I've been an anomaly in the system since 1995. When I used to dress like Neo, before the universe had ever heard of 'The Matrix'. I believe I inspired, somehow, The Wachowski brothers. (Now sisters. Ahem). It involved a high grade dose of LSD, a red kiddies chair in the children's section of a bookstore in Reading, and 'Where's Wally', which I was reading in another dimension of fearless hilarity. (It was new to the market). I was tripping balls in a black mac, shades, black shirt, and trousers, and boots. 'Where's Wally' was amazing. I think it's 'the great joke of how 'The Matrix' was inspired. The secret involves 'Where's Wally?'.
Another really interesting video, Adrian. I too loved the original Matrix trilogy (have yet to see Resurrections though) and the Architect and the Merovingian (and the scenes you used) we among my favourites as well. The idea of the eternal recurrence, essentially a Nietzschean proposition as you rightly point out, is an underexplored element of the Matrix and I'm glad you gave it some light and attention. I find that the idea of fighting for peace is another important theme, which essentially concludes the original trilogy. The Architect and the Oracle have a final conversation about "how long do you expect this peace to last?" to which the Oracle replies "as long as it can", which also hints at the underlying nature for humanity to always be in a state of conflict with itself and that peace, for the most part is temporary, but we should still enjoy it, revel in it and aim for it, regardless. It is constant battle which requires truth seekers, anomalies, love, self-transcendence and the belief and application of free will. Happy New Year
I had to watch the movie twice in order to effectively and efficiently Factor it into this illusion we call our reality. Great video once again from you Adrian. Much appreciated
In the scene with the Architect, I was thinking, 'this is definitely my favorite scene,' right before you said the same! This video is amazingly excellent! Thank you!!
Adrian, the RUclips channel ‘The Living Philosophy’ has just produced a video on The Matrix & the philosophy behind it. You may like to look at it if you have the time?
Either way both are rooted in the belief that there is either or. Self realisation is the recognition that there is no thing expressing as everything, non dual, beyond concepts and beliefs. Mopheus had to do this with Neo while still in the matrix to make the choice seem real. Thats why he says everything begins with choice. But even the choice is an illusion and so is free will when liberation is realised from the level of the absolute/the one. Neo was already the one but had to realise it through seeing what the matrix is hence Morpheus planting the seed of the red pill. Therefore sages who realise this, point people towards this truth. When realised, the matrix/maya/illusion still exists but the One sees through it and its limitations which a formed from concepts and belief systems. The movie Lucy is another pointer to the truth. At the end of the movie she dissolves the physical self and goes into omni presence, become nothing then you are everything. To become full, you must become empty, empty of everything you think you are or have been conditioned to believe. The divine paradox, Its the same reason why Neo fell when Morpheus asked him to make the jump between two buildings, Neo was using his mind to free his mind based on what he believed. He had to transcend the mind and undergo ego death to become the one which eventually happened in the hallway when Mr Smith shot and killed his physical body/mind.
I've been thinking about ending races. In a good way, not writing that all races should end rather, if ppl. could/would lose/cancel that aspect of identity the world will not have those types of judgments anymore. We're all simply ppl. getting by on Earth. I self identify as a human being on Earth...for now...
Be an anomaly for the system.
A difficult, deep read, is code for a goodreads two-star review.
The first movie was all those things you said.
The second 2 not so much.
I've always been

The 4th movie is the self-critique.
Free will vs determinism.. whatever you think, you're right.

Two times only? The magic starts after the third.
@@metamorphosis_77 I was actually tainted by the rhetoric' avoid the matrix from your frame of thought' ,then that's when I watched it with curiosity
@@metamorphosis_77 3rd time is the charm..no?
The Matrix is one of my favorite movies. Its very deep, love it!
Awesome video man. The pursuit of freeing our minds is ongoing!
ongoing indeed :)
In the scene with the Architect, I was thinking, 'this is definitely my favorite scene,' right before you said the same!
This video is amazingly excellent! Thank you!!
haha great minds think alike
another incredible video...
Adrian, the RUclips channel ‘The Living Philosophy’ has just produced a video on The Matrix & the philosophy behind it. You may like to look at it if you have the time?
It was about Baudrillard and the Matrix. Great video.
@@metamorphosis_77 yes. I told him about your video too, as did someone else apparently!
Do you have Patreon as yet?
@@dlloydy5356 After 100k subs I will make patreon
@@metamorphosis_77 very disciplined. You produce great content
Another mind-bending video!
The human instinct to want to understand and know more is something we should all lean into!
Interesting philosophy on the movie.
Interesting thoughts -- I'm glad I found your channel. Best wishes.
Like this one! Helpful.
I take the red pill 💊
me too
Naw fuck that blue pill all day
I loved your breakdown!!
AI is real, I just resetted one on "of" if you know what I mean ? Its crazy what people can create nowadays.
ruclips.net/video/2ztTft7rFJU/видео.html
insane indeed
Love your thinking
Boy you don’t disappoint.
😎
One of my favorite movies, but the first one only really... the second was tolerable...
Great summary and analysis, as always
Gracias,
♥️✌️🍄
your channel deserves more credit, cant wait for a new video
Tomorrow :)
How do you know its real???
Your mind makes it real!!!
Massive contradiction...pwned...
So reading that quote with the fresh mind. It says to me our mind thinks it’s real but it might not really be there.
Faster than the blink of an eye
What would happen if he took both?

No idea what that means but sounds cool 😂

What do you guys think about the plot being adopted from a book written by a black women?
Hello Quiz. I've been waiting for you.
It's from a book ? What name tho ?
Race of the women I don't care about, as long as it's a Good book who cares.
About the same as I would feel about any other color of flesh suit.
I've been thinking about ending races. In a good way, not writing that all races should end rather, if ppl. could/would lose/cancel that aspect of identity the world will not have those types of judgments anymore. We're all simply ppl. getting by on Earth. I self identify as a human being on Earth...for now...
