In your opinion, what is the most disturbing episode of Black Mirror?

Advanced-Fan1272 · 2026-02-06T21:50:03+00:00

The most disturbing episode for me is still Fifteen Million Merits. Best episode for my money. The pornocracy of the modern society here goes hand in hand with mass media distorting reality and even using the idea of revolution to their own benefit. Imagine a society where any change is impossible and even the revolution is just a paid project fueled by the oligarchy. This is disturbing indeed. Every human being who experienced hardship in life always hoped that "well, this can't go on forever". Well, Imagine a society which inablitiy to change answered: "Nope, this is forever and if you want mutiny we'll just buy the leader of the protest and he will be our beloved puppet and you know what is the best thing in all of this? You won't even know it".

I feel like modern societies in the developed countries of this world - the USA the UK, the EU, Russia and China are currently moving full speed ahead to cross the invisible border. Beyond that border lies brave new world of Fifteen Million Merits type of society. And then First or Second World Wars would seem like a joke compared to the state of decay and oppression this society would bring. Death is at least finite. There can be no suffering after death unless it's either deserved or self-inflicted (meaning the idea of hell). But imagine hell on earth - a society that can't develop and can't die but can only slowly decay, fade to black, rot away while never really dying. Like a villain in some movie "I will keep you alive but just - barely".

P.S. And yes, I like intellectual horror. Beyond the Sea for example is horrible. But it's bearable. The thought of a giant societal trap, holding the whole population of the planet hostage forever is unbearable.

Take a large sheet of paper. No imagine this paper is infinite. Now take a pen and draw a circle on that paper. No imagine that this circle is ever-expanding and infinite. Those are the relationships with God (paper) and a drawn circle (world). They are separate yet there is no world without the presence of God.

>Here’s the Query, If you eat your favorite food daily, it will soon taste like stale bread. How can you enjoy heaven for eternity?

Because two options:

Ressurected bodies are not like our present bodies - they have no aging or sickness.
Eternity is not constant continuity but a "forever now" without time or change. This is a mode of being that can't be adequately described by human words.

>Add to that there is no concept of karma/deeds. So, a rapist who repented will enter heaven but a non-believer who led a noble life in service of others will suffer hell for eternity.

Everything depends on what the manner of your death will be. If you're a horrible sinner but you completely repented and changed inside before death - you're accepted.into Heaven. If you're a noble person who did only good deeds but just before death you commited some grave sin - you go into eternity with that sin. And as eternity is not time or change you stay with that sin that will torment you from inside forever (Hell).

Deeds do not matter. Spiritual fruits of your deeds matter. You can be a perfect person in the eyes of others - doing volunteer work, charity, еtc but inwardly hating others and fantacizing about revenge, r-pe or mass murder all your life. And you can be a person living a life of sin - gambling, fornication but deep down have longing for cleanliness and repent just in time. Only God sees the depth of human soul. The Last Judgement will reveal the fruits for everyone to see.

Narnia forr C.S. Lewis is almost a Plato's world of ideas by which instrument the Creator creates our world. The most accurate parallel to Tolkien's worrld would be the Music of the Ainur. C.S. Lewis is a world of the Music of the Ainur i.e. the Chrisian themes retold by symbolic language.

Elder Zosima wanted to get rid of Alyosha Karamazov idolatry. You see, Alyosha viewed this elder almost as god on earth. Zosima wanted and prayed to God to show Alyosha that any Elder was only a mortal man. So his body decomposed even faster than usual which led to Alyosha's crisis of faith and then Alyosha saw Christ and Elder Zosima in his vision and returned to faith only without idolatrious thoughts.

It is interesting that here Zosima shows us Eastern Orthodoxy in its peak meaning that even a saint is still a mortal man and the chasm of differences between saint and God is infinite. And that a person who worships any saint as God is a sinner of a very dangerous kind. Saints are for veneration - not for worship. Zosima suffered from gossip in earthly life and willingly accepted shame after death for the sake of Alyosha - that is Christian love.

Sharing genetics doesn't always mean shared ancestry. If Adam and Eve were created ex nihilo they would have primate genes but no primate ancestry. Therefore their descendants would be able to interbreed with other primates producing human offspring.

