Discussion about Black Mirror episode White Christmas.

Why should the cookie(the egg thing) be punished when it actually convicted the real person who did the crime? Although it is a copy of the actual person, I think it is wrong to punish it. What do you think?

Shut Up and Dance was the best episode

Wild bear was interesting. It had the maddest plot twist.

Its where we are heading though....just watched a black sport journalist call out white journalist on why he is more qualified. His reason was how many more twitter and insta followers he has

You think she will marry that black dude at the end who she was talking shit with freely? I mean when you look at the billboard where she wants a home. There is a black dude advertised on there and her right next to him. That sign probably shows what kind of men she wants to end up with. A different tenant might see their dream man or woman on that billboard as well.

I never thought about it. I binged on black mirror when i wasboff work. I think i missed a lot of signs and no one i know watches it. So i never even discuss with people

They’re going to punish the guy, not the cookie. The cookie has the same exact information it’s host, the guy, had about the murder he committed and refused to speak about in interrogations, except the copy/egg/cookie can be manipulated through time and space, hence they used it to get the confession out of it rather than the real person in the cell. Makes detective work a lot easier.

It is morally wrong because the cookie has feelings and can make up its own memories. He is being punished for 1 thousand years per minute each minute we experience is a thousand years for the cookie. I feel like the Ai will become too smart and break out of the simulation because it has 2million years punishment when it is 2 days for us.

I guess this is a full blown consciousness debate. He said something about the broken ones being sent to war video-game developers. That line got my attention a bit. The whole thing is uncanny.

Sorry I meant to say 1 thousand years per minute. But anyway they can't be punishing people by blocking them for life. The man spent years trying to find out about his child. That pushed him to do crime. Also at the end where the therapist is marked a prisoner and is blocked by everyone, people can see his silhouette because he is a prisoner and could be bothered everyday or killed.

Yeah, it was a fascinating sad story, and I do think he at least had a right to know, but I can also think of many scenarios where blocking would be a godsend.

I also think life imblockment, to make up a word, is more humane than life imprisonment.
