I have an even better question: With ALL THOSE MILITARY AUGMENTS, how is it that Jensen hasn't been shut down? Tesla fists, typhoon, nanoblades, 360 degree frag dispersal, icarus-style lethal headbutts, able to cook grenades for even greater accuracy, structural damage, snapping guards necks, remote hacking network in his hand, a PEPS energy styled machine gun in his arm, fucking INSANE dermal plating, an TITAN augment which basically makes you a walking tank that doesn't flinch in an explosion and renders all rounds (Even armor peircing and EMP ammo) useless, and invisibility. If jensen committed enough crimes, he would probably be locked in an EMP chair for life, and yes, EMP chairs do actually disable like, 99.99 percent of jensens augmentations, even if he had an anti EMP augment in place it seems belltower overridden it somehow.

Adam is the future.

Simple answer: hes a cyborg

He’s around 40 to 50 percent augmented so he’s both

A super human with extra ordinary abilities and augmentations that define science sometime. (ei. Invisibility)

great video, can't wait to see more!

Good job man!

Love your content!

Great video!

Woah woah woah. A new channel posted on reddit that actually has professionalism and interesting content? 2017 you startin' off wild lmao

Great video! Anyone ever told you that you sound exactly like Otacon from Metal Gear? Christopher Randolph, the voice actor. Anyway, SUBSCRIBED.

He's a cyborg. Granted the games probably don't say this (I say the word "probably" because I haven't played the games) but he's half man half machine. He's a cyborg.

Loved the vid

I guess it should be judged by Jensen's action, not by what he is made of. The same rule applies to any other augs or even people without augementations.

1:33 HUH!!??? DUDE, I'M GONNA LOOSE IT!!! (⊙x⊙;)

"I never asked for this!"

If you specifically phrase it as man or machine (like in the title), then that's a false dichotomy. Man is a kind of machine, just a squishy one made of organic chemicals. As DARPA is so fond of saying: Biology *is* technology. Don't believe me? What are living things made out of? Atoms and molecules. Matter. What is our technology made of? Also matter. There's nothing magic about biology. It's all starstuff. I think we're asking the wrong question here. I don't actually think humanity is what we value, or even what we should value. Think about it - how do we respond to non-human animals that can feel and think. Only the sickest people go around torturing cats and when we spend enough time with Cetaceans, a mini-society forms with robust multi-directional communication. This is despite the fact that they're not human at all, and we're not cetaceans. You'll hurt someone much more deeply if you kill the family pet than if you kill a very human criminal. So what are we really valuing here that seems so elusive? I think it's personality/personhood. This one is kind of tricky, since most definitions seem to include some element of social participation as an essential element, but for others it just means an entity needs to be able to feel and think. Think about it - "humanity" by the strictest definition is surely altered when you replace traditionally biological parts with mechanical ones. It *definitely* altered when you change someone's genetics. So yeah, altering ability through transformation necessarily alters humanity (in this sense) But we've got people today with extreme ability and people with extreme disability. We don't consider children who are still developing inhuman and we definitely consider even the most freakishly tall, strong (bio-natural) person to be 'human', despite the exact constitution of their humanity being different in each case. But despite the differences, we still treat them with some kind of equality - which I'd call personhood/personality. Now on to whether or not augmentation is inherently toxic to personhood. We only need one case of someone using technological augmentation (protip: it doesn't have to be body-integrated to count) for benevolent means and to benevolent ends to disprove this. Well, I'm a programmer. I've got technological powers that the vast majority of people don't have. What do I use this ability for? Mostly building tools and games, many of which I've given away for free. Hardly sounds malevolent. But that's a toy example - let's look at people with medical superpowers. The kind of surgeons who provide limb transplants or remove tumors are without a doubt heroes. So what about the bad uses of technology? We know that it can't be something inherent to the tech. As many are fond of saying, "if guns kill people, spoons make you fat". And now we're getting to the crux of the issue - people afraid of transhumanism are mis-attributing the use of technology to people's moral failings. Ironically enough, they cite "human nature" as the reason why augmentation is bad. Then you ask them how they plan on fixing the failings of human nature and they throw up their hands, or alternately propose some kind of paradoxical social solution (after all you can't fix a broken system using that same broken system). The irony here being that if the flaw with humanity is human nature - the only viable option is to *change human nature*, and the way to do this is with science and technology.

Sticks and stones.

I hate how people say we shouldn't invent new tech because 'It can be used for evil', even cavemen had power struggles using sharp rocks so what difference is a sword, gun, or augmentation. It's human evolution and those who want us to stop advancing really just want us to revert to cavemen, although they don't want to because they don't deserve it.

Woah, i can tell this channel is gonna be big :0 this was so interestingg!!

I LOVE DEUS EX

I like it.

holy shrimp, a good science in video games channel (please don't end up like game theory)

This was actually pretty cool and well made . more please ! In my opinion Adam should be considered the next step in human evolution . much the same way our bigger brains and better adapted bodies separated us from Homo erectus , Adam's augmentations give him abilities that far surpass anything us lesser evolved humans could ever hope to achieve

Adam Jensen is human.

So robocop 1

You skim the surface of Cyberpunk without getting into the meat of it... The idea has a central character who (due to his duality of nature) is able to move between class divides, is able to make the powerful powerless, is able to make the weak gain a voice. He is, by definition, the ubermensch. He is a police or detective who no longer is police. It's not a religious theme, there's more iconography for Icarus than Jesus in this game. And he even is confronted at times about his god-like status (machine god). No, this is a Nietzschean concept that is integral to Cyberpunk and what keeps it decidedly separate from Science Fiction which has it's origin in Jules Verne. Read "The Thin Man" to get a sense of where the Cyberpunk comes from, then read Necronomicon. Or watch Bladerunner. You will see similar themes of character type, movement through classes, corruption, and an uncertainty of who the character is.

The most important question is, does he have his man part 🤔

0:00 Only 7 more years until I can become a cyborg I can't wait

Manchine? :D

"One of best games of 21st century" dude, if we were talking about the original Deus Ex, I might've accept that, but Human Revolution? This game imitates most stuff from original, down to the story structure and treats people with augs like they're allgory for black people, even though they're just advanced prosthetics.

Half Man. Half Machine....

god: create humain 3 second later god: humain are entitled

He died the only reason he lives is because of an expensive life support system He is a machine a Robocop a geth a borg a john conner terminator

Video about nothing.
