When Terminator movie is given much thought
Modern times have given more importance to creative man
as an autonomous genius embracing the characteristics of the divine creator.
The genius is the man who is not just capable of reproducing things
according to a given rule,
but of creating new rules.
Since ancient times,
man's creative imagination are closely related to our myths.
Our dreams,
and not so much our rationality,
are at the origin of artificiality.
The human condition being separated from death,
gives all our artificial products a mythological character.
Artificiality conceived as dreams to overcoming this condition,
as dreams of power.
When artificiality forgets its limits,
it gives rise to myths,
particularly when reason is sleeping but
also when it is dreaming,
the artificial becomes more like a nightmare than like something beneficial.
Man knows that one day,
it might just slash us all from our backs but
we ignored the consequences and continue to entangle
ourselves with new forms of computational artificiality.
A blind Nemesis ?
Maybe.
I will leave it to you to decide.
But when the day comes,
be prepared to resurrect Arnold Swarchenegger from the dead.
Till then,
I'll be back.
Hasta la vista, baby !
