I think it’s true in the sense that we are living in some type of holographic simulation. A very realistic VR game. A very persistent quantum illusion as Einstein put it. I don’t think that we are being harvested as batteries though. I think that we are living in a very sophisticated spiritual technology jacked in to this place via the central nervous system. Everything is energy and our senses are filtered down to perceive that energy in a very restricted way.

Couldn't have typed it better myself.



I highly recommend Nick Bostrom's book.

The Matrix is absolutely the cabal telling us what they've been doing for decades, maybe centuries. they did it and want to brag about it. no it's not just red and blue pill crap. it's absolutely happening, just not virtual reality one.

The movie is brilliant take on the internet. The battery thing was a stupid decision by the filmmakers.

The movie should have been about the internet and the “pod fields” should have been the robots needing the computing power of the human brain not the power of their bodies for heat or whatever dumb thing the movie went with.

You should read SnowCrash by Stephenson if you haven’t already

It redpilled a lot of people through parallels to the "reality"in which we don't exist. Years later, they had to add a "final chapter" to a story that was already finished and final, in an attempt to redefine that phrase I used at the beginning of my reply- "redpilled".

So yeah, take that as you will. What could be so dangerous that a "revisionist history" had to be applied to it? The "story" was over and written in stone... until it suddenly wasn't.

Silicon Valley created the matrix.

They monetized all your attention with that little glowing device in your hand.

This makes no damn sense. So what about the world outside the simulation? Something has to be "real". Occam's razor says to me we're in the "real world" unless a whole lot of evidence is presented.

Real world evidence suggests that we're living in a simulation, every day.

Until we connect the Quantum with the Relative we will continue to be allowed to participate in the game.

String theory is not the answer.

The consciousness outside of this simulation is what exists between the Quantum and the Relative and we're being prevented from going there in our current consciousness, in this construct ... at least for the time being, or until we pass (sic: die).

That space would be our heaven and where the builder of our construct, our God, THE God, resides. All other gods are simply our attempt to reconcile the unknown, that we do not understand, with the known in this consciousness. In this evolutionary process we are still adolescents ... for some unknown, as of yet, reason for which we are not yet privvy. Perhaps we are required to continue to persevere, or have our souls (our energy) recycled, in some karmic (moksha/Atman) way, through reincarnation. (If we are blessed)

What most fail to fully understand or even recognize is that Moore's Law is applicable to human existence just as it is to technological advancement .... and it is rapidly reaching its inevitable peak, for humanity, at a CAGR of roughly 20%.

This is scientifically and spiritually provable simply by observing a semi-log plot of technological/human advancement beginning with the first cave drawings and evidence of our species' self-realization ... until now.

There is also some evidence that it is applicable to ocean borne mammalian species (whales and dolphins) as well as primates.

With that understood we may include, among the list of self-fullfilling movies such as The Matrix ... we may include one or two of the Star Trek movies, along with Blade Runner, some of the other Asimov and Dick cinematical interpretations, et al.

None of this is really new. Plenty of Greek philosophers, Hebrew, Hindu and Christian philosophers, and even various 500-2000 AD so-called scientific philosophers have had similar published revelations.

Once we accept the Hegelian dialectic, we begin to cleanse our minds of certain restraints and understand the purpose of this path we have been set upon.

It's almost as if this life becomes a proving ground, a test, where only the most worthy are promoted to the next stage.

There are other clear limits as well, the most obvious being the Physical Laws of this existence, speed of light ... our inability to travel, in any number of lifetimes, to places we might observe through any known means. The construct may eventually allow it ... but we're going-to have-to earn it, and imho we have to first overcome the clash between the two opposing views that are relatable to the Hegelian dialectic.

Good vs Evil.

This ongoing battle is the only thing that has an obvious effect upon Moore's Law where it applies to our species. Right now we may be on the verge of self-destriction ... or being forced to start over.

What literature you recommend for an elementary intro introduction into this?

Anything by Nick Bostrom.

Here's a good primer that I help by means of edits and contributions with many citations and references that'll lead you down the path.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis

You might also read between the lines of The Holy Bible. In addition many of the Hindu Texts, most obviously the Bhagavad Gita, will offer some enlightened suggestions that we are just now able to fully consider.

And I'll add ... simply pay attention to life. Recognize the fact that there are no coincidences - only attempts at trying to force one to pay closer attention and ask questions of yourself ... and reach your own conclusions.

I was raised by an incredible Father, a math and science major .... certain of a supreme being, deeply religious and driven, but not in a coventional way. He forced me into a life of critical thinking where it comes to our existence, especially when it came to organized religion and false prophets. He was very confident in his beliefs .... he loved sitting outside at night and looking into the heavens while pondering the possibilities. He was an extraordinary human being who passed into the next realm, with me holding his hand, two years ago next month.

He was the most stoic man I have ever known. He is revered by many who knew him.

He insisted that I think .... that I always should keep my mind open.

It's never too late.

Wow, just read an excerpt and some reviews ... how has that escaped me, until now?

Thanks for the recommendation.

This is complete hogwash and proves my point. You're making up higher realities to explain things, when the much simpler explanation is, there's just this reality... that we don't completely understand yet.
