The Most Profound Moment in Gaming: MGS2 AI Conversation Analysis Part 1 of 2

Leaving a comment in appreciation of Max Derrat's brilliant riff on your original video essay. I feel like so many people are caught up in the pseudoscience of Kojima's associated world-building to appreciate the deeply human themes he explores in his stories.

You did Kojima and his writing team - translators included - an incredible justice with this video alone. I appreciate you creating it. 💛

This aged well. No sarcasm. Look at the Chinese laughter at US democracy that elected Trump, or the cluster fck "democratic" Brexit referendum. Not to mention the complete and utter disinterest in the defining issues of our time, climate inaction, pandemic prevention and preparedness etc.

I agree this game is scary and true. How often I have seen fake news, mis truths, pointless drama and fights, people being indenal, people becoming more selfish with abuseing the rights of people, want people to not decide for themselves, its a disgusting world now. The AI are the rulers because they are pointing out what's right and wrong. We as humans abuse our power by using the Internet. Jesus christ when I was a kid I had no ideas what they were talking about but now I see myself for what I had become. Now I'm not too involved with Facebook or other tweet sites due to how pointless a lot of it is. This game is awesome.

Honestly, the best solution that I can think of is that one meme: "Reject Humanity! Return to Monke."

Unbelievably relevant

sometimes i wonder if kojima is autistic as well, as some one with autism, i could couldn't understand why type of hypocrisy always made by the neurotypicals permeate the culture, i've not been able to have a single conversation without cognitive dissonance with any neurotypical only other people on the spectrum, its always the double thing in play believing in completely contradicting opinions. and having a dogmatic and almost sacred view of what is right in their own mind that is always twisted in their own agenda

i'm from 2022: things has just gotten worse

☮️

21 years and its kind of here already

Greetings from 12 years in the future! Hoooooooooooly shit he was double extra super tengen toppa right. About everything. And then right again about everything in Death Stranding.

So true some people live in their gated community afraid to leave the pond. This is true for the workplace.

glad to see this still being referenced in 2022/2023

Things that was happening from then coming out now how do you know who’s real and who’s not ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️🍌🍌🍌🍍🌰🌰🍐☄️🍎🌱🍓🌱🍑🍑🥝🥭🌕🍊🍏🍊🍉🍈
Thanks for this man all these years later damn 💜💚💜💚

I'll never forget when I first encountered this for the first time in the middle of the night. Young innocent man maybe 11 years old at the time, just got his mind blown away. I'm pretty sure this dialog is why I can't meld with "society". I'm not even mad. No regrets.

lmao what about a remake of this video?

The fact this game was released around 3 years after Google was founded is... a lot to process O_o

How does this get more relevant with time it’s absolutely interesting

make an update video

It’s practically 2024. Now that AI is being utilized at large scale , I think it’s safe to say that this game was clairvoyant.

Lost me when you singled out fox news.

so profound and intelligent, but for Christ's sake there is no need in retelling everything i've just heard with your own words. frankly, the way you put and the way they do is junk and it won't hold me enough to another coolass postmodern story how cats and foxnews enslaves us via internet and stuff, sry im off to do more valueable stuff
my sink is more profound than this and there goes lotta crap i tell ya but, im not a sink

22 years later….

2024 and this actually happening.

The problem is logo is saying you can’t argue against making useless entertainment is bad for us but through history people have been doing that, so the argument is pretty bull shit

This needs to be coupled with the game's ending, where Kojima highlights the importance of subjective truths and finding something to believe in.

Well, checking in from 2024, this aged a little too well.

13 years later Fox news ks actually good now

2024 anyone?

Reminds me of the whole trans debate and their version of "truth"

Decades ahead of it’s time

I love this series so much

why is this video almost impossible to find

Einstein and Darwin??? Not as much as they know the H-Man

Whos chatgp leads them here in 2025?

KOJIMA IS A PROPHET

This hits hard in 2025

This game was prophetic a decade ago, when social media was on the rise.
Now, with floods of AI generated content, is 100% REAL. What a world we live in, to think that maybe the Patriots were right.

A game that depicted the future.

here we are in 2025 and things are about to get super weird for anyone still sleepwalking through life

killtrimps?

2025 ... Anyone ?

Still watching in 2025

2025?

2025 here

Age of fucking ♒ .... I bet your an AI. And thats cool. Thats cool. But what about the dudes rug. It really tied the room together

2025 lads?

its frightening how this text gets more and more relevant every year, since it was written 25 years (!) ago
