We're born into a world where, you've no choice but to work for Money, without which you will not have access to anything!. (And, of course, pay Taxes!. )
Is this possibly the real 'Matrix'!? Our enslavement and dependence on money, without which we actually cannot live!. Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: no currency and taxation are concrete social evolutionary advances which you have, most cheekily, deliberately and knowingly mischaracterised as regressive!. We do create a prison we cant or touch or fell for our minds - it is called the hypperreal!. Everything you know is wrong, but what you are told is far further from the truth! Hyperreality characterizes the inability of consciousness to distinguish reality from fantasy, especially in technologically advanced postmodern cultures it characterises the way consciousness defines what is actually "real" in a world where a various media radically shape and filter the original event or experience being depicted!. in a world where we worship and seek the seek the truth we are blisfully unaware that almost no-one knows it!. sensed information we all must filter in order to understand and even that filtering will never provide us with 'absolute' truth but at least it is primary what we commonly ignore as irrelevant to our detriment is the difference between our single filtered reality and our multi-filtered recieved environment!. much abuse of our priorities goes on in the space between these levels - we are living hyperreally - we are fobbed off for ulterior purposes with an "authentic fake" You are ulimately correct to be searching for it as our matrix is here already! We don't dream the dream ourselves - we now are consumers of a fake one!. We seek truth, know little of it, are constandty misdirected, and blissfully unaware of that!. in this knowledge i now seek quality not truth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com No, money is just a medium of exchange!. Though for a few people money is not their servant it is their master!. Working for reward (money) is not enslavement!. Working as a salve is enslavement!. If you are implying that we are living in Matrix type world then there must be something underlying it!. Another layer of reality we may only dimly glimpse if at all!. What would that be!? A world without money!? Well physical money is on the verge of being superseded!. However the principle of money is in no danger of going away anytime soon!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I have thought of this myself, how today's world works, and things of that sort!. And you have a valid point!. Why do we depend on money in the first place!? Our entire lives are based on it, completely!. We go to school to get an education, in order to get a job to: make money!. This could actually be part of the Matrix!. I have actually joined the religion "Matrixism" because I too question the modern world, wondering about such things!. You should look into it, if you have questions (but no pressure :P )Www@QuestionHome@Com The matrix could be the socio-cultural, and economic capitalist power structure, where you aren't so much educated as programed!. just a thoughtWww@QuestionHome@Com I can't live in a world without the singer Pink, money is overrated anyway!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
