IE censorship) You're willing to consider both sides and reason through things, instead of censoring it. Taking him with you is a way of saying, I don't always agree with you, but having a second perspective on things, even if you don't agree with it, is better than either extreme (extreme positivity or negativity. Not taking him with you is the same thing as not listening to your subconscious. Milton is that thing in your head telling you that you're not good enough, and that you can't do this or that. You're poking holes in your own story, and learning from it. Milton is that part of your body that gets jealous, wants to get revenge, and also tells you not to touch a hot stovetop.ĭuring the Q&A with Milton, you're not fighting with another individual, you're fighting with yourself.
Milton is that doubt in everybody's head. You can think, reason, and now DOUBT things. in doing so, you are now sentient, and exhibit the same behavioral patterns as a human.

At the end you're given the ability to download Milton and "take him with you". You acted for yourself, and you made your own decisions. In the tower ending, you've shown the ability to think for yourself, to do things that you're told you shouldn't do. You still behave like a computer program. The basic ending of the game, you do everything you're told and you get reset because you lack "independence" or what not. Milton is the devil's advocate in everybody's head. that "voice of reason", voice of doubt, subconsciousness. My personal interpretation, and I haven't seen anyone else talk about this, is that Milton is more of that "voice in your head" that all humans have.
which is what the game is essentially about, I think. I think the Q&A is an attempt to show this, and whether you're right or wrong, being able to brainstorm and work through complex situations is one step closer to becoming sentient. Sentient beings are able to be more complex in their thinking and reasoning. The point is that no matter what your answer is, you can almost never apply it directly to other situations without adding more clauses to it. Obviously you could poke holes in that logic, and if you did that we'd be going back and forth debating this all day. All people should be treated equally and given the same rights as long as they are good people and contribute to the overall well-being of humanity as a whole. the whole one bad apple spoils the bunch mentality. But what happens when BAD people are a drain on society and hurt otherwise GOOD people who contribute things? If you treat them the same as the GOOD people, then you get taken advantage of and eventually society can breakdown. That sounds like a very fair system, and a potentially universal truth. Your answers to questions sound right, but when more variables are introduced, your original answer is no longer adequate, and if anything, can be used to show you in a different light.Īll people should be treated equally and given the same rights. I personally feel the Q&A is more of an exercise of showing you that your first reactions and thoughts to things are often vague and cannot be blanket responses for more complex scenarios. Even the simple choices can be extended to complex situations that mean that your answer is no longer black and white. No matter what you would be able to say, Milton would find holes to poke in it anyways.
I feel like the questions and answers were fair enough.
