Mr. House and Andrew Ryan Debate Freedom - AI Voice

[@ryanlaurie8733]

Ryan is an idealist. House is a realist.

[@patriot17764th]

Pretty much.

[@vincentvalentine4401]

Even if Ryan is flawed at some points I can get behind him. Same with Ryan Despite everything that happened at Rapture, because you never know when someone intentions to protect people slowly becomes the one to harm them

[@funnyjupiter4499]

Ryan embraces human nature's flaws and all, while house fights it for better or worse

[@smexehcougah3]

Ironic, since Ryan is more conservative/libertarian which is a position usually associated with realism while House's progressive authoritarianism is the one associated with realism here.

[@CteCrassus]

@@imgvillasrc1608 Actually, Rapture's fall was 100% his fault: His AnCapistan utopia had no proper way to address income inequality, which left a sizeable population of downtrodden rife to be exploited by a criminal element he had no way to deal with, and the moment there was a risk that he could lose totalitarian control of Rapture he became the ultimate dictator, depriving his own citizens of even freedom of intellect.

@@joshuagraham2843 it wouldn't work out, lol, they may have grand designs in their methods, but their goal to that end is not the same, and i would more than likely see them go to war over their ego's, i know it's weird to say a robot or AI has an ego, but often times robots or AI's are so sure of themselves that there could be no other path but their chosen paths, so in a sense that is where the ego comes in. i mean we saw the same logic come from another robot in FO4 by a robo brain robot who used the logic to end all human suffering in the most efficient way was simply to kill them, funny thing about that logic, is it actually makes sense because it would end the suffering because they would no longer exist, just as the logic of the institute in FO4 with Father was to eliminate all other factions on earth so that the future of the world can become prosper as the earth will finally get a chance to heal instead of the prolonged events of constant wars keeping the earth in the state of war and staying within that cycle. i think Shaun had the right idea, but it's morally wrong to have this as his ultimate goal or outcome because it strips freedom and liberty and justice and choice for all other factions that exist in the same space. but i agree with the outcome idea because that would help the earth heal so that they could restart humanity without so much corrupt DNA and factions constantly attempting on destroying the world and each other in that same process. morally it was wrong, but sometimes as a leader you have to make the hard decisions in order to progress into the future for a better outcome of that future or in his case, humanity could have better chances to thrive.

[@randomarcgunner4543]

Yes, and that isn't getting into how Andrew followed an ideology which is inherently anti freedom. At first glance it may seem that I am incorrect, until you remember that Andrew destroyed unions and had no social programs, which forces workers into an autocratic system where their bosses are like dictators.

[@Sonic8577]

Exaclty, Andrew Ryan was a hypocrite, It wasn't his ideology that caused rapture to fail, It was his hypocrisie that caused rapture to fall. That is the one thing I disagree with house on.

He also preaches the virtues of the unfettered market, free from state interference, but once the bathysphere was developed and threatened to financially ruin him and most of his backers who'd sunk most of their money into the train system, what does he do?

@@ethaneldredge3994 The other things people tend to forget to point out when talking against House's philosophy is that he is, all in all, incorruptible. You cannot bribe him since he already has the monetary means at his disposition. Women, drugs, alcohol, luxury homes, are totally out of the question because he doesn't need them. The only way to actually have a way to alter House's trajectory is by blackmailing him somehow (very unlikely), or to offer him something that is productive towards his goals, like chunks or land near Vegas than can be essentially "annexed" by House. Also, he has TIME. That's something no other faction can say they have.

[@MrCaputo90]

I would love to see more Mr. House and Andrew Ryan dialogues.

[@IAMELIPHAS]

Alternate take at 1:36 : Ryan: Is a bird elevated when caged?! House: 'Caged', you say? Hardly. If my people yearn for the 'freedom' you drone on and on about, all they need to do is walk out the gates, and into mojave, and experience the 'freedom' it has to offer. Nothing of mine stops them from doing that. There they can experience the 'freedom' of injury or death in any number of ways, each one worse than the last. The 'freedom' of accomplishing nothing at all, of stagnancy, of a meaningless existence followed by an equally meaningless death. The 'freedom' of having a slave collar slapped around their throats, or a gun pointed at their heads. The 'freedom' of digging around in the sand for the barest scrap to eat, the 'freedom' of having to sink to lower and lower lows simply to survive. Then, when they see that this 'freedom' isn't all it's cracked up to be, they are just as free to return to the safety and comfort of what I provide. Remind me again of what exactly happened to the people living under your so-called 'freedom' when they tried to do the same? Why don't we invite one of them up here and ask? Oh, that's right, we can't, can we? Because you murdered them in cold blood when they tried to leave your so-called 'free land'. For all your talk of 'freedom', the irony is that they're far more 'free' under me than they ever were under you. Rapture's 'freedom' was never more than an illusion, a bubble waiting to be popped at the slightest poke. If I wanted to have my fill of brazen hypocrisy, I have the NCR Embassy a stone's throw away for that. The fact that we are having this conversation here and not there should tell you otherwise.

