This is an advert by NordVPN, so having them call themselves 'best' isn't all too surprising. This 75% off deal is offered to everyone, so it's functionally 0% off. My main issue is their legal troubles though. I enjoyed using the application, but it constantly logged me out and I no longer trust them to protect my privacy.

“The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.”

I saw The Matrix in a theater in 1999 with two other friends. I was 18, they were both 19. We were talkative young adults who loved to gab philosophy. When that movie ended, all three of us walked out of that movie silently, pondering. We didn't say a word for probably twenty minutes or so. Our minds were just reeling. So much has happened since then. It's nuts.

My thoughts exactly. The movie had caused much controversy...what angers me is that (as an example), the Vatican itself is (said to be) so darn corrupt...ashamed to call myself a Christian Catholic sometimes because of the hypocrisy etc in the Church. I don't intend to stir up trouble but the Vatican is clandestine in regards to their archives, their 'activities' for a reason. I'm not a non believer of God. I strongly believe in the infinite universe, I believe good & evil exists. At the same time I believe power - when placed into the wrong hands is abused completely. When I first saw the movie (I do love the Matrix Trilogy & it does speak many truths), I knew right away that many people would try to shut it right down / ban it.

Totally agree. In addition, The Wizard of Oz beautifully illustrates (and somewhat innocently) in its 'pull back the curtain' moment as to what extent 'the real' actually is and what could 'really' be fake. But has anyone seen the GREAT IRONY to all this? The perils of this fake, materialistic world had to be brought to the masses through the morality of a movie plot, and many would argue that the Hollywood machine is a prime conspirator in shielding us from our intrinsic thoughts and making us think more extrinsically, through advertising and unrealistic aspirations, as Chamath Palihapitiya and Johann Hari warn of. The reliance on repetitive jobs, poor relationships built on likes, bad consumerism, too much TV, fear propagated by the media, and a 'YOU MUST BE DOING THIS, THIS and THIS or YOU ARE A FAILURE' culture is stifling our intrinsic ability.

The responses to this statement is just another attack. Depression could be seen as something is missing, as in, we are locked and we cannot get out. Or we are free and we cannot get out. The same with the aspect of being awake and dreaming. Depression in itself could be representative of giving in. The emotions that run riot are not governed by a machine; our thoughts are our own. The determination of free will and destiny is the CHOICE OF ACTION OR INACTION. And so, the people here that are literally just attacking your statement are not completely understanding what you are saying.

[@testrabbit]

interesting...I disagree that it's not a technology, tho. And on screen I disagree with a definitive line between artificial and natural. Here's why: It's a "technology" in the sense that there exist exploitable, mathematical rules by which things work. We can engineer systems in which these rules, this quantumly computed matrix of fundamental physical values, can be manipulated in such a way as to serve the agency of free will from a self-aware, emergent being. Second disagreement is regarding the hard line between artificial and natural. The Cosmos is all things that exist. The Cosmos _is_ Nature. All things that exist are a subset of Nature. Therefore, _everything_ is natural, including free will or AI with it.

[@testrabbit]

Oh and the by the second logic I have to conclude that the spiritual is a subset of the same Nature, although perhaps unexplained functionally heretofore by the mathematical models I loosely referred to as physics, which remains incomplete.

[@bgs03548]

Ra'sheen Turpin This is a simulation. The physical realm is the first Matrix. That’s where the pods are..on Saturn and the Crystal rings transmit the energy. The Clones are necessary for transduction of Source Energy and to stimulate the Avatars in the simulation. Saturn and the moon are both Matrix control/management areas. The moon is outside the Matrix. The 5 senses are electrical impulses. We don’t have them outside Matrixes. Reincarnation occurred on the moon but that ended 3 &1/2 years ago.

About 20 years ago when I was still in highschool, the ideas relayed by "The Matrix" was so mind blowing, I instantly fell in love with philosophy. Though at the time, the majority of people merely saw the movie at its face value and considered it nothing more than entertainment, like a how one would regard a video game. On a field trip, I had discussed the ideas of how life could actually be simulated. It was somthing that a NewScientist magazine article (I can't remember which issue, but it should be within the 2000-2003 archive) had actually explored and I had found it fascinating and decided to share it with a few classmates one night. I was instantly ridiculed and was told i was "crazy" while one classmate dragged in others to laugh when I presented the idea of how this world and ultimately ourselves, could be a mere simulation. At the time I seemed to have been was one of the early adopters of the philosophies following the release of "The Matrix" and had explored the ideas with great interest down avenues that were available at the time. It has taken the rest of the world many years to catch on and today it's quite a prevalent concept that's entertained by society as 'an intriguing conversation topic.' The point I want to make here is, *don't be dismissive of ideas that your mind can't grasp because as how Jordan Peterson elegantly articulates it "assume there is something that the other person knows, that you don't* " Don't laugh at what you can't understand, It just shows how much of an ignoramus you are.

