Thoughts

Zombies? Perhaps…

~ MKW Publishing ~ 5 Comments

Prepped for it, exposed to the ideas of it and potentially waiting for it. Gen X are the ones in line for this I feel, and possibly quite a few of Gen Y as well. And I wondered why. Why the need to have it as a mainstream idea, they are not without uses and this one has been carried forward like a security blanket. As if the idea of an outbreak leading to a zombie apocalypse has been so thought through and expected, that it can’t be let go of. And I’m sure the idea of it may seem silly to some who have not considered it, but to a certain group of people, or section of society should I say, I suspect they know precisely what I am talking about.

I have already given a brief overview of my thought in The Zombie Thing article, and touched upon the idea of the dead coming back in The dead walk the earth, but could it be that it was never meant to be that way. The idea of it was. People fear people, that’s no secret, but the idea of people being turned or mutating into the very worst version of a human is one of our deepest fears perhaps. The number of humanoid monsters and demons that are depicted in movies and films is like that for a reason, because we can identify with it, however horrible it is. And that is what makes it even scarier, seeing part of you in it, and it in you.

But what if they pre-program us to behave in that way when faced with what appears to be a similar scenario. There seems something familiar about it, so we do what makes us feel most comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. If we remember ‘seeing’ someone else react a certain way, even if only on the television, it is still a reference of experience, or at least our brain may treat it as such. Two things spring to mind, even if only a loose connection to what I mean. Firstly, a Derren Brown trick in one his tv series years ago, where a chap was playing a zombie video arcade game, and then he was ‘hypnotised’ by Derren to think it was happening. Add in some actors in make-up, lighting and everyone else playing along, and he thought it was real. Even without being hypnotised, just having actors, make up and scenery can do the job tricking our mind into believing that is our reality at that moment. We have two processing centres in our brain (they say), called primary processing centre, which obviously acts as the first response. Followed by the secondary processing system, which then takes over after the initial reaction to review it and make sure it was appropriate. But as we know, in a split-second life or death decision making situation, you will have to reply on the primary response centre. Whatever information it is accessing for that moment is what you will have to go with, so if you don’t have very good reasoning skills or reactions on the spot, you will fail. No pressure or anything.

The second thing that came to mind, in two parts, or rather two things rolled into one. A company started doing zombie simulation ‘games’. Where you had an area, actors pretending to be zombies, and the thrill ride of pretending the outbreak was happening but in safety and a big comfort zone. The other tie in being the film The Fifth Wave – whereby they fool children into thinking there are aliens/infected that have to be killed – but really they are other humans. We appear to have a bulk of crisis actors across the board today, and although it might seem far-fetched to think we could actually have a zombie virus outbreak. I sure as hell believe they could easily fake one. As has been done with so many other situation, scenarios and events.

But that does not mean to say the time was wasted or misspent, there may well be a time coming where we have to consider if our fellow man is really so, and that something dark does indeed lurk and dwell in this realm. You never know when there may come a time for all that training and thought to be put to good use…

There Was Always Going To Be Two

~ MKW Publishing ~ 6 Comments

It was always going to be this way it seems, where society splits into two factions (at a minimum). The empire and the rebellion, for a dramatic portrayal. I wonder whether that’s why they were so keen to get everyone on board with their ‘health program’, and now seem intent on a follow through ‘digital program’ to get everyone trapped into their version of society. To make us play along with their rather grand delusion of controlling everyone by way of technology. Integrating us with their systems, building them around us.

Through my usual way of listing films, I will show how it was always going to be this way. Us and them.

Star Wars – The Empire and The Rebellion, a constant battle between light and dark, and a good motivator for some. If you are one of those people, you know what I mean.

Bladerunner – against a corporation, as is the theme for many a film (Resident Evil, Total Recall, Eagle Eye, Die Hard etc), but what struck me about the film, is that although it was about a future with synthetic humans, everything else seemed to be run down. As if they deliberately held down the rest of society to be the most powerful. Obvious, but it still impressed upon me.

