Who else has the Matrix as one of their top movies?
I can't think of a movie being more relevant to our community than this one. We all took the proverbial red pill at some point. Otherwise we wouldn't be here.
Maybe like me, you enjoyed the first movie of the trilogy but was confused about the trilogy has a whole.
What's the heck is it suppose to mean?
It is clear that the first of the trilogy is about "What is the Matrix". But the more heady stuff of the Matrix Reloaded(the why) and the Matrix Revolution(the How) completely went over the head of most people...including me.
I went on to look for the deeper meaning on different blogs but they were all superficial in nature. (Talking about capitalism vs communism or saying that it was a rehash of the "Allegory of the Cave" of Plato.)
I was mistaken.

is a 2 hour long presentation but my mind was BLOWN AWAY! (into tiny pieces of code)
If you watch this video, you won't be able to resist to watch this trilogy with a complete different perspective.
Enjoy!

Two must-read books for Matrix aficionados:
Simulacra and Simulation
by Jean Baudrillard
Taking the Red Pill: Science, Philosophy and the Religion in the Matrix, edited by Glenn Yeffeth - especially the article by Dino Felluga: "The Matrix: Paradigm of Postmodernism or Intellectual Poseur?"

My personal discovery is that we are all Neo in potential....

That looks cool...anywhere I can read them online?

I would also HIGHLY recommend "Memetic Magick: Manipulation of The Root Social Matrix And The Fabric of Reality" by Kirk Packwood. The latter requires at least a basic understanding of memetic theory.
I figure I should also bring up the obvious element missing from this conversation... In the second movie, Neo was given the option to go through a back door and reset the matrix mainframe (reboot the matrix) or go back into the matrix and rescue Trinity (feminine spirit). It seems pretty obvious to me this whole cryptocurrency movement is an attempt to reboot the matrix and place ourselves on top as its "benevolent" overlords.
The only way to establish true change is to heal our sick consciousness. People must begin to care about each other again. This isn't an easy process and can be achieved slowly with a free and censorship resistant Internet. It can also be sped up with the use of entheogens like ayahuasca.
I also agree. The destruction of the sacred feminine is all around...always replaced by the warrior/princess feminine.If you're into the Matrix, you'll love The Invisibles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Invisibles) by Grant Morrison.
Yes! The Invisibles, essential.I would also HIGHLY recommend "Memetic Magick: Manipulation of The Root Social Matrix And The Fabric of Reality" by Kirk Packwood. The latter requires at least a basic understanding of memetic theory.
Intriguing! I will check this out for sure. :)I figure I should also bring up the obvious element missing from this conversation...

+5% I have so much I want to say to this that I'm not going to write anything except, I heartily agree. 8)
