Part 8/9:
At pivotal moments, questions of faith and existence surface, leading Miles to ponder deep philosophical inquiries regarding the nature of life, death, and God’s existence. His humorous quip about believing in a cosmic intelligence—save for “certain parts of New Jersey”—offers a poignant moment where humor and existential dread converge.
This reflection mirrors humanity's continuous struggle with understanding its place in the universe, especially relevant in a time when grave injustices are still prevalent. The dread of governmental oppression, the weight of memory, and the humor of absurdity combine to present a narrative that resonates well beyond its futuristic setting.
