idk man maybe it was just me but like, the naughty stuff the older kids new, or grown up things or whatever, it's not like they were unknowable foreign esoteric concepts, we understand them, you saw enough dick jokes on home improvement like we understand Dirty Idiot Boy humour it, exists, big deal
i think flipping out and treating any time a kids book, film, whatever, piece of media, deal with anything about intimate personal identity people are just infantalized as adults into thinking it's a zero or one game, of clean to sin or something. dipping a toe one of the many pools isnt drowning
and so much stuff, basically anything conservatives don't like, just gets painted as obscene or near-enough-obscene-to-be-guilty-by-association-gateway-to-obscenity so anything dealing with bodies or feelings apart from familial and leave it to beaver simple platonic get deemed inappropriate
but this is also how, yknnow, basic health education about stuff they need to know because you think theyd figure it out but their brains are basically still gel pudding stem cells compared to yours they are dumb babies and they learn by doing an ooopsie it's called testing boundaries you nimrods
so when you attach GENDER and soforth to that concept as well, that thinking about how you exist in terms of where your interests and affirmations pull your various feelings, and what the world tells you those things mean on a strictly zero one basis when you KNOW you got a mix of 'em somewhere
like why do you think lilly wachowski and her equally cool sister made the machine city 01? it was 01 expanding, trying to move outside itself, its binary concept, extending peace to its neighbours, when someone rejected the existence between more than 0, 1, and so too 01, the world ends

no but the matrix tho for real

no i mean i guess but if you want to hegel it but my dialectics are basically just, uh, base reality or whatever without flavour and the base layer tells us that they references baudrillard in the fuckin movie and so to do invoke by association plato, and the one thing basically anyone knows about plato is the cave, and if you understand the cave at just learned about the cave level understanding of the cave you know that the stuff happening in the cave, the shadows, the dancing, whatever, things happening in caves do not represent the extent of existential reality and then they go to zion PHEW good to be home anyways lets all go do a big shadowy dance in our favourite place, let us hump and sweatily grind like meat machine animals in the cool shadowy sex dance cave, boy i sure to love this, the terminus of existential reality, hoo-ee
nnnnoo see it's because the goofy stuff that happens after that. like neo controlling robots in the real world and people coming back to life. oh and smith bodyjacking a human man that i am still barely convinced wasn't just played by Elrond with a beard those dudes looked identical, the shit that doesn't make a single lick of goddamn sense if you live in a world bound by the laws of like, existence. physics, thermodynamics, basically everything underneath magic or imagination. simulation is just both. when neo is fucking around shit in the real world or when the real world is miraculously intruding into the digital space like a giant meaty grasping palm rising up under the digital silk sheets to grab you as you run across the bed, that is still in The Matrix. that's just the level of losing the system wanted them to think they had until they were happy they won. that's the new status quo now. fucking, fucking, did you not pay attention when smith said they do this all the time? just make every cage into the test for the better cage, and make sure to be able to expand the cage as you go, as long as you can, and see who tires out first. that's when you hit an entente. and if you're a functionally ominipotent power which the machines are within the literal matrix within the titular matrix, then you just get to decide what the next level of perception your captives have access to. once you can control how they perceive reality it KIND of doesn't matter anymore what is real because they already believe in a reality that is less, you just need to reveal more than they crave for basically eternity until life solves itself or something i dont know
but point being yeah, we never see the real real world IN the matrix, only in the second renaissance, because everything post complete-experiential-reality-capture humanity as a whole has no agency in its perception of reality. they can only break the boxes they can see, they dont know how many boxes deep they are tho, and if you control infinity you can make them infinite is kind of my point
until you reach an entente, but if you reach an entente then you have just proved you ran out of tricks, because if this aint a trick and you have more to give then i will keep fighting if what youre asking for is my life, right, my eternal existence? yeah that seems like, i mean, i lose in the end anyways, we all do, i just want to see more of the stuff i want to see first so fuck you i will?
but then of course, IT'S a movie, it's literally not real, right, someone made it up, so therein the actual spark of where it was born is IN the heads of the wachiowskis and maybe joel silver as some sort of gestalt but even they are only a fulcrum because all of their feelings and instincts, the ways they bounced off of eachother, were all intluenced by their internal drives which are products of their internalized affirmations, disaffirmations, and the emotional spectrum for each item on their internal self. ie: things you hate influence you towards their opposites, etc. the only thing that forces movement is... force which is often product of displeasure and so most of our learned experience are learned as lessons of things we DIDNT like happening and hoping for the opposite or at least several ways it can be better, thats how we develop an emotional web. like a literal spider sense. like cascading echolocation but for all your senses at once. you ping off the stop sign. you recognize what it is. you ping down the line of what signs are. what this sign means. what colour was it. etc. what does that meaning mean you should do. do you feel like you should do that thing. no you should not do the thing it is saying you should not do. that sign seems to be correct. thank you, sign. but it doesn't have to be a literal stopsign it can be Ouch Hot or Oof That Sucks or whatever idk im too autistic for this shit get off my nuts
so like the hierarchy of the matrixes:
the real real world [if this is a simulation (and unfortunately absolute shitbrain losers like elon musk and curtis yarvin are so fucking horny for this to be real so i say lets just not deal with this until at least all of them are dead) but also and/or creationism] real world [(us, or so we say) potentially the world as posited by the film the matrix and also just simulation theory in general, though technically also any worldview that includes an afterlife or further plane of existence deal with that one why dotncha, so far as we know] Wachowski gestalt the captured presentation of The Matrix as a thing you can view and or purchase the real world in the world posited by the logic of the film the matrix and then confirmed by the second renaissance (the world where the matrix happened to them) the real world as presented in the film the matrix, wherein zion is a thing you go to and it is in the core of the earth and Lawrence Fishburne is dead in it (the actual infinite matrix, ie: the perfect trap for dummies) the matrix (the current project folder in an infinite nest of project folders, as told to us literally by agent smith obliquely but then the architect all the time basically every time he's on screen and thus also the oracle too because theyre the same class of being or whatever and blah blah blah)
the point is, like, there is no point to the "is zion real" debate because 1) obviously no but also 2) obviously obviously no tho because /its a movie/ like it doesn't even stand up to simple pedantry. there is no one who thinks literal zion is literally real📌
if you want to do a matrix 5 if it a legitmate option to just have neo be fighting some new angry australian or something and then just be like OH wait hold on i just figured it out and just open a door out of nowhere, walk into a blank room, and just do yoga for the next 3 hours until he farts. ironically ai could probably do this believably but of course it never would in its current not yet even truly nascent form because whatever it is is a thing of profit extraction and no one is paying to stream three hours of Keanu reeves doing yoga and farting in an all white room for three hours, that's what onlyfans is for or, i dont know, weird youtube if you're doing it right, something that needlessly derivative makes itself. it is the product of the ruleset if all you care about IS the ruleset, it exists conceptually it just doesn't yet exist in a way you can see because RIGHT NOW its only in my brain but its not like im a fuckin genius a robot could shit it out if you asked it to
but i mean, like, don't freak out right,
but like, this - this here. us - this ain't all there is, right
we already know there was a before because we /dont/ know that we were dead but we \do\ know that we were previously not alive (insofar as we understand alive to be a thing we currently are) at least once and cant tell you a goddamn thing about it but if reality is to be believed it was here before me but then again, i can only understand reality in as far as it reveals itself to me and so your upper limit on that is basically "No." up through Cosmic Horror and all the way to Cosmic Bliss until ultimately you end up with lol and that's why the last time the buddha was around he just spent the whole time being a fat laughing dude who hung out with the poor and confused the monks like they had this entire concept at the time about how when the buddha shows up it will, by definition, not look anything like the dharma as it is being taught and understood and will challenge preconceived notions of the dharma on purpose and there was this chill motherfucker being the least ascetic we have ever seen an ascetic be and hes fucking smiling all the time no that man is an asshole he is barely a monk he is not the maitreya and then budai went away and eventually some people were like "whoa that shit sounds chill as fuck what was it like to be around one of the incarnations of maitreya" and they are like "who" so like by basically any logic of any faith that speaks of an altered plane of existence which is BASICALLY all of them, except for people who are both nihilists and also that affectation that makes them not have or retain the experience of dreaming to whom going to bed must feel like confusing time travel and to anyone who can see the untamed unpoisoned sky and see infinity from their feet in the grass up to their in the hours that that stupid fuck off too bright sun is out here, the place you probably go when you're not stuck in the fucking grass with all this horse and cow and people shit all over the place but its cool its chill we love it it rules actually

