And the passage of time doesn't apply here, either. 85 00:05:31,333 --> 00:05:33,233 Anyway, to get back to what I was saying, 86 00:05:33,293 --> 00:05:36,563 setting aside those Individual Eleven that they think had manifested virus symptoms, 87 00:05:36,863 --> 00:05:38,703 what do you think about these "individualists"? 88 00:05:39,003 --> 00:05:42,633 For people who stress the importance of individuality, didn't they seem to lack it to you? 89 00:05:43,273 --> 00:05:44,473 That's certainly true. 90 00:05:44,713 --> 00:05:47,143 They may say that they look for value in their individual differences... 91 00:05:47,213 --> 00:05:50,273 ...by searching for isolation on the net or for proof of their own existence, 92 00:05:50,683 --> 00:05:53,773 but their attempts to reject people with different ideas... 93 00:05:53,883 --> 00:05:56,153 ...is one factor that binds them all together, don't you think? 94 00:05:56,253 --> 00:05:57,513 Yeah, you're right! 95 00:05:57,693 --> 00:05:59,923 I think that they're a group that seemed to have an identity, but didn't. 96 00:05:59,993 --> 00:06:01,823 They're people who tried so hard to find individuality... 97 00:06:01,893 --> 00:06:03,883 ...that they lapsed into a state of non-individuality. 98 00:06:03,963 --> 00:06:07,993 In a sense, I get the feeling that these people are the opposite of us. 99 00:06:08,103 --> 00:06:09,123 I think you're right. 100 00:06:09,403 --> 00:06:11,763 Even though we're obligated to synchronize with each other, 101 00:06:11,873 --> 00:06:14,393 we somehow managed to acquire individuality at one point. 102 00:06:14,803 --> 00:06:18,293 And now that we've got them to respect those differences as individuality, 103 00:06:18,443 --> 00:06:21,343 we only have to synchronize vital information now. 104 00:06:22,713 --> 00:06:26,513 If that's the case, and these individualists have become a group that's free of identity... 105 00:06:26,613 --> 00:06:29,313 ...exactly because they are trying to be individuals, 106 00:06:29,683 --> 00:06:34,353 who is it who makes the decisions of the group as a complex entity? 107 00:06:34,563 --> 00:06:37,763 As far as the Individual Eleven go, I'd say that the one who made the decisions... 108 00:06:37,763 --> 00:06:39,823 ...was Gohda of the Cabinet Intelligence Service. 109 00:06:39,893 --> 00:06:43,093 But they say that the terrorists who attacked the Chinese embassy were individualists... 110 00:06:43,163 --> 00:06:47,663 ...who turned up on their own, not because of a virus or whatever, remember? 111 00:06:47,943 --> 00:06:51,533 Admittedly, some sociologists say that the copycats who turned out in droves... 112 00:06:51,613 --> 00:06:54,513 ...during the Laughing Man incident are the real origin of the phenomenon. 113 00:06:54,943 --> 00:07:00,383 If that's true, wouldn't that mean that in their minds, they shared a common vision... 114 00:07:00,453 --> 00:07:04,483 ...that resembled this current situation even before Gohda got involved with his plans? 115 00:07:04,793 --> 00:07:07,813 Making the expulsion of refugees the general consensus of the citizenry, huh? 116 00:07:08,023 --> 00:07:11,053 If you're going to put it like that, it means that the refugees were already... 117 00:07:11,133 --> 00:07:14,863 ...carrying out terrorist acts even before the Individual Eleven came onto the scene, right? 118 00:07:15,163 --> 00:07:18,503 It's pretty strange. Even though no one is issuing commands, 119 00:07:18,573 --> 00:07:21,233 all the parties involved spontaneously began to move in the same direction. 120 00:07:21,503 --> 00:07:24,203 Or maybe humans have a third identity for making decisions. 121 00:07:24,273 --> 00:07:27,213 Something besides the individual or the collective. 122 00:07:27,543 --> 00:07:28,973 What do you mean? 123 00:07:32,383 --> 00:07:35,713 For instance, there's Dawkins, who looked for the promotion of the self... 124 00:07:35,783 --> 00:07:37,613 ...in genes on the micro level, 125 00:07:37,693 --> 00:07:41,523 and Lovelock, who focused on the extreme macro level, on an Earth-scale body. 126 00:07:40,323 --> 00:07:41,923 {\an8}The Earth biosphere! 127 00:07:41,523 --> 00:07:44,623 The two of them published works at roughly the same time that, 128 00:07:44,693 --> 00:07:46,533 although they had opposing themes, could be said... 129 00:07:46,533 --> 00:07:48,033 {\an8}This one! This one! 130 00:07:46,533 --> 00:07:49,023 ...to have arrived at roughly the same conclusion. 131 00:07:49,103 --> 00:07:50,653 What kinda stuff is written in there? 132 00:07:50,803 --> 00:07:52,933 I guess it's about how humans are the most logical entity, 133 00:07:53,003 --> 00:07:54,763 as well as the smallest unit possessing consciousness, 134 00:07:55,073 --> 00:07:58,733 and they both postulate and refer to the existence of the holonic architecture... 135 00:07:58,813 --> 00:08:02,003 ...of a species that is both greater than and smaller than itself. 136 00:08:02,083 --> 00:08:04,743 On other words, they imply that the factor that's determining... 137 00:08:04,853 --> 00:08:07,253 ...the actions of both the individualists and the refugees... 138 00:08:07,313 --> 00:08:10,153 ...either exists on the micro level and is smaller than each person, 139 00:08:10,223 --> 00:08:13,123 or is on the macro level, and is greater than the group. 140 00:08:13,223 --> 00:08:14,453 Gosh, that's hard to follow... 141 00:08:14,523 --> 00:08:15,853 It's simple! 142 00:08:15,963 --> 00:08:20,623 It means that as it is now, the net, which didn't exist before humanity called it into existence, 143 00:08:20,733 --> 00:08:26,723 loosely comprises a subconscious mind in the form of the general consensus of the whole... 144 00:08:27,103 --> 00:08:30,703 ...via their mental-level net and the electronic network which now covers most of the Earth. 145 00:08:30,773 --> 00:08:33,003 ...that loosely forms a subconscious mind in the form of the general consensus of the whole! 146 00:08:33,073 --> 00:08:33,973 You follow me? 147 00:08:34,043 --> 00:08:38,983 So what you're saying is, humans' bodies and minds are already two separate things, 148 00:08:39,053 --> 00:08:41,513 but they haven't noticed it yet? 149 00:08:41,723 --> 00:08:43,583 That would be my blunt, personal opinion, yeah. 150 00:08:44,693 --> 00:08:48,093 But we were leaning towards the conclusion that the body and mind are inseparable! 151 00:08:48,163 --> 00:08:49,923 This change of mind is a complete 180! 152 00:08:49,993 --> 00:08:54,323 If that's the case, then it would mean that Gohda deliberately manufactured... 153 00:08:54,363 --> 00:08:57,093 ...mediators that would accelerate that slow process? 154 00:08:58,073 --> 00:08:59,403 Hey! 155 00:09:04,543 --> 00:09:07,063 I'm done.