[@trabadoireacht6545]

Fucking killed it dude.

[@wolfbane7497]

Also Mr Ryan what did you do with all those people that tried to express their freedom from your tyranny what about Frank Fontaine the man who had to smuggle in Bibles and cigars because you didn't want religion. You didn't sell Bibles you didn't sell crucifixes you practically opened a market for something that everyone demanded. It was Frank's fontaine's write his freedom to do that job but yet you found him a threat. What about Adam the market on Adam you allowed that freedom to run rampant and then you got mutated crazy people. But that was fine that was okay as long as the money was rolling in but then a war broke out and then you used an experimental hormone to control the splicers taking away that very Freedom you preach about. And then before that you had Frank Fontaine supposedly murdered just because he was exercising his freedom. What about Sophia lamb and her coat it was her freedom to have such a cult if she wanted it. Even you orchestrated a public debate and when she humiliated you your little ego couldn't handle it so you had to throw her in jail. Where she became a much more bigger threat if Rapture was under my management I would have had her clothes at my side you saw her as a threat I would have saw her as an ally and what about Bridget Tenenbaum the woman who let all this madness run rampant you did nothing to control to manage the excessive use of atom even when the results were staring you right in the face it was freedom Freedom with the market your own audio logs say that.

[@DeathMessenger1988]

@@OrysB-po1fy So... the lore is clearly too complex for you to comprehend, so you feel the need to diss the entire franchise in a discussion that has very little to absolutely nothing to do with what you're saying. Okay, I'll use baby words as much as possible. It's not "completely nonsensical" because, at the time of Exar Kun, Tenebrae AKA Vitiate was still rebuilding the Sith Empire. There's a time period of 1003 years between the Old Sith Empire's Collapse and Exar Kun's Rise to Power, and it took 316 years more before Vitiate's New Sith Empire could strike. The whole point of Exar Kun was not to replace Vitiate, but to turn the Sith from a hostile foreign empire to an ideological cause that could motivate Jedi to fall AND once again let the galaxy suffer at the hands of the Jedi's flawed teachings causing their own members to fall. Between the First Jedi Purge/KOTOR 2 and the Great Galactic War/SWTOR, there's still 273 years. That's plenty of time for the Jedi Order to rebuild, especially since Kreia makes it clear that there were MANY Jedi the Sith Triumvirate didn't kill (i.e. Bastila Shan, Juhani) aside from Meetra Surik and her Padawans. The GGW lasted 28 years, and it's clear by the time of the Cold War that the Jedi have been struggling to keep up. Or haven't you noticed that the Imperial Storylines have the Jedi getting their arses kicked left and right and constantly fuck up. The Sith's inner rivalries and fucked-up policies + Vitiate's own egomaniacal plots are the main reason the Galactic Republic wasn't dust. But I guess understanding all that requires having enough attention span and cognitive skills to pay attention to plot points & details, dialogues and texts. Hard stuff for the majority of the population, especially the people who think Disney Canon is oh so fantastic and original and like being coddled by the Great Horny Rat.

Never understood how people to this day think that House and Ryan are similar characters with similar beliefs. Apart from the fact that they are both venture capitalists and sharing similar likeness to Howard Hughes, these two characters are NOTHING ALIKE. House is a pragmatist, he always has a backup plan whenever the things may go south, but Ryan is idealist at best. House turned NV from band of backwards tribes and fight clubs to an impenetrable fortress heavily armed with his Securitrons. Ryan couldn't even avert the civil war and Frank Fontaine, his rebellion went right under his nose and he couldn't do anything to avert it. There are also differences in the way they interact with the player characters. Unless you, Courier turn arrogant and refuse to give House his Platinum Chip, he will, no surprise, be pretty pissed, meanwhile in Bioshock, whether you are Jack or Elizabeth, Ryan is always hostile and looks down upon you no matter what. House is the least condescending one in all of the New Vegas' factions, he never chastises and gives you more than enough chances to redeem yourself while you are working for him, the luxury NCR and Legion won't present you at all. Sure you can go saying that House is dependent on you, that's true, but regardless he is still nicer to Courier than NCR or Legion ever will be. And objectively the Very Good Karma Courier siding with House while presenting Barter check to General Oliver in regards to NCR leaving Free Economic Zone of New Vegas alone but maintaining good relations with and scouting its highways is the BEST ENDING a New Vegas can offer. Ryan deserves the golf club execution, House? Hardly, not so much.

