    While I was watching psycho pass I wanted nothing more than Makishima to succeed in his plans because I would not like to live in a society that is Entirely run and controlled by a computer system.

      Its neither of those things, the premise is entirely unscientific and superficially philosophical. The whole show is about obeying authority, while anyone who is against sybil is shown as a sociopathic edgelord. One major loophole is also the fact that it implies criminally asymptomatic people are born that way, while saying that it has to do with their perception ethics, 2 contradictory statements. Also up until season 3, it didn't really paint a picture of the socio-economic landscape if the setting. Season 3 was a step towards the right direction though

    There's a huge difference between lifting your hand and making a huge decision like to commit a crime. Also as shown even in the series,the computer is far from being perfect. If we remove agency from people, we remove their resoonsibility as well. If we do something wrong,we have no one to blame but ourselves and it doesn't seem to me like a good idea to give up on all responsibility and leave it in hands of computer we don't control. I prefer to make 12 mistakes from which I can grow as a person and learn,rather than having a computer make 1 mistake for me.

      I agree …I had a similar convo with a friend who told me he doesn’t really believe in free will… if you have free will …your responsible for your actions … but I think we have weak willed people and people scared of responsibility…so people take comfort in the idea that they don’t have control and that it’s not their fault for how they act or present themselves … people want comfort and safety over freedom and opportunities

  • @tristanneal9552

    This was a great analysis of the first half of the season. Unfortunately, it looks like whoever wrote this didn't finish the season, because we discover that the Sybil System is neither objective nor a passive supercomputer. This analysis is a fantastic exploration of the world of Minority Report or similar stories, but not Psycho Pass (at least not Season 1). Still, the philosophy was incredibly interesting and worth the watch.

    • @cruzofabian
      @cruzofabian 5 років тому +18

      Actually, it got me thinking that maybe (and you have to stretch the idea quite a bit) the sybil system is a government, and maaaaybe a government is a computer (running really complex processes, with a really big number of processors called bureucrats) managing society. I have to side with the sybil system saying that the fact that it's just a bunch of people judging other people's psycho passes is irrelevant. Anyways, just a wandering thought.

    • @elmoglue
      @elmoglue 4 роки тому +53

      But the Sibyl System is objective. The only way a person can join the Sibyl System is if they’re criminally asymptomatic which (accdg. to them) usually means they are a person that always observed from an outside perspective and can make judgements without emotion, bias, prejudice, etc. They have their own ideals which, when added to the Sibyl system, will help evolve and expand it’s understanding of the human mind. They’re the most objective they can be.

One of the most plot driven shows ive ever seen in my life with a strict flow and timeline that leaves not even a single plot hole. Ive never been a fan of crime shows and I grew up on Law & Order, SVU, CSI, NCIS, Criminal Minds, etc... And none of them have been able to compare to Psycho Pass.

    "Don't sell me short. It's more than that. I may have the instincts to act aggressively. But it's my own choices to follow them through that define what I am. Without those conscious decisions my body only has impulses that will quickly fade away"
    To know that my mind commands certain actions is fascinating. But my will determines whether I'll see those actions through. A system that punishes me for having those instincts even when I'm too young to act on them is a fundamentally broken one. A man without agency is not a man at all.

    The issue with an all-knowing computer is that no system with a human hand is ever truly objective. There will always be some subjectiveness from the creator latent in the machine. For example, if a Nazi writes the programme for this thing, there would be a good probability that the machine may have some slight programming in which it treats anyone 'non-aryan' like crap. If you think this sounds far fetched, it was found that the algorithm in charge of scanning university applications for Oxford university had a preference for Christian/European names and thus discarded those without a recognisable name even if they were excellent potential students.

    • @lamarmcneil5655
      @lamarmcneil5655 5 років тому +25

      That's why the algorithm of the Sybil system (spoiler alert) is completely based on the psychology of individuals without emotions who simply have a desire to control society. Therefore, the society is essentially ruled with a completely objective, emotionless iron-fist.