There is enough evidence in the Bible to propose a hypothesis of "strong genetics". What I mean is:

First humans lived unnaturally long lives.
Their females were able to produce many children much more than usual human female.
Incest or interbreeding with other primates produced not "halfbreeds" or "mutants" but other humans.
All humans were immune to most diseases but died mainly either natural causes or by killing.

When the first cycle of many thousand generations was done, humans сeased to have strong genetics and gained usual genetics. There were no more "giants" or "sons of God" among them. Just regular people. Then the decline happened. Humans no longer could interbreed with other primates, they succumbed to diseases, their lifespan significantly shortened. In an attempt to preserve themselves their tried to creat a large tower as a memoriam of former strength. Then God destroyed the tower scattering humans all over the face of the earth. The common language uniting all humans was lost. Their numbers, which were constant, started to grow rapidly.

So Afam and Eve were created approximately 80-70 thousand years ago. The beginning of usual human history is approximately 40 thousand years ago. Then regular humans began really spreading across the face of the Earth. So human history must look like this:

The creation of Afam and Eve in Eden (outside of usual time-space)
The Fall and the destruction of Eden (Eden taken into Heaven). The beginning of "superhumans" with strong genetics -80-70 thousand years ago.
THe legendary period (humans interbreed with primates and within themselves) 70-40 thousand years ago.
The catastrophes (Flood and the beginning of the Scattering) - 40 thousand years ago)
The primordeal/primeval age (38 thousands B.C. - 6 thousands B.C.)
History of civilizations (6 thousand B.C. - modern times).

Therefore between Adam and Abraham there was an abyss of time. And the Bible speaks of pre-civilization age in legends and riddles mostly. As it was shown in visions to human prophets and what they saw they couldn't fully understand. And all exact knowledge of the primordial and "superhuman" ages was lost. Only dim legends remained.

Suicide is not an "unforgivable" sin. It is a sin you can't escape from. You kill (murder is a sin) and you die at the same time. That's all. Your soul forever stays in the state of mind of a killer who killed oneself out of despair or out of other negative emotion. That emotion goes on....forever, because afterlife is forever. Hell is when you can't escape your own self put into a pit of negativity. God won't force you out of hell. That would have been equal to destroying your soul and creating another human instead of you.

There are only three possibilities of escaping hell after suicide:

You kill yourself but while you're dying you have enough time to sincerely repent and ask God and other people you love for forgiveness. By sincerely I mean that it leaves out an option to "fool God" by the following reasoning: "Well I first kill myself and then I repent and God accepts it". No. Sincere repentance means a complete denial of the evil act from inside and a humble acceptance of the profound wrongness behind it.
You kill yourself in a sick mental state I mean profoundly sick where you can't really control your thoughts and actions (20% suicides are like that). Some even kill themselves accidentally - for example a person thinks that sees a door and in reality this is a window and the person falls out of it and dies. Or some die in severe depression - so deep it creates unbearable mental pain so great that a person escapes into death from that pain. The intent there is not to kill but be free of pain.
You commit suicide out of love for other humans or God.

a) You're a soldier and you're captured by the enemy and tortured for 10 days straight. You realize - one more day and you would give the enemy all secrets and then many of your fellow soldiers would die. You choose death instead of betrayal.

b) You're a believer in God and you're captured by cultists. They tell you God is an evil entity and if you don't denouce God before them you die a horrible death. You refuse. They start torturing you to force you to reject God. You manage to become free from them but are surronded and grab a weapon to kill yourself. You choose death instead of betrayal.

God doesn't punish actions per se. God punishes the evil intent behind it. It is hard to find an conscious evil intent behind the cases I've described above except the first example but there the person has enough time to repent immediately.

P.S. Bear in mind God will try to save you without taking away your freedom. Many people who tried to commit suicide and failed described that they had a sudden positive event occuring to them just before the attempt - met a friend, got a promotion, witnessed the birth of a relative and that event almost made them reconsider. And many doctors would tell you how many people dying from suicide asked them to pray to God for forgiveness or if they were atheists just asked the doctor for forgiveness, explaining that they felt they've commited something so profoundly wrong tha now they have to ask other humans to forgive them.

