I think this video contains clues to Neil's next film, Elysium

Bad ass....

@asjenmenou Lol, that's right - sit there caressing your pathetic new-age bullshit. You will die, we will continue. Forever improving through the power of science.

[Scienceorc]

@asjenmenou You do not understand. Humanity is destroying it's own planet and its own species. The necessary thing to do is to realize this, and change our civilization, and grow. Unfortunately, we might die before we reach this phase, or we might not. it is dependent on what we start doing now. That is what Neill is trying to say.

@IbeJigsaw well, you don't have to be genius to see that someone is smart, if you want i see that from his movies but also the way he presented this and his interest in this subject is telling a lot...for those who know to appreciate it

[IbeJigsaw]

@2505994 if you think that reading off of some prepared documents indicates intelligence, then i seriously question yours. (not to say blomkamp isn't smart, but your comment was plain idiotic)

@asjenmenou Hi asjenmenou, hope you're well. I think wee should be free to move and interact with one-another without the boundaries of national, cultural, religious and racial segregation. They have manifested throughout human history as a result of ignorance, superstition and lack of understanding that we are the same. Or as you said, we all came from mother earth.

No nations, no borders, free education for all (the internet), and one open world. A world without fear where humanity is free.

district 9 is my fave, can't wait for Elysium

[Evilstuff]

I predict Elysium will be about the transition period to Type 1 civilization, very violent...

@AungUnElric You never know when humans would actually create artificial pandoras.