Alita – a recent film, but one which is very clear about you down there, and them up there. People fighting each other and desperate to have a chance to be like them. It’s an odd movie, and quite sad really.

Elysium – Similar theme to the above, a better world hovering just above you, you can see it, but you can’t go there. They have everything you don’t, and again people’s lives are based around trying to attain what they are excluded from, for no reason other than manufactured reasons by way of design. Another sad film.

The Matrix – very us and them, from early on. Against the machines generally, but by way of a percieved threat while in the mainframe. Hunted by the agents, and inevitability, of course.

Demolition Man – a great example (albeit a slightly cheesy one) of people taking over, and deciding what is right, and best, and safe for everyone. Forcing people who do not fit into the plan to live in sewers. I saw that as a very clear sign of just how extreme it could get, under the guise of ‘for everyone’s good’.

Oblivion – slightly different because the movie switches halfway through, it is us and them, but not who you think. And they have a cunning use of exclusion areas due to ‘radiation zones’ leading to the lie being continued.

Logans Run – this film is a bit further along in the split of society, with almost no-one left on the outside, but one man. Peter Ustinov playing a wonderful role, but showing how quickly it can change and disappear. The people who have been living in a domed city have no idea about outside and what the world once was, instead being kept in a controlled environment with a maximum age allowed of 30 years old. The Island (2005) has similar undertones to it, but is a much darker view of what people may be kept and bred separately for.

There are plenty of unhinged people with disturbing ideas out there, and most of them are of no concern to anyone and go about their day keeping their unsettling thoughts and ideas to themselves. But it is when someone of that ilk decides to step out of their head and enact those thoughts, then we have a problem. As well we should. Things don’t just happen instantly or by accident it seems, they are engineered and are occurring over a period of time, with very clear markers of concern that should be recognised and acknowledged. We may not know what to do about what is coming, but we don’t need to deny it’s there, or agree to be part of it. Some may think that if they go along with it now, it will be easier for them later, having already been well groomed for a points-based scoring system. Incentives and rewards are how it starts, then the requests become more unreasonable and will always descend into demands and punishment if you don’t. Same shit, different day.

A little bit of privacy

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

I gave it thought after explaining what privacy meant in childhood for me. It was limited and coveted, and I snatched it up where I could.

If you grew up with siblings, you might remember mornings being noisy, and hectic. Sleepy and having to get ready for school. The journey to which being noisy and busy, either walking or on the bus. Then you get to school, surrounded by lots of people, maybe you get a few minutes to yourself in the toilet or at break, but not often. There was stuff to talk about, and things to do before you had to go back to the confinement of the classroom.

After a long day of constant people and learning, back home again to then do the domestic routine. Getting to be able to go out after school used to be time to unwind. Even though usually spent with friends, it didn’t seem as demanding. Just relaxing and checking things out or being silly. Weekends and school holidays used to be the best for knowing you didn’t have that stupid daily bind. And if you were able to be out of the house, it was great. No-one knew where you were, what you were doing. It was nice, as is the nostalgic thought of it, because I enjoyed those moments then as I do now. My mother wanted to know what I was always up to, and I had an older sibling who was not my ally. And as you learn along the way, some ‘friends’ can’t be trusted either. So, trying to find a bit of peace in yourself in your own time can be a full-time job sometimes. I guess that’s why it seems that privacy and freedom go hand in hand.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t ever go away just because you get older. It turns into employment instead of education, where you still have a schedule and it needs to be maintained. It can be the same for people who chose to stay at home and bring up the kids rather than employment (or insanely juggle both). I realise the need for just five minutes on your own sometimes is necessary for everyone. Especially if you spend a lot of time around people, not everyone understands how draining it can be. Even if it’s your nearest and dearest. (The funny videos on the internet showing this by way of a closed bathroom door and a horde of animals and kids outside waiting). And now there is a new world of busy without even leaving your house or being in the company of anyone, you have The Internet. Where you can feel surrounded and drained without physically being around people at all, it’s an odd thing really. That we allow the perception of it being real, and that they are people we are engaging with, therefore use real emotions and time to deal with it. Maybe that’s why we have so many bots taking up people’s time and stirring the pot perhaps – if that is the case. To take that energy that people freely give and leave them drained and unsatisfied. Not just the fake profiles, real people can do it too, strange though that so many allow it from people who aren’t anywhere near them, or anything to do with them, or who aren’t even people.

