What is a None Disclosure Agreement (NDA) if not a pledge of Secrecy?

In the sequel to 2001 it is revealed HAL was made to keep Secrets. In 2010 it is over simplified and projected as “paranoia”, but that is a human flaw. As I’m a programmer, I would say HAL was given a problem he could not solve “Tell the truth and lie”. One excludes the other.
<...>
You might also consider HAL is Artificial Intelligence (AI). Hollywood AI (Fake AI).

Sophia an AI robot imitates human emotions, it does not have emotions, it fakes emotions, no different than a Psychopath. I see AI as Artificial Psychopathy.

HAL would not have emotions / paranoia. HAL would solve (calculate) to complete the Mission. As the Crew were less important than the success of the Mission, the crew were expendable. The solution which made the Mission a success was to murder the Crew.

“HAL was told to lie by people who find it easy to lie, but HAL doesn’t know how to lie.” – 2010

If HAL had been programmed to protect the Crew (Life) ahead of the Mission, the outcome would have been different.

After all the Monolith was not there for HAL, the Monolith was there to inspire humanity to reach for the stars and planets. Progress!
<...>
Now for the Darker / Occult side of the story:

The monolith is an elongated / distorted Black Cube, the symbol for Satan.

HAL 9000 is depicted as a big red / yellow Eye, the symbol for the “All Seeing Eye” (Apollo).

Apollo keeps a Secret that Apollo and Lucifer are “one in the same”, not good and bad, but all bad, with the illusion of good (deception).

So, when you are asked to keep Secrets for the White Hat Alliance; what will you say, what will you do?

Is your heart pure?
<...>
“The ends justify the means.” is the philosophy of a Narcissist / Psychopath / Delusional.

The alternative to Narcissism and Psychopathy is to become a Recovering Narcissist (51% Service to Others / Born of the Spirit).

Is your priority the Crew (Humanity) or the Mission (Gold)?
