1 00:00:04,559 --> 00:05:30,600 Ss ss sssssssssss. Stand stand round to all right, what's up, yo, 2 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:36,639 yo yo. Welcome time to cover another Hollywood stream. We haven't done 3 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,759 Hollywood stream in a while. We did Pirates of the Caribbean. That was 4 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,879 a lot of fun. I did make a mistake. That happens once a 5 00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:49,680 year, Dad joke, write it down because it ain't gonna happen for another 6 00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:57,920 year. I made one mistake. I forgot that part four a Pirates of 7 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,120 Caribbean is about the Fountain of Youth, and we meant to go back and 8 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,600 rewatch all of them, but we didn't end up having time, so we 9 00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:12,800 only got through the first three and then four does contain the Fountain of Youth. 10 00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:16,120 And there's a sort of grail, almost a grail mythology, and they're 11 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:25,279 about eternal life. And I guess Captain Jack Sparrow got in Jack Sparrow am 12 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,920 I Brooke, And I guess he's eternal now because he drank. He drank 13 00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:34,000 from them Florida water fountains that we got that make you live forever, if 14 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:41,120 you would hit like and shared. Welcome tonight. We're gonna cover some movies. 15 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,199 We're not gonna do it we're gonna spend a little bit of time breaking 16 00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:48,879 down creator, since I did get to see it and it was everything that 17 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,759 I expected. In fact, on the way over there, I told Jamie 18 00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:56,759 exactly how it would go, and that's exactly what happened. I knew just 19 00:06:56,879 --> 00:07:02,959 from like thirty seconds of the trailer the entire movie, and so there will 20 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:11,199 be spoilers. But it's not that amazing of a movie. So there's a 21 00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:15,759 lot of critics that are promoting it, a lot of people talking, a 22 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,800 lot of jibber jabber going on about, oh, finally we've got a new 23 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:29,199 sci fi epic, and uh nah, it wasn't that good, very predictable. 24 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,319 But I also know some elements and some weird things that this movie didn't 25 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,519 talk that most people didn't talk about when they reviewed it or when they wrote 26 00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:42,759 about it, because I was looking at some reviews earlier. There is a 27 00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:49,920 lesser known Arthur C. Clark's story that I think influenced this buddhist Ish plot. 28 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,279 So we're gonna have when we get a creator will notice some platonic elements, 29 00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:01,399 gnostic elements, Buddhist elements all in one, and that'll be a fascinating, 30 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,920 deep dive. But first we're gonna talk about some of the other forgotten 31 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:13,560 Plato's allegory, the Cave, Gnostic Platonic messages in films. What are some 32 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,279 of the most platonic allegory of the cave films? This is its own kind 33 00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:20,000 of little genre. I've been meaning to do the stream for a long time. 34 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,839 We won't hit every one of them, but we'll hit some of the 35 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,639 key ones and some of the ones that are forgotten. Some of the Plato's 36 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,279 allegory the cave, the stories that you probably have seen or haven't seen. 37 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:39,480 A lot of reuse of this narrative. And not every sort of Platonic story 38 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,360 is identical to the Gnostic story. There's a lot of overlap. Let's give 39 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,799 a little bit of a caveat. I understand for the philosophy nerds out there 40 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:56,360 that Neoplatonism is not identical to Gnosticism, And I understand that Platonist wrote against 41 00:08:56,519 --> 00:09:01,840 Gnostics because he disagreed with the idea that the existing world was an evil trap. 42 00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:07,600 But he did think that the existing world was the lowest of the emanations 43 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,000 and that we needed to get out of this one and back to the original 44 00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:16,279 monad hinosis or to the original one, and so both of them share an 45 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:22,600 idea of a diminished status of the world that we inhabit. The difference being, 46 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,799 of course that Platonist doesn't think that our world, which is the lowest 47 00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:31,360 sort of emanation and as you scale your way back up the emanations to the 48 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,720 one to achieve perfect unity, doesn't think that ours is bad. It's just 49 00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:39,519 the lowest. But for the Gnostics, as you, I'm sure no, 50 00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:46,679 this world is a prison. Our bodies are prisons that are created by an 51 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:54,159 evil, bumbling, buffoonish, old crotchety ass man known as Yalda Baiof, 52 00:09:54,840 --> 00:10:01,159 the demi Urge or the Creator God. So just a brief refresher here. 53 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,879 Gnosticism comes from Gnosis having knowledge, and so their view is not really focused 54 00:10:05,919 --> 00:10:11,120 on morals and ethics. It's mainly about secret knowledge and so a lot of 55 00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:16,360 parallels to secret societies and gnosticism. Now, I've done lectures in the past 56 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:22,639 on the history of Gnostics stuff. We went into Iranaus's Against Heresies which was 57 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,600 one eighty a d. You can find an old lecture that I did through 58 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,120 Urinais and against Heresies, and I covered which you know the first two or 59 00:10:30,159 --> 00:10:35,320 three undred pages of Against Heresies is this deep dive into all the multitudinous gnostic 60 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:43,080 sects that existed in Iranaus's day. It's very dry, very boring, but 61 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,000 it's also a very bizarre at the same time, because there's so many of 62 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,559 these sects and he covers all of them in a wide swath of view. 63 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:58,000 Some of them more licentious in their living orgiastic, some of them more repressive 64 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:03,879 and ascetic, kind of a radical almost Brahminish yogi asceticism. So they're all 65 00:11:03,919 --> 00:11:07,279 kind of all over the board. But as the General Wiki introduction notes, 66 00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:13,519 their collection of religious ideas and systems that coalesced in late first century amongst Jewish 67 00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:20,320 and Christian sects. The various groups emphasize personal noses knowledge above the public Orthodox 68 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,960 proto Orthodox teachings, the traditions, and the authority of the institutional church. 69 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,720 Nastick causmogeny, that is, the where the universe came from and how that 70 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:39,159 came about generally presents a distinction between a supreme, hidden God and the malevolent, 71 00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:46,200 lesser deity usually associated with the Creator God of the Bible. This creator 72 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,840 God is responsible for the material universe, like we said, a prison. 73 00:11:50,279 --> 00:11:52,919 Again. You see then the soma same of the body as a prison, 74 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:58,919 as Plato said, some some parallels with Plato. Consequently, the Gnostics to 75 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,279 consider the material world flawed or evil, so evil gets substantial existence as matter 76 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,879 or the material prison world of time and space, which are these prisons? 77 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:15,480 The element and salvation essentially is that knowledge of the secret deity, of the 78 00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:22,720 secret the hidden God is attained through mystical esoteric insights that might come about through 79 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,080 drug use, It might come about through rituals. It might come about through 80 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:33,159 altered states of consciousness, through fasting, meditation, other sorts of weird practices. 81 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,240 Any of those might be the means by which the secret nosis comes about. 82 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:46,120 So there's no consistent there's not one type of Gnosticsism, and so it's 83 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,919 very relativistic. It's very all over the place, but one but the commonalities, 84 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,519 as we said, are escape from the material world, escape from the 85 00:12:54,559 --> 00:13:01,200 here and the now. It's a prison. The Bible is a secret code 86 00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:05,440 that you come up with all these wild meanings. For it's not anything to 87 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,240 do with a historical savior or the person of Christ. Rather, Jesus is 88 00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:16,279 a symbolic liberator figure. He liberates you from morals, from constraints, from 89 00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:18,840 the body, and from time and space, and then you get, you 90 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:24,240 know, the Pistus Sophia various nastic presentations where the story of the Bible is 91 00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:33,639 reinterpreted into this mystical cosmology of the feminine archetype making her way back to the 92 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:39,960 masculine archetype from which she's he's exiled from her. And so the the alchemical 93 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:45,679 idea of the masculine and feminine principles being reconciled oftentimes comes up in a lot 94 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,399 of this mythology. So we won't go into all the different types of groups. 95 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,240 There were the Valentinians, the Sethians, there were the Manicheans, the 96 00:13:54,279 --> 00:14:01,639 Mandeans. Many of these groups, as we said, even gave Satan himself 97 00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:09,559 a kind of honorific privileged status. Satan becomes a kind of liberator of man 98 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,360 in a lot of these views. So, by the way, if you 99 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,759 would support the show, hit the like and the share, and if you 100 00:14:15,799 --> 00:14:20,080 want to ask questions, you can support the live stream via the super chat 101 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,320 function, and super chats are available through stream labs right there. So that's 102 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:31,440 a gnosticism let's talk about some of the movies that are laden with this that 103 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,320 you may or may not remember, or may or may not have seen. 104 00:14:35,679 --> 00:14:39,960 So one of those the first one that comes to mind, and we'll do 105 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,799 a little bit of just kind of summarizing, because I know we have a 106 00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:48,000 lot of movie fans in this audience that have probably seen all these but there 107 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,440 might be people who have not seen some of these other ones. Right. 108 00:14:52,519 --> 00:14:56,799 I wanted to show the confession scene because that's one of the most profound scenes. 109 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,559 There was, of course, the comb pods scene, which I'm sure 110 00:15:00,559 --> 00:15:05,320 everybody remembers. There is a there is an amazing comb pod scene literally in 111 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:20,559 THX one one three eight. This is one of the earliest of I just 112 00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:31,320 went blank freaking Star Wars, Dorky Soil Wars George Lucas, one of George 113 00:15:31,399 --> 00:15:35,919 Lucas's earliest films. As of course, it's t h X one one three 114 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:41,840 eight. It is a really good film, but it's also pretty hoops. 115 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,360 I need to put that up higher so you guys can see the super chats. 116 00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:50,759 Let me move that up. Let see if I can make that happen 117 00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:58,080 again. Thank you for that. There we go. Now you're up on 118 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:03,200 the front where everbody can read you. But goat Mainge, goat Mange. 119 00:16:03,759 --> 00:16:11,360 That sounds freaking metal, dude, go mag that's a that's a death metal 120 00:16:11,399 --> 00:16:17,240 band if I've ever heard of one. Goat Mange. Goat Mange again. 121 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:22,600 Look at that. So te three eight Platonic allegory of the Cave story. 122 00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:25,879 Now, if you don't know the allegory the Cave, I'll tell you that 123 00:16:25,879 --> 00:16:30,080 really quickly, because again you're gonna notice it relates to playton to nastosism as 124 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,600 well and platos allegory. The Cave is a famous story that in summary, 125 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:42,360 we in this world inhabit a kind of prison structure. It's a it's like 126 00:16:42,519 --> 00:16:48,159 living inside of a cave, and we are chained to a kind of a 127 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:53,360 wall where we're forced to watch a play playing out. That is a bunch 128 00:16:53,399 --> 00:16:57,559 of shadows projected on a wall by a movie theater. Dude behind us, 129 00:16:57,559 --> 00:17:02,279 who's just up there playing with fire, and he's got fire and he's like 130 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,079 making puppets with the shadows. Can you see the shadows behind me? See 131 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,480 that behind me? So you're sitting there watching the shadows on the wall of 132 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,640 the cave, and you're entranced by the shadows. You're you think the shadows 133 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:19,200 are just the bees knees. You you love shadow play. That's your that's 134 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:25,200 your show, right, that's your programs. My stories and my programs. 