« on: June 18, 2015, 01:56:09 pm »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 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... 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.
Could crypto empower the feminine in the future?

General Discussion / Re: Sidechains should be a priority for bitshares.
« on: June 18, 2015, 02:17:44 am »Bitshares' #1 priority should always be making its p2p asset trade platform better. just nailing that one value proposition would add billions in market cap if promoted even halfway decently.
Feature creep is our enemy.
Solving the Decentralized Exchange is a HUGE value proposition. Once we are succesful we it, we can move to the next problem.
By the way...what problem does having a cryptocurrency backed by BTC solves?

« on: June 17, 2015, 05:12:17 pm »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?"
https://books.google.com/books?id=idvYAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA71&lpg=PA71&dq=Dino+Felluga:+THE+MATRIX:+PARADIGM+OF+POSTMODERNISM+OR+INTELLECTUAL+POSEUR?&source=bl&ots=xSAJ1BLGMz&sig=ZCQ0qBqvX9kuQHnC2LEX54CVWQ8&hl=en&sa=X&ei=cKmBVfbVBMufsAXO3oOoAQ&ved=0CCEQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Dino%20Felluga%3A%20THE%20MATRIX%3A%20PARADIGM%20OF%20POSTMODERNISM%20OR%20INTELLECTUAL%20POSEUR%3F&f=false

http://images.nexto.pl/upload/publisher/Matrix/PDF/public/Taking_The_Red_Pill-eBook_demo.pdf
My personal discovery is that we are all Neo in potential....
Simulacra and Simulation by Jean Baudrillard is the book where he hide his stash at the beginning of the movie. It's on my amazon order list.
I'll look into the Red Pill Book too
Thanks!

To return to the reptilian brain issue which is in essence "fight of flight response", I have experience in my own life how I am able to stop knee jerk response to outside events by using meditative practice(awareness of breathing, logic, perspective, etc.) which use other part of the brain. (neocortex for example)
The Law of Use (that which is not use is lost) dictate that the more we are able to control use the part of the brain that is connected to logic and language, the less power the unused part of the brain has over our lives.
On a macro level, the mass media is mind control to keep us in a state of fear...which in turn stimulate our reptilian brain.

According to your logic I should be able to use my "will" to stop myself from blinking, stop my heart from beating and stop my lungs from breathing. I may be able to hold my breath, slow my heart rate, and keep my eyes open, but eventually I need to breath and blink and pump blood through my body.

He stopped his heart for 20 seconds with his will.
Yes, every parasympathetic function of the body can be controlled by the sympathetic(The power of the Will)
We are much more powerful than we are thought to believe.

Neocortex is where it's at baby. (See the NEO allegory of the Matrix Decoded -> https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,17006.0.html)

« on: June 17, 2015, 03:50:28 am »Also, we must also let go in the belief in authority...which may take a few centuries.
Until then...Vote with your feet!
Awesome!
Although I seriously doubt ridding humanity of the belief in authority will happen in my lifetime, I think it could happen faster than a few centuries once momentum in the paradigm shift begins to move in that direction. You're right tho, in how deeply entrenched in our psyche it is. Here's hoping Larken Rose will live a long and fruitful life!
People went into the Wild West in search of freedom from authority.
The first thing they found they needed was a sheriff.
We will wind up needing a digital sheriff.
That's just evidence that at their core violence was still present. When we overcome our deep seated appeal to violence to solve problems the need for authority will dramatically be reduced. How will disagreements be settled? by 3rd party arbitration of course.
It is such a radically different context for life I don't think we can even truly grasp it now, as we're so deeply conditioned to think with the violence within us. As rational, peaceful parenting and respect for children increases, so will the violence in society. That's my opinion anyway.
I would like to point out that the "Wild West" was in large part an idea vehicled through movies and cartoons. Most of the real life account actually reflect a much more "peaceful" existence than their counterpart back east.
On that topic, I would suggest reading: "The Not So Wild West". https://mises.org/library/not-so-wild-wild-west
It's a good read and is showing some of the interesting voluntary solution people came up with to provide security.
