| Are there Philosophical Resources that Further Flesh Out Morpheus's Dialogue in the Game? Posted: 12 May 2021 08:39 PM PDT I played all the Metal Gear games as a teenager, so I have grown very fond of the kind of art that culminates in barely-coherent philosophical babble that's so thinly-veiled that the characters might as well be looking right down the camera and addressing me by name before saying each line. I also like speculating and contemplating morality and philosophy within the context of the advancements and regression the human race will experience in the future. Every time I play Deus Ex, I always hunt down the rambli-est conversations and sometimes play through them several times, just to more fully comprehend what they're trying to argue. I love it. I crave more. I'm particularly interested in any resources that cover topics like the conversations Denton has with Morpheus, where they argue with each other about the underlining desires of human beings, particularly technology's eventual elevation to godlike beings of apparition and observation, which humans will worship and become psychologically dependent on. The line about humans needing to be "assimilated into higher forms of structure and meaning." in particular has been eating away at my brain for years at this point, and I don't even know if I agree with it or not, I'm just massively into it, conceptually. I desperately wanted there to have been some specific book that the conversation was based on, but I haven't found enough about it to satiate my hunger. Zsoro wrote a fantastic article that adds a ton of much needed extrapolation and interpretation to the conversation, including a quoted passage from Albert Campus' 1951 book The Rebel, but the article as a whole has a grander scope, and the Morpheus conversation is only a section of the whole essay. Additionally, the passage from the book seems to not be the focus of the book itself, but merely a small part of a larger discussion about rebellion and revolution in society(definitely will still check it out!). /u/AdmiralKurita posted on here a couple months ago connecting the conversation to an Anthropological article about the sociological role of "Big God" in civilization, and shares his own take on the subject from his view as a moral sentimentalist, which was also very interesting to read through. But I'd love to look through some resources that go into this kind of discussion even deeper. Either through the lens of technology, or general discussions about the nature of human desire, vis-a-vis concepts like consciousness, order and structure, and society's role in determining human value. If anyone has any book or essay recommendations that cover topics like this, I'd love to hear them! And if not, you can also just use this space to geek out over concepts and conversations in Deus Ex that blew your mind and significantly influenced the way you view the world around you.

| WE SHOULD TOTALLY PORT DEUSEX INTO VR Posted: 12 May 2021 09:31 AM PDT Just imagine it! It bould be a great secret agent simulator, and who wouldn't want to be in the world of deus Ex for a moment, Idk just think of it guys, I think it would be priceless and shitpost material. Plus I believe that it would be easy to port and we could even play it directly on the quest 2. What do you think? I would do it my self but I don't have any experience porting games, but someone that has that knowledge, I'm pretty sure it will be a pease of cake. [link] [comments] |
