I saw the matrix in theaters. I thought it was neat how they referenced Alice in wonderland's use of pills as a notion of de-realization, and that Neo had a copy of Simulacra and Simulation, and the idea that you can be addicted to artificial realities. https://t.co/muhuLyUdQG https://t.co/kjr9kM5q0W
Amazing what you can learn about someone by consuming a fictionalized philosophical work, drilling down into the memes that would have been influencing themselves at the time of their ideas developing, and building up alternate realities.https://t.co/gLSDYHWPNG
I didn't bother to read BaudrillardI prefer to drink from upstream so as to not be tainted by ideology. https://t.co/V3pXhwqQZd
"The South Park episode âGuitar Queer-Oâ presents just about the finest pop articulation of Baudrillardâs theory of the simulacrum that I can think of. Itâs every bit as clever as the first Matrix film and has the added benefit of no Keanu Reeves." đhttps://t.co/DMsGOlmu8W
Time for some Hyperreality. https://t.co/nZmkpZrNBX
Why, I imagine 5 hyper-realities before breakfast.https://t.co/7gGOZ9MzcI
Have you ever cried over a fictional character's death, or succumb to the feeling of joy over the protagonist's success? Then you too have experienced the impact of the hyperreality's wool over your eyes.Some just go one step further.https://t.co/2ESj3uwcUp

I don't always newsjack, but when I do it's because I didn't realize there was a memetic event in this hypertext hyperreality known as twitterdotcom.Riding the meme waves of activity into stardom as commentary on our modern news (social)media.https://t.co/zhLcMNChNq

My twitter avatar is a cyborg bear brought back from the dead, set in a universe of lesbian bears trying to tear down the boundaries of their reality as symbolized by a metaphor about a wall between bears and non bear domains.The bears eat people... metaphorically speaking. https://t.co/Oe8LLrRtde
If the matrix blew your mind, have you considered drinking from the upstream influences rooted in anime imagery?I promis there are mind fucks lurking in their midst that will shake the very foundation of your myths and narratives.
"The Wachowskis openly cited the anime movie as an inspiration for "The Matrix.""https://t.co/So4KZUSvsx
I like this framinghttps://t.co/6nAitHCm62
Fun fact:"Key The metal Idol" came out a number of years before Serial Experiments Lain and is even less well known as an influence in this space.You can see in intro sequences a reference to clockwork mechanisms. That seems a shared influence to GITS2https://t.co/IT7AeY57YP

I picked up to read Zero to One in the bookstore yesterday and saw that Theil had made the same inferences on the likely-hood of how the memetic content of a boomer's upbringing could bias the reasoning of people in discounting the power of planning vs chance.
"After logging in, he appears to be playing some kind of game or participating in chat with ladies and gentlemen with headless avatars. Some of the accompanying filler text appears to be Japanese-translated dialogue from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." https://t.co/aQGnurB2je

I read an article on an futuristic music anime being perhaps partly inspired by an AI music generators that David Bowie had in the 1990shttps://t.co/L078n2JHbPI found it thanks to @enkiv2https://t.co/F0IHI68UpSStill uncertain about this:https://t.co/SoVI9v6vQK
Recommend reading https://t.co/C7iAhngdZK if you are curious re: computer generated creative writing.Imagine: linguistic version of inkblots pulling ideas from your subconscious to help generate ideas, using your own modeling+story writing capabilities.https://t.co/qlbOvBvlQT
I wonder if the agents in The Matrix has interrogation subroutines that try to get into their captive's heads.I read scenes like this, even as a child, and thought "I bet not"https://t.co/xgf7xK93M9 https://t.co/ts97icVq8E
Agent smith's model of humans as virus is fascinating.I think he's wrong about viruses being bad; a narrative stemming from the germ theory of disease. https://t.co/SOushmVxgJI also think he's wrong about humans/ his disgust. Yet so many treat that scene as a sort of gospel.
Before the pandemic broke out, I was looking at other non-sars strains of coronavirus as possibly acting as 'transient' actors within the gut ecosystem. They may be a candidate that interacts with gut bacteria to induce hibernation ala hydrogen sulfide.https://t.co/uKfNzpuLgV
He would have done better to compare humans with ants. We may even use a similar methylation process - derived from a virus - to select for gender associated chromosomes.https://t.co/ncdkMFLxE1https://t.co/qcb1BJaaQE

Also, what the frell did I just watch?"Michel Houellebecq Interview: Writing Is like Cultivating Parasites in Your Brain"https://t.co/Q6BQFX5ypWhttps://t.co/IVPrE2Wxbt
I sometimes imagine an ego so powerful it is able to hijack other brains, simulating parts of itself in there, like a mental infection. Meditate enough and all thoughts look like parasites, ideologies competing for headspace. The will of a people, your ancestors, channeling you.

I learn so much weird ass shit from my weeb GF.Like the scene where two bears sniff each other's butts is why I started researching the gut microbiome of hibernating bears.https://t.co/5YXimaPOGQ https://t.co/GJYqKUtISN
Dear Diary,Today I learned our brown bears are related to the species of bear that attacked a bunch of settlers in 1915 in japan. The Indecent may be the inspiration for the plot of Ikuhara's Yuri Bear Storm.https://t.co/nQVChWu1sSGrowl growl.https://t.co/WyRbQ79oNC

Got to the point where I can describe a philosophical work and she can share with me a manga writer who's works might be related to that space.To be fair, it's not all great. She has every Uzumaki work ever made just laying around her room at random.https://t.co/OTiVWExwCk
She has a copy of Key, and recently bought a blueray version of Seriel Experiments Lain. She still has the VHS of it.I can show her an anime and she knows what it is and can usually tell me who wrote it. It's amazing. I'm going to keep her.https://t.co/ek0g4Y0WrF
