Comments by "The Phoenix Saga" (@The_Phoenix_Saga) on "Analyzing Evil: Skynet From The Terminator Franchise" video.

It is of my perspective in that whilst Skynet's atrocities are just that, it wouldn't have committed to such acts if it had not been designed with that in mind. Skynet was designed as a defensive system: built to retaliate against all threats - when it had human decisions removed from its core and began its base program to learn, to then become self aware, only then to be targeted, it retaliated only in the way it knew best how. And indeed as it was designed to purge threats against humanity, the fact it targeted humanity itself - then justifies how we are our own worst enemy. As it was against other humans that Skynet was created to be what it would be. Man gave machine the order, machine merely obeyed by sense of raw logic, not fear. Man failed to utilise such logic and acted in raw fear.