[@normalguy5208]

In the heart of New Vegas, in the Lucky 38, Two minds debate the future's fate. Mr. House stands with plans so grand, While Andrew Ryan speaks of man's free hand. Both hold visions of a world reborn, Yet in their dreams, the ideals are torn. "Freedom," says Ryan, "a utopia bright, Where man's own work shines like light. Rapture was my dream, a sanctuary free, But you, Mr. House, seek control, not liberty." House counters with cold, steely grace, "Order is needed in this desolate place. In Vegas, I’ve built stability and peace, A future where mankind can find release. Without my guidance, chaos reigns, Unchecked freedom brings endless pains." Ryan retorts with conviction clear, "Your rule cages man, instills fear. True greatness springs from struggle within, Not from a gilded cage, where all is thin." House remains steady, his logic cold, "The world outside is harsh, uncontrolled. I offer a shield, a place to grow, In this wasteland, where little flows." "A bird in a cage," Ryan declares, "Can never know the life it bears. Your city is but a monument to fear, A place where dreams are drawn near." House’s eyes narrow, his tone grows stern, "Direction and order, these things you spurn. Rapture fell to man’s own flaw, A lack of control, a fatal law." Ryan scoffs, his patience thin, "Machines serve you, but what of men? Can they not choose their path to take, Or must they bend until they break?" House speaks of vision, of a future bright, Where machines and order hold the light. But Ryan’s words cut deep and clear, "Without true freedom, there’s only fear." In this place of splendor and design, They argue the fate of mankind's line. Ryan warns of revolt, of dreams turned to dust, House speaks of control, of power, of trust. "New Vegas will fall," Ryan does say, "Your rule is but a fleeting play." House, unfazed, stands tall and sure, "My city stands, a legacy pure." The debate grows fierce, ideas clash, In the city's heart, where futures crash. But then the plot twists, the Courier’s play, A pacification field ends the fray. Yes Man reveals what lies in store, For House and Ryan, their plans are no more. "Surprising, isn’t it?" Yes Man grins, "The Courier has outmaneuvered your sins. He’s been through this timeline, seen every thread, From Rapture's rise to the living dead." House's grip loosens, his power wanes, The Courier shifts the balance, breaks the chains. No bullets fire, no war begins, Just quiet words in this den of sins. Ryan and House, once titans bold, Now see their end as the story unfolds. For in the game of power and might, True strength lies in shifting sight. House’s face, once full of pride, Now reflects the toll of the tide. Ryan, too, must face his past, A dream that crumbled, couldn’t last. In New Vegas, under its glowing light, The fate of men is questioned in the night. Control and freedom, two paths collide, Yet both must bend to fate's swift tide. The Courier, unseen, holds the key, To a future of possibility. For all the plans, the schemes, the lies, Truth rests in the unseen skies. What is Vegas, but a dream forlorn? A place where destinies are torn. Ryan retreats, his ideals bruised, House stands firm, though somewhat confused. But now the story's threads unwind, As the Courier shapes what’s left behind. "Let me stop you right there," Yes Man smirks, A twist in the tale, where chaos lurks. "Mr. House, your time is done, For the Courier sees what’s yet to come." In the Lucky 38’s grand hall, The future awaits, the rise and fall. "Your ideals," Ryan says at last, "Are but shadows of the past." "And yet," House replies, with iron in his voice, "Only one can make the choice." For in this world, where power shifts, The Courier brings a change, a rift. The securitrons stand, silent and still, Bound by a force beyond their will. The game is over, the players bow, As the Courier stands, the master now. And in the halls of Vegas grand, A new age begins, shaped by one hand.

1:36 GAURHHH NOT THIS AGAIN

[@TheOzBear]

Suggestion : Joshua graham and Max payne debates gods existence it could be good in my opinion

[@joshuagraham2843]

I would like to meet mr payne

[@UnanimousDelivers]

Odo vs Quark? Was Ryan trained on Ryan's voice actor Armin Shimerman? It doesn't sound like him.

[@christopherbravo1813]

Regardless of how much of a point either of the two have, Mr House has one clear advantage over Andrew Ryan Mr House's philosophy, however flawed it may be, *works.*

[@atlasgraham154]

House's AI voice is on point. Ryan's sounds like a tired Ron Perlman.