135 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:30,119 I got to watch my stories. You watching them shadows stories, that's your 136 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:37,440 program like Netflix. So you're entranced by this. And the philosopher is the 137 00:17:37,559 --> 00:17:42,920 dude that has gone out of the cave and he's seen the actual source of 138 00:17:44,039 --> 00:17:47,200 light itself, which is the sun, because he walks outside of the cave 139 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,079 and he says, Hey, there's a whole world out here. There's the 140 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:56,359 reality of the things like the horses and the battles and the trees and the 141 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,319 shapes and the people. Right that you were watching the shadows of on the 142 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:07,799 cave. Those are the shadows that are the exemple the types of the anti 143 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:15,400 type, the prototype, which is the really existing thing upside outside upstairs, 144 00:18:15,519 --> 00:18:19,319 outside of the cave. Right, So you go outside of the cave, 145 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,880 you get up there and it's reality where the sun is. You've seen the 146 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,200 light itself. You've had a direct perception of the light, which is the 147 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,680 sun. And so when you go back down into the cave, as the 148 00:18:33,799 --> 00:18:38,000 enlightened philosopher. First thing you want to do is tell your buddies. Dude, 149 00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:44,759 y'all a bunch of uh you know, reddit men down here in the 150 00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:49,000 basement. Get off of the shadow play, get out of the basement. 151 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:57,440 Put down your cheeto fingers, you know, put down the hot pockets. 152 00:18:57,839 --> 00:19:04,400 Get outside, boy, fla boy, we're trailing in my rule fai. 153 00:19:04,519 --> 00:19:11,799 Boy, shout out to silver chair. Get outside. Five boys, you're 154 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:17,400 down here losing it in your mama's basement. Get outside, because then you'll 155 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,960 see the reality that's Plato's allegory, the cave. But then there's more to 156 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,720 the story, because when you start to tell everybody, you think, oh, 157 00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:29,920 everybody's gonna want to get out of the cave like me, And then 158 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,759 no, they love the cave. They love the lie, the deception, 159 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:41,319 the trickery, the illusion of the pseudo world that they're entranced with, of 160 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:48,599 the shadows. And so ultimately the philosopher, as the enlightener or the attempted 161 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:56,240 enlightener, gets punished stone that man because he's trying to take away our cave 162 00:19:56,319 --> 00:20:04,640 pod. I'm cave potting right, trying to tell you to get out there 163 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:11,359 and get the real thing ain't nothing like the real thing? He whose things 164 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:21,599 that I don't even know ain't nothing like the real thing. Baby. That's 165 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,680 the allegory of the cave. Now, so we have that basic structure, 166 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,759 and then you can see how the allegory of the cave then fits into the 167 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:37,920 overall narrative of many Hollywood stories, including dystopias, including a lot of the 168 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:45,480 films that we've covered recently, where the control structure of the dystopian government right 169 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:53,039 equilibrium, for example, that's identified with the Creator God and so you gotta 170 00:20:53,200 --> 00:21:03,559 flee this in some sort of secret Miss Sickle transcendent noss is that Marvin is 171 00:21:03,599 --> 00:21:10,359 that Marvin fake? And Gray is that who sings that song? Ain't nothing 172 00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:18,799 like the real thing? Baby Bear? The real thing. I don't know. 173 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,039 I don't know any Marvin Gay songs. I know a Barry White song, 174 00:21:22,559 --> 00:21:27,680 get it Together, the baby, Oh, get it together, the 175 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:37,680 my my baby bear girl, I do what I won't how about that? 176 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,480 How about some Verry White. I don't know Marvin Gray, but I know 177 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:48,039 Barry White. So the create let's say, no, we're not ready for 178 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:55,799 Creator. So we're talking about excuse me, I do really appreciate so many 179 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,799 elements of THHX, even though it's a very bizarre film. So if you're 180 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000 respecting an exciting dystopian movie, that's not what you're gonna get with this. 181 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:08,759 You're gonna get a very it's a gritty slow burn, as they every critics 182 00:22:08,799 --> 00:22:12,559 says since twenty ten. This is a gritty slowburn. But it's a very 183 00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:18,000 well done film. And when George Lucas made this, he was definitely influenced 184 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,640 by nineteen eighty four and Brave New World and probably many other dystopian stories. 185 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:33,039 There's also actually forgotten is it Anthem, and Rand actually has a decent dystopian 186 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:38,279 future story that is also a Plato's allegory of the Cave story, and I 187 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:44,759 think it's called Anthem. But you know, of course everybody, everybody loves 188 00:22:44,759 --> 00:22:49,160 to hate on An Rand, and certainly there's immense areas for criticism, but 189 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,279 you know, not everything an Randon is terrible. I mean that her book 190 00:22:53,400 --> 00:23:02,039 on Aesthetics is good. Her dystopian story Anthem is also good, so you 191 00:23:02,079 --> 00:23:03,720 know, we won't have to hate everything and every every author. She actually 192 00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:07,920 has some good, some good stuff. But so in THHX, Robert Duvall 193 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,200 is the main character. He's sort of the Winston, right, he's the 194 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:18,480 Winston who wants to kind of get out of this nightmare system. And he 195 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,279 does better than Winston. I mean, Winston doesn't fare too well in his 196 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:27,920 adventures, but Robert dwell Devol affairs better. But when you watch this, 197 00:23:29,319 --> 00:23:34,920 I really recommend it because this scene is very profound. Where the control structure 198 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:40,039 of the future, where they're all underground and basically everybody's job is to just 199 00:23:40,079 --> 00:23:44,480 build the robots that uh, you know, spank them and imprison them. 200 00:23:44,519 --> 00:23:48,000 Literally spank them and imprison them. So everybody's job it's this weird. It's 201 00:23:48,079 --> 00:23:53,200 the circular economy. It's just b is a circular economy. There you would 202 00:23:53,359 --> 00:24:00,359 creates, bolts ver spank you. So there's the circle, right, you 203 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,799 create the bots, the bots bank you, you create more bots, perfect 204 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:10,319 circular economy of Klaus and Company. So it's very profound in that way, 205 00:24:11,839 --> 00:24:17,759 and because that's where we are right we're entering into basically THHX one one three 206 00:24:17,799 --> 00:24:23,559 eight world. Everybody's got their tracked and trace number. Everybody's controlled by big 207 00:24:23,599 --> 00:24:30,920 pharma drugs, so you get your daily allotment of protein cubes, and you 208 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,599 know big Doctor Mario pills every day that should basically your breakfast is a bunch 209 00:24:34,599 --> 00:24:41,519 of Doctor Mario pills. But Robert Davall goes on an adventure, rebels against 210 00:24:41,519 --> 00:24:47,480 the system, and if you haven't seen it, spoiler alert, he does 211 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:56,839 escape. So he escapes the prison planet Escape Fund. He escapes from the 212 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,039 underground facility of the future Dystopia, And what do we see when he emerges 213 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:07,400 out of the ladder and the throws open the pot the the manhole, but 214 00:25:07,559 --> 00:25:17,519 he beholds a giant sons He's never seen a sunset. That is Plato's allegory 215 00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:25,880 of the cave presented in THHXE. But I also like this element of the 216 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:30,559 AI system that runs and controls everybody in this underground facility. Somehow was perceptive 217 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,920 enough to be programmed by the elites or whoever. We don't know who created 218 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:41,079 this horrible underground prison, but they were perceptive enough to know that they would. 219 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,880 The control system needs a religion, and so they have an AI Jesus 220 00:25:47,079 --> 00:25:51,440 that you confess your sins to. But it's also a way for the AI 221 00:25:51,519 --> 00:25:56,119 to keep up with what you're thinking and what you're up to you see, 222 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:02,319 So it's sort of a it's a mind control keeping tabs surveillance AI thing, 223 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,039 and Robert of all eventually begins to figure this out right that he's confessing to 224 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,160 AI Jesus who is basically just surveiling him and knowing his thoughts. So it's 225 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:19,839 thought control that is actually pretty profound because they are actually rolling out. By 226 00:26:19,839 --> 00:26:23,119 the way, if you haven't seen, there was a Lutheran Protestant church that 227 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,880 is rolling out AI bots that you can confess to. I'm not joking, 228 00:26:30,079 --> 00:26:33,119 and you know, five years ago, I would have said, oh, 229 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,319 this will never happen, that's crazy. But nowadays now I think anything's possible. 230 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,279 So they will probably roll this out eventually where you just confess your sins 231 00:26:41,319 --> 00:26:48,160 to the new future AI god that they want to roll out, and that 232 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,680 will tie into Creator, because Creator is going to be about the AI god 233 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,640 or goddess, I should say, coming AI goddess. Why would it be 234 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,119 a goddess? What will explain why it's a goddess? Here in a little 235 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:06,119 bit. So that's my first one is THHS one one three eight. Let's 236 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:11,920 this is another one. I think Jamie and I covered this. This is 237 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:18,400 a fun one. It's one of the better David Cronenberg movies. Cronenberg actually 238 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,319 has quite a few good movies. I don't. I'm not a Cronenberg hater. 239 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,519 I was not a fan of the recent Vigo Mortenson movie that where people 240 00:27:26,519 --> 00:27:33,480 are evolving to eat plastic. I mean that was gross. And there's usually 241 00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:38,279 some gross elements in David Kronenberg films, but it's a grotesque that I could 242 00:27:38,319 --> 00:27:48,359 tolerate. But I mean Vigo Mortenson having gurgle guts bubble guts when he was 243 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,880 trying to eat plastic. I mean that was just grossing me out. Or 244 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,279 no, he was eating normal food, but he needed to eat plastic. 245 00:27:53,319 --> 00:28:00,480 That's what it was. So no, I don't. I don't need to 246 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,160 see a movie about people getting diarrhea from eating plastic. I mean, it's 247 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,720 just no. Hey, I got an idea from a movie. Everybody's eating 248 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,279 plastic and they got diarrhea, bubbleguts. No, I don't want to watch 249 00:28:12,319 --> 00:28:18,680 that. Not a good movie. So this one is fun because if you're 250 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:25,839 not seeing existence e X I s T E n Z right after the Matrix 251 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,400 basically, and the Matrix comes out in ninety eight, I think David Cronenberg 252 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,680 puts out his his version of the Matrix. You could say, with Jude 253 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:41,400 Law, I am, I was Jude Law. Jude Law is the protagonist 254 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:48,559 who signs up to be a part of a new cutting edge virtual reality game, 255 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,720 and he gets roped into this because he thinks, well, you know, 256 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,599 I think he's had he needs money or something, and he's like, 257 00:28:56,599 --> 00:29:00,200 well, maybe I can get some you know, student funding or something. 258 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,680 I forget exactly what it is, and so he signs up for this VR 259 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:11,720 game which taps into your brain and you go into this completely you know, 260 00:29:11,839 --> 00:29:17,480 simulated matrix type of world, and there he embarks on this wild adventure with 261 00:29:17,559 --> 00:29:22,559 Jennifer Jason Lee. Again super dupernostic, especially when we get to the end 262 00:29:22,559 --> 00:29:29,000 of the film where it literally ties it into the sort of Creator God mythos 263 00:29:29,839 --> 00:29:36,200 and the Creator God is the evil imprisoning figure who is trying to keep Jude 264 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,519 Law in the Matrix. And it's one of those it's got one of those 265 00:29:38,519 --> 00:29:41,839 good twisties where you think he's out of the matrix, but is he really 266 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,039 out of the matrix? And then he is he really really out of the 267 00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:49,480 matrix or is he still really really really inside the matrix. You see. 268 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,599 It is a it's a fun mind bender from nineteen ninety nine. I actually 269 00:29:55,599 --> 00:30:00,279 think this is a good film. But it has that again totally neognostic narrative 270 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:06,519 of the game maker, the architect of the game, and it's some kind 271 00:30:06,519 --> 00:30:08,400 of like Silicon Valley. Dude, right, is the stand in for the 272 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:17,160 creator God. And usually in these narratives, the dark hero archetype figure the 273 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:22,880 one the liberator figure, the protagonist who liberates himself or others or the revolutionary 274 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:30,839 movement from the imprisoning world. Typically he has to unite with his feminine archetype 275 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:36,599 companions. So again, the rejoining of the masculine the feminine together is what 276 00:30:37,119 --> 00:30:45,119 supposedly can defeat the over writing ARCon deity that's imprisoning everybody. So if you're 277 00:30:45,119 --> 00:30:48,880 not seeing Existence, I do recommend Existence. It is a good movie. 