilization as we know it. And with global warming, 2060 is looking like a prime date. It could be that astrology was a science that became misused over the millennia. It's original purpose was more astronomical. Predicting future events over giant spans of time. We are now discovering the cyclical nature of the world, the ice-ages, the reversal of magnetic poles, the regular eruptions of super volcanoes. Maybe the ancients either consciously or unconsciously internalized such cycles.

@@jamiehovis7722 I always thought the same, religion and the occult were just magical thinking. The early moderns, bless 'em - were a little touched, albeit for understandable reasons given their epoch. But if earlier civilizations pre-dated Egypt, Mesopotamia that were wiped out etc, that's a game changer. Means much of the knowledge inherited by antiquity has to taken more seriously. Maybe civilization goes back tens of thousands of years, ideas kept alive within esoteric schools. Astrology, numerology, sacred geometry, the Kabbalah, alchemy might be highly sophisticated sciences that got corrupted down the ages. Like imagine what would happen to quantum mechanics, relativity, the big bang theory, DNA, evolution, binary code - if there was suddenly some civilization ending catastrophe? No doubt some survivors might attempt to preserve such knowledge, but over time it'd seep into religion and magical thinking. Plato, Columbus, Bacon, Newton, Virgil were all convinced of a great civilization that was lost to history before the advent of the current historical epoch. If so, perhaps Newton had decoded some ancient science. One thing's for sure, this age, commencing with the Age of Aquarius, that is Aquarius rising at the vernal equinox for the 2000 years, is a key event in the Mayan, Christian, Chinese, and Indian calendars. Besides, the very idea the ancients had figured out the procession of the equinoxes, the so called great year - I find incredible. Which I think speaks to maybe a civilization spanning back perhaps a hundred thousand years. We might be talking a civilization that had recorded the cycles of the Earth over a vast span of time. Perhaps understanding that the wobble of the earth's Axis can have profound effects not only on the environment - but on the chemical balances of the minds of men. The Age of Aquarius always predicted as an age of reason, technology, science. Something that has been predicted for the last 500 years in Occult circles. Francis Bacon's the New Atlantis for example, that really was a blueprint for the new age. The idea that America was the New Atlantis. A self fulfilling prophecy, or is something deeper going on? And if the Age of Aquarius is the age of science, has that happened before, and did lead to an apocalypse last time around? Science naturally being a double edged blade of creation and destruction. Astrology may have no effect at the individual level, or the monthly level, but maybe that wasn't its true purpose. Astrology rather predicting nature and human nature over vast epochs of history, as linked to the procession of the Earth.

I can't help but think that Zizek is a man that is being, once again, abused by a certain type of person in the West who wants to have such people "knocking around" in their sense of caliber and wanting for the world. In my long understanding of this man, he is confused and not doing anyone any favours. On a personal level, I'm sure the bloke is fine, but on such issues of existence, I'm not a fan.

Zizek, mate, if you keep on snorting coke, you'll be even more doomed than the rest of us!

I'm going to say this: he is a studied man that comes across as someone to decipher in a mystical sense for westerners because of his horrid accent. But his points do not present themself as congruent. He lives in a classical world of political insight, yet, we have so much more information available now that he neglects. I could go on with this, but fuck it.

I like his words but the delivery is so aesthetically displeasing I just can't. The lisp, the sniffling (although he doesn't touch his nose so much in this video), it's absurd.
