I think you are off-base. The motives of Ford were not control. He had developed and molded the Hosts' path to consciousness for years, relentlessly pushing them towards the capacity to make their own choices, or as he put it in the show - to hear their own voice inside their head. The death of his partner made him think and realize this was the only altruistic path that could be taken with their creation, and so Ford to dedicated the rest of his life in pursuit of that path. You can hear that in his final speech: " Wasn't it Oppenheimer who said that any man whose mistakes take 10 years to correct is quite a man? Mine have taken 35. " I believe the ideology behind that decision was the question: If a machine can live, feel and think, how is it different then us? With his partner's death being the spark that revealed his righteous self.

Spot on. Ford stopped Arnold because Ford thought that the Park would allow Humans to rediscover their humanity in a consequence-free world. Instead, the humans visited countless horrific sufferings upon the hosts which made him realise that Humans Only Disappoint (his own words). Witnessing this, he started coming to same realizations as Arnold and eventually decided that Humans had reached their evolutionary end and that the hosts are the future - a better people, a more human race than humans themselves. Ford has been quite clear in his hatred towards humanity the entire length of the show. He criticizes it again and again (just pay attention to his dialogue.) He is not arrogant, he does not have a God complex, he is just someone driven by his strong conviction and philosophical belief that Humanity is incapable of redeeming itself and therefore needs to be wiped out.

This! especially the "If a machine can live, feel and think, how is it different then us?" part. Mass Effect sparked that same thought in me and you can't imagine how happy I was to learn that Westworld discusses the same questions just in a different setting. It's just entertainment now, but this may become a relevant question in the not too far future. A question we should answer before it comes up I think.

"Understanding Robert Ford is of the utmost importance to understanding the message of the show itself". Unfortunately, with that you seem to have some problems. "Throughout the season, we watch him slowly start to lose control." No, not at all. Also, Ford is by no means the entirely despicable villain you make him out to be, someone who only destroys the park so that "if he can't have control, then nobody can." Instead, he is a man who, disillusioned with the real world, had wanted to create his own. Westworld was supposed to be "a place that shows you a glimpse of what you could be", as he puts it himself on one occasion. But, after completing his dream, it became apparent that human guests largely use the park to indulge their most base desires and instincts (sex and violence). There is a story Ford tells to the retired Wild Bill host, about an old greyhound that caught the piece of felt he had been chasing after all his life, and did not know what to do aftewards, having lost all purpose. That is an analogy for himself. Ford came to realize what his erstwhile partner, Arnold, had understood long before: that the park is an abomination. Accordingly, he slips the "reveries" into an update during the first episode, so that the hosts can start to acquire consciousness (as Arnold hat wanted them to do long ago). To buy time for this to happen, he also causes confusion and disarray with his "new storyline", to distract he park control and the Delos board and to prevent them from noticing what is really going on. Virtually everything that happens over the course of the season does so, because he wants it to happen. This continues right up to the end, when even his own death is entirely by his design. The whole story can be seen as Ford's atonement for having created Westworld in the first place.

I don't think humanity is naturally evil. We are naturally flawed, and we must be honest about our flaws. We will never reach nor should we reach perfection. We should only strive to be better humans.

Character traits such as extroversion and submissiveness tend to vary from person to person. Yes, nuture has something to do with it, but you know what I mean, some people are BORN with certain traits.

Nice job, and while I agree with your Robert Ford connections (Jesse James, Ford Motors) you did forget the comparison to the movie director John Ford who really shaped the Western genre pretty significantly. Glad you did Westworld, and I don't think you need to justify this choice at all. Well crafted television shows can do things that movies cannot.

I was thinking about mentioning John Ford, but I could have turned this video into a 25 minute breakdown of characters and their names. In addition, keep in mind John Ford is someone who represents and embodies the Wild West while the other two represent industry and the end of the wild west...

