Christian symbolism in the movie 'The Matrix'

[murph63]

That's the one and only place to acquire information?. LOL.

No, Cy, I mean READ books. You buy books, look at the words, put them on your shelf and think you are now smart.

I don't consider sitting in your underpants watching YouTube while eating your cornflakes to be "learning". Especially when all you care about is if you can then name-check on JPP to make yourself look smart.

Physicist Sean Carol and Neil deGrasse Tyson

And here it is....

have YouTube channels. TED talks stream on YouTube. You must be committed to a faculty where steaming services are blocked if you believe there is nothing educational on YouTube.

Yeah and your Associates Degree was important too. Just not the way you think it is.

I think one of the biggest sources of knowledge for you are my threads,

Why? Because all you do is quote other people? You add nothing, Cy. That's how I know you would never have survived a Thesis or Dissertation track graduate degree. You are mentally incapable of generalizing or extrapolating from what you read.

given how they are almost the only place on the internet you obsessively spend time.

LOL. Hardly. Unlike YOU who claims non-stop to be on here for 20 years posting your bullshit all day and all night long.

That's sad.

I love how @Cypress is unable to address his hatred of the environment with his constant use of AI.

Guess all MAGATs are alike, eh?

Sci-Phi: Science Fiction as Philosophy​

David Kyle Johnson, Professor of Philosophy, Kings College​

The science fiction genre has become increasingly influential in mainstream popular culture, evolving into one of the most engaging storytelling tools we use to think about technology and consider the shape of the future. Along the way, it has also become one of the major lenses we use to explore important philosophical questions.

The origins of science fiction are most often thought to trace to Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein, a story born from a night of spooky tale-telling by the fireside that explores scientific, moral, and ethical questions that were of great concern in the 19th century—and that continue to resonate today. And, although novels and short stories built the foundations of science fiction, film and television have emerged as equally powerful, experimental, and enjoyable ways to experience the genre. Even as far back as the silent era, films like Fritz Lang’s Metropolis have used science fiction to tell stories that explore many facets of human experience.

Perry PhD is a cowardly piece of shit who begged and begged Damo to put both you and me on forced ignore. Until he apologizes, he'll never be a man and best ignored until he disappears into obscurity with the other losers.

Let's consider your denial of the Bible.

You can learn it contents by reading it, by lecture, by documentaries and other videos, by taking classes, or listening to so-called 'experts'.
But you deny the Bible!

This thread is about a movie, it's not about Bible thumpers.

Wow. As per usual Cy is amped up. Someone (me) questioned his intelligence and now he's going to go into full WIKIPEDIA SCHOLAR mode and he's going to inundate me with the WORDS OF OTHER PEOPLE.

Yes, you are exactly as smart as David Kyle Johnson, Professor of PHILOSOPHY, KINGS COLLEGE.

OMG, Cy, I didn't realize you had access to Dr. David Kyle Johnson, Professor of PHILOSOPHY! Why didn't you tell me you had seen his name???

 

[murph63]

This thread is about a movie, it's not about Bible thumpers.

It's about symbolism, you fuckwit. And your type of arrogant ignorance and reliance on AI is exactly how one ends up with a MATRIX in the first place.

You are the problem, moron.

It's remarkable how many sock puppet accounts he creates just to lurk my threads!

Ohhhh, widdle Doc. Why don't you scream PENIS at me like you usually do?

Feewing down today? Did you have another near-"Death" experience?

 

[Cypress]

Wow!

This thread is about the intersection of science fiction, the human experience, and philosophy. You're just now realizing that? You are pretty slow and dull witted, aren't you.

 

[murph63]

It's remarkable how many sock puppet accounts he creates just to lurk my threads!

And yet you can't NOT engage with my points. I scare you because I (1) know more than you AND (2) know what you area

Yeah, like your use of AI to generate a horrible world.

Exactly like the movie you are blathering about. You are so "smart" you don't even see you are MAKING THE MATRIX you fuckwit.

 

[murph63]

@Cypress is more scared of me than anything else on this forum. Just LOOK how he SCREAMS his way over to AI to address my points in a vain attempt to make himself look smarter.

Meanwhile he's DESTROYING THE ENVIRONMENT FOR HIS OWN EGO-DICK.

(Which Doc then rubs)

 

[Cypress]

It's about symbolism, you fuckwit!
You are the problem, moron!

Massively triggered! ​

 

[murph63]

Massively triggered! ​

Fuck yes I'm triggered. I care about the Climate you MAGAT!

 

[murph63]

@Cypress doesn't believe in climate change apparently. It's why he relies on AI so much.

Tsk tsk tsk.

 

[Cypress]

Fuck yes I'm triggered!

Did your psychiatrist give you medication to cope with that?

 

[murph63]

Why do @Cypress and @Dutch Uncle doubt the science of climate change???? It's incontrovertible but clearly they would rather create a MATRIX-like hellscape to serve their massive egos

AND THAT IS THE PHILOSOPHICAL UNDERPINNINGS OF ALL DYSTOPIAN SCI-FI.

There you go, Cy. I solved the thread for you. Used your own ignorance and ego. Thanks for the stellar example of what the Matrix is all about.

 

[murph63]

Did your psychiatrist give you medication to cope with that?

Wow. So you DO think climate change is a hoax. WOW.

Frankly, Cy, I'm surprised. Well, I shouldn't be. You lie about everything, I'm sure you'll lie about this as well. But your posts and your actions speak louder.

 

[Cypress]

Thanks for the stellar example of what the Matrix is all about.

Just think how much science, philosophy, history, religion you have learned by lurking and stalking my threads for three years under your collection of sock puppets.