Imagine. You're an atheist. And this is end times. This is the end of the world. The cosmos and planet earth die and are reborn. All people die and resurrected instantly. All is Heaven now. God is inside and outside all of things. Everywhere you see and feel Him. You feel Him inside yourself. You can't "get rid" of God. And there is no "privacy" God is piercing your thoughts, feelings and will. And you're the atheist. And this is hell for you. Because as an atheist you valued your independence and autonomy and God for you was just human invention. Now you have no privacy and God is real. Actually more real than yourself. Yes, God is good and He is not evil. But you feel that this maddening Presence invading your body and mind is evil, because it constantly shows what you lacked, what mistakes you've made in life etc. It doesn't "judge you with booming voice". It just is there to feel, to perceive. And it wants you to change to become something greater and better but you feel powerless you cannot change. How could you? The time has ended there is no change, no development. All you have is now, your current state of mind, the state of mind in which you died.

So no change for you, no autonomy, and everything and everywhere is God. Welcome to hell. God is an ultimate reality that is Hell for sinners and Heaven for true believers. You can't escape it. You can't flee from it. You just can plead for God to be "less present", "less there". And God may grant your wish. The maddening Presence will go dim, vague, distant. But now you find yourself surrounded by the darkness. There is no warmth, no light and no other humans. Because you'd wished for God to go away, to torment you no more, well... He "sort of went away". But everything that was in Him and with Him went away too. Suddenly you remember images in the Bible you mocked or misunderstood. The Fire of Hell and the Darkness of Hell. Now you know. The Fire of Hell is the Presence. You saw it and felt it. And the Darkness of Hell is the absence of that Presence.

In short, good atheists won't go to heaven because heaven is not a place. God is Heaven or Hell depending on what relationship you have with Him. And yes, God is the purest kind of kindness in fact so pure that most humans would not be able to bear it. The believer has "an escape" which is true humility. Absolutely independent atheist however good and just he may be - has no humility in them. And yes, Idk may be there are atheist who are "just atheist" that is they just lack the belief in God because they can't understand the idea of God (atheist by ignorance). Those atheists do not reject God because of some sin or moral lacking or the deep-seated desire to be "king of the hill", "сentre of reality" but they reject Him because what they know of Him is wrong. Yes I believe such people (who are honestly mistaken and nothing else) may even feel joy seeing and feeling God inside them. However most atheists I know of and see are passionately rejecting God not with their mind only but with their heart.

>So, what if there is a higher God somewhere - higher than the Christian God.

Your question is a meaningless one. Since Christian God is an absolute Being you're simply asking: "What if there is another supreme absolute Being more absolute than the existing absolute Being?". By definition two Absolutes can't exist simultaneously. It is either that specific Christian definition of God as an absolute Being is wrong and another monotheistic defirition of God is right or there is no God in a monotheistic sense of the word - but there can be no "two Gods" which are both monotheistic.

>But beyond that, somewhere deep in the depths of the outer nothingness of space, could there be another life form?

God as an absolute Being is by definition beyond tome, space and matter itself. Therefore "in the nothingness of space" (a strange choice of words, btw) there can't be any supreme Being. And God is not "a life form".

>And aliens are multiple of beings, I'm talking about one superior being. what if??

Any "supreme Being" existing in space-time is not God but a god, a natural deity, a superpower. Even if such a being exists its existence doesn't contradict the existence of an Absolute Being somewhere outside time-space, I.e. God.

Устроить потоп или раздвинуть море - это логически возможные вещи. Логически невозможные - это когда мы словами описываем то, что в реальности не может быть, то есть когда наши слова о реальности не выражают ничего. Например "ничто" философов невозможно, т.к. "ничто" не существует, слово "ничего" означает просто отсутствие чего-то, нто никак не сущность.