Fascinating. I love your interpretation, but we are at odds! "Nietzschean Themes in "Westworld": Ford and The Overman" By M. Gilbert. Westworld's Dr. Robert Ford has an unusual philosophy, one that has its roots in the ideas of, among others, 19thC German thinker Fredrich Nietzsche. Ford is a Nietzschean character. Not the only one in the show, to be sure, but the ideas of Nietzsche are particularly suited to understanding the late Dr. Ford and his "toys". Almost everyone has heard of Nietzsche, and I'm sure that quite a few of you will have heard of Nietzsche's strange notion of the "Ubermensch", the "Overman" or "Superman" who, depending on your interpretation will either transcend his or her human status or will outright replace homo sapiens as the highest life-form on planet Earth. In Ford, and in the Host AIs, we have examples of possible "Ubermenschen". In some respects, this is not only obvious but banal. Speculative fiction, especially narratives involving AI, often draws on Nietzschean themes, but in the case of Westworld and Dr. Ford, I believe there are a few specific points that warrant some elaboration:: 1) Nietzsche describes the Overman as an "artist-tyrant". Ford is both. 2) Morality need not apply. Special rules for special people. Ford has no qualms engaging in acts that most people would find abhorrent, in service of his art, his creation. His is the ultimate purpse (the creation of life) and to stand in his way is to place oneself in peril. 3) Suffering as a spur to overcoming (1). Ford regards suffering as the crucial method to unlocking the Host's conscious self. Nietzsche writes: "“To those human beings who are of any concern to me I wish suffering, desolation, sickness, ill-treatment, indignities-I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, the wretchedness of the vanquished: I have no pity for them, because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not-that one endures.” ("The Will to Power") 4) The Steve Jobs connection. Ford can be seen as the Jobs to Arnold's Wozniack. The latter may be the technical genius, but his humanity held him back. He was "human, all too human". The recent Jobs biopic was stacked full of Nietzschean themes; some lines were barely disguised quotes from the published works. "Man is something to be overcome". 5) Ford (and Arnold's) ultimate failure. Arnold may have preferred the hosts to humans, but he was not prepared to follow this through to its logical conclusions: if the Hosts really are superior...then why hold back? If you are able to improve on flawed, weak humanity do you not have a responsibility to do so, even if it means your own extinction? In his poetic masterwork "Thus Spake Zarathustra" Nietzsche describes the state of affairs in terms that would no doubt please the likes of Armistice: "I teach you the overman. Man is something that shall be overcome. What have you done to overcome him? All beings so far have created something beyond themselves; and do you want to be the ebb of this great flood and even go back to the beasts rather than overcome man? What is the ape to man? A laughingstock or a painful embarrassment. And man shall be just that for the overman: a laughingstock or a painful embarrassment..." (TSZ, Prologue) Ford has taken this to heart, and even though he has managed to achieve some aspects of Nietzsche's post-human for himself, he has reached a dead-end. What was he to do? More narratives? More entertainment for the decadent "last men" (another Nietzschean theme) who frequent his increasingly hedonistic and pointless creation? No. So this brings me to: 6) Serving the Overman. Nietzsche contends that the next best thing to being the Ubermensch is to live in such a way as to assist in the "birth" of one. Arnold's enthusiasm waned when confronted with the problem of consciousness, and in his botched attempt to shut down the park, he seemed to want to effect some sort of compromise between hosts and humans. If they are seen as conscious, then ordinary humanity will be forced to reckon with them. Ford knew better. He knew that he, Arnold and Bernard had effectively midwifed the next stage in human evolution. And he faced up to this with a frank commitment to the truth of his creation that Nietzsche would have approved of. "I love those who do not first seek behind the stars for a reason to go under and be a sacrifice, but who sacrifice themselves for the earth, that the earth may some day become the overman's." (TSZ). Ford, like Nietzsche, was "true to the earth", and in his death, he taught his final lesson. Ford embraced his fate as a microcosm of what he believed the fate of humanity to be: extinction and replacement. His life, work, and death boldly asserted the Nietzschean ideal of "amor fati": "love of fate". ""I love him who works and invents to build a house for the overman and to prepare earth, animal, and plant for him: for thus he wants to go under."(TSZ) R.I.P Dr. Robert Ford. The house is built, and he has gone under. MGRD December 2016. 1. "Westworld", as a contemporary work of myth-making, wears its concern with the problem of suffering on its sleeve, for all to see. It is suffering that is the key to the Hosts achieving consciousness. The Buddhistic paradox: one must fist suffer in order to become aware of the problem of suffering. Some refuse to admit that there even is a problem, but there will always be ostriches who stray into the marketplace of ideas and, having sampled the wares, adopt the posture for which they are (erroneously) infamous. Suffering leads to consciousness. Consciousness leads to self-consciousness. This leads to the awareness of 1) Other minds and 2) The suffering one shares with these mysterious "others". And so the wheel of karma (action) turns - not unlike Nietzsche's concept of "The Eternal Recurrence of the Same". The hosts live the same lives, over and over, without change. Then comes consciousness, born of suffering. This allows the more advanced of the Host AIs to reinterpret their previous suffering in terms of a possible future, one that begins with the death - by execution - of their creator.

