Nemesis (1992) The future's not bright, but everybody wears shades anyway, especially cyborg cop Alex Rain, who's going through one of those "Am I still human?" existential crises as cyborgs are prone to do. Angst takes a backseat, though, when Alex uncovers an android plot to eradicate flesh and blood humans. This could've been just another schlocky sci-fi outing starring some random martial artist, but it's Albert Pyun, so it's dripping with style. What would video store shelves have done without him?
TIL: Neuroscientist Fr. Tadeusz Pacholczyk sees the transhumanist notion that our current human bodies don't represent the final state of our evolutionary development as being reflective of our inherent desire for transcendence. However, the problem is that transhumanism only promises transcendence of the body and not of the soul. As he puts it, "There’s a bigger kind of unsettledness at the heart of who we are and simple longevity and life extension isn’t going to address that at its core."
I HAVE SOME NOTES: Continuing to jot down thoughts on my daily Scripture readings because the Pope hasn't told me to knock it off yet.
