Ok so there is a lot of [spoiler][/spoiler] bullshit out there claiming that people have a handle on what the destiny story really is. Having extensively read late 18th early 19th century philosophy I can tell that without a shadow of doubt that destiny is something entirely different from what people think it is. the majority of these guys compare destiny to dark souls. or make references to platos allegory of the cave, but I don't think it's the cave, or some matrix time loop. close but not quite. I believe the destiny story is closer to Descartes evil demon theory. The traveler is a manifestation of humanity as a whole and even though humanity is dead and gone, we are fooled by the evil demon or the anti-traveler (possibly the nine) that we should keep fighting and look this way while something else is happening over here. like a bait and switch. (some elements of matrix) but .... the kicker is that the game is called destiny right? and the Easter egg from halo shows the poster of the game? sooo..... I believe that destiny is a game within a game. your guardian is really trapped in a game. like tron style and he's really in the halo universe- kind of a wizzard of oz situation. that's why the hive are so similar to the flood, the fallen are so close to the covenant and the brutes are so close to the cabal. and the ghost is so close to cortana. I think the plot will be revealed eventually, but that's my idea so far... what do you guys think?
