It's talking about the end of the world as we know it. We could all die. Our children could live in a world where they have no control and live in little zoos. Or where their very lives are the robot's form of energy (The Matrix). This scares me. This should scare anyone who has a soul. Therefore, it has a very large Pathos because it speaks to my emotions.
However, this could cloud a reader's
judgement and distract him from discerning whether the Logos is logical
and his Ethos is high enough.
