Recently, I revisited the sci-fi film "Minority Report" which was directed by Steven Spielberg and starred in 2002 by Tom Cruise.
The film tells about the highly developed technology in 2054 that has enabled people to predict violent crimes and prevent them from occurring. But the US capital, where there has not been a murder in six years, is about to commit a life case, and the perpetrator is John Anderton, the head of the special department against premeditated crime. John didn't understand why he wanted to kill a person he had never known before. He felt framed, so he found out the truth while fleeing. The story began with the crime prevention system, and of course the FBI sent a young official to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the crime prevention system. The most secret "temple" in the film is actually the nickname of the "prophet" by the members of the crime prevention system, that is, the judge's working environment in the future. When they found the minority "prophet" (that is, one of the three foreseeers), with her help, the police captain avoided the chase from the system time and time again. However, the final mystery is that her mother was killed by everyone in the system. In order to keep her in the system, which minority prophet was playing back and forth like a nightmare. The founder said a thought-provoking sentence: "No one can stop him, because he is already part of the future.".
★Think about it, after all, the underlying reason is that any flawless system must be controlled by people with selfishness and distractions, which is also the most unstable factor. Even if a complete set of rules is formulated for the system to implement management, it still cannot eliminate the possibility of management fraud, commonly known as "black under the light".
★If the arbitrariness to prevent the incident is used to forcibly cut off a path from the "now" to the "future"? Which future will be dashed like a bubble? In fact, the future has not disappeared, but is interpreted by another possibility. Because in the future of parallel time and space, there will be infinite possibilities. If you think about it, in the final analysis, the so-called "prevention of crime" is the act of setting legal boundaries for human spiritual freedom. In fact, a multiple-choice question was changed abruptly into a single-choice question with only one wrong choice.
★ Deep thinking about the development of "foresight" is a terrible thing for mankind. In foreign words, "God's deeds from beginning to end cannot be understood by man." Because who can not have some selfish thoughts and want to predict the ambition of the future? Foresight is for greed, so who can bear the worries and fears? So Buddhism always says "live in the present".