[@theeternalchronicler3072]

Would like more of these two

[@martintinajero9140]

Can we get a second part With these two together.

[@rangopistacho6928]

Its like im watching the polar opposites of humanity debate over freedom or control but manifested into two very well suited gentlemen

[@DiegoRamirez-xn7nl]

Dios te bendiga por tan magnifico vídeo. Es un maldito sueño hecho realidad. God bless you for such a magnificent video. It's a damn dream come true.

[@artemisarrow179]

Mr. House understands no man, however accomplished, is not an island.

[@HiddenGemHunt]

LOVE THIS. One thing, though. Just to match House, it would be cool if Ryan was represented by his photo wearing the fedora on a screen, the one that appears everytime he talks to Jack. It would here perfectly.

[@blazermettro2059]

Of the two places to live Id choose Mr House. We all saw what happend to Ryans dream.

[@vos2693]

You do not choose in autocracy, autocrat does.

[@МаксимНиколаев-ч9э]

You are free to leave New Vegas whenever you wish, tho​@@vos2693

[@BenHopkins1000]

What’s next? Blitzo (Helluva Boss) and Shrike (Monkey Wrench) debating their own experiences as independent business owners?

[@BenHopkins1000]

@pjusttheletterpreally.noth2995 Give it time...

[@henrycrabs3497]

​@pjusttheletterpreally.noth2995Yes, there is a Brandon Rodgers Ai voice

[@christopherbravo1813]

I dunno if an AI voice exists for Amane Kuzuryu, but I would enjoy seeing a debate between her/Remiel and Emily.

[@CopeSeethorntin]

We are not going there the fan base is to demented to be allowed in the fallout fan base. Not all of them but I've been through enough of vivsies comment sections and Reddit posts to know they must not under any circumstance, spread.

[@mr.gockderdudel9274]

The postal Dude and Joshua gram on The meaning of life?

[@davidolvera1031]

Is this House vs. Ryan or Odo vs. Quark?

[@fasthink864]

Do you write these yourself or do you let AI write the dialogue? It’s written well

[@TheCouriersGambit]

I write them! Thank you!

[@Lord-Gazimus]

Clearly, written by a fan of the deep lore of both.

[@Princebryon1]

I kind of really like the conversation to the point where yes man was getting to the point of breaking the fourth wall and hey time travel is kind of cannon in the fallout universe because there is the reference to the Star Trek the guardian of forever. There is the guy with the mysterious Magnum. And even in fallout 4 there's a picture of him on the comic called the man who could stop time and the astoundingly awesome tale

[@fosphor8920]

House literally said he doesn't care about what humans do, as long as they ain't going mad. He had cannibals as henchmen when we meet him, saying that he seeks control is just wrong haha

[@devinmccanna645]

Two fantastic characters who I wish we could have seen more of in their respective games

[@High-Pie_Chop]

I was not excepting this type of video...

[@theoneand0nly874]

dr ford from westworld and Josuha gram debating consciousness and the divine spark of the human mind.

[@TheDentedHelmet]

I agree with everything that Ryan says buy I'd pick living in New Vegas over Rapture any day.

[@nickchavez720]

I find it interesting how both stumble over the problem of humanities fallen nature. Ryan thinks it can be avoided if you have the right people. And House thinks it can be contolled if you build the right system around it. Both of them are idealistic to the point of being naive. It just manifests on different ways.

[@DivineKnight_115]

One is an overprotective father and the other became the very thing he swore against.

[@darthflipyap7040]

Quark and Odo arguing yet again!

[@thirstysailor579]

2:50 I’d argue that House does have a human contact in the form of the player character, if the player sides with House that is, which arguably (depending on level as well) is far more effective of an agent to House than his securitrons.

[@AndyJP]

The Think Tank need suitable debate partners

[@qwertyui622]

The Dominion War sure has been hard on Quark and Odo

[@constableconstable2563]

Both Ryan and House both make solid points on how their respected philosophies ruled their empires which both have their strengths and weaknesses. Rapture was built upon the ideal that humanity would prosper by allowing geniuses in their fields operate without restriction be it science, medicine, art or industry, even though this is a noble idea it is, however slightly naive because even though it led to Rapture developing advanced technology decades ahead of anyone else, it can also lead to people abusing their power. This is prevalent with morally corrupt people such as Frank Fontaine, who took advantage of Ryan's free market ideals to create plasmids which in turn led to citizens overusing ADAM and becoming psychotic splicers. With Mr. House, even though he maintains stability through thinly veiled autocracy, he failed to see that the gangs he recruited to help run the strip were plotting a coup against him. And the courier who could make the choice to simply kill him and takeover. To put it simply, Mr. House sees things in a realistic way where humanity needs to be kept in check with a velvet glove covering a iron fist. Andrew Ryan however sees things in a idealistic way where humanity should operate without restriction to reach their full potential. While this lead to Rapture's advanced technology, it also left it open to morally corrupt people who could exploit it.