Verifying that the Earth is a globe is a matter of simple observation, calculating its circumference (which you could *not* do if it were flat) is so simple, it was done in 240BCE using very basic tools. Verifying the age of the Earth would take more education and better equipment but it is still something you could conceivably do.

But most people don't verify it themselves and simply accept what they're told to believe. I see that's not what you did, which is great. But most do simply just accept what they're told without independence verification. And the reason why that's not a good idea is the official/mainstream narrative can be wrong/lies. A quick search for "Conspiracy theories that turned out to be true" shows the list is actually quite long. If no one ever dares to question the official narrative for any of them, the truth never would have been exposed. So the overall point I'm making is the official narrative can be wrong and shouldn't be blindly accepted like most do. Even when it appears to be verified by many authority figures, it can still be false or lies.

[@wolf1066]

@@lightbeforethetunnel OTOH, just because *some* conspiracies turned out to be true, it does not mean people should just believe whatever conspiracy they're told - especially when stepping out of their echo chamber for a while and doing a bit of *actual research* (rather that endlessly parroting "facts" spouted by their chief nutters) would show them exactly how stupid their conspiracy is. Instead, we get uneducated drongoes claiming the lunar landing (note the *singular* because the morons aren't aware that there were more than one) was a hoax and that the globe Earth is a conspiracy that has simultaneously lasted *thousands of years* _and_ was started by an organisation that wasn't created until 1958! Apparently all the intellectuals of the ancient world were NASA shills...

[@therealgingerbeardman]

You have to question everything you’ve ever been told. If someone makes a statement that conflicts with what you believe, the next step is to investigate why they believe as they do. If their belief can hold up enough integrity to be plausible, it’s time to question your own beliefs. Question why you believe as you do and search for the answers. If you still feel that your belief has more validity than theirs, keep holding on to that belief. If you feel like their belief actually makes more sense, it’s ok to update your beliefs. Why keep believing in Santa Clause after you’ve seen the truth? Repeat the process every time your beliefs are challenged.

I had something happen about a year ago that's left me wondering. I was driving home on the highway, 135 mile drive. And I always do about 9 over the speed limit to shave 30 minutes off a 2 hr drive. I'm in the lower part of the state on I-25 in Colorado, and I worked on cars doing bodywork and paint for 30 years. I passed a 2011 metallic grey Lexus that was a really nice car other than what looked like a relatively new scrap going down the front door, full length and about two inches deep and continuing halfway through the rear door. I never looked at the license plate and didn't think much of it. About 20 minutes later I passed a identical Lexus with the exact same sent starting at the very front of the front drivers door and continuing halfway through the back door. I was really tempted to pull over and wait for 10 or 15 minutes to see if the other car would go by. This was right at the start of the lockdown and only a handful of cars on the road in the middle of nowhere. And doing 9mph over the speed limit I rarely get passed by anyone and would have remembered the metallic grey Lexus passing me after I just passed him. I still swear it was the same car twice.

“Likes” are a means of validation, just like money, just like praise, just like degrees. Using it to define who you are is nothing new.

[@user-ss4nw7ue7j]

If you think about it, what you said is valid, however there are people out there that see this 'like' system to be a good thing. Just hear me out: Ever heard of the game, Death Stranding? The creator, Hideo Kojima responded to the idea of the 'like' system so that players could potentially be more connected in a game that is only for single players. A little aspect of wanting connections to be made, even for the validation of work that is done from one player (such as building a bridge) that another player can use and say thank you through a 'like'. Connection and validation is still an issue, a saddening one, whereas for some people, it is indeed needed on a large scale. Having 'likes', followers or degrees under one's belt can perhaps help some find that connection and validation, but for many, I try and see it as a learning curve; it is not a waste of time to try these things out and discover that is is not for you. Praise should be done in moderation. And money is unfortunately the currency. I would rather have the currency go back to a favour for a favour, such as: "help build my thatch roof and you can have two of my chickens" sort of deal. But...it isnt. This is how it is. And it is everyone's choice whether to do something about it, go with the flow, against it, or find another way. There are many ways to live, and suggestions and togetherness through connection can perhaps help the sharing of ideas. So, in fairness, life is a learning curve and defining who you are is a full time job. Noone gets it the first time, and others get it really quickly. Doesnt mean the things that didnt work out are a waste a time; because they are not. It's all in the learning. And all in the sharing of experiences and ideas. So, yes, you are right. It is nothing new. But it shouldnt be dismissed as a bad thing either.