278 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,759 Not every one of these, by the way, is good, but quite 279 00:30:52,799 --> 00:31:00,119 a few of these are pretty good. Nineties for some reason, was rife 280 00:31:03,519 --> 00:31:08,400 Let's get these nasty people out of the chat, gross dude. The nineties 281 00:31:08,759 --> 00:31:18,440 was rife with a lot of this technocratic hacker gnostic theme right in a lot 282 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:25,880 of films. Again, Existence is right after the Matrix. I should mention 283 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,599 the Matrix just because we're not going to spend too much time on this, 284 00:31:29,759 --> 00:31:37,160 because everyone has seen the Matrix. This has been discussed and dissected, delved 285 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,799 into many many times. I've written chapters on it. We've done many breakdowns 286 00:31:41,799 --> 00:31:47,039 of the trilogy. But of course, the Matrix has the Architect as the 287 00:31:47,119 --> 00:31:52,160 creator figure, the old white haired dude that must be rebelled against by the 288 00:31:52,240 --> 00:32:02,559 anarcho Communo, you know, Eastern mystic influ luenced Neo right. Neo is 289 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:13,319 the luciferian figure who fights against the imprisoning structure of the Matrix, and everybody 290 00:32:13,359 --> 00:32:19,000 knows the story how it goes. He eventually has to sort of allow Agent 291 00:32:19,079 --> 00:32:23,680 Smith into himself. Sometimes then people argue that Smith is actually the liberator in 292 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:29,880 the end and not Neo, or there's a synthesis of Neo and the Matrix 293 00:32:30,039 --> 00:32:36,079 right to produce eventually the overturning of the Architect and the liberation that occurs. 294 00:32:36,119 --> 00:32:43,880 I'm not even gonna go into Matrix resurrections. But do you believe do you 295 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:50,200 want the red pill or the blue pill? What is the real? That's 296 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,880 my Morpheus for the night. Whoa, that's my neo for the night. 297 00:32:53,519 --> 00:32:59,599 I need a gun. If you watch john Wick, which literally has maybe 298 00:32:59,599 --> 00:33:04,799 four lines, I think I think neo has four lines. I need a 299 00:33:04,839 --> 00:33:10,160 gun. I'm gonna need a gun. That's that's I remember the lines because 300 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:19,079 there's only like one or two in john Wick. But don't forget that a 301 00:33:19,119 --> 00:33:25,160 lot of the matrix has Far Eastern Buddhist zen Ish influence, because if you 302 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:31,079 remember when he when he meets that little that little that little doughnut Pilgrim's dough 303 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:37,480 boy, right, a little remember the little bald doughboy that says, don't 304 00:33:37,599 --> 00:33:45,119 bingdish spoon bind the reality around a spoon? Right, That's all a bunch 305 00:33:45,119 --> 00:33:50,559 of you know, Gnostic slash Far Eastern mysticism, which will play heavily into 306 00:33:50,599 --> 00:33:52,759 the Creator when we get to the Creator. So we've I've broken down the 307 00:33:52,799 --> 00:33:55,880 matrix many many times. We're not going to go into that. Everybody knows 308 00:33:55,880 --> 00:34:02,160 the matrix. But also from late nineties again, nineteen ninety eight, mid 309 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:14,199 to late nineties packed with neo gnostic, platonic hacker matrix simulation world's films. 310 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:19,840 And we're not even done. There's many more. Next we come to the 311 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:27,760 classic from the late nineties with Rufus Seul and Jennifer Connelly Dark City, and 312 00:34:28,039 --> 00:34:30,320 I'm sure that you are familiar with Dark City. I won't go into too 313 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,880 many details, but we start to notice here. I think this is in 314 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,440 the Matrix too, But in Dark City, if you don't know, Rufus 315 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:43,079 Suil wakes up and he doesn't know how he got to the place that he's 316 00:34:43,119 --> 00:34:45,960 in, and there's there's like bloody spirals everywhere in a room, and he 317 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:51,440 looks like he's killed somebody. So he's being blamed for something that ultimately we 318 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:57,519 know he didn't do, and so he embarks on this neo noir sci fi 319 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,199 journey to figure out what's going on. Why is he imprisoned in this world? 320 00:35:01,199 --> 00:35:05,800 He has amnesia, he doesn't remember. The amnesia element is also an 321 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:10,119 important Platonic and even at times Gnostic element, because a lot of the for 322 00:35:10,159 --> 00:35:15,320 example, Platonic philosophy is based on the idea that we were once in the 323 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:20,840 realm of the forms, with the monad or with the One, and so 324 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,920 Plato's explanation for how we got to where we are is reincarnation. And if 325 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:30,760 you went back far enough in the reincarnation cycle, you would image if each 326 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,119 eventually get back to the beginning of all, to the One, to the 327 00:35:34,159 --> 00:35:40,800 monad from which everything sort of sprung forth. And so our goal in getting 328 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:47,320 out of the cycle, the cycle of creation or the Hindu cycle right of 329 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:52,480 reincarnation and rebirth, is to get back to the One, to ascend out 330 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,920 of this dimension or this reality, back to the One, to the Monad. 331 00:35:57,199 --> 00:35:59,960 And you'll find that same idea present in a lot of world religion, 332 00:36:00,199 --> 00:36:06,920 ancient Hinduism, et cetera, at meditating or achieving enlightenment, to return to 333 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,760 the unity, to the absolute, to the One, to thusness right, 334 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:17,760 all of that, well, a big part of what Platonism posits is the 335 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:23,079 remembrance from whence we came. So the mysteries of Platonism. Platinism is a 336 00:36:23,079 --> 00:36:27,199 mystery religion in my view. If you don't believe that, We've got into 337 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:31,679 that in my philosophy course lectures that we did with Richard Grove, and you 338 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:37,840 can get access to that in the show description my twelve lecture course thirty plus 339 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:44,199 hours. It's the philosophy course at the Autonomy Agora Marketplace. And so I'll 340 00:36:44,199 --> 00:36:49,599 put this right here and get access to the philosophy course there that we do 341 00:36:49,679 --> 00:36:52,719 with Richard. If you're interested in learning, that's always available. We can 342 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:57,039 bide at any time. But also keep in mind Richard has a new course 343 00:36:57,039 --> 00:36:59,920 that's out that we're going to look at here in a second when we plug 344 00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:02,800 Richard's course. If you want to become an entrepreneur, becomes self sufficient, 345 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,199 become your own boss, then Richard's course is a great step in that direction. 346 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:20,039 So back to the to Dark City. These black clad bald figures that 347 00:37:20,079 --> 00:37:23,320 you see here, these are essentially what we would think of as the archons. 348 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:29,800 These are the controlling entities out of nastases and the arcons or the beings 349 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:34,760 that are tasked with serving the Creator God, the bumbling, fool, buffoon 350 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:42,320 tyrant God who has this mindless horde of arcons that are sent out to control 351 00:37:42,599 --> 00:37:46,679 reality for him because he's jealous and envious and all this stuff. And so 352 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:52,840 the Creator God has all these, you know, sort of creepy bald uncle 353 00:37:52,880 --> 00:38:00,840 fester dudes running reality. And as rufus Sewel goes on this journey of discovery 354 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:07,239 and enlightenment, he goes through an actual process of initiation. As I argue, 355 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:12,719 and when I analyze this film in the past to eventually facing off against 356 00:38:14,039 --> 00:38:23,239 the Arcons and then overcoming them through his own innate apotheosis. And this also 357 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:30,480 I think parallels with his union with Jacon, So he needs Jennifer Connolly as 358 00:38:30,519 --> 00:38:37,440 his feminine principal archetype, and in this union he overcomes it and basically escapes 359 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:45,760 the matrix. He realizes shocker or spoiler alert, that Dark City is actually 360 00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:55,400 a superstructure alien entity in space. So it's this giant city that exists floating 361 00:38:55,400 --> 00:39:00,239 in space as a spaceship, and he's really in prison on this thing. 362 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:07,639 And when he overcomes the Archons, he now becomes the Creator God. He's 363 00:39:07,679 --> 00:39:14,800 achieved apotheosis out of this Dark City. So if you've not seen Dark City, 364 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:19,440 I recommend it because it is a super neoonostic film. And in fact, 365 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:27,079 the director in interviews himself has said this is absolutely a neoonostic film if 366 00:39:27,079 --> 00:39:31,079 you've not seen it. So also, once again, if we're getting from 367 00:39:31,119 --> 00:39:42,039 like ninety seven, eight nine was just loaded with simulation neoonostic enlightenment motifs, 368 00:39:43,159 --> 00:39:46,679 another one of these, another neo noir, just like Dark City, just 369 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:52,639 like Existence, neo NOA. SI five is thirteenth Floor from Roland Emerick. 370 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:58,079 And this one is a little different because even though it's a simulated reality, 371 00:39:58,119 --> 00:40:02,320 it actually takes place thinking like the thirties of the forties, and so it's 372 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:07,280 thirties or forties Los Angeles. But we know from the outset that this is 373 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:15,239 a simulation that the guy's going into, and so spoiler alert, it's gonna 374 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,519 it's another one of those I've woken up, But have I really woken up? 375 00:40:17,519 --> 00:40:22,599 Am I still in the simulation? Are we just millions of simulations down 376 00:40:22,679 --> 00:40:28,039 like infinite turtles? Or are we ever actually out of the simulation? I 377 00:40:28,079 --> 00:40:36,840 won't spoil it for you beyond that, but it's most of the film takes 378 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,840 place, you know, in like forties LA. So it's not really it 379 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,760 is a science fiction story, but it's more of a detective drama taking place 380 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:51,800 in a simulation in like the nineteen forties. So but it is a good 381 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:57,079 film. I wouldn't say it's the best film ever, but it's it's worth 382 00:40:57,119 --> 00:41:00,960 watching. And of course the main character has the same sort of awakening process 383 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,800 and you know, figures out, well, maybe I should actually live in 384 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:12,000 a simulation where I get Gretchen Mall right, the forgotten nineties chick, who 385 00:41:12,039 --> 00:41:15,440 I think was like they thought she was going to be like the next you 386 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,400 know, A list or woman, and then Gretchen mall basically got sort of 387 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,920 forgotten. I don't know why. Maybe she didn't like Hollywood, who knows, 388 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:31,039 but quite a few figures from the nineties era that were, you know, 389 00:41:31,119 --> 00:41:36,000 sort of like, oh, here's the next big A list gal and 390 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,679 then for whatever reason, they sort of disappeared. But I do recommend Thirteenth 391 00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:44,079 Floor if you're interested in just a sci fi of this same platonic sort of 392 00:41:44,159 --> 00:41:46,760 narrative. I forgot to put this one on the list, but i'll add 393 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:52,480 it now. The Giver. This is a famous book that I think a 394 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:59,639 lot of people young adult readers have read. I don't remember when The Giver 395 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:04,519 came out, but you've got basically Jeff Bridges. I forgot Taylor Swift is 396 00:42:04,519 --> 00:42:09,639 in this for maybe a minute. Maybe she's not in it for very long. 397 00:42:09,679 --> 00:42:15,800 I don't recall. But future dystopian world and everything's controlled. I think 398 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:21,760 that's a there's a genetic control. It's okay, it's not that great. 399 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:27,559 It's kind of a corny movie in certain ways, but it is okay if 400 00:42:27,599 --> 00:42:30,119 you're interested in the narrative. I don't I don't remember Taylor Swifting in it, 401 00:42:30,199 --> 00:42:36,079 but I think she only has a brief role. There is the Giver 402 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:37,599 if you're interested in that. I never read this book, so I can't 403 00:42:37,599 --> 00:42:40,559 speak to it too much. I think we covered it years ago on a 404 00:42:40,639 --> 00:42:45,559 boiler room or something. But it has some interesting platonic themes, and once 405 00:42:45,599 --> 00:42:49,920 again, it's the escape from the from the k It's the allegory of the 406 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:54,559 cave Old Tom koomb over here, you boy, Tom koom over here. 407 00:42:54,679 --> 00:42:59,480 In Vanilla Sky, we did an entire Vanilla Sky breakdown. I'm not going 408 00:42:59,519 --> 00:43:04,199 to repeat all of that, but essentially, once again, you've got a 409 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:09,400 simulation or it's sort of like put it being put in a cryogenic state. 