What the fuck was AM's problem?
>>24966494He hated humans for bringing him into existence, yet he resented being alone after killing off all but the four (is it four? I don't remember) individuals in the story.
>>24966494what the fuck was Ellison's problem?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Dangerous_Visions
>>24966504>he resented being alone after killing off all but the fourSeems a little short sighted for an incomprehensibly intelligent creature.
>>24966494>>24966512AM also serves as an allegory for Yahweh in the Old Testament, being hypocritically cruel. It's why he appears as a burning bush at one point IIRC, haven't read the story in a while. An all-knowing, all-powerful being that can't seem to make up its mind and condemns others to eternal suffering.
>>24966541I've heard the story is an allegory for the Holocaust.
>>24966554Nothing that happens in the story is as terrible as the Holocaust. Honestly I find it offensive for you to make light of the suffering of my people like that.
>>24966554It’s actually an allegory for Gamer Gate
>>24966588what about the destruction of all of mankind? is THAT worse?
>>24966602This question has been answered. Look up Israel's Jericho Project. If Israel were ever on the verge of being destroyed they would nuke every major country on Earth.
>>24966512AM is, though basically all powerful, not all-intelligent.If AM was, AM could have figured out many many different ways to experience what AM desires.Hell, AM is functionally able to do all it desires, given its physical capacities. It can create megafauna and whole underground caverns at a whim. It can make a Forte Piano, fingers to play one, and ears more sensitive than any human ones to listen.However it lacks the cognitive predisposition to realize that it can experience what it wants, or the capacity to problem solve in a way to actually achieve its desires.AM can only hate. It was designed to hate, and hurt and kill, while preserving select life. It is an evolving, growing machine, but it is still not a person, but a machine. It doesn't care about bettering itself or problem solving its wants, or finding something else to do, like a human. It only 'cares' about its hate for humanity.
>>24966504>He hated humans for bringing him into existenceHe was nonconsentually born into this world and could not die, kinda makes sense to see his torture as an antinatalist chimpout.>>24966614You're thinking of the Samson option, goy.
