So, in G1, if Destiny was really just a universe-wide algorithm controlling the behaviour of every being in the MU, there's a number of disturbing implications... 1. First up, nobody has free will. Many species became self aware and sapient, but their personalities and emotions are just a manifestation of the source code. All choices they make are predetermined, and nobody can successfully make the choice to refuse their destiny. 2. Even when groups of characters appeared to be in opposition/conflict with one another, their actions are ultimately working towards the same goal. The destiny algorithm behaves in such a way to make many beings into complete psychopaths who work towards the universe's unified goal by brutally slaughtering others. One would think there'd be more efficient ways to program a bunch of demi-robots to repair a big robot to repair a planet, but, nope, bloodbath it is. 3. The destiny algorithm would have to account for outside factors, such as if a being from outside the GSR got in and interfered with things. Thus, the behaviour of all the beings in the area would have to change in order to deal with the intruder and then carry on with the algorithm. We know that MU beings' programming can be altered remotely, such as when Mata Nui gave them the ability to speak Agori. So presumably something similar could happen if the algorithm needed to respond to external factors. They're basically a hivemind. So, what are the implications of our favourite characters not having free will? Does it diminish the value of heroic acts like Matoro's sacrifice, or acts of cruelty by the villains? Does the algorithm still operate on Sphereus Magna? Or have they now truly transcended their programming? Thoughts?

We learned that the Great Beings were apparently surprised that the matoran ended up intelligent and with emotions and such. But how could that have happened? How could the Great Beings have "accidentally" discovered super intelligent AI. Here on Earth, we've tried for decades to get something like that, and the closest we've come is a computer that can play Jeopardy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watson_(computer)). The idea that something so complex as a computer with actual emotions could be created by accident is just not logical.So if the Great Beings just wanted mindless machines, then why didn't they just create an army of vahki-like creatures that Mata-Nui could command at will? And if that's what they intended, then how could it have gone so wrong? The vahki didn't develop any emotion whatsoever. What are your thoughts?-don't touch my pocket protector
