| Posted 7/1/2003 2:41 AM (GMT -6) | | Matrix Monday was a BLAST. Moving beyond "telling yourself the truth" was one of the best parts, VERY helpful.
Unfortunately, when I get that charged up in the evening, I can't get to sleep until late (pillow talk with the wife) and Mondo Monday turns into Tired Tuesday.

| Posted 7/1/2003 9:35 AM (GMT -6) | | So share. What no one took notes during the talk? I was in Cape Cod at the time and am at Coon Rapids right now, where I'll be staying until the 22nd of July for the most part because I accidentally left my drivers license in Mexico.

Prayer from Kenya
From the Cowardice that dare not face new truth,
From the Laziness that is contented with half-truth,
From the Arrogance that thinks it knows all truth,
Lord Deliver Me.

Quick bits: A philospher argues that it is very possible we are currently living in a Matrix-type simulation right now.
Another suggests "ethics" for operating in a Matrix environment. Specifically, we have to keep our lives interesting so the Watchers don't pull the plug.
Finally, the author reminds readers of the doomsday argument: that it's unlikely we would be alive now if large numbers of humans existed in the future. Maybe there's an apologetics argument to be had: the fact that Future Humans haven't wiped out humans today is an argument for the existence of God.

| Posted 7/10/2003 6:40 AM (GMT -6) | | I already know that Mexico is part of the matrix on account of the fact every time I go to see a movie, I end up seeing almost the same set of commercials before hand, with a commercial about how terrible it would be if there is only one bottle of coca-cola left in the world. A couple of firms own almost all of the movie theaters in MX.

Is this assuming time travel is possible? I used to really love sci-fi and time travel type movies, until I actually took astronomy in college and found out time travel was a sheer impossibility. All that exists is now.
