Hello.

This will be my reaction podcast to lectures 3.1 and 3.2.

The first thing I personally want to talk about is the word robots first being mentioned or used in 1920s for a film.

For me, if you put it and think about it, in almost a hundred years later, we have robots roaming the streets now.

I don't know if you, the listener have heard or the professor, but there are now like little robots that run around that have people control them, that play like little voice memes or something like that.

Just goes around and just tries to make light or not light or just having fun with the robot.

Nothing really that serious.

And if you think about it or squint at it a little bit, we kind of have robots that deliver our food.

I've seen the little robot boxes that deliver like Uber eats or like fast food to people once they order it.

I'm pretty sure these are in some areas, but I have seen that now, if you think about almost 100 years later, robots are real and are walking among us in some way, shape or form.

Another thing that the professor brings up is how women's role in society changed during or after, during and kind of after World War I as women had to take care or replacement and the jobs that they were working and everything that the men was doing, women had to take over.

So there was kind of a societal shift in how women role in society was.

And to me, almost 100 years later, again, we almost had our first female black president, which is kind of crazy.

And to think that it was up to two white men and a black female, that to me is just crazy to now see that 100 years ago women were barely getting the rights to even do what men do.

But now, obviously women have grown into a bigger part of society and now can do big things such as almost being president or even being part of Congress and you know, being part of the bigger parts of society.

Also the concept, or not the concept really, I guess, but the idea back in back then of angenics of the superior race or trying to conform to a superior race when technology was advancing was kind of crazy to care.

For me, this is not my first time hearing about it, but I personally thought it was something that was recently kind of an ideology, if you will, if I'm using that term correctly.

But yeah, it was just crazy to me to think that 100 years ago people were thinking about how there is an ideal race.

And I've heard this before and like stuff like ballet, where ballets are slim, people preferably like white and, you know, that's just a little crazy to think that a hundred years ago, or even how it kind of released today with people now not really breeding per se or using technology to be a better race, but people just naturally thinking or having the idea that there is a superior race still existing almost 100 years later.

Maybe not to the extent of using technology to breed the ideal human, but definitely that the concept of it still being here almost 100 years later is insane.

Another thing I want to talk about is the League of Nations and how it was meant to bring peace, but excluded major people or places such as the U.S. germany, Russia and the colonies.

To me, this kind of seems like, you know, like, why even bother type of thing.

Like, if you're trying to create world peace but don't include everybody in the world, then what is the points of whatever you're trying to make?

You know, I'm saying.

And so the League of Nations, to me, was kind of like a waste of time.

And, like, I know it eventually did lead to something, but at this time, I'm surprised no one saw that this would lead to a bigger thing of, you know, not including Germany or Russia and then the US Refusing or the Germany, Russia and the colonies, and then the US Refusing to join.

Not send sound any alarms for people.

Be like, okay, maybe let's re approach this and see, like, how we can include everybody.

But, yeah.

And then for Hera, we joined her back after when she's, I think, around 20 years old.

And this kind of, to me, how the professor was explaining how she was living life.

It's kind of like how I think the virus for most people was like, oh, it's the coronavirus.

I mean, or COVID 19.

Most people thought it would never get that far or, you know, impact what it did.

And so there were some people in certain areas, including me, who saw it on the news or, like, saw it, like, starting to get bigger, but, like, there's no way it's gonna come to me per se.

And that's kind of how I believe head out.

Well, I mean, she had no reason to, you know, fear anything.

So in the 1920s, she was living her best life, having just gotten married, having three kids, and being in Berlin where there was a cultural explosion where artists, filmmakers and so on and so forth like, started to explode with the new technology advancements as soon as they got their hands on it after World War I.

And so seeing that head out was a party animal, per se.

And kind of, how do I say, like, didn't really have no worries to think about.

But there was stuff going on in the background, especially with Germans and them being Jews.

You kind of see, like, how, oh, you don't really realize the bigger picture.

And so, you know, it's too late.

Kind of referring back to me in COVID 19, where I didn't think it would really get to where I am.

And of course, you know, it was a global pandemic, and everywhere was shut down.

And going back to the Germans and Jews and how that kind of like, this is like the.

Not the first instance, because I think at this point, it was still calm, if I'm understanding it correctly.

But the fact that Hera had her husband serve in Germany in World War I, and then, you know, just a couple years later, after their little celebration, they would have the Nazis begin to take over and, you know, start controlling or even getting rid of the cultural explosion, from my understanding, to, you know, kind of downplay what these people did for their people.

And so I think that they were kind of being used, not necessarily to, I think, most people's knowledge, even the people who went against them eventually, but that they were being used and not really realizing it, seeing how, you know, eventually they were put into camps and either killed or, you know, enslaved.

But it was just kind of crazy to think about that, how they're basically portrayed by their own people who they thought they can trust, especially the ones who served and thought like they would get some.

Some kind of reward for their actions, but that would go, you know, unnoticed into.

Or that would just go unnoticed.

And then, you know, eventually we get to where we're heading with the Nazi takeover.
