One good thing about Covid... Haven't been sick in years! Not even a cold, but that extends before Covid, but it did make me step it up... My secret? As soon as I feel the slightest thing I pop some vitamin C, and take a nap...
Except for some diabetes nonsense... which really sucks..
The Matrix and The Terminator are science fiction movies that explore the theme of a dystopian future where machines have taken control. In The Matrix, humanity is unknowingly trapped in a simulated reality while machines harvest their energy. The Terminator franchise focuses on a future where machines, particularly the powerful AI known as Skynet, have rebelled against humanity.
Both movies depict a struggle between humans and machines, with technology playing a central role. The collective consciousness, also known as the hive mind or group mind, is a concept in which the thoughts and knowledge of individuals are shared and interconnected.
In The Matrix, the collective consciousness of humanity is being manipulated and controlled by the machines through the simulated reality. In The Terminator, Skynet gains power by connecting machines worldwide in a networked collective consciousness.
Therefore, the connection between The Matrix, The Terminator, and the collective consciousness lies in their exploration of the relationship between humans and machines, and how technology influences and shapes our perception of reality and collective consciousness.
In the 1980's, A&W tried ta compete with the Mcdonald's Quarter Pounder by selling a 1/3 pound burger at a lower cost. The product failed, because most customers thought the 1/4 pounder was bigger.
Because 4 is bigger than 3, right? 🙄
This is why I don't argue or debate online...or in person.
And I'm sticking with this. It wasn't the Bible that caused slavery, because ain't no way y'all NEVER seen a white man, and then he showed you a book you've NEVER seen and you believed it, AFTER you built pyramids (which the world CANNOT replicate to this day), were the creators of science, medicine, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, astrology, writing, sailed all the oceans, and did a lot of wonderous things and then BOOM 💥! A book you've NEVER seen, a man you've most likely NEVER seen, told you that he's superior to you and you had to be a slave to him....Shiiiiiiiiiid!!!
THE AFRICAN INVITED THE EUROPEAN FOR DINNER!
That’s the first thing he did. The Indians invited the Europeans for dinner. The Polynesians invited the Europeans for dinner. Now, if you invite people for dinner, you first place, you’ve got plenty of dinner, and you have a society that is traditionally hospitable to strangers. The Indian youngs invited Christopher Columbus for dinner. The first thing they did. All right, now let’s look at what was happening inside of Christopher Columbus’s mind, and we can go to his own diary for this. He said I wonder why they are so friendly. They’ll be easier to conquer than I thought they would be. I wonder why they’re bringing such small amounts of gold. I wonder where the mines are. His intentions were not good. It wasn’t good then. The intentions are not good now. And the black man is still hung up with this dinner invitation, this kindness, with the thought that if you treat a person humanely, that he would act humanely toward you. Black people have not seen white people at all.
That is why they can’t deal with them.