Maybe it’s been with us now for so long, the internet, that people don’t understand what privacy and time to yourself is anymore, that it has lost its meaning. Or for some, perhaps they were never comfortable with just their own company, so the idea that they can be ‘with people’ all the time is better for them, which is why they do not complain about the digital society taking over every aspect of life. They welcome it because it gives them a feeling of security, where the previous society caused them anxiety and uncertainty. The digital one appears to offer a friendly network of life and opportunity, people and virtual experiences. Where they will monitor you to tailor everything to you, making it seem as if you are important. And you are, in coding and for numbers only. They need a certain number of ‘players’ to make it work, and see it through to conclusion, and so far, unfortunately, there seems to be lots of willing bodies happy to oblige them. But what of the ones who do not wish to play the game, to insert ourselves into this buckled mainframe and help to create their fantasy illusion of omnipotent overseer. Like skynet, but with a face. I guess we have to see what happens next and how they plan to target the remaining freedoms we have, and those who choose to stand up for them…

Farmer vs Pharma

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

The attack on farmers continues, and how our food is produced, transported, sold and consumed. All neatly tied up by rules, regulations, quotas and targets. Under the guise of ‘for the planets health’ because, you know, they’ve already used it towards people and too many lapped it up. Imagine handing someone a strait-jacket and they put it on themselves and let you tie it up. That’s what’s happening here.

It’s a slow strangulation of resources and current sustainability. Lots of people have noticed, and aren’t having it, and rightly so. Covered previously in It seems an attack, Because from what they seem to be trying to roll out is worse, won’t work and will ruin the systems and land already in place. Which is the point. Farmland being appropriated for other use, orders for rewilding and paid culls on the horizon. Mysterious fires of wheat fields, food processing plants and no doubt they will declare more animal-based infections and cull loads more. It takes out a huge part of the food chain we rely on, while they simultaneously stop processes in other areas. They will have their own islands, areas and compounds where everything is just fine. But for everyone else, they want to upset the applecart.

And while they slowly try to remove the word, livelihood and previous terms associated with farmer, it gets replaced with a new ‘feeder’. Big pharma, wanting to pump you full of chemical food, needing medications to survive and for them to be the new cradle to grave overseer. So far, they have just been the nanny for a few decades (like the one in The Hand that Rocks the Cradle), quietly assisting and watching, waiting. Now making their move, when ‘suddenly’ there is a huge need for pharmaceutical intervention with lots of adverse reactions to the recent trials on the mostly unsuspecting populations in various countries.

But it seems a small chance of hope is spreading, farmers are following the initial lead of the truckers and trying to fight back by way of protest. All the industries as we know them will be obsolete if they have their way. Just robots doing everything with minimal people contact and interaction. Or at least that’s the picture they paint of what they are shooting for. There appears little or no room for normal everyday people just getting on with their lives in their vision, so it should be a concern for everyone where this is all going. Because it doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere good…

The Ministry of Monitoring

~ MKW Publishing ~ 9 Comments

A further look at the way our digital prison is trying to encircle us. Covered already in previous articles, but as it continues, so does the observation of it.

Cash

Monitoring

Do you want to be monitored?

Cash buys freedom

This is an updated look, seen as things are still moving along at quite a pace. New staffless shops being revealed, robots in place of people in factories, robotic dogs shown marching in formation, some with weapons loaded on them. You know, all totally normal for a harmonious ordinary functioning society. But today I have read through a few comments of the reality for some starting to hit home, women in particular after a certain move by a certain social media company a few weeks ago in the states. Showing people what the consequences are of sharing very personal information online, and giving rise to finally understanding that ‘private messages’ are only so to a point. Imagine someone being able to eavesdrop on every conversation you have ever had, and were ever going to have, omnipotence of a godly nature hanging over you. Many are close to it, as they share most of their lives online, publicly and privately, but when it’s all online, maybe there is no difference in the two.