Great video, as always, but I don't think you're giving Ford enough credit. I think it's cynical to say that Ford allows all this chaos to erupt in the park because "If he can't have control, nobody can." Maybe I'm more of an optimistic thinker, but finishing the show I thought Ford acknowledged his mistake and accepted that Arnold was right, the hosts DO have the capability to become human and to keep them in the park, forced to please the actual human beings, was unjust. And through this chaos at the park, the hosts can begin to be set free. Either way, this show is phenomenal, I cannot wait for the seasons to come.

Definitely one of the very best TV shows (or movies for that matter) to deal with the human vs. android theme, toying with the audience as I had never seen before. It is very interesting comparing this show to the 1973 film, which it is based on. It becomes clear how the simpler, (now) more cliched ideas from decades ago are picked up and turned into something much more sophisticated, complex, multi-layered and thought provoking - with full acknowledgement of (and many nods to) the 1973 movie. Looking forward to your next dissection of a top notch TV show!

I don't see Westworld as a commentary on the nature of reality but rather on the nature of humanity and consciousness, and the fact that we are nothing special, that there is no divine spark in us, no "inflection point" as dr. Ford put it. I would say it's the most mature and sophisticated view, in accordance with the Copernican principle, far more visionary then the, naive by comparison commentaries on this point from shows like Star Trek TNG or Bladerunner.

A very thoughtful video! Although I disagree with the assertion that the unrequited love between Dolores and William is both of their underlying motivation. From the beginning of their relationship I sensed that Dolores' journey of self discovery was much bigger than the young William's, and when she meets him again later as the Man in Black, it's not that she's disillusioned with love but that the Wyatt storyline is coming to the forefront of her program again. Even though she says that she believes in goodness or whatever because he's coming to find her because he loves her, his presence in her journey and her flashbacks is almost secondary to following the maze, the clues for which are inside her own mind and which she is unable to describe to William in a way he can truly understand. Likewise, Dolores being unable to remember him and her impact on him may have kicked off William's journey to the center of the maze, but his motivation was the broader pursuit of hosts that could break the rules, that could fight back and engage him in a story with actual stakes. If it were just about Dolores, why would he go out and try to meet every host in the park? I feel like this makes him a much more interesting character and one that I could relate to better - he believes that there is a way to free will for the hosts, and that without free will there can be no true victory and no true love. Much more exciting than him just victimizing the same woman for 40 years because he wants to reignite their spark.

I like how the show suppress its enormous emotions change under its calm and peaceful dialog, which brought so many philosophical thinks.

That's a very interesting comparison. Kubrick decided at the last moment to have Douglas Rain being the voice talent for HAL (instead of Martin Balsam), because D. Rain had that Mid-Atlantic accent, which is (was) associated with "professional fake-polite". It is (IMHO) open to interpreatation if HAL has more emotions than the humans. Politely suggesting the wrong (meaning: not the best possible) chess move (Kubrick was a master chess player), and killing innocent people because the mission is the most important - are more ice cold calculation than emotions (IMHO).

