I have tried to introduce Keanu Reeves's Matrix movie into this discussion of networking for the specific reason it dealt with the illusory human perception of reality which is based on the habitual day to day choices people make in the world they live in and the need to break free from "this" world and make new choices.


I am saddened that my spark has not kindled any fire.

Ah!

So I will let it be.


This is a common network problem.

It seems so.

How would you describe the problem?

Reluctance to "know". Seeing that it is about "knowing". Networking.

Don't be sad. I introduced the Holographic theory partly in response to your early reference to 'The Matrix.'

The Wachovya brothers partly based their film plot on this theory and of course science fiction. But the point is the same: the world we see is not real. It is a hologram, an illusion, projected by a 'master programmer.' Our senses cheat us that it is real.

Of course Hollywood needs excitement so they had to have kick ass fight sequences; a bunch of villains and a love interest to spice things up.

The simple fact is you are the Master programmer; the software is 'Consciousness' and the hardware is the Singularity.

What could account for this 'reluctance'?

It was a favourite film and I watched, nay, studied it several times over.

On the face of it, it is about escaping the realm to attain higher status. I agree about your observations about it though I don't agree with it.

What kind of 'control' does your answer imply?

I do not understand what you are asking. Kindly rephrase.