With microphones in telephones and TV’s, they don’t even need to bug people’s homes anymore. We invited the devil in ourselves, paid for it, gave our time to it, and still do. The saying ‘you have nothing to fear, if you have nothing to hide’ is apt here, or would have been if the game was fair. Alas, it isn’t. Or they would have cracked down and stopped all the nefarious online activities that flourished as they were given free reign. Now being used as a weapon against normality to monitor everyone, while still not curbing anything.

The latest move bringing charges in a home abortion case, using messages between a mother and daughter to prove something. Women have rightly pricked up their ears on this and have started to think it through. Whether the girl was right or wrong isn’t the issue, it’s about privacy. Why people had apps to monitor their cycle is beyond me, I didn’t even like having a calorie app for a day for the idea that it was then recorded somewhere. By who? For what? No need. Population, pregnancy and the future of humanity have featured in many a storyline and I wonder sometimes if it’s a head up, speculated upon in They Tell Us.

But it really does seem as though they want to know what you think, what you eat, what you feel, where you go, when you travel, where you travel, who you talk to, what you say. They have access to most of that with lots of people, freely given to them on a daily basis, and that wouldn’t be an issue ordinarily. Like people said, ‘I’m very boring, why would they want to monitor me?’. And that is right, and monitoring all by itself wasn’t important, yet the overall point of what it leads to was for me. Why do they want all that info? In my mind, it would lead to being able to control those things. And here we are. Because while it wasn’t so much an issue before, now it is. Because they want to decide things about you and for you (and those around you), based on that monitoring.

There is also a big push and lots of restructuring going on around medicine. They want that all online too. Monitored appointments, checked and reviewed, doctors and patients alike will feel the scrutiny. This is where the idea that they are implanting digital tracers in people would come into play. They could monitor your heartbeat, circulation, location, intake of calories etc all from an internal sensor. They keep saying they want to integrate people with their phones, and they are already a beacon on us. Once fully integrated, we will be the data. They make no secret of that being a goal. To augment humans and machine to create something weird and seemingly not necessary. But as history and the present shows us, just because we can, does not mean we should…

Cities in the Sky

~ MKW Publishing ~ 3 Comments

It turns out, there have been many instances of cities in the sky, or fata morgana as they have been named. I only knew on one in China a few years back, but seems there have been others. Charles Fort collected a number of tales as below and detailed in his book New Lands.

In October of 1796 a mirage of a walled town had been seen distinctly for half an hour at Yougal in Ireland. Again upon March 9th 1797 in Yougal had been seen a mirage of a walled town.

In June of 1801 a mirage of an unknown city, It was seen for more than an hour. A representation of mansions surrounded by shrubbery, with forests behind.

October 10th 1881 that at Rugenwalde, Pomerania now Poland and Germany the mirage of a village had been seen in the sky, Snow covered roofs from which hung icicles.

On June 29th 1882 over lake Orsa in Sweden, representations of steam ships had been seen in the sky, and an island covered with vegetation.

March 12th 1890 at 4pm in the sky of Ashland, Ohio was seen a representation of a large unknown city.

Early in June 1897 in the Yukon in Alaska, A city had been seen in the sky, The description of this city is that it looked like some immense city from the ancient past.

On Feb 17th 1901 it is said Indians of Alaska had told of the occasional appearance of city, appearing suspended in the sky, description by visitors to this area, we could see plainly houses, well defined streets, here and there rose tall spires over huge buildings, which appeared to be ancient mosques and cathedrals. More like an ancient European city.

August 2nd 1908 at Ballyconneely on the coast of Ireland, was seen a phantom city, of different sized houses, in different styles of architecture, visible for over 3 hours.