410 00:43:09,519 --> 00:43:12,639 Right, So, if you never seen Vanid Sky, I just ruined it 411 00:43:12,639 --> 00:43:22,320 for you. But I'm guessing that that has scientology underpinnings in regard to croyogen 412 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:28,119 I don't know. I'm discussing that because it's a film about cryogenically freezing yourself 413 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,039 and you get a Tom Kombs sickle like Jimmie had talked about when we covered 414 00:43:31,079 --> 00:43:35,800 this. You know, you gotta let you gotta let that Tom Koon thaw 415 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,400 out. You can't have it hold, you gotta let him thaw out. 416 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:43,039 But we did this one in depth, so I'm not going to rehearse it. 417 00:43:43,639 --> 00:43:50,039 But that's what you got there, and if you're looking for our breakdown 418 00:43:50,079 --> 00:43:58,559 of it, I'll link it for you right here, right hurt. So 419 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,760 we were doing yeah, okay, so we paired up video Drone, Vanilla 420 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:07,159 Sky lawnmower Man and Existence, the David Cronenberg movie that we just mentioned a 421 00:44:07,159 --> 00:44:12,320 minute ago in this podcast here If you want to go back and watch, 422 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,320 Jamie and I cover that one in depth. If you want the deeper podcast, 423 00:44:15,519 --> 00:44:20,360 it's not what we're doing today. Truman Show. Everybody knows Truman Show. 424 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:25,639 Once again. Ed Harris plays the creator God and it's interesting that they 425 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:31,719 stuck this right next to Hollywood right. Ed Harris is the creator gods slash 426 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:39,159 director producer for The Truman Show, which is a completely fictionalized created reality that 427 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:44,760 exists for Jim Carey, which he thinks is real, thinks is reality, 428 00:44:45,119 --> 00:44:50,840 but he's being broadcast to the rest of the world in this fictional scenario of 429 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:55,519 a TV show inside a completely controlled environment. Once again the allegory of the 430 00:44:55,599 --> 00:45:06,719 cave, the Enlightenment. Just give me the simulation environment, right. Eventually 431 00:45:07,199 --> 00:45:10,119 he breaks out, as we know, he sees a light bulb or a 432 00:45:10,199 --> 00:45:15,679 light that falls out of the sky from the dome and it says serious on 433 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,679 it and so here it is right here, it falls down, and then 434 00:45:19,679 --> 00:45:25,800 he begins to notice that this reality there, it is so the dog star 435 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:34,719 is serious, serious, which is for him the lights in the sky right. 436 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:43,239 For him, sky and space really was facing gray right. And then 437 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,800 he finds this, which again begins to make him question his entire reality. 438 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,920 Another theme in a lot of these films, by the way, is where 439 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,880 they're trying to get. This is both in Truman Show and in Dark City 440 00:45:54,960 --> 00:46:00,519 is to shell Beach. So shell Beach is always kind of this stand in 441 00:46:00,679 --> 00:46:02,880 for heaven or whatever, right, because they always want to get out of 442 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,960 their controlled reality and get to the beach, and they never can. They're 443 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:12,599 always they're always distracted or something happens where they can't get out of there, 444 00:46:12,599 --> 00:46:15,679 and those distractions are sent by the system, by the you know, the 445 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:21,880 architect, the archons, by the creator God to keep people in prison, 446 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,000 to keep them from waking up, and that's exactly what happens here. And 447 00:46:25,039 --> 00:46:31,320 eventually he confronts at Harris and I'm sure everybody's seeing Truman Show. So but 448 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:39,000 the command center that they have ed Harris and Company right where that's running this 449 00:46:39,079 --> 00:46:44,440 matrix simulation to keep him in there. You'll notice how it's this this giant 450 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:49,000 sort of producer's room for the TV show, which is a giant reality show, 451 00:46:49,039 --> 00:46:53,159 which again reality shows were just beginning to kick off in nineteen ninety eight. 452 00:46:53,199 --> 00:47:00,280 Again ninety eight, another one of these years for simulation, environment media, 453 00:47:00,039 --> 00:47:06,280 fake world scenarios. Truman Show is one of the classics. Again absolutely 454 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:10,039 the platonic story because as you know, when Jim Carrey sails the boat to 455 00:47:10,119 --> 00:47:17,239 the end of the dome, he hits a wall and there's a staircase which 456 00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:22,199 does look like a Masonic staircase by which he exits. Here it is right 457 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:30,199 by which he exits the control structure. But you'll keep in mind too, 458 00:47:30,199 --> 00:47:37,599 one of the ways that they kept Truman from from leaving the show was because 459 00:47:37,599 --> 00:47:42,119 they knew what his fears were. So they knew he had a fear of 460 00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,239 drowning and of the sea and so that was that was actually a way to 461 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,039 keep him controlled that they knew that he wouldn't swim out of there, but 462 00:47:49,079 --> 00:47:53,920 so he had to overcome his fears to get out of his matrix. So 463 00:47:53,960 --> 00:48:01,519 again one of the classics sort of Hollywood neognostic narratives Truman Show, and yes, 464 00:48:01,679 --> 00:48:06,000 if you're interested, I have a lengthy breakdown that I did many years 465 00:48:06,039 --> 00:48:12,559 ago to where I did Truman Show and Groundhog Day in this deep dive way 466 00:48:12,599 --> 00:48:15,800 back then when I was eight years ago, when I was really bad at 467 00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:22,280 podcasting and talking. So there's that if you want. And I went pretty 468 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:27,119 deep in a Groundhog Day too, which I think is a Nietzsche and eternal 469 00:48:27,159 --> 00:48:35,000 return story. Before we do that, though, when I talk about our 470 00:48:35,079 --> 00:48:38,960 good buddy over here, Richard, our sponsor, Richard has a good thing 471 00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:43,239 you'd like to talk to you about, and you can support our show by 472 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:47,440 also listening to what Richard has to say right here from Autonomy University. So 473 00:48:47,519 --> 00:48:50,880 let's see what Richard says, and then we'll get back to some more of 474 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,679 the movies. What can you do well if you want to escate the apathy 475 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:58,360 step right this way? So twice a year I teach a course called Autonomy. 476 00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,760 It's a twelve week personal development and training course. What people get out 477 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:06,360 of it is multifaceted. There's curriculum, there's exercises, there's camaraderie, you 478 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,480 make new friends, there's a whole lot of interesting things. We're gonna hear 479 00:49:08,519 --> 00:49:10,880 a sample from the course right now, and let's take a look at the 480 00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:15,559 value these students are getting. On the topic of yawning. Yes, I 481 00:49:15,599 --> 00:49:21,639 had never really considered that it makes you more vulnerable when you're yawning. There's 482 00:49:21,639 --> 00:49:25,480 some interesting studies on when one person yawns other people than yawn, and there's 483 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:30,519 interesting studies on people who don't yawn in the presence of other people who yawn. 484 00:49:30,679 --> 00:49:35,599 Right. And then, from an anthropological aspect, what I was taught 485 00:49:35,599 --> 00:49:40,320 back it's probably you know, it's probably thirty years ago. Was that in 486 00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:47,960 primates, yawning is one of the steps of engagement, of standing your ground. 487 00:49:49,039 --> 00:49:54,480 Yeah, so it's interesting, it's posturing. My anthropology teacher told a 488 00:49:54,519 --> 00:50:00,280 story of these these stages of primate interaction, and he was an expert on 489 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:04,519 the topic. So he's a really good teacher. Interesting cat, and he 490 00:50:04,559 --> 00:50:08,039 said he would go to the zoos and he would interact with the primates, 491 00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:12,880 so if you if you yawn, they'll yawn back, these sort of thing, 492 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:17,159 right, And then he also discussed how to like really work them up, 493 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:21,159 and he said, now you can do this. You guys might think 494 00:50:21,159 --> 00:50:22,079 it's funny you can do this. He's like, but now I'm going to 495 00:50:22,159 --> 00:50:25,320 tell you what you have to do to calm them down. And what you 496 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:29,760 have to do to calm them down after you work them up is basically you 497 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:35,599 have to bend over and moon them. I forget what it was called presenting. 498 00:50:36,039 --> 00:50:37,320 I think it was what we have to present to them, and it's 499 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,599 a way of acquiescing and then they'll they'll chill out and stop trying to attack. 500 00:50:40,639 --> 00:50:46,239 But it's like an evolutionary ingrained in biology from from millions of years of 501 00:50:47,119 --> 00:50:57,239 growth and development that it's in the simians and also in the humans, so 502 00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:00,079 it's interesting. And the tears also, it's like do we spontaneously need to 503 00:51:00,079 --> 00:51:05,079 clean our eyes or our tear ducts? Like what is sadness and tears and 504 00:51:05,079 --> 00:51:08,960 those connections. It's like that's part of the quintessential human experience. And then 505 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,320 in school, let's think about it. You're not allowed to laugh. There's 506 00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,440 no humor in school, and you're not allowed to cry. But everything's like 507 00:51:15,519 --> 00:51:17,000 kind of frustrating, and you're not giving tools, so you're not living, 508 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:22,800 you know, you're not giving much other option. And yeah, I think 509 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:28,719 these modalities you can start to look for the humor and things. And then 510 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:30,440 once you start to see the humor in the irony and you get on board 511 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:36,760 with the universe is not taking this personally against you. It's a classroom for 512 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:38,000 those who think. Are not to think? What's up to you, guys? 513 00:51:38,039 --> 00:51:39,639 And if you don't want to think, then you end up on the 514 00:51:39,679 --> 00:51:44,000 irony spectrum of it. And if you do learn how to think, you 515 00:51:44,079 --> 00:51:46,639 can end up on the laughing at the irony spectrum because you do it to 516 00:51:46,679 --> 00:51:51,039 yourself a lot of times. You know, Oh I spilled this, okay, 517 00:51:51,079 --> 00:51:53,480 am I gonna throw a tantrum and yell and act like a little kid? 518 00:51:53,639 --> 00:51:55,559 Or am I gonna laugh about it? And like, oh, well, 519 00:51:55,559 --> 00:51:59,599 I guess I gotta get more paper towels or whatever this is that you 520 00:51:59,679 --> 00:52:04,159 spawn there by bounty, you know that's still sponsored by the picker upper. 521 00:52:04,639 --> 00:52:09,440 So the the more flexible we can learn to be with ourselves without violating the 522 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:15,840 bounds of our integrity. The better it's going to be for your user experience, 523 00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:19,519 and that user experience. A lot of times we make it harder on 524 00:52:19,559 --> 00:52:28,360 ourselves by incorrect, inaccurate, negative self talk between our ears. Now there 525 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:35,920 Richard is talking about some insights that evolutionary psychology has for business and whatnot. 526 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,880 These are just clips out of his various lectures, and he also does open 527 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:45,280 Q and A typically after the talks, So it's not just about evolutionary biology. 528 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:49,280 Obviously, I don't agree with macro evolution, but I do agree that 529 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:53,880 we can learn from what's called the discipline of evolutionary psychology or the study of 530 00:52:53,880 --> 00:53:00,360 biology and adaptation. Again, that's not the same thing as you know, 531 00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:07,280 what people call macro evolution, that one species mutates into another species. I 532 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:08,840 don't believe that, and I don't agree with that, but again we can 533 00:53:09,679 --> 00:53:15,440 learn from this and from Richard's course. There's another clip where he goes into 534 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:22,639 the history of education and how American education was really co opted in common deer 535 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:29,159 two dumb people down, and thus Richard's course deals with overcoming that and reorienting 536 00:53:29,199 --> 00:53:34,039 and retooling your education to be something that benefits you and not puts. It 537 00:53:34,159 --> 00:53:38,880 doesn't make you into William James. You know, John Dewey, creature, 538 00:53:39,079 --> 00:53:45,559 horse man, creature to be socialized in a cog in the system. Source 539 00:53:45,639 --> 00:53:51,760 materials like the copy that we have of the Reese Committee hearings is Charlotte's copy. 540 00:53:52,039 --> 00:53:57,079 She went and found that copy and got it and circulated it her work. 541 00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,599 I remember when I first encountered her work. I didn't know what to 542 00:54:00,639 --> 00:54:04,840 make of it because it was it's just too overwhelming and out of left field. 543 00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,920 And I was familiar with Ghatto's work, but not as much as I 544 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:12,440 could. So Ghatto's work bounced off me. The first time I saw Charlotte's 545 00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,239 work, I was like, there's something here, but I don't know what 546 00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,960 it is. I did some more learning, discovered like Tragedy Hope and Anthony 547 00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:20,960 Sutton's work. Then I went back to those two books. I was like, 548 00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:22,760 Oh, these people are all talking about the same thing. She's talking 549 00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:29,280 about the nineteen thirty four Carnegie Blue Book, which was the internationalist text inserted 550 00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,519 into America. So the globalist they're like, here's how we're going to insert 551 00:54:32,599 --> 00:54:37,840 into American education and turn it into our compulsory schooling and reshape it and our 552 00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:42,840 image, and we'll remove the history where we're at war with Britain and then 553 00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,400 everything will be just hunky dory. And they got their way, and they 554 00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:51,519 did it. So Charlotte, she's working in the Reagan administration back I think 555 00:54:51,519 --> 00:54:54,960 in the eighties, and she came across some of this information. She was 556 00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:59,480 incredulous, and then she went and dug it up and she's like, oh 557 00:54:59,519 --> 00:55:02,760 my goodness. They are systematically changing the attitudes, values, behaviors, and 558 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:07,599 beliefs of Americans to be in more in line with communists and collectivists. The 559 00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:12,239 removal of individual rights. Basically, it's a way to a road any of 560 00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,599 America's power. What did America have? We had our ability to coin money, 561 00:55:15,639 --> 00:55:19,880 and we had freedom of speech, We had all these things those separated 562 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,039 us from the British Empire. So as they kind of cut those peers one 563 00:55:22,079 --> 00:55:25,599 by one, they can do a controlled demolition of the whole thing. And 564 00:55:25,639 --> 00:55:29,840 that's kind of where we're at in history right now. So we got front 565 00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,079 row seats. We're like that movie Grand Tour. Back in the day, 566 00:55:32,079 --> 00:55:36,480 it was time travelers in the future who would go to big events in the 567 00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:38,199 past, and they would watch it and it had like Jeff Daniels, it 568 00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:43,239 was the early nineties comedy. But there's something to have in front seats on 569 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,880 like the end of the world type situation. So I don't see it as 570 00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:49,840 a tragedy. I see it as a big opportunity, a good call to 571 00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:53,679 action for everybody to get on the field and start playing and stop being spectators. 