So. To recap. I said here >>69016 That Pluribus really reminds me Better Call Saul. It's 90% filler just the same.
Then you said here >>69017
>it is an hermetic exploration of the human instrumentality project
And expanded upon that here >>69020
>Its the question if humanity in optimizing to minimize suffering is bound to seek unification as a single entity, because all suffering comes from the other, and we only truly reach total absence of suffering if nothing but the self exists. Which creates either a global self merge, or personal pocket universes in which you are all/god.
>Its the ultimate form of immenitizantion of the eschaton.

But then here >>69044
>Pluribus was written 10 years ago, around the time Vince was releasing Breaking Bad. At the time Vince experienced his first dealing with the collective of the internet, and two particular cases.
One, guilt over people who sided with Walter and enjoyed it as a dark escapist fantasy. Despite Vince himself using the show as his own dark escapist fantasy, he felt responsible for possibly causing harm in society.
>Two, the Skylar issue and the ensuing social network debates.
>The show deals with the protagonist's emotions and words having power over the pluribus and causing massive deaths, but at the same time they are not individuals so the deaths shouldn't even matter.
>As other Vince's works its primarily a self-serving fantasy, but its built on the sense with the internet alone we already morphed into a bit of a noosphere, and that certain people have more power to influence it than others and that comes with a moral price.
Which essentially means that Vince Gilligan when recognizing the damage he's causing to society by promoting anti-heroes instead of reconsidering his life and changing career as gardener, he goes on into another egotistic and megalomaniac fantasy.
Sounds like far cry from hermetic exploration of the human instrumentality project.