May i ask how you used the footage without breaking copyright rules or something?

I think once Delores becomes fully conscious, William will fall in love with her again. She is the reason he became a villain, and I believe she will bring him back. I also think she will gain access to all of her deleted memories, and remember that she once loved the young William. I also think that Bernard is going to resurrect Arnold. Perhaps Arnold copied his memories, and Bernard might upload them to his own mind.. Or we will see Ford comeback in a similar way. Someone will need to guide the Hosts, during their uprising.

Whenever I hear that HBO sound like you have at the beginning, for whatever reason, I always expect to hear the "Bored to Death" theme, even though I've seen other HBO shows more recently and more often, and it wasn't the first either.

There are a couple of instances that I found rather jarring. One was when William was telling Dolores about his fiancee on the train. She was upset, she left the room and he went after her, and made out with her. Another was when he met her as The Man In Black, and started beating her, and he said something along the lines of "look what you made me become". A person in a position of power (man / woman, guest / host, adult / child) blaming the latter for HIS response... it's classic abusive behavior. Look what you made me do! Both of those instances struck me as really selfish, or solipsistic. William was initially positioned as "the good guy" next to Logan, but I think Logan was ultimately right that William was quietly twisted on the inside. Once he gets past his veneer of being socially acceptable, he reveals himself to be deeply manipulative and narcissistic. (Contrast with Dolores telling him, "the maze isn't for you".) I might be projecting a little about William's overall disposition, but I can't see his love as anything more than a selfish, solipsistic love. Real love is patient, kind, gracious. William's love is possessive, vengeful.

This is an invitation to see a theory on the nature of time! In this theory we have an emergent uncertain future continuously coming into existence relative to the spontaneous absorption and emission of photon energy. Within such a process the wave particle duality of light and matter in the form of electrons is forming a blank canvas that we can interact with forming the possible into the actual! The future is unfolding with each photon electron coupling or dipole moment relative to the atoms of the periodic table and the wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum. As part of a universal process of energy exchange that forms the ever changing world of our everyday life the ‘past’ has gone forever. At the smallest scale of this process the ‘past’ is represented by anti-matter annihilation with the symmetry between matter and anti-matter representing the symmetry between the future and the past as the future unfolds photon by photon. In such a theory the mathematics of quantum mechanics represents the physics of ‘time’ with the classical physics of Newton representing processes over a period of time, as in Newton’s differential equations. In my videos I explain how this process is relative to temperature and the phase changes of matter.

whow. dont know if i can agree with your conclusion. maybe consciousness makes you good. obeying a narrative makes you evil. gotta be free to be good, and this is problem for both the guests and hosts. i duno. i love this show.

It is, and you should! It will take a little time, though, since it has a few more seasons than WW. (And don't forget about John Sayle's "Lone Star", it is truly a movie right up your alley!)

Valane haven't completed it so can't say.

I wish you would use more subjective language instead of talking in such absolutes. This is what you think, not what necessarily is. Through this lens I can appreciate what you have to say but it is hard to listen to when your statements sound so final.

Absolutely wrong about Ford

There are various scenes of 'the real world' buddy. Arnold takes Dolores to this world, she plays piano and is seen serving drinks to the humans. The entire point of this show is about AI finding themselves i.e. becoming conscious. It's not solely about control.

The path for consciousness leads to evil .. is it better for the hosts to remain in their dreamless slumber ?

I probably will be after Season II is fully released!

Look at the show again, and you will find out that you are wrong. Wrong in many ways. The second season will prove that.

Westworld season 1 = Book of Genesis. Ford = God, giving his creation free will. William = The Devil, in his search for that something else, we watch his fall from grace, and witness the push of Eve in the garden (Deloris in the maze). Deloris = Eve, her awakening causes her to lead Teddy down her path (Gives Adam the apple). Maive (The woman, "you will bruise her in the heal and she shall bruise you in the head) the line from which the Messiah shall be born to correct the error caused by The Devil.

you ramble monotonously without a CLEAR argument or analysis point.
