The path of enlightenment is not found through high budget action films!
Or is it?

no, but it's a start, damn you!
like I said, it's very loosely based on The Matrix.

i have heard one to many times that my philosophy comes fom the matrix when it predates it for i have always beleived in mind over body, the mind is more powerful than the body and can beter control its working and what it feels, the matrix esentially made peopel think my philosophy was movie based and pissed me off because it was worthless

geez, hey no problem. but give 'er a gander anyways. there's not too much actual Matrix reference in the site, and we don't discriminate. I had the same basic idea long before The Matrix debuted.

Och those people are stupid ignore them...but it pissed you off because what was worthless, the movie or the philosophy? I wouldnae say the movie was any more worthless that any other movie...movies that go into interesting philisophical ideas are a rather nifty. Making a movie about a philosophy or idea doesnae make the idea worthless just cliche

We DO discriminate!
I'd rather hear philosophy from the Persian immigrant running the hot dog cart

Just ignoring something does not make it go away. Like my socks...I can prentend they are not there and ignore how they feel...but they are still there biting my feet...my mind may not be focused on them but my nerves still feel them.
