Movie:Wall-e
PDI(potentially dangerous ideology):being granted access to unlimited resources and technologies will inevitably result in the declination of the evolution of the human race rendering us immobile and out of phase with realty
Okay so I wanted to try this out after watching a movie the other night and start up a game-like discussion thread where I'm given a movie and I have to come up with any potentially dangerous ideology being conveyed to any audience. Every movie can be made an open platform for further discussion if anything can be added and open, civil debate highly welcomed. Long live critical thought!!!

Not reality, evolution never stops. The likely resulting scenario is that the vast majority of the population will be obese and overweight, probably die. With a small amount, will be the guys that are bathing in ice cold lakes at 6 in the morning just to train their bodies.

Thanks you for the response. What I meant to offer for the reader was a means of calling out the movie for trying to imply that what will become of humanity is inevitably the result in most human becoming obese and will therefore, like you said, continuously evolve to a point in which walking around will be made obsolete. I disagree with this being the most likely outcome though and I think I have reason to believe that with proper education and implementation of our means to create robots in order to serve labourous functions, for basic examples argument, such as running restaurants and even to regulate our own diets, the world might collectively be able to work for progress that would benefit all.
I think a better question to ask here would be why this ideology might hold some potential harm and I would argue that what this does is leave the audience accepting of not having to work for the progression of society and technology and to be willing to accept the our current fates as a potential best case scenario. I don't believe however that we are all equally educated and are even deprived of proper understanding of our current realities because it further helps large companies like McDonald's and even Disney for their consumers to mindlessly indulge without consideration of their own health, financial states or even being able to logically makes sense and understand the ideologies we hold.
I'd also like to point out that I believe this specific ideology of "fear the machine" has been being forced upon us in varies cases such as Terminator or IRobot. Maybe I'm too much of an optimist but I believe that a better world could be obtained but that our media and own unwillingness to learn might just be the perfect enemy.

It's not a fear that came out of nowhere. Engineers themselves are very wary of failures behind the devices they create, that's why they plan for it. Either to avoid or reduce it. Failure is inevitable, so adopting an idealistic perspective won't work at all.

Of course failures are unavoidable and problems will always arise, but by that logic horse carriage companies could have easily used propaganda of sorts to demonized the creation of the automobile. What happened there though? It revolutionized travel and created millions of new jobs for people in order to learn to maintain and engineer. The statement: failure is enevitable therefore idealistic perspectives are wrong just doesn't make sense to me. Should we give up the field of medicine because people will always somehow find a way to get sick? Lol
/ic/ is about form, not content. The proper place to discuss this would be /co/, but most of them aren't smart enough to pick up on implicit themes and would inevitably just start shitposting about Trump and SJWs.

I'm pretty nooby when it comes to 4chan. I appreciate that. Do you know if there's any way to transfer a thread? I'd love to get this topic going