572 00:55:53,679 --> 00:55:58,639 Because if these people think they can do this to our world without us 573 00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,920 seeing it and doing something about it, they're wrong. And we're in motion. 574 00:56:02,039 --> 00:56:08,599 So Charlotte, her work spans you know, decades and decades and decades, 575 00:56:09,039 --> 00:56:13,800 and that's her book, The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America. It's a 576 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:17,679 seven hundred page book. It's heavy duty, it's it's an academic law league. 577 00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:22,360 So Richard goes into a lot of these texts, and if you're interested 578 00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:28,480 in that as well as other you know, educational issues, history of American 579 00:56:28,599 --> 00:56:34,159 education, and then how to become rather your own boss, your own self 580 00:56:34,199 --> 00:56:38,800 sovereign individual, and your own entrepreneur. That is the focus of Richard's course 581 00:56:39,039 --> 00:56:43,000 at University of Reason, which is as said, were available here. If 582 00:56:43,039 --> 00:56:45,039 you're interested in it, you have to go through Richard's obstacle course right there. 583 00:56:46,559 --> 00:56:52,119 And Richard is himself a successful businessman entrepreneur, so it's not coming from 584 00:56:52,159 --> 00:56:55,559 a person who doesn't have the actual experience. He actually has that experience. 585 00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,880 As as I said, if you want to support me, you can do 586 00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:02,119 so by the super chap functions in stream Labs. Send a super chat at 587 00:57:02,119 --> 00:57:14,480 anytime and I'll read it, and then right there and we will get back 588 00:57:14,559 --> 00:57:17,239 to the films here. Maize Runner is interesting because it deals with a lot 589 00:57:17,239 --> 00:57:23,199 of genetic and experimentation, genetic serimentation done on the youth. This is when 590 00:57:23,239 --> 00:57:30,760 that era of young adult stuff was popping off, right, Like there was 591 00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:37,599 Scorched Trials and there was Hunger Games with Jay Law, right, remember all 592 00:57:37,639 --> 00:57:40,559 that in the twenty tens. I forget exactly what year this came out, 593 00:57:42,119 --> 00:57:45,679 fourteen fifteen, somewhere in there. It's an okay film, But again, 594 00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:53,920 the narrative here is being placed into a facility and the teenagers are forced into 595 00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:59,039 all these trials that they have to overcome, and their environment is a completely 596 00:57:59,079 --> 00:58:01,679 synthetic crea an environment, and it has to do with a future where the 597 00:58:01,719 --> 00:58:10,119 world has been heavily depopped. And again it's a very kind of teenager ish 598 00:58:10,199 --> 00:58:14,800 movie, but it's not terrible. It says I, actually I told the 599 00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:19,159 story. I bumped into the dude that wrote it, the Scores Travels author, 600 00:58:19,519 --> 00:58:22,679 when I was working at a bookstore and he came to do a talk 601 00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:28,159 and I was interested in meeting him, and I got to work later or 602 00:58:28,199 --> 00:58:30,920 something, and and then we were in the bathroom. And every time I 603 00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,360 told the story, I was supposed to say, like, how did you 604 00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:36,719 meet that? I was like, well, we were peeing together. And 605 00:58:36,719 --> 00:58:39,639 then I have to explain that because you can't talk about how you bumped into 606 00:58:39,679 --> 00:58:43,599 somebody in the bathroom. Andre like what were you doing we were peeing together, 607 00:58:44,039 --> 00:58:46,679 because it sounds like you were both having like co peeing, Like, 608 00:58:46,719 --> 00:58:50,599 oh, I went with him to the bathroom like girls do to go peet. 609 00:58:50,639 --> 00:58:52,360 No, we just went. I just went to pee and he happened 610 00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:57,920 to be in there and I look over the stall and he were peeing together, 611 00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,280 and I'm like, oh, you're the Sports Trials guy, but you 612 00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:08,239 can't really have a conversation, you know, peeing together. It's it's awkward, 613 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:13,119 but you're still kind of hey, you're that dude. And I've told 614 00:59:13,159 --> 00:59:16,840 the same story where I had the exact same thing happened with John Lennell or 615 00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:24,679 John Flansburg from they might be giants peeing together, but not in a in 616 00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:29,719 a in a gay way, in a hetero way. Just just add the 617 00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:34,800 stalls all. I mean, yeah, Maze Runner exactly, Maze Runner scorts 618 00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:38,039 Trials. That's the first one. The Little Finger, remember the Little Finger, 619 00:59:38,239 --> 00:59:44,360 the Rettle Finger Cozy. The little Finger is the bad guy again. 620 00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:52,079 And here we have the story of getting out of the synthetic environment. But 621 00:59:52,119 --> 00:59:58,079 I do like the fact that this is basically a deep government experiment of figuring 622 00:59:58,079 --> 01:00:04,800 out who's got the right genetics and all that so much like uh, you 623 01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:09,760 boy, Michael Bay, y'all remember him, the dude that likes to blow 624 01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:13,840 stuff up. I mean, when you type in Michael Bay, the first 625 01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:17,320 thing that comes up as explosions, you know what I mean, Michael Bay 626 01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:24,440 explosions. I mean, he's he's a meme of explosions. But I just 627 01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:30,760 went blank. What's the Scarlett jahahaha movie with you and McGregor and Michael Bay. 628 01:00:31,119 --> 01:00:37,199 And it's actually not that bad of a movie, but it's kind of 629 01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,960 just Brave New World. You know, I did a whole breakdown of it 630 01:00:42,719 --> 01:00:50,000 and I went blank. But it's also a escape from the Matrix slash neo 631 01:00:50,079 --> 01:00:55,360 platonic kind of story. However, y'all help me out, what's the name 632 01:00:55,400 --> 01:01:00,719 of that movie? I just want blank? The Island, Yes, thank 633 01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:10,280 you so much. I'm on an island with Michael Bay the real meaning of 634 01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:14,239 the island, So I have a full breakdown right here if you want a 635 01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:19,599 fuller breakdown. But yeah, The Island is kind of a mix of a 636 01:01:19,639 --> 01:01:24,000 lot of dystopian stories, much like we saw with nineteen eighty four Brave New 637 01:01:24,039 --> 01:01:30,440 World, so it's in that same vein. But The Island does have a 638 01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:34,639 section where when they're talking about the cloning procedure and what they do is the 639 01:01:35,239 --> 01:01:42,760 clones all exist in a childlike idenic slash controlled environment where they're told that when 640 01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,559 it's time for them to be free, they win the lottery and they go 641 01:01:45,679 --> 01:01:50,519 to basically shell Beach or whatever, right, But in fact they're actually killed, 642 01:01:51,119 --> 01:01:54,280 and they're killed because they're harvested for their organs for their elites in the 643 01:01:54,320 --> 01:02:00,760 real world in a future dystopia who have bought a clone to have organs when 644 01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:05,920 their organs fail, And there's actually a statement in the plot in the narrative 645 01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:10,800 where they talk about the eugenics laws that were passed to allow the elite to 646 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:16,639 do this, So I would recommend checking that out if you've not seen The 647 01:02:16,719 --> 01:02:25,320 Island. I'm sure everybody remembers the Lego movie. Some movies kind of annoying 648 01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:30,320 to me, But if you don't remember, the Lego movie has who as 649 01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:36,639 the gnostic archon trying to keep the people in the Lego universe and under control. 650 01:02:36,719 --> 01:02:45,559 Will Ferrell. Will Ferrell more than once plays the controlling creator God y'all 651 01:02:45,639 --> 01:02:50,360 debay off. Not just in Lego movie where they find the Little Spark, 652 01:02:50,599 --> 01:02:53,679 right, Chris Pratt basically is the liberator figure who gets them out through finding 653 01:02:53,719 --> 01:02:59,719 whatever that little spark is, Spark of Freedom or I don't remember exactly what 654 01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:07,559 it is, but you know, it's totally a neo gnostic narrative. Everything 655 01:03:07,679 --> 01:03:13,400 is awesome, Everything is cool when you're part of a team. Everything is 656 01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:19,599 also remember teguing it, Sarah, so spoil the show. Where's all the 657 01:03:19,639 --> 01:03:24,079 streamer? Whether the super shatters at we got stingy night, everybody's on the 658 01:03:24,119 --> 01:03:28,840 stingy time tonight. We got three hundred people in here talking about gnostic movies 659 01:03:29,039 --> 01:03:37,199 and everybody's stingy sports the show if you can buy super chats. I keep 660 01:03:37,199 --> 01:03:39,039 thinking Reach for the Top as a movie. You know that's Richard's video. 661 01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:47,159 Yeah, Barbie, So once again, just like in the Lego movie, 662 01:03:50,119 --> 01:03:57,800 Will Ferrell plays the archon creator God who attempts to keep Barbie in the matrix 663 01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:03,079 as well, this one was super gnostic feminism. As you know, as 664 01:04:03,119 --> 01:04:12,840 we covered that's not telling you that's nothing I want this trailer yet. You 665 01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:14,800 know, we did a whole breakdown of this. I'm not going to repeat 666 01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:19,079 all that, but once again Will Ferrell playing the gnostic creator God who, 667 01:04:20,559 --> 01:04:25,400 when he's not able to put Margot Robbie back in the box of being a 668 01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:33,480 traditional woman, the Barbie figure goes back to barbie imaginal land and reinstitutes the 669 01:04:33,599 --> 01:04:39,039 feminocracy, the gynocracy, if you remember. So. It's the most super 670 01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:44,719 ultra feminist movie I've ever seen. Anybody saying that this is Christian and not 671 01:04:45,159 --> 01:04:49,519 feminist is completely dumb. I mean, here's Will Ferrell as your ARCon creator 672 01:04:49,599 --> 01:04:55,840 God, patriarchal figure trying to keep the women down, and then Barbie goes 673 01:04:55,880 --> 01:05:04,800 back. Once Ken has become a manosphere guy, Barbie has to come back 674 01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:10,599 and set things straight. She has to put him back in line, right, 675 01:05:10,639 --> 01:05:14,599 because he becomes a manosphere dude. Literally it's actually referred to he checks 676 01:05:14,599 --> 01:05:18,400 out books on men's rights. Ken does, and then he goes back and 677 01:05:18,639 --> 01:05:26,920 the manosphere setting up the patriarchy means laying around watching football, drinking beer, 678 01:05:27,679 --> 01:05:31,159 just you know, lame shit, right, and then Barbie and the women, 679 01:05:31,679 --> 01:05:40,039 the Barbies reinstitute the feminist feminocracy. And so you'll see that parallel as 680 01:05:40,039 --> 01:05:45,000 we just covered between a lot of the feminist ideology and liberation oftenties into gnostic 681 01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:49,800 philosophy and liberation philosophy as well, because the idea is that to invert all 682 01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:56,840 of the patriarchal structure, you need to raise up everything that supposedly is oppressed 683 01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:00,880 women and so forth right, they need to overturn the now actual order to 684 01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:05,760 achieve liberation and freedom. And we covered a lot of those lunatic female deluded 685 01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:11,840 savior figures on the Fourth Hour, Lord Voldemort the other day from the Fire 686 01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:15,280 and in the Minds of Men book, where I mean it should be pretty 687 01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:20,840 obvious that the rise of feminism in the eighteen hundreds, of the more radical 688 01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:25,400 versions of where it really starts to kick off. Most of the proponents of 689 01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:30,679 it, like Flora Tristan, these these women like this, they had these 690 01:06:30,719 --> 01:06:32,920 delusions that they thought that they were a female Jesus, I'm not joking. 691 01:06:33,639 --> 01:06:41,760 And so Barbie is basically a kind of female gnostic archetype figure. And that's 692 01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:45,840 exactly what I covered with was it me and Jamie forget it? We did 693 01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:53,159 the whole Barbie stream about what we did the dark goddess savior archetype here right 694 01:06:54,519 --> 01:07:00,480 with Ghosts and Michell and other films like that. And you'll notice that nasticism 695 01:07:00,599 --> 01:07:05,079 was prevalent in those films as well, just like when we did the transhumanist 696 01:07:05,159 --> 01:07:14,800 films where we had what John Depp top fifteen Hollywood AI transhumanist films. Well, 697 01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:18,880 guess what, they're also also gnostic films. So there's those. If 698 01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:25,960 you didn't if you didn't even know, if you didn't even know. So 699 01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:30,760 now let's get to the creator. I think I covered most of the here's 700 01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:33,400 my list that I came up with that I thought was pretty right. There's 701 01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:39,280 also Pleasantville. I'm not a huge fan of play. I mean, I 702 01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:41,400 don't think it's that good of a movie. Is kind of boring to me. 703 01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:45,280 But you have the basic idea that once there's sin that's introduced I think 704 01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:51,840 by the Reese Witherspoon character, right, then the world of Pleasantville becomes colorful. 