And in 2015 there was a sighting and video footage in China of one.

Hard to know for sure what is going on up there, but interesting none-the-less.

Myths, Monsters and Legends

~ MKW Publishing ~ 10 Comments

I was bound to get round to an article of this nature eventually. I have been mulling over myths, monsters and legends for over 30 years now. And although having previously accepted that these things were fantasy and fictional, rational thought and more research has now made me rethink that presumption. I’ll mention a few and how they fit into today’s landscape for me.

Giants and titans – we have had stories and tales of giants for our entire history. The book of Genesis mentions them, all old stories and legends have them at some point, and we even have modern tales of them. But what if they were real? Giant trees and other huge animals show there has been a time before of a greater size than now. Jack and the beanstalk spring to mind here. There have been whispers and stories of a land above ours, as well as below, so could it be that they were or are on land, just not the one we inhabit?

Olympics, gods and competition – they say we are made in gods image and compete to be the best. But what if we aren’t the best that’s ever been. We just try to emulate and replicate it as best we know how. We try to be the strongest, fastest, jump the highest, but only a much smaller scale than once was. Maybe.

Leviathan, mermaids, cracken – monsters and mysteries of the oceans have always been with us as long as we have been seafaring I should imagine. But where did they start? Did we have gigantic ‘monsters’ lurking in the depths of the seas? Could it be that from those strange times and great upheavals of the past there were things different from us as we know ourselves now. But maybe we were different back then too.

Vampires – it’s no secret we have historical references throughout most cultures to blood sacrifices or drinking blood. But is there any truth in it? There’s talk of young blood rejuvenating older people in mainstream articles now, so it’s not something they are trying to hide. All the movies and books of that nature had to be prepping us for something didn’t they?

Odin, Middle earth, Ragnarök – this one is interesting to me as it seems to overlap with the giants, and involves an end of days event which hold some weight to our current path in time. They have a land in their legends called Niflheim during a period called the Great Void (there is the word ‘great’ again, possibly a marker as I suspect in my previous article, There’s nothing great about it. But the word is awfully close to Nephilim, a giant race from Enoch’s time and a cross between the fallen angels and humankind. Funny how it starts to weave in to other things, or you realise where those other legends and tales may have come from.

We often dwell in the past, and for certain things, I think it is necessary and can help you to understand where we are and where this is all going…

The Weather

~ MKW Publishing ~ 9 Comments

I am going to talk about clouds. Specifically what has become known as chemtrails. I personally don’t remember seeing very straight lines like this 20 or 30 years ago, despite spending lots of time outdoors, looking at the sky and being interested in meteorology. I liked hurricanes, lightning, weather patterns and topography, just for fun. Learning the names of the types of clouds as best I could and taking pictures of them once I got into photography.

Now there seems to be an awful lot of lines. Like spiderwebs in the sky. And others have noticed and think it is of note, as have I. However, there seems to be a lot of ridicule placed upon those who would question this. Its not really so outrageous to think that the government would spray something dangerous into the atmosphere. They have done it before.

Cadmium spraying in 1950’s UK

With Porton Down becoming a well know site for running these ‘experiments’ on the unsuspecting British public.

The Past Porton Down Can’t Hide

Over the years they have done various things and created technologies to ‘assist’ they say. There is a system called HAARP for auroral research, and various patents involving weather modification technology. Spain admitted to changing the weather in 2015 to stop rain, China cloud seeded to keep the weather clear for the Olympics they say, causing huge flooding in Nepal. Tasmania even did some, just before a storm – although they say it had no effect. The question was asked though, why would you try and make rain clouds, just before a huge rainstorm had already been forecast? Yet people are seen as crazy for seeing that as enough of a pattern to question things and remain suspicious. Especially when they appear to be using every bit of weather for the purposes of shouting climate change, it seems even more reason to question.

Of course, it may well be nothing, and they are just normal clouds. But when the unelected meddlers start talking of chalking out the sun, or putting huge reflectors or bubbles into space to block out the full rays, you have to wonder. Don’t you?

