“if only we know where to look”
That’s always the problem. Where is the evidence beyond theoretical blabber?

"the why of the matrix was to get energy from humans was utterly and completely ridiculous" I agree. A better premise would have been that the humans had done something to make it very difficult for the machines to create other sentient machines and so they needed to tap the brain power of the humans to do the calculations necessary to find a way to get off the planet.
That would still be a stretch, but not quite as silly as humans as batteries.

” patterns in nature revealing an inherent, intentional model.”
Dude, it’s God doing that.
Get over it.
All roads lead to Rome, so speak - let’s give the amoral godless humanism a rest.

I think this theory is a bit more sophisticated than anything ever cooked up by a stoner:

The movies “The Thirteenth Floor” and “Dark City” are similar stories.

Let’s go back to 1967.

I’ve had several inconsistency experiences and several others where I felt “the program” was filling in logical gaps.

It’s real, and it’s spectacular!

" and one of them is now a trans sexual" I don't think it goes like this:
1. Tranny = warped mind
2. Therefore Matrix theory is warped
I think it goes more like this:
1. Tranny wishes it was born in another body
2. Tranny comes up with fantasy world where it could be in a totally different body
More wish fulfillment than anything else.
To: dennisw
The author seems to be a bit inconsistent in trying to make this argument.
Is the universe...
Scientists say our world....
Hard to debate a moving point.

Larry: [to Professor Jennings, while high] Okay. That means that our whole solar system could be, like one tiny atom in the fingernail of some other giant being. [Jennings nods] This is too much! That means one tiny atom in my fingernail could be--
Prof Jennings: Could be one little tiny universe.
Larry: Could I buy some pot from you?

If they end up in Hell, they might just think the beings running the simulation are even more horrible bastards than they originally thought.

Ah, but will we ever find out who put the ram in the rama- lama-ding-dong?

This really isn’t a new idea. Gnostics believed something like this (with a “demiurge” pulling the strings and running the “test”) about 1900 years ago

Yeah, I already heard about that nonsense in a movie called Animal House where Donald Sutherland was smoking dope and talking about a universe in your finger nail.

If this is true would the super intelligent beings consider it to be 2050?
