Or perhaps computers in Psycho-pass just aren't good at evaluating things like art.


I wonder if in this future, artists like Giger are remembered at all? Or do they get censored up for being too sick and depraved?
I thought they made it pretty clear that art doesn't really exist anymore, via exposition from the prisoner they visited, so it's not surprising at all. Which, combined with this arc, was probably a rather unsubtle commentary on the controlled society we're being shown in this anime.

For all the discussion that goes on about the good/bad/morality of this social system, I've always thought it was pretty clear the show's intentions are strongly tilted to one perspective.

It feels like years since they've been updated, btw.
Also, cake.
