And the passage of time doesn't apply here, either. 85 00:05:31,290 --> 00:05:33,190 Anyway, to get back to what I was saying, 86 00:05:33,250 --> 00:05:36,520 setting aside those Individual Eleven that they think had manifested virus symptoms, 87 00:05:36,820 --> 00:05:38,660 what do you think about these "individualists"? 88 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,590 For people who stress the importance of individuality, didn't they seem to lack it to you? 89 00:05:43,230 --> 00:05:44,430 That's certainly true. 90 00:05:44,670 --> 00:05:47,100 They may say that they look for value in their individual differences... 91 00:05:47,170 --> 00:05:50,230 ...by searching for isolation on the net or for proof of their own existence, 92 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,730 but their attempts to reject people with different ideas... 93 00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:56,110 ...is one factor that binds them all together, don't you think? 94 00:05:56,210 --> 00:05:57,470 Yeah, you're right! 95 00:05:57,650 --> 00:05:59,880 I think that they're a group that seemed to have an identity, but didn't. 96 00:05:59,950 --> 00:06:01,780 They're people who tried so hard to find individuality... 97 00:06:01,850 --> 00:06:03,840 ...that they lapsed into a state of non-individuality. 98 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,950 In a sense, I get the feeling that these people are the opposite of us. 99 00:06:08,060 --> 00:06:09,080 I think you're right. 100 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,720 Even though we're obligated to synchronize with each other, 101 00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:14,350 we somehow managed to acquire individuality at one point. 102 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,250 And now that we've got them to respect those differences as individuality, 103 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,300 we only have to synchronize vital information now. 104 00:06:22,670 --> 00:06:26,470 If that's the case, and these individualists have become a group that's free of identity... 105 00:06:26,570 --> 00:06:29,270 ...exactly because they are trying to be individuals, 106 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,310 who is it who makes the decisions of the group as a complex entity? 107 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,720 As far as the Individual Eleven go, I'd say that the one who made the decisions... 108 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,780 ...was Gohda of the Cabinet Intelligence Service. 109 00:06:39,850 --> 00:06:43,050 But they say that the terrorists who attacked the Chinese embassy were individualists... 110 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,620 ...who turned up on their own, not because of a virus or whatever, remember? 111 00:06:47,900 --> 00:06:51,490 Admittedly, some sociologists say that the copycats who turned out in droves... 112 00:06:51,570 --> 00:06:54,470 ...during the Laughing Man incident are the real origin of the phenomenon. 113 00:06:54,900 --> 00:07:00,340 If that's true, wouldn't that mean that in their minds, they shared a common vision... 114 00:07:00,410 --> 00:07:04,440 ...that resembled this current situation even before Gohda got involved with his plans? 115 00:07:04,750 --> 00:07:07,770 Making the expulsion of refugees the general consensus of the citizenry, huh? 116 00:07:07,980 --> 00:07:11,010 If you're going to put it like that, it means that the refugees were already... 117 00:07:11,090 --> 00:07:14,820 ...carrying out terrorist acts even before the Individual Eleven came onto the scene, right? 118 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,460 It's pretty strange. Even though no one is issuing commands, 119 00:07:18,530 --> 00:07:21,190 all the parties involved spontaneously began to move in the same direction. 120 00:07:21,460 --> 00:07:24,160 Or maybe humans have a third identity for making decisions. 121 00:07:24,230 --> 00:07:27,170 Something besides the individual or the collective. 122 00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:28,930 What do you mean? 123 00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:35,670 For instance, there's Dawkins, who looked for the promotion of the self... 124 00:07:35,740 --> 00:07:37,570 ...in genes on the micro level, 125 00:07:37,650 --> 00:07:41,480 and Lovelock, who focused on the extreme macro level, on an Earth-scale body. 126 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,880 {\an8}The Earth biosphere! 127 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,580 The two of them published works at roughly the same time that, 128 00:07:44,650 --> 00:07:46,490 although they had opposing themes, could be said... 129 00:07:46,490 --> 00:07:47,990 {\an8}This one! This one! 130 00:07:46,490 --> 00:07:48,980 ...to have arrived at roughly the same conclusion. 131 00:07:49,060 --> 00:07:50,610 What kinda stuff is written in there? 132 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,890 I guess it's about how humans are the most logical entity, 133 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,720 as well as the smallest unit possessing consciousness, 134 00:07:55,030 --> 00:07:58,690 and they both postulate and refer to the existence of the holonic architecture... 135 00:07:58,770 --> 00:08:01,960 ...of a species that is both greater than and smaller than itself. 136 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,700 On other words, they imply that the factor that's determining... 137 00:08:04,810 --> 00:08:07,210 ...the actions of both the individualists and the refugees... 138 00:08:07,270 --> 00:08:10,110 ...either exists on the micro level and is smaller than each person, 139 00:08:10,180 --> 00:08:13,080 or is on the macro level, and is greater than the group. 140 00:08:13,180 --> 00:08:14,410 Gosh, that's hard to follow... 141 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:15,810 It's simple! 142 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,580 It means that as it is now, the net, which didn't exist before humanity called it into existence, 143 00:08:20,690 --> 00:08:26,680 loosely comprises a subconscious mind in the form of the general consensus of the whole... 144 00:08:27,060 --> 00:08:30,660 ...via their mental-level net and the electronic network which now covers most of the Earth. 145 00:08:30,730 --> 00:08:32,960 ...that loosely forms a subconscious mind in the form of the general consensus of the whole! 146 00:08:33,030 --> 00:08:33,930 You follow me? 147 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,940 So what you're saying is, humans' bodies and minds are already two separate things, 148 00:08:39,010 --> 00:08:41,470 but they haven't noticed it yet? 149 00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:43,540 That would be my blunt, personal opinion, yeah. 150 00:08:44,650 --> 00:08:48,050 But we were leaning towards the conclusion that the body and mind are inseparable! 151 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,880 This change of mind is a complete 180! 152 00:08:49,950 --> 00:08:54,280 If that's the case, then it would mean that Gohda deliberately manufactured... 153 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,050 ...mediators that would accelerate that slow process? 154 00:08:58,030 --> 00:08:59,360 Hey! 155 00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:07,020 I'm done.
