Doomsday Book Page #3

Yes, it is a matter for you

experts to decide.

So what have you decided?

Even if In-myung is not Buddha,

don't you agree that he is

different from other robots?

It's just a robot

like I'm just a technician.

Why do you experts

only believe data?

Why won't you allow

room for imagination?

Why must data be truth

and all else be false?

What are you saying?

Then would you have me explore

philosophy with the robot?

I am asking you to

look again without fear.

Fine.

If you cannot determine whether

In-myung is Buddha or not,

then can you not at least see

the hearts of people?

The reason for our actions...

The reason for our bringing

a busy technician here.

Can you not see it?

Please check Brother

In-myung once more.

All I see

is a defective robot.

I will go now.

- Who is it?

- Hey...

Is the repair guy here?

What guy?

Hi. You're the guy

who fixes robots, right?

Yes. So?

Fix my baby for me.

- What is this?

- My baby.

I think she's dead.

She won't move.

So just lend me a chip.

You fix robots.

I'm sure you have a lot.

No, you need to take this

to a robot pet center.

But she died all of a sudden

and the center is closed now.

I've been waiting for you

to come home for hours.

I was waiting for you

and it's too late now!

So just give me one chip.

Just wait until tomorrow and

go to the center when it opens.

But I need her right now!

Don't you know that

smoking is illegal?

Did you fix her?

It's temporary.

I don't have the right chip.

It'll be fine to play with

for a few hours.

Damn it. It moves awkward.

You really don't have it?

Go to this place tomorrow.

They carry the best biochips

in the country.

I'm not quite happy with it

but thanks anyway.

So do you live

with robots too?

Excuse me?

Do you live alone

with robots?

I see. No wonder.

Let's go, baby.

More and more young people

are choosing robots

over marriage.

These so-called

"humanoid mates".

With national birth rates

at record lows,

such social trends are

a rising problem.

They're actually

more trustworthy.

We're practically family now.

Yes, ma'am.

Why don't I have your report?

Yes, I'll file it soon.

Is there a problem?

I need your report to decide

what to do with the robot.

To be honest, I haven't

reached a decision yet.

What decision?

Is the robot still useful?

That's what

I cann't decide on.

Is it necessary to

exterminate RU-4?

What? Look, Mr. PARK...

I'll file my report soon.

Would you like to come in?

What brings you here

at this hour?

I've come for advice

for my troubled mind.

What troubles you?

I was quite upset

by the encounter

with the technician

this afternoon.

Why did it upset you?

I learned that

all awakened beings

in this world are Buddha,

and you have attained

the highest point among us all.

But they deem you defective

and order a recall.

He merely did

what he had to do.

That is not all.

The company will send a team of

exterminators tomorrow.

It is absolutely absurd.

As if you were some killer robot.

I question their ability

of perception.

You will be in great danger

if we do nothing.

What do you see me as?

You are Buddha.

What does that appear to be?

That is a clock.

Then what does

this appear to be?

Is this my arm

or is it a clock?

To perceive is to distinguish,

merely a classification

of knowing.

While all living creatures share

the same inherent nature,

perception is

what classifies one

as Buddha and

another as machine.

We mistake perception

as permanent truth

and such delusions

cause us pain.

Perception itself is void

as is the process of perceiving.

As I am a perception

of this void,

please see me for what I am.

Brother In-myung.

Fill your mind

with nothingness.

From where have I come

and to where do I go?

From where have I come,

and to where do I go?

What am I?

What am I?

What am I?

From where have I come

and to where do I go?

What am I?

What am I?

From where have I come

and to where do I go?

When is this model from?

The R200 series, circa 2017.

Why was it not replaced?

I'm sorry, sir.

We'll replace it now.

Extermination team.

That is not necessary.

This robot is still useful

to our temple.

We have the right

and responsibility to

replace outdated models, sir.

But if the buyer is satisfied

there is no need.

I am still useful.

I will begin my introduction

of our temple.

- Mr. PARK.

- Yes, ma'am.

- Did you check this?

- I checked it yesterday.

I decided it

was still functional,

so I did not report it.

Report everything

and I'll decide.

Yes, ma'am.

You may go.

I flew over as soon as I got

the emergency report.

For failing to distinguish

such crucial matters as this,

I fired nine secretaries and

one ignorant manager.

Our technician seems to

grasp the situation.

So why did you seek the guarantee

of UR from a mere technician,

in trying to turn that robot

into Buddha?

I realize

that we were at fault.

You are not obligated to mind

the interests

of a mere corporation.

But UR is

essentially different

from these companies

you think of.

UR robots are in our governments

schools, and families.

Simply put, they are integral

to all areas of society.

You could say that UR provides

the basic groundwork

of the human race.

Must mankind

then refrain from

breaking down its own foothold?

I am stating that

one robot's defects

can prove fatal

to the national system.

Thus it is a threat of

the world of suffering.

What did you say?

This is not a "threat".

National security

is always an excuse

used to suppress the people.

Now used

by a mere corporation.

Refrain yourself.

No, that is not so.

We're only discussing the

threat to mankind's existence.

Whether UR is the cause or

the basis is not important.

You only see a merchant in me,

but keep this in mind.

UR's client is all of mankind.

I can take measures

alike to heads of state

against such threats to mankind.

People often see science as

a mere instrument to mankind.

A subservient

aid to do its bidding,

like some genie in a lamp.

But each scientific

advancement man utilizes

is conversely

changing man himself.

Even before we realize it.

When the first man wielded

that wooden stick,

the stick was also wielding him.

Which is why we are training

ourselves to reach a balance

between mind and matter.

Quite optimistic.

Man has been a slave

to material things

since the dawn of civilization.

Man has always

been marginalized

by class, capital

and labor.

And now we will be marginalized

by a monster we created.

Creator, at the will

of his own creation!

Understand?

All creators face the dilemma

that they've created a monster.

But every problem

has a solution.

The solution is

to dismantle the RU.

We see the problems of RU

and the solution is

to obliterate these monsters.

We must not let

its sly tongue fool us.

We will be left at their mercy

before we even know it.

A different example.

The human brain has not evolved