[@1IteleportedBread]

have you taken your blackberry joy constable or did you forget?

[@DuskyPredator]

I would say at least House never pretended that he thought he was above others. Ryan buckled into hypocrisy when he banned the items that created a black marrket and then took out his competition and absorbed it under his control as a right. House used his knowledge to take advantage of the weakness of humans to build a system that owes him. Ryan talked big about people owning what they make, while ignoring the exploitation and corruption of his people.

[@AgentXA564]

I find it interesting that Mr. House seems to have at least some respect for Andrew Ryan while Andrew Ryan doesn't seem to have any respect for him.

[@RealCheemsJr.]

It's exactly why rapture fell. He believed he was the apex predator in the game of the survival of the fittest. He never believed he was wrong, even at the end.

[@rimfire8217]

I'm blown away Having no previous reference for Robert House before watching this and reading the Fallout Wiki, I think I get the gist; Authoritarian dictator who, in the aftermath of an apocalypse, wants to create a perfect society that can be truly eternal. In contrast, Andrew Ryan is an Objectivist who firmly believes in individualism, he created Rapture for himself first and foremost with all others simply being collateral. The overall philosophies of these two are in line with the tradition of Aristotelianism and Platonism. Ryan believes in a Free-Market Meritocracy that allows people to pursue their own individual happiness. While House believes in an Authoritarian Aristocracy ruled by a single enlightened Philosopher-King, Him. Both of these characters were inspired by Walt Disney by the way.

[@ras8472]

I need to hear Andrew Ryan and Joshua Graham go at it now.

[@noahberg101]

Mr. House: I survived because my mind was stronger then my body just as you who's will was stronger. Graham: I survived because the Lord saw fit for me to repay my sins. M.H: Is that it, then tell me was it God who dropped the Bombs? Was it God who smothered the world with atomic hellfire? Where was your God...when mankind needed him most. JG: He saw no need to interfere in a relationship in which man saw them as more powerful then He.

[@kaelang12]

oh hey, quark and odo, lovely to see you again

[@GhostLink92]

This is the weirdest episode of DS9 I've ever seen.

[@ethrsag735]

Ultimately both are right, humanity must be allowed freedom and liberty to probe its potential, to test its perceived limits with individual beacons lighting the dark of the unknown. But in that same vein, such liberty must have a code to keep itself from allowing its extremities from burning it from the root and stem, snuffing out the flame before it learns the heights it can grow towards.

[@ChristianGibbons777]

I’d love to see a 3 way conversation between Cell, Darth Nihilus, and Dark Samus. All capable of absorbing life essences their own way. Imagine a conversation about what it means to steal or take/absorb other peoples abilities and their essence!…. Wouldn’t that be quite the conversation or argument perhaps???

[@Dragon66898]

As much of a Bioshock fan that I am, I’m choosing Mr. House since I want protection from someone that’s trying to eat my face.

[@Aegis_7VII]

AI philosophical debates are godly content.

[@AuroraWolf655]

I feel like aurthor maxson and Andrew Ryan would have a massive fallout, between Ryan’s idea of no restrictions verses maxsons contain and control policy

[@crowreaper9393]

You know, maybe Mr. House and the Master could debate on future advances, one is mutants and the other is machine, maybe have one with the Father as well and they would debate about technological advances.

[@crusaderknight4792]

The interesting thing is that House is voiced by Rene Ouberjonos while Ryan is voiced by Armin Shimmerman. They played Odo and Quark respectively on Star Trek Deep Space Nine

[@michaelwalk3487]

Wait! I know I just commented but I may have a better idea, Robocop talking to V from Cyberpunk, one was forced to be stripped of his humanity, while one willingly removed theirs

[@jsnap1]

Can't believe how seamless the voices are i can't find faults

[@CapriHorns]

This is art. Its performative philosophy..so aesthethical.

[@Rangernewb5550]

The House AI sounds phenomenal! I'd love to hear him verbally destroy more radical idealists

[@thecat-alyst2716]

I think it'd be neat to have a version of either female Shepherd from Mass Affect, or else any character voiced by Mila Kunis or Susan Blu in these. They could go toe to toe with House.

[@Vladax94]

Rene Auberjonois and Armin Shimerman, Odo and Quark, debating again.