    • @israfielvalhorn6460
      @israfielvalhorn6460 6 років тому +13

      Simple, the main problem was the first season. It set up the standard so high (like, masterpiece philosophical high), that the second season had to be a disappointment. There was action, yes, a few characters, but with half the number of episodes, it did not compensate and certainly was not as smart. While the first season was perfectly played out, the second felt like it HAD to exist because the fans asked for it. It was artificial, the thought was robotic and not actually smart... The second season is enjoyable, but it's cheap compared to the first season.

    • @DingoWing0
      @DingoWing0 6 років тому +8

      understandable i guess but only a disappointment when compared to season 1? You still think season 2 is worth being called good? i do. May not be a masterpiece but it's not like SAO season 1 compared to others.

      Exactly, standing on its own season 2 would have been good. Now, it's just ruining one hell of a brilliant story. Of course you don't have to watch it but still, it exists and that's a bad thing that they wasted time and money but not the same passion as in season 1. It's too bad really.

    Not to be a dick, but you guys kinda almost completely ignored the positives the series show the system does. Not just crime rates, but health, housing, education, and just general happiness levels.
    Our main proraganist is against the system whenever it takes actions that does more harm than what she thinks is possible. Brutal efficiency, replaced with humane calculation. That is why she tries to spare criminals whenever possible, tries to advocate for kinder treatment of victims... not just "because big brother, therefore it be bad"... its genuinely seeing that the system should be improved to be kinder, rather than just thinking the system itself is the inherent problem.

      Already in the beginning of the show, we see that the public are garenteed a very high standard of living, not to mention such a low crime rate, that people cant even fathom the idea of crime being something to fear. So... even if it was "literally a hivemind of psychopaths", sure as hell seems like decent result regardless.

    Brilliant job. More more more please.
    I must say, not every dystopia should be called Orwellian. For instance, in the section mentioning Orwell that then segued to its impact on art and music wasn't a salient point addressed in 1984. However, I do think Huxley has much to say about the world of Psycho-Pass. For comparison: the mention of art and music reminded me of a point in BNW's story when Watson, an Alpha frustrated looking to create art in a society that allowed no suffering, anxiety or emotion apart from joy expressed his frustrations to Mustapha Mond. Mond not only acknowledged this loss but then went on to argue considered it a reasonable trade-off. How is that not a brilliant parallel to Psycho-Pass?
    But seriously... can Jared do a segment just on explaining every reference made in Season 1?

    YAAAAAY You guys covered it! Thanks, this was pretty awesome and I'd love to see more :D
    One of the things I love about psychopass is that it's in the gray low-key dystopia where people are very well off and by the vast majority very well cared for, despite some of it's iffy-er aspects. It's the kind of interesting 'dystopia' that can pretty much say both, _"PTEH_ you got it WAY worse than us xDD" At the same time as saying, "Look at the upsides to what you have."
    Even though the Sybil system babies people too much and raises them to be too soft, and even though I would likely be flagged as a latent criminal (since just being able to think like a criminal is enough to raise your coefficient) I would still actually love to be a part of that system because of just how efficient it is at keeping people in good healthy states of being. The pros outweigh the cons for me but I'm a total softie like that I suppose xD
    I'd gladly take the tyranny of the Sybil system over the tyranny of the revolving door of inept fucks who one way or another bumble into power and make things worse for everyone.
    And what good is the faint opportunity to get power when most of what you'd strive to do _with_ any power has already been achieved?

If one stands at that point; they should understand that they will have the same be done to them. a sort of code of conduct.

      Eugene InLaw what we refer to as the black box describes the part of your mind you claim to not be actively aware of. It is not "the unconscious" though, that is an idea proposed by Sigmund Freud, not scientifically accurate and possibly wrong, but useful in psychology as it is a good model.
      The black box controls breathing, measuring, interpretation of the objects you see. Everything you can't claim to have control over. Like, you can hold your breath but there is something holding you back after your lungs are empty or how you have to blink after your eyes dry.
