the matrix

haven’t read or seen it.. but so many reference it.. thought i should at least look up the plot.

references:

this tweet is actually what got me to look it up.

[as i was reading Jeremy Rifkin‘s near zero – where he’s saying the foundation we seek is threefold 1. communication commons/internet 2. energy commons/internet 3. logistics commons/internet – and he was saying specifically – in the passage i highlighted in his book – that “a failure of imagination here, it lies in a misunderstanding of the critical role energy plays in foundational infrastructure”]

The Matrix is a 1999 American–Australian science fiction action film written and directed by The Wachowski Brothers, ... It depicts a dystopian future in which reality as perceived by most humans is actually a simulated reality called “the Matrix”, created by sentient machines to subdue the human population, while their bodies’ heat and electrical activity are used as an energy source. Computer programmer “Neo” learns this truth and is drawn into a rebellion against the machines, which involves other people who have been freed from the “dream world”.

Morpheus explains that in the 21st century, humans waged a war against intelligent machines they had created. When humans blocked the machines’ access to solar energy, the machines instead turned to harvesting the humans’ bioelectricity as a substitute power source, while keeping them trapped in “the Matrix”, a shared simulation of the world as it was in 1999, in which Neo has been living since birth. Morpheus and his crew belong to a group of rebels who hack into the Matrix and “unplug” enslaved humans, recruiting them as rebels.

and aha now.. to the tweet at least.

didn’t realize that billions of people were hooked up (and locked in – hony) for their energy (bioelectricity).

so the non-dystopian future/now – harvests curiosity rather than bioelectricity.. that as our unsatiated by choice drive/energy.. why grit – story ness et al

because in that we leap frog to the betterness (no need to juice energy out of us). ie: toby

THE MATRIX WAS NEVER JUST A MOVIE “Neo” wasn’t just a character — he was a symbol. Neo = Neocortex. The higher brain. The divine mind. When Neo woke up, *it represented the moment the human consciousness activates the neocortex — the part of your brain that transcends survival and animal instinct.The moment Neo “woke up” from the simulation was the moment the higher mind activated — the rise of the Neocortex over the Reptilian Mind. He **broke free from the animalistic loop of fear, control, and instinct — and stepped into conscious creation, love, and divine clarity. The Matrix represented the lower nature of humanity — a coded illusion generated by the subconscious mind, a network of ***programs built on survival, consumption, and conformity. ****But Neo remembered. He saw the code — because the neocortex perceives what the lower mind cannot. It decodes illusion. It sees vibration. It remembers truth. Every Agent Smith is the voice of your programming — the echoes of fear trying to pull you back into the old system. But every time Neo chose love, ****every time he trusted the still small voice within, he rewired the Matrix itself. Love was his weapon. Awareness was his freedom. And Truth was his resurrection. When you awaken your Neo-cortex, you too become The One. You transcend the primal and enter the divine. You no longer fight the Matrix — you bend it. Because the code responds to the consciousness that wrote it. You are not meant to escape this world — you are meant to reprogram it with light. Wake up, Neo. The real Matrix was always in the mind. And you are the architect now. ~ Lizz Marion

*neocortex preference: not threatened et al

**detox leap

***already on each heart ness

****itch-in-the-soul ness

nothing to date has gotten to the root of problem

legit freedom will only happen if it’s all of us.. and in order to be all of us.. has to be sans any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do