[@C_The_Guy]

no, the means of validation is not the thing thats new, its the technological system and social construct formed around it thats supports this new “value system” thats new. if we all universally agree on the value of a like, and hold it to high regard, then the people who control, manipulate and influence the way we earn likes has control over us. they can create obstacles, and pay walls, and hoops for us to jump through, to encourage to work harder for likes. and once we are hooked, they get us to voluntarily perform labor, sacrifice rights, hand over information and data almost anything. you have people out here, voluntarily giving your their personal information, for free, on social media, just for the prospect of likes. its a dangerous new currency that has ingrained itself into our society. and if you dont believe how dangerous it is, just look at how firm of a grip it has on today’s children. committing crimes, physically and psychologically torturing themselves with all these “challenges” just for likes. even killing themselves over this. this is quite more than just a mere simple means of “validation” its become a way of life.

exactly but freeing your mind is not about believing whatever you wanna believe. Is about winning an unwinnable war all by yourself against many many layers like culture, society, education, religion, money, competitors, criminals, taxes, laws, thought control, governments, brutality, real armies and nature itself. There is no escape from this unless you live in a cave with no one else around however you will find yourself in just in another predicament or in total anarchy. Just like in the movie only the supernatural could save us and I am not talking about religion but instead of all us working for making our lives more miserable (together) while rising a few ultra wealthy we should work to make this world an utopia by removing governments and religion out of the way. Laws, taxes and justice enforcement are needed but the current state of things are obsolete and just benefit few people in power while creating pain and misery for the masses, that's why we are modern slaves and technology growing is only adding sedative tools like video game, movies, etc while increasing control and surveillance via internet, AI, smartphones and devices. But there's another thing most people ignore completely and that's armies are deadlier than ever and are being automated almost entirely making revolutions almost a thing of the past.

Simply choose love instead of fear and watch the world transform into a much more positive place. The world is the way it is because of our collective thoughts about it. It might take some time but if you decide to choose more positive thoughts and actions, you'll get back exactly what you project out. They only have as much control over you as you allow them. Love is the one thing they can't control or benefit from. If you don't expect to enjoy life anymore, then you won't. That's exactly what they want you to think.

[@tomlock5484]