All this haze and lines, not every day, but that almost makes it weirder. Same conditions, same flight paths (mostly) yet not same result. That’s the only reason I question it. And no I don’t know the full atmospheric conditions or height and distance of the aircraft when they are passing. But something isn’t right, and I will continue to review it and question it as needed.

The accidential traveller

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

It seems that the world is intent on splitting up after years of apparently trying to come together. Despite their call for a one world government and unified global project, they seem to do the opposite of what they say, so could they really be looking to divide it up instead? Under the guise of climate change currently, but first it was the ‘pandemic’ that threatened to cut us all off, but it didn’t quite work out that way for all, but some countries still are following that MO (Canada and New Zealand). But there is much emphasis now being put on travel. The fuel, the emissions, the cost, to the planet apparently. Yet it seems rather clear and hypocritical that most (if not all) of the unhinged people shouting for it, travel the most and in the most elaborate fashion. The latest funny article being that the people who recently heckled a political event, have extensive travel pictures splashed all over their social media pages. As long as people are aware that ‘activists’ usually have an agenda as ridiculous as the people they claim to be fighting then you know to ignore them too. Two sides of the same coin.

But for some, travelling is a lifestyle, or a dream they look forward to, and one that is being used as a weapon against them, dangled as a carrot or treated as a special privilege. I knew they would do it quite some time ago, not how they would enact it, but that they would slowly restrict what you enjoy doing. Whatever that is. I was wrong about one thing though; they didn’t do it slowly. They took away everything all at once, and then drip fed it back. I had thought that bit through, and decided if you take certain things away from yourself, then they don’t get to do it, or control if you want it or not. Not everyone saw that coming, or wanted to believe the government would turn into the most overbearing, controlling and psychologically manipulative parent type. I guess if you have actually had a parent like that, it makes the signs easier to spot, even if the entity is a large corporation rather than an individual.

Travelling for now though is the main focus of control, major disruptions at big airports in various countries, some places doing testing, some places not having enough staff (remember they sacked loads for not complying). Canada being the first to demand an app be downloaded and used for entry, with a $6000 fine if you don’t comply, because you know, it’s for your health. They are so desperate to get everyone hooked up to a digital central system by way of health, food, finance, education, leisure etc and are actually like petulant children when it doesn’t go their way. You must stop travelling, you must eat bugs, you breath too much air and on and on. Except not for all though, is it? It has caught everybody’s attention that people are flooding in in to the UK via a small strip of water between us and France, and the US has an issue at the Mexican border apparently. These people appear to not be under the same laws, rules and regulations as everyone else, being allowed to just walk into a country and get given a new life at the expense of the people already there. It’s becoming very strange and the only logical conclusion appears to be a displacement of the current population, right under their noses. But I still feel that these newcomers have walked straight into a trap though, and that feeling I cannot shake.

The establishment do seem rather taken with the idea of that central system and point of all information though. Potentially they tried through the medium of ‘healthcare’ to get everyone on board. If they could have convinced everyone to get the jab, and download the app, job done. But they didn’t. So, is this just phase 2 of the plan, or a different approach? They still won’t get everyone though via travel abroad, as not everyone does it, and domestic travel would still not get everyone. So, is it really that are after in their end goal? Seems not. Or maybe they can manage with only a certain percentage hooked up. Every angle that appears has holes in it, and could be the sign of a plan that really isn’t in the bag and doesn’t have an end goal now because it’s got so messy. Or, it’s meant to appear that way and is part of the plan. Either way, all options need to be considered simultaneously until the truth is known.