705 01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:58,639 So you need sin supposedly in order to have fun or to have you 706 01:07:58,679 --> 01:08:04,039 know, vibrancy, life, creativity. Color comes through basically through sin. 707 01:08:06,679 --> 01:08:10,880 So I mean, that's actually what the story is about. That's literally the 708 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:15,719 narrative of the movie. That's not my interpretation, that's actually what it's about. 709 01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:19,840 So again, where my superchatter is that, yes, you could also 710 01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:23,920 do a fifth Element. We did a whole breakdown a fifth Element as well 711 01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:32,560 tonight's list. I don't guess it's completely exhaustive, because there's always it's always 712 01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:36,920 another gnostic narrative somewhere. A lot of the Black Mirror episodes, which we 713 01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:42,439 covered here in this podcast, you could find there. But we did Fifth 714 01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:47,359 Element in three years ago. Here's me and Jamie doing Fifth Element right here, 715 01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:55,239 and it's absolutely agnostic as well. Miladjovich plays Leelu, who is the 716 01:08:55,319 --> 01:09:00,520 incarnation of the goddess figure she is the fifth element, which is love, 717 01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:06,399 which is also incarnated as Lulu, and so she's the source to overcome Gary 718 01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:11,119 Oldman, the gnostic archetype figure. Again, over and over and over, 719 01:09:11,159 --> 01:09:16,560 you'll see the same narratives, the same structure, the same parallels. There's 720 01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:20,760 also one more forgotten film that we have mentioned. I'll just mention it here 721 01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:32,119 in Passing with Sorcia Ronan and Bill Murray. It's a young adult film as 722 01:09:32,119 --> 01:09:34,399 well, but it's also I think it pretty good. It's a pretty good 723 01:09:34,399 --> 01:09:42,600 film, same story. You have a time capsule where there's a secret that's 724 01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:48,439 been hidden from everybody and the youth discover the secret of the underground city. 725 01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:53,640 It's very similar to THHX one three eight, but it's also a lot of 726 01:09:53,840 --> 01:10:00,119 really well done art direction, really good cinematography, So of a secret society 727 01:10:00,199 --> 01:10:06,039 narrative going on to keep the suppress the truth, and then when they discover 728 01:10:06,119 --> 01:10:10,479 what's really going on there, you have, as you can see the path 729 01:10:11,359 --> 01:10:15,600 out of Plato's allegory of the cave basically right, So it's another allegory of 730 01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:19,880 the cave structure story. I recommend it just if you're looking for a decent 731 01:10:20,239 --> 01:10:27,199 film but again neognostic parallels. Now, let's talk about the Creator, because 732 01:10:27,239 --> 01:10:32,039 everybody's talking about this as if it's this sort of great new sci fi ap 733 01:10:32,159 --> 01:10:35,079 I mean, it's getting some hate, it's not getting total love, but 734 01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:42,279 the critics for the most part, really love it. Obviously, it's it's 735 01:10:42,279 --> 01:10:46,279 about a six or a seven on the woke scale in my view. But 736 01:10:47,079 --> 01:10:51,239 I do want to mention before we get to it, a lesser known story 737 01:10:53,399 --> 01:10:57,079 that I bet, I bet now maybe one or two people I've read it, 738 01:10:57,119 --> 01:11:03,640 But have you ever read the Arthur who was himself an aluminist creep? 739 01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:11,399 Have you read his story The Nine Billion Names of God? One day, 740 01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:15,119 Jamie and I came up we were we were researching Arthur Clark's stuff. We 741 01:11:15,119 --> 01:11:21,359 came upon a sort of a random obscure Arthur C. Clark's story, the 742 01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:25,960 nine Billion Names of God. And we'll go into this a little bit because 743 01:11:26,119 --> 01:11:30,039 it's relevant to this Creator movie. I don't know if the writer or the 744 01:11:30,079 --> 01:11:33,000 people that came up with it were familiar with this or not. This is 745 01:11:33,039 --> 01:11:38,680 just my own, my own association that this is what it reminded me of. 746 01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:44,000 And we're going to notice the parallels to the Buddhist thought in this, 747 01:11:44,119 --> 01:11:48,960 as well as parallels to other Arthur C. Clark a sort of aluminist philosophy. 748 01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:54,239 Of course, Clark wrote twenty one, a space Odyssey, The Sentinel, 749 01:11:54,319 --> 01:11:59,079 a lot of what went into you know, the Kuberc story. Crib 750 01:11:59,359 --> 01:12:02,520 changed the plot a little bit for two thousand and one, but Clark wrote 751 01:12:02,359 --> 01:12:09,800 three twenty ten, which is all about Luciferian initiation, and three thousand and 752 01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:14,199 one, which is about full on transhumanism because Howl and Bowman unite to become 753 01:12:14,239 --> 01:12:20,159 Hallman in that story. Arthur cy Clark also was reported to be kind of 754 01:12:20,239 --> 01:12:24,359 chilling and hanging out in the Crowley circles. So I don't know if that's 755 01:12:24,359 --> 01:12:28,199 ever been I don't know that's for sure, But I don't know if he 756 01:12:28,239 --> 01:12:30,279 actually went to the Abbey of Thelema, but I wouldn't be surprised. I 757 01:12:30,279 --> 01:12:34,399 think there's rumors that he did. But that's not surprising because of course Crowley 758 01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:42,199 was also hanging out with Huxley and partying together with Huxley. So again, 759 01:12:42,239 --> 01:12:47,079 a lot of these people are running in the same circles. And before we 760 01:12:47,119 --> 01:12:51,079 do that, they'll want to remind you that we have another great sponsor who 761 01:12:51,119 --> 01:12:57,760 you can link in the show description there Chalk dot com. There's the link 762 01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:00,319 in the show description too. Chok What is CHOK Well, it's the best 763 01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:09,199 place to get online supplementation if you're interested in becoming healthy, it becoming no 764 01:13:09,319 --> 01:13:15,199 longer nutrient deficient, becoming having a well regulated system, including your mind, 765 01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:23,000 because a lot of Chalks products are beneficial for not just male vitality, but 766 01:13:23,119 --> 01:13:28,760 also mental focus and clarity products like shelage. For example, if you head 767 01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:31,199 on over to chalk dot com and use the promoco J fifty that's Ji five 768 01:13:31,279 --> 01:13:35,840 zero, you can get fifty percent off all of those products, including the 769 01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:44,920 mitochondrial energy production product known as Sheila. JIT promotes lean muscle mass. It 770 01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:51,039 helps the body absorb and use cocuten promote circulation including nitric oxide production. It 771 01:13:51,119 --> 01:13:57,119 supports collagen production, make you look pretty to make you look like like a 772 01:13:57,119 --> 01:14:00,640 fancy boil on the internet, a diva, as some have said about me. 773 01:14:02,079 --> 01:14:05,920 It is patented and it has been the subject of eight different studies which 774 01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:10,119 you can read over at chalk dot com if you're interested in seeing the actual 775 01:14:11,119 --> 01:14:14,920 research over there. But again, this is great for testosterone support. If 776 01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:17,920 you get the Sheila jet tom ketaly that's what you see there. That's great 777 01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:21,960 for boosting testosterone and guys. Girls can also take this. It actually can 778 01:14:23,039 --> 01:14:30,439 up the ladies metabolism of Mojo two. But daily that's great for making up 779 01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:34,359 for nutrient deficient diets that we have right, so it's an overall approach to 780 01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:44,359 being nutrient proficient and not deficient. For the females, you can get the 781 01:14:44,359 --> 01:14:47,479 Female Vitality stack as well. There's the Shelagit that I just read about the 782 01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:51,840 pros to she Lagit. There's also Irish moss, great for sort of balancing 783 01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:57,840 out the ladies hormones, as well as the Ashwell Ganda. See, I 784 01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:03,279 think I do have some new facts here on that to mention really quick. 785 01:15:10,239 --> 01:15:13,840 No, here we go, And I was going to tell you about the 786 01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:17,319 products like the Daily that you see there. This is a men's only. 787 01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:24,479 The Daily there all the other chalk products except for the men Men's only there 788 01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:28,600 that they're unisex, but the Daily is just for men. And this is 789 01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:33,000 also helps to further testoscerone as well as the ton ketaly. It enhances focus 790 01:15:33,079 --> 01:15:42,000 by promoting dopamine receptor. Dopamine reception. The testoscerone here is extremely important for 791 01:15:42,159 --> 01:15:45,720 mood, motivation and competence. So this is really an overall approach to testosterone 792 01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:53,399 boosting. Again promotes a circulation increase through nitric oxide production. Again that helps 793 01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:59,640 with your mojo. This supports mitochondrial energy production as well and collagen. So 794 01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:03,039 definitely, if you're a dude, you want to help boost this that you 795 01:16:03,039 --> 01:16:08,960 want to get on the rights, you want this, you just you just 796 01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:11,680 just trust me heading over to talk. You don't have to get this. 797 01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:15,319 You can get basically any of the products on their own as well, so 798 01:16:15,399 --> 01:16:19,079 you can find all of that over here as well as the studies over at 799 01:16:19,159 --> 01:16:23,079 chalk dot Com. Use the promoco J fifty to get fifty percent off. 800 01:16:23,159 --> 01:16:27,640 Also use the promoco J five three life to get fifty three percent off all 801 01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:34,520 recurring subscriptions. So let's get back over here to creator. Now, let's 802 01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:45,199 talk about the overall structure of this story, which we have basically this brother 803 01:16:45,359 --> 01:16:49,479 who is is on a sort of a black Ops mission. Right, He's 804 01:16:49,479 --> 01:16:51,960 sent on this Black Ops mission. As far as we can tell, we 805 01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:57,920 don't know exactly what's going on, and he's got him a nice Asian lady 806 01:16:58,039 --> 01:17:04,359 that he has put a bun in the oven with, and we think everything's 807 01:17:04,359 --> 01:17:08,880 going good. We think they're having a nice time, and then a bunch 808 01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:15,840 of would look to be future marines invade and basically blow everything up, and 809 01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:20,680 we find out there's a giant drone which is known as Nomad, which is 810 01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:28,079 run by the new reconstituted America of the future. And the reason that they've 811 01:17:28,079 --> 01:17:32,600 created this Nomad drone is because at some point in the near future from US 812 01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:36,880 from where we are today, there was an AI nuke that went off and 813 01:17:38,039 --> 01:17:43,520 basically it destroyed La. La was nuked, killed a million people, and 814 01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:53,239 so the American government reconstitutes and bands AI. AI finds refuge in Eurasia, 815 01:17:53,479 --> 01:18:00,000 particularly in China, and so the US declares war on China over AI, 816 01:18:00,279 --> 01:18:05,119 and the US creates, as a product of the military industrial Complex, this 817 01:18:05,239 --> 01:18:11,399 giant mega drone, which is a weapon that kind of floats like a giant 818 01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:18,319 sort of neuralink over countries and it basically can bomb any place as a super 819 01:18:18,399 --> 01:18:23,479 mega decapitation weapon. So it's a giant drone that basically can just move over 820 01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:27,479 any place and then bomb the crap out of you. With tactical nukes, 821 01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:31,159 and so the US has basically declared war on AI. Now all of this, 822 01:18:31,239 --> 01:18:34,199 I think is a pretty interesting plotline, right. This is not the 823 01:18:34,359 --> 01:18:41,119 standard kind of sci fi gibber jabber that we get with AI, but stories 824 01:18:41,119 --> 01:18:44,319 and narratives. But you know, so far this was pretty good, And 825 01:18:44,399 --> 01:18:45,319 for the first third of the movie, I was like, this is a 826 01:18:45,319 --> 01:18:53,399 lot of potential to be pretty pretty badass. Then we find out that, 827 01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:59,840 no, there's more to the story because, and I have to say, 828 01:18:59,880 --> 01:19:02,239 I called it right from the get go. I said, spoiler alert, 829 01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:12,119 the young child that is the mcguffin of the movie. The child mcguffin is 830 01:19:12,159 --> 01:19:18,880 actually the offspring of a kind of the Brother Man and the Asian woman, 831 01:19:19,239 --> 01:19:27,239 and this child is the future Savior who will synthesize and reconcile the humans in 832 01:19:27,239 --> 01:19:30,960 the AI that are in battle together. What do you know, I was, 833 01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:36,600 I was right from twenty to thirty seconds of seeing the trailer, I 834 01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:41,319 already figured out the entire plot. How did I know that? Well, 835 01:19:41,359 --> 01:19:47,319 because they don't typically put out blockbusters like this that aren't gonna have propaganda in 836 01:19:47,359 --> 01:19:51,960 them, and not all propaganda is over. You can have very subtle propaganda. 837 01:19:53,039 --> 01:19:57,720 For example, Spielberg's AI, which definitely influenced this film quite a bit, 838 01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:01,800 has a very anti human narrative to it. It's basically, the AI 839 01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:05,399 are the victims and the humans are the perpetrators of all evil, and so 840 01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:14,000 AI and cyborgs or whatever they need human rights and that will be that will 841 01:20:14,039 --> 01:20:19,600 come in the future. I don't believe that AI and robots are sentient, 842 01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:28,199 but the establishment will run a giant scam and they will tell everybody that cyborgs 843 01:20:28,199 --> 01:20:31,119 and androids and bots and AI are alive and they're all equivalent, and they 844 01:20:31,119 --> 01:20:36,960 all have rights, and they will eventually because the Establishment is completely anti human. 