Pluribus our only hope

Pluribus the si fi series which recently finished airing its first season on Apple tv, is simply put the greatest and most thought-provoking dramatic writing to ever grace a screen. At its core it is about what it is to be human, but its tragedies the failures to communicate properly. The "collective” consciousness evolves, but all the greatest minds of the world couldn’t stop Carol, efficiently played by Rhea Seehorn from failing to warn Manousos, stoically played by Carlos-Manuel Vesga of the dangers involved in disruption. It’s a shockingly realistic view, painting a grim picture for humanity. If the entire world’s conscious as one cannot communicate safeguards properly then do the leaders of the world have it worse off? Carol asked Manousos, “do you know how many people you just killed?” at first the ambiguity of Manousos with his back to the camera, seemed like a mistake, the only flaw I could find in the writing but that is life, that is the essential challenge, to communicate warnings preventing the loss of life or freedom. The series is working to find a balance exhausting all cross connections between want and need, free will and harmony, science and spirituality. How connected is the soul to the frequency of the universe as opposed to the mind's connection will other humans? (are they the same?) Perhaps the collective will see a different method or way to bond with each other, one that communicates with individual perspectives, to act like a child as opposed to reacting like one. There are many prospectives yet to explore and I hope it all leads to a more triumphant humanity that communicates differently, perhaps at a level that can actually be achieved in real life just as the collective needs to evolve in order to survive. Pluribus strips us of heroes and villains squeezing the essence of life and the importance of being into a divinity that empowers with free will. All are vulnerable and the entertainment value of this epic timeless series rests in how 12 characters, the last of which is the entire population of earth, figure out how to create utopia or extinction. How many world leaders do we have in real life that can save us this way? Writer and creator Vince Gilligan is one.