I have no desire to travel whatsoever, although I have been lucky enough in my life to travel to a number of places, and live abroad a few times as well. Being somewhere else can be lovely, getting there is not. And as I have gotten older, it has become apparent to me that I find it very stressful and don’t particularly want to do it. Not so great if you have a partner that likes to travel, but that’s the way it goes. The way they have messed with each country though recently, each in a different way and now are being super weird about travel generally, I should imagine it’s become a very stressful process for many, if not all. It’s strange watching it all change, knowing I have been to places like the US and Canada, visited various countries in Europe, been to an African country and spent many years just being interested in various other countries, people, their economies and practices. It’s easy to see they are shafting everyone. Each taking their turn to be paraded by MSM as the next country to ‘fall’ into disarray and turn on itself. But they aren’t, Sri-Lanka seems to be in the firing line at the moment, they are giving them the squeeze. Fertilizer bans, sky-high fuel prices, government collapses – and guess what, they just happened to be ready to roll out an app to help allocate fuel to the worthiest, which of course affects everyone. They want the scenes we get fed from China, of people waving their phones at booths, desperate to show they have a ‘green code’ so they are allowed to jump, when told how high.

Some of us knew though they would try and control everything through travel, and that is coming to pass. Air travel being made difficult and they will try and introduce more delays and problems. Personal travel seems to be high on the list of attack now, screwing over fuel prices, making owning a car harder, with the view to eventually just stop you owning a car. The articles on that have now begun, suggesting it’s private car ownership that is now causing global climate issues – yet they have various modes of transport as we know in their rich club, so this is another ruse to get us to jump through their hoops, and leave us stranded, literally. No fuel and cars, no free people movement. If you live far away from your family and like to visit them, I would have a rethink about where you need to be in the future, just in case things start shutting themselves off, like entire countries. The way they are splitting and crashing economies seems like we are being moved into position for a corporate raid. We’ll see if we can work around their insanity or out manoeuvre them when it comes to the crunch. It seems as if the wheels aren’t as firmly on as they thought, or the rogue element is more disruptive than predicted, there’s a strange journey ahead, we’d do best to buckle up as they say…

Sim City

~ MKW Publishing ~ 3 Comments

There is a growing consensus that the simulation hypothesis may not be as far-fetched as once some may have thought. The way being paved for this through various films and ideas and as we gather more information about the apparent world around us and the construct upon which we base our ‘reality’. So, in my usual way, I shall use a list of films to illustrate how reality can and is determined by what’s around you. And by changing or simulating a different environment, can thereby change your reality and perceptions towards it.

The Matrix – so far this film is kind of heralded as the top spot for simulation theory played out in visual terms. It’s easy to understand, requires very little thought and appears to cover all bases. It’s too slick but a good starting point to get familiar with the idea.

Dark City – for me this film covers all bases and is neatly complex, it’s got psychological, physical, mental, metaphysical aspects and more.

Logans Run – This is a strange film, and has all sorts of overtones and undertones. But their reality is dictated and controlled and is no longer questioned.

Ready player one – an entertaining and fun look at the idea of a metaverse where it caters to your every want. Unless your want is to be able to fit in to normal life. It’s about finding out who you are by thinking you need to be someone else. Done in the classic Spielberg 80’s style, which I can’t fault.

Free guy – a recent film and goes even further into the computer programs running in the simulation touched upon in matrix. The replication of agent Smith, the fear of deletion by others. But this takes it further and goes with AI becoming sentient. An awareness of the system and programming develops leading to an evolution of thought. It’s a fun film though too and I recommend it. Easy viewing with lots of thinking material.

The Truman Show – a simulation of reality to convince one person it is. Meant to be portrayed as a reality TV show, but it’s a pretend sheltered fabricated existence. Until the party subject to the manipulation and lies snaps and realises all is not what it seems.

Star Trek – Next Generation – Many episodes involving the holodeck and varying degrees of simulated reality, but episode 138 of the series is very interesting.

Updated: realised I forgot two that should be in this list. Tron and lawnmower man. Both of those where people become part of the program.

Also, popular now as well as ‘reality tv’ are games simulating things. The Sims being aptly named and encourages people to build their ideal setting and characters. Tying into the metaverse possibly as an end game, who knows.

So, where does the simulation end and reality begin? Or once you believe the simulation is real, does that make it real? Are they just perceptions or absolutes? That will remain to be seen.