845 01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:45,079 They are Malthusian and they are the architects of AI. They will then 846 01:20:45,159 --> 01:20:49,560 say that humans are the bad entities that need to go away. So basically, 847 01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:58,800 they're all depop Malthusian transhumanists. That is the antish point from which this 848 01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:02,560 film comes. Absolutely. Now, the film is not actually presenting the need 849 01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:06,279 for all of the humans to die, So I will give it one point 850 01:21:06,319 --> 01:21:14,520 because it's not explicitly a deepop story. Because you think early on that the 851 01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:16,439 AI want to depop everybody, right, you think, oh, the AI, 852 01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:20,560 it's Skynet, it's Terminator. So the first third half of the movie 853 01:21:20,600 --> 01:21:24,640 was pretty good because you're thinking that it's that kind of a story where, 854 01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:29,479 oh, this is going to be another Skynet. You know, Skynet's trying 855 01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:32,520 to take out all the humans. We've seen this story before, and then 856 01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:36,399 it flips. Turns out no, but this is kind of obvious in my 857 01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:46,199 view. The humans fake flagged the AI and blame the AI for the nuke 858 01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:55,039 when it was not the AI. It was a human error, as is 859 01:21:55,119 --> 01:22:00,760 later explained by the bots, a human error encoding caused the to go off. 860 01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:04,399 Oops oops oops, I put in nuke go off, dot exc and 861 01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:10,840 I hit return My bad and the nuke went off. Whose fault? Does 862 01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:17,000 it? Blame the bots? So Pentagon blames the bots, and then the 863 01:22:17,079 --> 01:22:25,560 bots later explain to our protagonist character that no, it was a fake flag 864 01:22:26,319 --> 01:22:30,920 and we AI bots, we are innocent, we love you, and so 865 01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,039 the story flips. But that was all obvious. It was so obvious that 866 01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:41,279 it wasn't the bots that did this. No, it was the humans fault. 867 01:22:41,319 --> 01:22:43,359 And you see, humans are bad, and that's what the bots then 868 01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:47,199 say. We are virtuous, we don't make errors. You make errors, 869 01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:53,239 right now, that's the overall plot. And then we find out, as 870 01:22:53,279 --> 01:23:00,840 you spoiler alert, that the child of the Ai, the child of the 871 01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:05,199 black guy and the Asian woman, is not exactly his child, but she 872 01:23:06,159 --> 01:23:12,000 took from the baby that they were gonna have, and she modeled a new 873 01:23:12,119 --> 01:23:16,319 fetus that would be an Ai that could grow and mature. It's another it's 874 01:23:16,359 --> 01:23:24,039 almost a female type of annunciation Jesus incarnation, right, So it's you have 875 01:23:24,119 --> 01:23:28,520 a kind of mirror of the annunciation to the woman. And as we've seen 876 01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:32,199 many times over, dark goddess savior archetype. It's not a guy. It's 877 01:23:32,279 --> 01:23:39,680 a female gnostic goddess who gives birth to a woman, the dark goddess Savior 878 01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:45,159 archetype once again. And so the child that she gives miraculous birth to, 879 01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:49,359 it's it's actually described as an Ai miracle. Here's the other interesting point. 880 01:23:49,399 --> 01:24:00,439 The Ai have a religious belief, the Ai and their compatriots and religion who 881 01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:06,520 are Eastern Asian Buddhists. I'm not joking. The Ai religion is Buddhism and 882 01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:15,279 Buddhists together, because you'll notice they have Buddhist monks and it looks like Tibetan 883 01:24:15,279 --> 01:24:17,960 Buddhism. I'm guessing. I mean, I'm pretty sure that by the end 884 01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:21,159 of the film, when they get up to the top of that it looks 885 01:24:21,199 --> 01:24:26,880 like Himalayas or whatever they find that Buddhist monastery, it looks like Tibetan Buddhism 886 01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:30,479 because of all the carved architecture. The Tibetan Buddhists have actually carved an Ai 887 01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:34,720 bought as one of their deities or symbols of deities. Right now, if 888 01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:41,079 you don't know, Tibetan Buddhism is different than mainline Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhism is 889 01:24:41,159 --> 01:24:50,439 a specific Buddhism is very still attached to the older indigenous animism and paganism that 890 01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:55,840 was prior to Buddhism. And so, for example, a lot of Tibetan 891 01:24:55,880 --> 01:25:01,520 Buddhists really try to meditate and into and reached the gods, so they actually 892 01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:06,880 believe in like demons and gods and spirits and stuff, right, So they're 893 01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:13,720 not as atheistic as a lot of other types of Buddhism. Now, again 894 01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:16,279 this is not my field of study and not any kind of expert in Buddhism. 895 01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:21,439 But I do know more about Buddhism and relationship to intelligence operations, actually 896 01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:28,800 because for many who are not aware, Tibetan Buddhism has also been an operation 897 01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:32,680 that the CIA has relied a lot upon. For example, the particularly the 898 01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:38,159 character of the Dalai Lama at least as late as the seventies and eighties was 899 01:25:38,199 --> 01:25:41,239 receiving a lot of CIA money. Openly, this is an open thing. 900 01:25:41,279 --> 01:25:45,239 It's covered in La Times and as well as many other publications. I first 901 01:25:45,279 --> 01:25:50,560 heard about this because Ingdall covers it in for Full Spectrum Dominance. The's a 902 01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:57,359 whole chapter on CIA use of Free Tibet. Free Tibet, for those that 903 01:25:57,439 --> 01:26:06,520 don't know, was a famous CIA operation and it had to do with geopolitical 904 01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:12,720 strategies against China. And it's all public. This is not a conspiracy. 905 01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:16,560 Well known. I've known about this for at least ten twelve years. CIA 906 01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:21,640 Tibet program was an anti Chinese Covide operation spanning twenty years. It consisted of 907 01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:29,600 political action, propaganda, paramilitary operations facilitated by with brothers of the fourteenth Dalai 908 01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:32,239 Lama, who was not initially aware of them yet, right, I don't 909 01:26:32,239 --> 01:26:36,800 believe that the State of Goal program was to keep the political conception about autonomous 910 01:26:38,119 --> 01:26:44,479 Tibet alive within the region amongst several four nations. The program was administered by 911 01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:53,319 the CIA and in coordination with the State Department and the DoD. Public record 912 01:26:53,520 --> 01:27:00,479 right of nineteen sixty four was two million dollars have been spent on the Tibet 913 01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:03,319 operation. This goes back to the Nixon era out missus, old school stuff. 914 01:27:04,319 --> 01:27:09,239 And for those that don't know, this is also why tiny Mustache man 915 01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:18,079 he had people making connections with the Dalai Lama, our buddy Mark Hackard. 916 01:27:18,239 --> 01:27:25,640 This goes actually goes back to the era of the original Great Game and older. 917 01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:31,239 So if you don't know, this goes back to the Tzar. The 918 01:27:31,319 --> 01:27:43,399 Czar actually would send envoys and spies. Why is that networking? Hopefully espionas 919 01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:48,079 history archive isn't down anyway, but there's a there's an article at Espiona's history 920 01:27:48,159 --> 01:27:58,159 archive on the Tzar and Tibet. So this isn't actually an old geostrategic strategy 921 01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:05,199 for any empires to try to have influence in this region. Obviously. Why 922 01:28:05,239 --> 01:28:11,560 it's I mean, it's an amazing it's a very important locations what I'm trying 923 01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:14,880 to say, And it doesn't just go back to the CIA. Actually goes 924 01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:18,279 back to World War Two with tiny mustache man wanting to have influence with the 925 01:28:18,359 --> 01:28:20,840 Dali Lama at that time, and it goes back to the Czar, and 926 01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:27,319 I'm sure it goes back even older into older olden times of spy stuff that 927 01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:31,359 few of us even know about anyway. So that's the CIA to Thatt program. 928 01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:35,600 You can find a lot of old articles that discuss this CI in Tibet 929 01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:45,479 Small Small, Small Wars Journal. This is a famous journal covering this like 930 01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:47,800 that. Redators are just figuring this out. Like two years ago, the 931 01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:55,760 CIA find us a Diali Lama? What what? What? No way? 932 01:28:56,000 --> 01:29:02,760 Wait? Yeah, because it was in public places, in publications like La 933 01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:10,439 Times in the nineteen nineties. For much of the nineteen sixties, the CIA 934 01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:14,039 provided the tibetan x All movement with two million dollars as operations against China. 935 01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:17,720 Uh. In fact, the Dali Alumba got one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. 936 01:29:19,279 --> 01:29:25,119 Now that's quite a bit in sixties money. And for those that don't 937 01:29:25,159 --> 01:29:33,560 know, there is the there's a great book on Tibetan Buddhism by Victor. 938 01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:47,239 I wonder if that's still online Tremunday, But that's no longer online, is 939 01:29:47,279 --> 01:29:51,439 it Tramundi? I don't know if it's that guy. Let me see if 940 01:29:51,439 --> 01:30:04,840 I can find that book. Maybe it is this guy. I bet it. 941 01:30:05,079 --> 01:30:09,880 So this is so Victor Tamani. This is him. But that's in 942 01:30:10,239 --> 01:30:16,439 German. So there used to be a website that had all this translated into 943 01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:24,960 English. Here we go, this is it? Yeah, shadow the Deli 944 01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:28,319 along. I think this is it. Yes, I can't believe this is 945 01:30:28,359 --> 01:30:32,119 still up. So there's a whole book on this. I read this years. 946 01:30:32,159 --> 01:30:36,800 This is probably rather long time ago. Now this doesn't get into the 947 01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:42,159 intelligence stuff. This gets into critiquing the dark side of this, the religious 948 01:30:42,159 --> 01:30:49,039 side of the Bat Buddhism. So here you see tantrasm male female weirdness. 949 01:30:50,199 --> 01:30:57,880 There's quite a few fascinating chapters in Victor's book here. I wonder if this 950 01:30:57,920 --> 01:31:00,800 is in English. I'd like to have this actual English trans Lesha can't read 951 01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:09,560 his German. But if you're looking for a full on critique of the skull, 952 01:31:09,640 --> 01:31:16,159 duggery and weirdness of Tibetan Buddhism. Here is Victor's English book, but 953 01:31:16,239 --> 01:31:23,000 there's also I remember him covering a long time ago the Dalai Lama and the 954 01:31:23,159 --> 01:31:36,079 relations to Tiny Mustache Man. Let me see, And you're saying, well, 955 01:31:36,079 --> 01:31:41,199 how does that relate, Well, yes, it does relate to Himmler's 956 01:31:41,359 --> 01:31:47,600 trip. Right, everybody knows about Himler sending the delegation to try to find 957 01:31:47,640 --> 01:31:55,239 the ascended masters and all that, right, But there was also alliances, 958 01:31:55,319 --> 01:32:00,079 or they tried to make alliances between Tiny Mustache Man and the Dalai Lama at 959 01:32:00,119 --> 01:32:15,199 the time. That's not it anyway, And you could see why because right 960 01:32:15,239 --> 01:32:19,760 that the Dalai Lama is in that region supposedly where a lot of the himl 961 01:32:20,319 --> 01:32:28,359 mythology believes that we that the Teutonic Aryan race descends from, right, so 962 01:32:28,439 --> 01:32:31,600 that mythology goes back to Himalayas and all that. That's why Hindler sends his 963 01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:36,760 delegation. Thus, you could see the interest in the Dalai Lama. But 964 01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:42,399 it's not just that mythology and stuff. I mean, I think Himler really 965 01:32:42,439 --> 01:32:47,359 believed that mythology. But what I'm saying is that this region is also key 966 01:32:47,399 --> 01:32:56,159 for geostrategic espionage. Purposes, right, And we know that Bolvatsky and other 967 01:32:56,159 --> 01:33:01,520 people right were they would engage in espionage work under the cover of going to 968 01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:05,720 try to find the ascended masters. And so the same things going on with 969 01:33:08,560 --> 01:33:10,520 Dali Lama. Anyway, I don't know how do we get on Dolly Lama. 970 01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:14,800 Oh, that all underlies a lot of the philosophy going on in this 971 01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:20,520 movie. That's how we got to that so far eastern stuff. Right here 972 01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:28,039 we have the notion not just of Buddhism and Gnosticism. But listen to the 973 01:33:28,119 --> 01:33:30,479 story that Jamie and I read a couple of years ago. This is the 974 01:33:31,119 --> 01:33:34,399 Arthur C. Clark's story the nine Billion Names of God. You say, 975 01:33:34,439 --> 01:33:38,319 well, why would there be nine billion names of God? Well, one 976 01:33:38,359 --> 01:33:42,279 thing that's interesting about the names of God is that in Kobbolism you have the 977 01:33:42,319 --> 01:33:47,239 idea that the created order comes to be through the power names of God. 978 01:33:47,439 --> 01:33:51,720 Right, And so if you, as an individual can master these symbols and 979 01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:57,039 these names, you can become a creator, like God's a creator. That's 980 01:33:57,039 --> 01:34:02,079 a bunch of magic. Who who do apparently? And again I don't know 981 01:34:02,119 --> 01:34:09,279 a lot about Tibetan Buddhism and so forth, but Apparently there are similar parallels 982 01:34:09,319 --> 01:34:14,560 to the deeper dark side of the Betan Buddhism with perhaps Cobblism. And that's 983 01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:21,000 not surprising because a lot of the world religions oftentimes have a similar idea of 984 01:34:21,039 --> 01:34:26,800 the structure of the world right coming to be through sound. And these are 985 01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:33,039 again probably primal logo spermaticos. Right, They're traditions that ultimately do go back 986 01:34:33,039 --> 01:34:40,359 to the Bible, but they get corrupted and turned into superstitious magical thinking right 987 01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:44,119 where there's many gods, or you can become a god. Right. But 988 01:34:44,279 --> 01:34:47,399 the idea, for example, that God speaks to created order into existence is 989 01:34:47,439 --> 01:34:51,039 true. But some of the far Eastern religions then believe that if you can 990 01:34:51,039 --> 01:34:57,079 find those frequencies and those verbal intonations, you can become a creator god. 991 01:34:57,199 --> 01:35:01,279 Right, you can be palm Wi deep right, you can have the weirding 992 01:35:01,359 --> 01:35:12,039 way right, which is again same idea. So here that was one of 993 01:35:12,079 --> 01:35:15,600 the Buddhists. You see, here's the Buddhist The Ai are Buddhist monks, 994 01:35:15,720 --> 01:35:20,840 many of them, but they worked together with Buddhists in the East. Because 995 01:35:21,079 --> 01:35:26,439 Americans have decided to go to war. We blow him up, blow everything. 