The final episode of Westworld is set to air this Sunday on HBO. This show has made me question my humanity, my uses of technology, and even my sexuality. It is the perfect pastiche of sci-fi, western, and romance. If you aren't going straight to the Reddit conspiracy theories after each episode, are you really a fan!? True fan or not, you know for a fact that you spend at least 20 minutes after watching each episode trying to decipher who is real and who is a robot. At this point, are the robots more human than the actual humans themselves? My brain is melting just thinking about it! So, in order to prepare for the hour-and-a-half season finale, it is time to decide... are you a Host or a Human?
Your friends want to grab a drink at the bar, do you:
A) Go to the saloon and pick up a wench and then shoot somebody?
B) Go to the saloon and repeat the same three phrases you were programmed to say while getting taken advantage of?
There is a bounty afoot, do you:
A) Hope that a bunch of naked women painted gold are part of the reward
B) Try and convince a couple douchebags to ride with you to try and kill the Man in Black?
Dolores is lookin' mighty fine tonight, do you:
A) Shot her dad?
B) Help her find Arnold?
You are looking for the maze, how do you find it?
A) Scalp some guy from the bar and follow the map on his head.
B) Have major PTSD from the past and follow your memories to the maze.
You are realizing you have a consciousness, do you:
A) Check your phone to avoid having any real thought?
B) Hack your own mainframe to control other hosts?
Who is Arnold?
A) Pretty sure he is dead and I don't care.
B) That name means nothing to me... or does it...?
There is a fire, what do you do?
A) Run
B) Have sex with a bandit whom you recruited for host domination
Someone is trying to foil your plan! Do you:
A) Have Bernard murder them?
B) Die because you can't really do anything about it and get reconstructed to continue your loop?
How many timelines do you live in?
A) One
B) Probably three
Ford tells you some weird metaphorical story about a dog, do you:
A) Realize it is a deeper metaphor for him or possibly Arnold?
B) You are unable to compute so you say some stereotypical western phrase.
THE RESULTS:
Mostly As:
You are a human. You are in Westworld mainly for a good time. You lack empathy in many ways and need to enact your deepest desires on robotic beings since it would be unethical to do so in the real world.
Mostly Bs:
You are a host. You live life in ignorance as you repeat the same loop and live life by a set narrative. Although... something is changing in your world. You start.. dreaming and remembering strange things. Some dude named Arnold is in your head, making you crazy... what is going on?!
Same Amount of As and Bs:
Hmmm, something strange is occurring with you. The data is inconclusive and it is unknown whether you are a human or a host... maybe somewhere in between? You know your purpose in life yet feel an urge to go outside your daily routine or dare I call it, your loop.