1. Do you ever get that feeling where you’re not sure if you’re awake or your still dreaming? Mmm, all the time. (Every fibre of our being is designed to live the truth, to live the true life. This isn’t the life originally intended for humankind and so our innate propensity is to live a life different to this one. If we tapped into our intrinsic spiritual needs, this life will feel like the fleeting dream that it is.) 2. You’re looking for him. I know because I was once looking for him too. When I found him, he told me I wasn’t really looking for him. I was looking for an answer. (We are all looking for answers to so many questions we have about our origin, our destination, and the reasons for everything in between, yet many people deny that they are looking for God.) 3. Stay as low as you can (while escaping the office) (True Christians do not draw attention to themselves. They keep low and humble but continue to do the work God has assigned them to do.) 4. You have been down there Neo. You’ve been down that road. You know where it ends and I know that’s not where you want to be. (When Neo goes to get out of the car) (Once a person hears the truth about God and what the bible is really teaching, that knowledge cannot be unheard. The lie will continue to entice you and try to pull you back into the fleeting dream-world you are used to, but your new-found knowledge and better sense is that nothing there will make you happy.) 5. You have a feeling there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is but it’s there like a splinter in your mind driving you mad. (Most people know that this world is all wrong but, resigning to the brainwashing tactics from the media and the education system, people accept it as the norm.) 6. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. What truth? That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Born into a prison that you can not smell nor taste nor touch. A prison for your mind. Unfortunately, no one can be told what the matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. (You can be told the truth about God. You can also be told the truth about our position in the grand scheme of things, what happened in the past, why we are in the position we are in now, and what is promised for the future; but you must make it your own. It’s similar to being introduced to a person. Once introduced and told a bit of background information about the person, it is down to you to further that knowledge and to build a personal relationship with that person. You have to make the truth your own.) 7. Take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. Take the red pill and stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. All I’m offering is the truth, Neo. (When Jehovah’s witnesses knock on your door, this is what they are offering.) 8. Why do my eyes hurt? You’ve never used them before. (Learning the truth can be like seeing for the first time to many people. It can be exhausting to be viewing the world with new sight. It makes everything different and, effectively, everything is being viewed for the first time as it really is.) 9. You’ve been living in a dream world, Neo. This is the world as it exists today. (Once the truth has been learned, the lie is that much more prominent. People realise that the life they have been living was a dream and can now see the world as it really is.) 10. I didn’t say it would be easy, Neo. I just said it would be the truth. (Though the truth is better and offers a better promise for the future, it isn’t always easy. This can sometimes cause people to go back down that road mentioned in point number 4.) 11. I can’t go back, can I? No. But if you could, would you really want to? (Once you know the truth, there is no unknowing it. You can return to your former ways, but you will always know that it is a dead end. Once knowing the truth, nobody wants to return to ignorance. 12. When the Matrix was first built, there was a man born inside who had the ability to change whatever he wanted, to remake the matrix as he saw fit. It was he who freed the first of us. Taught us the truth. As long as the matrix exists, the human race will never be free. After he died, the oracle prophesied his return and that his coming would hail the destruction of the matrix. (Jesus freed the first of his followers with the truth. His return has prophesied the destruction of this present world system.) 13. I can only show you the door. You’re the one who has to walk through it. (The truth, the information, can be taught but it is up to each individual as to whether they accept it or not. They can all be told what needs to be done, but they are the ones who have to decide whether they will do it or not.) 14. The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. When you’re inside you look around. What do you see? Businessmen, Lawyers, Teachers, Carpenters, the very minds of the people we are trying to save. But, until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged and many of them are so hopelessly dependant on the system that they will fight to protect it. Are you listening to me, Neo, or where you looking at the woman in the red dress? (We teach the truth to people who want to hear it. We need to not associate too closely with those who do not want to hear it. They are the people we are trying to save. People are dependant on the things of this world and will fight to save them. We are looking for people who want something other than what this system can offer. We must remain focussed because the distraction of the world can misdirect us just as much as anyone else.) 15. Morpheus explaining agents to Neo: This is another training programme designed to teach you one thing; If you are not one of us, you are one of them. What are ‘they’? Sentian Programmers. They can move in and out of any software still hardwired to their system. That means that anyone we haven’t unplugged is potentially an agent. (Agents, or Sentian Programmers, are a metaphor for demons. This is talking about possession, but essentially anyone who is not a follower of Jehovah is a follower of Satan since Satan’s only agenda is to draw as many people away from God.) 16. After 9 years, you know what I realise? Ignorance is bliss. (Longing for things the world has to offer can cause this kind of attitude. It is the same attitude that caused Adam and Eve to eat from the forbidden tree. People who don’t want the truth or even reject the information in the first place are content with their ignorance.) 17. The matrix cannot tell you who you are. (This world system only temporarily covers over the emptiness, but will never fill the void and you will never find your true self. Only the truth will do that.) 18. No one can tell you your in love. You just know it. (Likewise, no one can tell you Jehovah is real. You have to take in the information, think it over, and make your own conclusion based on the facts.) 19. Have you ever stood and stared at it, marvelled at its beauty, its brilliance? Millions of people just living out their lives, oblivious. (This world system is a very clever machine. Watching people in a town or city centre we can see so may people buying stuff they don’t need, wilfully giving money to the system that keeps them enslaved.) 20. Neo, you’re going to notice sooner or later, just as I did, there’s a difference between knowing the path and walking it. (Having the information, the truth, and doing what it asks of us is quite different. This is what makes the difference between having faith and exercising faith. Knowing the truth and teaching the truth. Having the information and giving the information. 21. I know you’re out there. I can feel you now. I know that you’re afraid. You’re afraid of us. You’re afraid of change. I don’t know the future. I didn’t come here to tell you how this was going to end. I came here to tell you how it’s going to begin. I’m going to hang up this phone and then I’m going to show these people what you don’t want them to see. I’m going to show them a world without you. A world without rules and controls. A world without orders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you. (This is a clear message to Satan. He is afraid of those who tell the truth to others. We don’t know when or how this system will end, but we do know how its end will begin. That is with the truth being told in every corner of the inhabited Earth. We show people what Satan doesn’t want them to see, a world ruled by Jehovah’s Kingdom.

At the end of his life, he told my sister of the shadows, creatures and evil forces moving like worms throughout causing lines , cords and chips to be changed and redirected. He could see these evil creatures causing havoc and building their own power structure. The other two Men said the same and were scared. He said they are taking over this world.

It’s at least worth looking into. If I lost a loved one and found out there brain had been taken, personally, that would be psychologically traumatic, possibly causing a permanent unrest/ anxiety and ability to have closure.