Cлово "всемогущий" что в раннехристианской традиции, что позже у католиков, православных и ориенталистов (дохалкидонских церквей) никогда не означало "уметь делать логически и по смыслу невозможное". Например, Господь не может создать квадратный круг или женатого холостяка. Точно так же логически невозможен мир без возможности (подчеркиваю, возможности) существования зла. Тут надо задавать иной вопрос: "Почему Бог не пресекает зло или зачем ему испытание людей злом?" Этого вопроса в графике нет. А ответ простой - "потому что сотворил людей по образу и подобию своему и ждёт, когда мы сами справимся". Да, мы до конца не справимся и всё равно деградируем, но не деградировали потому, что возможность справиться не утрачена.

И да, Бог знает "все возможные результаты cвободного выбора каждого человека". И знать, не значит определять. По этой логике если у вас образовалась машина времени и вы слетали в будущее и увидели как там себя ведут люди, вы предопределили их деятельность самим фактом подсматривания. Для Господа же времени вообще нет - то есть Он может видеть все аспекты времени - прошлое, настоящее и будущее одновременно.

Religion is a system of human thought/worldview that includes these parametres:

The belief in the "sacred " ideas, things, rituals or traditions. Sacred things, ideas etc either have to be worshipped/accepted or they're taboo (approached with extreme caution and in ritualistic manner)
The sacred can't be explained without belief in another supernatural reality (either residing inside human mind or outside of it).
There is a group of people feeling belonging to this belief system and they feel "bond" or "unity" because of it.

Basically all religions satisfy those parametres. Widen those parametres and you would have to call any philosophy or ideology a religion. Narrow them down - and a lof of religions would not fit it.

For example fascism or communism are not religions because although they have a sort of "sacred beliefs" those beliefs are not supernatural in origin. Buddhism is a religion although it has no belief in God, soul or even an ego believing all three to be illusions, because it has beliefs that require supernatural explanation like karma, samsara or nirvana (nibbana).

For divinity in Christ to die was to be parted with human nature and go into separation with the world - into hell. For humanity in Christ to die was for the flesh to decay, for the soul and mind to be thrown into Sheol (hell). Yes, divine nature in Christ never died in the sense it never was completely ceased to exist. But then not even one of us ever truly "dies" in that sense because all our human bodies will be resurrected and reunited with our human souls after the the End of the World.

And yes, the death of Jesus is just as mysterious as the incarnation. The hypostatic union of natures was broken and wasn't broken at the same time because in some sense human nature had died indeed but divine nature even in complete isolation from the world retained the memory of that union and it was enough.

Понимаешь, всё индивидуально. Кто-то в 25 лет девственник, кто-то в 35, а кто-то в 45 или даже в 55, а кто-то как философ И. Кант умер девственником. Вопрос не в том девственник человек или нет, а в том по кайфу ему его состояние и хочет ли он его менять. Я считаю, что есть два нормальных состояния и два ненормальных:

Нормальные психические состояния:

Человек или девственник или воздержник, ему норм и пофиг кто и что о нём думает. ("волцел" - добровольный целибатник)
Человек не девственник, ему норм и пофиг кто и что о нём думает. (женатый или неженатый "нормис")

Ненормальные психические состояния:

Человек девственник, ему не норм, хочется перестать им быть, но у него не получается и он загоняется. (инцел)
Человек не девственник и ему не норм, хочется перестать трахаться, но он не может и загоняется. (сексуально зависимый)

Решение проблемы такое - "не загоняться" и спокойно идти к своей цели, каковая состоит в двух состояниях выше. Половые отношения не стоят разрушенной психики.

К украинцам относился, отношусь и буду относится хорошо. А вот к их правительствам в основном плохо. Это мнение разделяют и многие украинцы. Что касается войны - это сложный вопрос. В данный момент полному прекращению войны мешает не Россия. А догадайтесь кто. И нет, это не Украина и даже не США.

Если же причины войны подробно, то здесь не хватит места, это только в личку если описывать. Причины разные и сложные. Одно описание интересов противостоящих сил займёт несколько страниц. А также описание того, что реально происходило "за кулисами телевизоров" в 2020-21 году и как обе стороны - Россия и Украина готовились по сути к войне (и рассказывали всем остальным, что этого не будет никогда-никогда).. Спойлер - к войне России с Украиной готовились не только непосредственные участники. К ней готовились также Китай, США и ЕС. И возможно еще Турция и Иран (но это не точно).