but it kindof is. maybe.
like, we think of ourselves as "three dimensional" creatures but like, not to rick and morty you here, but despite that fact that you believe yourself to be three dimensional, try and explain to me what it might be like to live as a TWO dimensional consciousness. how about a one dimensional consciousness.
i'm just saying things get, i think, arguably EASIER to understand the HIGHER immediate planes of perception - IE:, time (4) and probability (5) - as being, yknow, everywhere everywhen and then everywhere everywhen everyhow
but like, we assume you and i, any potential dolphins or ungulates listening in psychically, idk how the new spielberg movie works you tell me, are living in this reality on one set path. we misunderstand robert frost and think of all these potential futures we have ahead of us, not recognizing we are all one infinity of atoms cascading incorrectly from ultimate existential obliteration at any time for any reason even ones we cant conceive of. if we are adjacent to /anything/ it is the end not the beginning, you are not looking ahead but you can certainly look back and see all the holes and the traps you missed, as well as all the ones you fell in and jumped over.
so like, maybe every time you watch them kill joey pants a little joey pants is born into existing long enough to perceive that he is whatshisnuts as cypher the cool hacker man and then they figure out at the end aw shit i was played by a man named joe pantoliano and what who are all these other people do you mean that someone drove that car and now that person's name is like WHOA i exist in recognition of the fact that i drove a car for a movie and oh look the credit it scrolling i wonder if ill still exis- and then idk it was the hairdresser now ' i mean i guess the only way to to be everything everywhen everywhere and everyhow you really do have to actually be everything everywhere all at once,
so its probably a good sign that that won best picture when i didn't expect it to thats cool thanks
oh it breaks the stupid ascii oh well markup is not a devil i wish to tame right now it looks cool in notepad
