"The Matrix" (1999) -- 'Construct' Scenes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGZiLMGdCE0

Gasper Muhvic - 2020-02-04

When u said that if u turn around it doesn't exist and than it reloads when u turn back but if i use mirror i still see stuff behind me so its more likley that the world is loading around me and its possible if i go too fast world cloud not load

nacho73 - 2020-03-15

We have this [reality]. This world is a like a matrix. You can call this matrix reality as well. It is our known reality.

Here, things make sense like 1=1 and 0=0 and 0≠1 and 1 contains more "information"/ details than 0 namely 1=[1,0] while 0=[0] only.

But besides this [reality], things make sense but also don't. The entire system kinda breaks apart. Like 1 would equal to itself but also equal to 0 etc.. There wouldn't be any order or clarification. Things are and aren't and all that ain't but also is, too.

That second realm can only be understood here as a world of ideas, thoughts and imaginations in our minds. Here, it ain't more real in out of what can be put into that logical system of ideas what make sense. Any idea which makes sense can be put to our [1.reality] we know and builds up up to an idea which makes the least sense in out of an idea which makes no sense, namely nonsense and is outside of the first reality. So, it cannot be put here as a part of it.

Heath Mitchell - 2020-03-11

Autism isn’t bad though

The Black Hole - 2020-03-11

Heath Mitchell ANYTHING is bad in a large degree and ANYTHING is good to go in a small degree. With exceptions to a small variation of things, epilepsy, cancers, etc. The big psychological taboo used to be ADD even though a small degree of ADD is no more than the equivalent of a mildly short attention span. A large degree of ADD and the person can't even work at his job (too bored). Also in the primitive age the ADD were the strongest, they were the hunters. A lot of psychological "illnesses" are flat out made up and even up to contradict other presumed mental illnesses. Like I said before psychology is an illusion

What if Deja Vu is glitches in the system

Ubi Playz - 2020-03-06

If the pc had to simulate the entire universe, the Deja Vu glitch would be the tiniest glitch. A real glitch in the simulation would be that everything in the universe suddenly turned blue or something.

how about looking somewhere and taking a picture opposite your direction

LaserDisc - 2020-01-04

I've heard that if you ever feel a sense of Deja Vu, it means that you are in the right place at the right time. That you are doing the correct thing

REDPUMPERNICKEL - 2020-02-18

I rather suspect that the neural activity 'channel' that is processing current experience is leaking a copy of its 'signals' into a parallel channel such that, when both of these channels impinge simultaneously on our recognition systems, we experience an eerie 'sense' of recognition even though we know for sure that we've never been here before.
It's a glitch in the matrix all right but it's a glitch in the matrix of neurons which is our brains.
The Deja Vu phenomenon is peculiar but no more peculiar than dreams, just more rare. Dreams, wherein the unconscious sometimes projects a bent logic world onto the screen of a ghostly self which may be partly someone else and in which that self is horrified as it struggles desperately to steer a school bus with bungee cords from the back seat, or sometimes, more pleasantly, to maintain a levitated course over the town only to discover every willful effort to float higher sends one drifting down or makes a scene in which one sees one's father coming down the stairs so vivid there is no doubt one is awake but then one does awaken only to feel again the searing shock of loss when memory of his recent death returns.

Nature love - 2020-03-08

@REDPUMPERNICKEL u must be fun at parties

LaserDisc - 2020-03-21

@REDPUMPERNICKEL yea no haha

REDPUMPERNICKEL - 2020-03-21

@LaserDisc Do you know a theory with more explanatory power than the one I above proposed? At the risk of seeming like a mean kid (or, as they say these days, 'spoiler alert'), do you remember what it took to convince you that Santa Clause was not real? If you believe in fairies or souls or ghosts or angels or gods all you need to see through them is to apply whatever it is within you that convinced you of the sad truth about Santa.

Jack Bryan - 2019-08-05

We should make a law where our future selves cannot make a simulation so we’d end the infinite line of simulations

CrazyWaffle5150 - 2019-08-24

Won't work. Because the last world that simulated us could of made multiple simulations in their simulation.

