»You and the Matrix...«

After reading what bullet-timer wrote on the thread he satred, see link below.

matrix-explained.com...

I was happy to see that there was someone else like me on this site who believed the way i did.

But i would like to know how many of you out there in MX.com land believe that you are living in a matrix? Or should i say The matrix? Is it coincedence that every thing we saw in the first movie, relates to us in the way we are living our lives at this very moment. After watching the first moive it opened my eye's to the posibility. I stop looking at thing for what i saw them but tryed to look past them. if you sort of know what i mean.

So yeah, what do you think, i know alot of people will think i am crazy, yeah i alread think i am crazy. But please i would like your thoughts, or opions on the subject.

I believe that we are in The Matrix.

That would help explain the Ws - they are programs of the system designed to lower the capacity of intellectual development of human youth.

of lowered expectations.

LOL!

I know what Neo1 is talking about with M1 making you look at everything differently. I did the same thing but to answer his question I do not think we are living in the Matrix. I would like to know if he means that we are slaves to machines who have us in a computer simulation? I certainly don't think that but months ago I would have. That's in the past this is reality jump off a building and see what happens.

But back to M1 making me think different I just started to question everything why is this happening how is this possible? Merv was right why is the only real source of power without it we are powerless. And I don't think Neo1 is crazy cuz I would have to call myself crazy then (I used to think like Neo1). I think he like alot of people who are stuck on the Matrix is looking for something a place to fit in or meaning in life at least I am. Anyways I can't change how anyone thinks but I found out this is reality which is a bitch but we gotta deal with it.

Nobody said Neo1 was crazy. Footloosifer has been committed to mental hospitals before, understand? He never calls anybody crazy unless they really deserve it.

I can think of better (worse?) words.

So have I buddy.

And Neo1 called himself crazy I said I don't think he's crazy just searching for something.

Ah, jumping on foot's crazy train?

I wonder why no one's jumped on the tranny wagon?

One time I was "on the inside" and they were watching Mars Attacks in there. Mars Attacks! If there is a more fucked-up movie to let schizophrenics and bipolars watch in the hospital, I don't know what it is....

No not jumping the train it's the truth. But I say I'm not crazy they said it was more depression anyways.

To answer your other question I don't think that's a trend that's going to start anytime soon if EVER!

Jermaine101 can i ask did you stop think like this. Is it because you would rather be a blue pill person, rather than a red pill person. I would rather live my life like this, looking, searching for an anwser, sign to the truth, than live my life a slave to a system of control.

Now here's the kicker:

Does "searching for an answer" preclude you from slavery to "the system" or is it the source of your enslavement?

good piont it could be a little of both.

It can only be one, but it can be either.

The main difficulty I had besides the philosophical stuff with this movie was that I wasn't inspired by Neo's character. He seemed like the kid from Lord of the Flies who goes off and starts a little pig-hunting club on the island. That is, in the Matrix these people are stranded inside the Earth, with nowhere to go, and this guy decides to go and start a final showdown with the enemy. Why? Couldn't they have picked off the machines one by one instead of having a big superbattle?
It reminds me of the whole Iraq thing, but that's for another day.

I would like to think that finding the answer or the truth precludes me from slavery to "the system"

What if there is no answer, and "the search" is a function of "the system"? Then your search enslaves you, like it or not.

I don't think Neo is even that kid. Morpheus, maybe. Oracle more likely. Neo is one of the kids who tagged along with the pig-hunter. He just happens to be "the One."

Are you trying to drive these kids to despair or what, transio?

More like forum art.

Isn't that always the way experienced "Casanova's" approach their potential lady loves? "Hey, you da One! How you dooin'?"
I think in the movie The Doors Jim Morrison tells his girlfriend something like that when he meets her. So I say Morpheus wants to bugger Neo.

bugger

wow. Been a while since I've seen that usage of the word! Check your PMs.

I stopped thinking like this because it's not right it's not the truth we're not in the Matrix so I guess to you I'd be a blue pill. But I was heavily under the influence of marijuana and alcohol with a bit of paranoia so it wasn't a good mix.

P.S. if you find the truth and we are in the Matrix give me the choice of red or blue pill and I'm taking the red and telling everyone in my family I told you so.