Andrew G - 2019-11-04

i was the 1k like

thijs1200 - 2020-02-13

maby we are the sims

Rage Raptor - 2020-02-16

Agent Smith wouldn’t matter even if they did. The physics of the game don’t allow the characters to leave or materialize outside their existence so it’s impossible. And even if it were then wouldn’t that world your going to have a chance of being a simulation as well.

MEEHH 243 - 2020-03-01

the sims are programmed to never know they're sims????

Nltvp - 2020-03-12

Everything has rules and objectives. Therefore, life is a game.

Nature love - 2020-03-21

sWIfT - 2019-06-10

What if the limit is the speed of light because if you go past it, the simulation will lag?

Smellavision - 2020-02-13

what are chances the "real" world looks anything like our supposed virtual world? Maybe base reality looks nothing like what we experience.

Mr Ghost - 2019-12-01

You know when people say "If you die its game over" nah fam you either have 2 options you press the re-spawn button or exit game button

Troodon formosus - 2019-05-28

If we were simulated, the world would be run by EA, which is why we have to pay for just about everything in order to continue our quests.

Masculine Principles - 2019-12-29

Yea it's called taxes. 🤷🏾‍♂️👽🎰

Brian - 2019-12-29

Wow you’re on 2 something

Siggesatan - 2020-01-27

the irony is that in ancient Sumerian believes EA is another word for the Lord and our creator.
tough they never mention him as God, but an administrator
EA kind of phonetic similarity to YH the first letters in YHVA or Yehova and YH literarly translate to Lord in Hebrew.
now if you believe something and something else is the same well...
then again a word and the concept of it that only truly define it self with in it self or a singularity would defy that.
that's one theory why people that believe in God say don't take the word God in vain.
it would be blasphemous toward the believers.
example: God is (put in random word here) either it is positive or negative you either try to reduce God in to be less. or improve him some how stating that what he is isn't enough.
that would be taking the name or singularity concept of God in vain.
the text tells God is only explained in the singularity concept of God. thus make an uncontested singularity truth in the rule of sovereign government of our reality!
there is only one God and that God is God

Kyle Hill - 2020-01-29

The stages of Simulation
What you see before you were born: Loading Terrain...
When you die: You take off your VR and see scientists walking around
You walk to the exit and get your VR on; It restarts over and over

Yeah, we’re in God’s simulation

Yass Panda25 - 2019-08-01

What if we die, we lose the game? And we remember that we're just playing a completely immersive simulation immediately afterwards. You know, like Roy in Rick & Morty.

REDPUMPERNICKEL - 2020-03-07

Imagine for a moment that you are in a deep and dreamless slumber.
Do you see how, in that state, your self and the universe are non existent?
And then you awaken to discover that you and the universe are recreated.
Every morning provides this miracle and then one day you realize
that consciousness has made you and the universe,
that consciousness is the creator,
that consciousness is god!

Yes. They can materialize huge rare resources for you to get rich such as oil, diamonds and gold. You just need to know the cheat code for it.

I paused it, looked him in the eye and asked seriously "what if all of this is a simulation? You're a simulation, this table is a simulation, this office, this building - even me - is all just our perception of reality."


He told me that this was the third time he's caught me watching videos and I was fired. I knew it was a simulation so I just laughed and sat back down.


My boss still doesn't get it. He's sending the "simulated" security.

There is a mental condition called Depersonalisation/ Derealisation where the person that suffers from it is convinced they live in a simulation or in a dream and that the world around them is not real.
I had the condition myself (and still have it altough not as bad anymore) and it is the scariest thing I ever experienced.

hi - 2019-11-09

abhishek sharma yes or you feel like you are watching yourself from somewhere else

vidmario bros - 2019-11-17

Why is it terrifying I would imagine it either being really deppresing or sickening I dont mean to be rude in any way can you explain why depersonalization is terrifying?

Student Union - 2019-12-27

hi - 2019-12-28

vidmario bros feels very weird and is an anxiety disorder. It can / most likely triggers panic attacks. After a while you get used to them and they go. If you struggle with them think to yourself you want one to happen and learn to get comfortable them they go. Trust me ;)

vidmario bros - 2019-12-28

@hi aw thanks for that. I personally don't have it but I have experienced some weird things due to epirementing