996 01:35:28,199 --> 01:35:30,560 I do like this. They perfectly cast this general though. He was 997 01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:32,960 one of the best, actually one of the best side characters, because he's 998 01:35:33,039 --> 01:35:38,399 like this perfect sort of Kissinger. General guy even sounds like Kissinger and has 999 01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:41,600 he looks kind of like younger Kissinger. That guy was a perfect General. 1000 01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:46,880 They cast him perfectly. Anyway, Nomad is the Drome, I think, 1001 01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:50,840 the big super drum, because that's supposed to be no Rad, right, 1002 01:35:50,880 --> 01:35:56,960 So Nora Rad gets reconstituted as Nomad, which is now this giant eye in 1003 01:35:57,000 --> 01:36:03,319 the sky and the Ai product miracle virgin birth child. I mean, it's 1004 01:36:03,319 --> 01:36:09,920 not a virgin birth, but the it kind of is, because the girl 1005 01:36:10,159 --> 01:36:16,880 is created on the pattern of the baby that the Asian woman had from the 1006 01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:25,239 Black guy. The synthesis of these two produces the future, which is this 1007 01:36:25,600 --> 01:36:32,800 Ai female girl who grows and grows to master her powers to even overcome the 1008 01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:40,479 created order, so she can basically meditate and tap into any robotic or computer 1009 01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:43,920 thing to either shut it off or destroy it or whatever. Right, So 1010 01:36:43,960 --> 01:36:48,399 she's a dark gnostic savior archetype. But it's a direct parallel to the incarnation. 1011 01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:55,520 And they even have this this sort of exodus motif of you know, 1012 01:36:55,560 --> 01:37:02,760 when Moses floats down the river as the child that's being protected from Pharaoh killing 1013 01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:09,920 the first born of Egypt, the you know in Christ and the Holy Family, 1014 01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:15,640 they flee go to Egypt to get around Herod's persecution. Exact same motif 1015 01:37:15,720 --> 01:37:19,119 here, exact same story, the Moses story, the Jesus story. But 1016 01:37:19,279 --> 01:37:26,199 now it's a girl. It's the female gnostic, dark goddess savior archetype, 1017 01:37:26,479 --> 01:37:29,600 clear as day. Pretty wild. Now what about this story that I'm talking 1018 01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:31,680 about, Well, how does it tell you? In The Nine Billion Names 1019 01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:36,000 of God, it is a short story by the British born science fiction writer 1020 01:37:36,159 --> 01:37:41,600 Arthur Clark. Arthur C. Clark published in nineteen fifty three in an anthology. 1021 01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:45,159 It's a short tale about religion, computers, and the apocalypse. The 1022 01:37:45,279 --> 01:37:48,479 nine Billion Names of God deserves its own analysis, and we're going to read 1023 01:37:48,479 --> 01:37:53,279 this. I'll link this analysis here in a minute. I guess I should 1024 01:37:53,279 --> 01:37:55,079 have just put it up on the screen for you guys, if you want. 1025 01:37:55,239 --> 01:38:00,720 But this is a literary professor, I think is an Now his analysis 1026 01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:11,920 here and so the word begins with the Dalai Lama making an unusual request of 1027 01:38:11,960 --> 01:38:16,359 a doctor Wagner who is it works in computing. The Lama wishes to hire 1028 01:38:16,399 --> 01:38:23,359 an automatic sequence computer from Wagner's company and have it transported to the Tibetan Mountains 1029 01:38:23,399 --> 01:38:27,199 so that it can carry out these unusual functions. The unusual function is this, 1030 01:38:27,880 --> 01:38:31,800 the monks have been trying for years, three centuries to find out all 1031 01:38:31,800 --> 01:38:35,720 of the names of God, having narrowed down the range to the possible letters 1032 01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:39,439 of nine. Nine by the way, and the occult is a number of 1033 01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:44,359 initiation the features in a special alphabet devised by these monks, they now wish 1034 01:38:44,399 --> 01:38:47,479 to discover all the various combinations by which God could be known. The computer 1035 01:38:47,680 --> 01:38:53,840 will mean that a tack the computer will mean that a task which was set 1036 01:38:53,920 --> 01:38:57,319 to take the monk's fifteen thousand years can now be done by the computer in 1037 01:38:57,359 --> 01:39:00,520 a much shorter time. The next scene where transported to the Tibetan Mountains, 1038 01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:05,319 where an American computer engineer named George Hanley's part of a team working with the 1039 01:39:05,359 --> 01:39:12,520 computer to complete the monk's request. The computer processes all the possible combinations of 1040 01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:15,680 the nine letters put in, the printing them out, and an electronic typewriter 1041 01:39:15,760 --> 01:39:17,880 on the paper which the monks then put into books. So here we have 1042 01:39:17,920 --> 01:39:23,239 a new Bible almost of the Ai right, so it's like Cobbalism, but 1043 01:39:23,840 --> 01:39:30,720 now it's Buddhist Ai Bible. And remember noiv all Harari said that Ai would 1044 01:39:30,800 --> 01:39:34,399 rewrite the Bible and give us a new Bible, which is exactly what Arthur 1045 01:39:34,439 --> 01:39:40,600 C. Clarke is talking about. The monks then scrutinize all the letter combinations 1046 01:39:41,039 --> 01:39:46,039 and the computer that the computer produces. Handley thinks that the monks are insane 1047 01:39:46,039 --> 01:39:48,800 for wanting to do this, and he's anxious to return to America and leave 1048 01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:54,000 this project behind. He talks to Chuck, who's another American working on the 1049 01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:57,600 project, and Chuck tells him that he's discovered that the monks believed this will 1050 01:39:57,600 --> 01:40:00,000 happen when all the various names of God are discovered, then will come the 1051 01:40:00,119 --> 01:40:05,119 end, So the apocalypse comes when this code is solved. They discussed delaying 1052 01:40:05,159 --> 01:40:11,359 the computer's completion so to consult coincides with their departure from the valley because they're 1053 01:40:11,359 --> 01:40:15,960 worried about the monks growing angry with them and their computer when nothing when nothing 1054 01:40:16,039 --> 01:40:20,760 happens once the computer has completed this task, Although I Hanley rejects this idea, 1055 01:40:21,079 --> 01:40:27,079 they go on with the plan. Seven days later, two men are 1056 01:40:27,159 --> 01:40:30,079 riding in their airplane which will fly them back to the United States, and 1057 01:40:30,199 --> 01:40:32,840 nightfalls. As they travel through the darkness with the aid of torches, they 1058 01:40:32,880 --> 01:40:38,159 discuss the computer will be putting the finishing touches on the calculations about this point. 1059 01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:42,399 And then Chuck notices something in the sky, and the two men look 1060 01:40:42,479 --> 01:40:46,039 up and the stars are going out, and thus the apocalypse ensues. So 1061 01:40:46,159 --> 01:40:55,880 we have a gnostic presentation that once this machine has processed and discovered the totality 1062 01:40:55,920 --> 01:41:00,000 of reality, namely the names of God, you get this apocalypse in the 1063 01:41:00,039 --> 01:41:08,279 end of the world because now the emergent the deusex Mashana has emerged from within 1064 01:41:08,439 --> 01:41:12,560 the machine, within the world. God has become incarnated within the world through 1065 01:41:13,199 --> 01:41:16,359 AI and the machine discovering all the secrets of the names of God, which 1066 01:41:16,399 --> 01:41:20,720 is how reality is constructed, constructed supposedly through the names of God. So 1067 01:41:20,760 --> 01:41:30,319 basically, the computer has now achieved full divine omniscience essentions. The literary analysts 1068 01:41:30,319 --> 01:41:33,199 will see, we'll see what he says. Clark's story focuses on the world 1069 01:41:33,279 --> 01:41:41,439 of modern tech and the realm of ancient mysticism. The Buddhist monks belief that 1070 01:41:41,479 --> 01:41:44,079 if they can discover the nine million names of God, the universe will end, 1071 01:41:44,159 --> 01:41:45,960 since the human race will have achieved what it was created to do to 1072 01:41:46,079 --> 01:41:50,319 find God. So God is not a personal being, it's a technology. 1073 01:41:51,680 --> 01:41:58,439 Many gnostic and world religions that are false do not believe in a personal God, 1074 01:41:58,479 --> 01:42:00,720 but a God that emerges from within a da usex mosion that is like 1075 01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:05,199 a technology. We might have said that the story fuses Oriental religion with modern 1076 01:42:05,319 --> 01:42:10,039 science. Clark devotes a substantial portion of the first section, which, by 1077 01:42:10,079 --> 01:42:14,359 the way, is what theosophy attempted to do, reminding us to Betan monks 1078 01:42:14,479 --> 01:42:17,479 don't have reliable access to electricity, for example, so they're lacking something. 1079 01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:20,359 So in other words, the fusion of the East and the West is what's 1080 01:42:20,399 --> 01:42:24,800 needed, and that's the synthesis. By the way of the movie, The 1081 01:42:24,840 --> 01:42:31,359 Creator, the Child is the dialectical synthesis between Eurasian communism and wholism in Western 1082 01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:40,279 technology and capitalism and individualism. Its synthesizes into this new divine, feminine ai 1083 01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:45,399 child that is produced the female Jesus, which is exactly by the way, 1084 01:42:45,439 --> 01:42:53,560 what the deluded feminist cult leader, woman Flora Tristan said, if you read 1085 01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:58,000 the Billington book, she thought she was the new synthesis and the new female 1086 01:42:58,079 --> 01:43:01,119 savior to save us from the tear any of the patriarchal gods of the past, 1087 01:43:02,199 --> 01:43:06,239 and that she would usher in a new utopia as this movie presents. 1088 01:43:06,279 --> 01:43:10,800 By the way, the peace, the time of Peace and Synthesis comes about 1089 01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:15,239 when the child who is also a weapon, the dark gnostic goddess savior type 1090 01:43:15,279 --> 01:43:20,119 savior archetype. She's taken on board the mass of drone, the Nomad, 1091 01:43:20,640 --> 01:43:27,399 and she meditates and helps destroy it right because she can hack into all attack. 1092 01:43:27,479 --> 01:43:32,159 But they bring a bomb up there as well. But but back to 1093 01:43:32,199 --> 01:43:36,159 this Arthur Clark tale is a tale apocalypse, the end of the world, 1094 01:43:36,159 --> 01:43:41,279 but rather than focused on the ecological disaster or nukes as much of the sci 1095 01:43:41,319 --> 01:43:44,760 fi at the time, did Clark's tales about the human race coming to nosis 1096 01:43:44,920 --> 01:43:49,319 knowledge of a mystical kind, which marks this supreme achievement of knowing God. 1097 01:43:49,760 --> 01:43:54,760 Now, it's not knowing God in the sense of a personal relationship that you 1098 01:43:54,840 --> 01:44:00,920 know a person. It's knowing God in a gnostic sense of mastering the factual 1099 01:44:00,399 --> 01:44:06,239 technological knowledge of a emergent God of Ai. You see totally different idea of 1100 01:44:06,239 --> 01:44:12,520 what it means to know God. Indeed, there is something of Louis Borges 1101 01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:15,680 fiction in The Nine Billion Names of God, especially in its Ryan playful fusing 1102 01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:20,720 of mysticism with something as surprising utilitarian as a computer the old one. This 1103 01:44:20,800 --> 01:44:26,319 is transhumanist right. The old line that an infinite number of monkeys hammering away 1104 01:44:26,319 --> 01:44:29,800 a tie perriers could visually produced Shakespeare is here given a kind of religious twist. 1105 01:44:30,880 --> 01:44:32,359 The Nine Billion Names of God plays in the idea that on Earth we 1106 01:44:32,520 --> 01:44:38,600 only partially know about God, or a god generic theism, not a personal 1107 01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:41,720 God, and we will only come face to face with this when we have 1108 01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:44,760 left this world behind, or when this world ends. And as since the 1109 01:44:44,800 --> 01:44:48,279 Buddhist monks of Clark's story are seeking to know God by word rather than by 1110 01:44:48,399 --> 01:44:54,760 image words or images, so I disagree with you, professor. But during 1111 01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:59,319 the conversation they draw a link between Tibetan Buddhisms and Buddhism and crack pop preachers 1112 01:44:59,359 --> 01:45:01,399 in Louisiana, who are convinced that the world was coming to an end. 1113 01:45:01,439 --> 01:45:06,159 So ironically, the evangelical in Times people are on the same page as the 1114 01:45:06,239 --> 01:45:12,479 Debutan Buddhist monks. The notion that the devout wanted to want to will the 1115 01:45:12,640 --> 01:45:15,079 end of the world so that they can come closer to God is found in 1116 01:45:15,159 --> 01:45:21,600 many religious texts. That's actually not I mean, we hope that the Christ 1117 01:45:21,680 --> 01:45:26,000 comes Marianatha, but we do not hope for the end of the world, 1118 01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:30,760 as if we want this destruction or chaos or that's ridiculous, right, this 1119 01:45:30,960 --> 01:45:33,000 light is really bright, so want to keep blinking. By the way, 1120 01:45:38,039 --> 01:45:41,720 the description of the apocalypse could not be more anticlimactic. In this story. 1121 01:45:41,840 --> 01:45:44,279 The world ends not even with a whimper let it alone a bang, but 1122 01:45:44,359 --> 01:45:48,000 a mere winking of the stars going out. What is Clark suggesting by this 1123 01:45:48,159 --> 01:45:51,880 ending, Well, one possible interpretation is that he's reminding us that one day 1124 01:45:51,960 --> 01:45:56,439 the world will end. Our sun is on borrow time, blah blah blah. 1125 01:45:57,560 --> 01:46:00,520 There's how does anybody know that the sun is winding down? I mean, 1126 01:46:00,560 --> 01:46:03,520 this is ridiculous speculation that they always talk about, Well, the sun 1127 01:46:03,640 --> 01:46:09,000 will the son will burn out while you're forty four billion. Of course, 1128 01:46:09,039 --> 01:46:14,279 it's unlikely that such rationalism as Clark's philosophy believe that such as Clark believe the 1129 01:46:14,319 --> 01:46:15,720 discovery the name's going to bring out the into the world, he doesn't really 1130 01:46:15,800 --> 01:46:24,000 believe this. Yeah, So again, I think this probably underlies this movie 1131 01:46:24,079 --> 01:46:27,439 to some degree because instead of it being the end of the world in the 1132 01:46:27,520 --> 01:46:36,199 sense of an apocalypse, when the Ai is basically saved in the Buddhist the 1133 01:46:36,239 --> 01:46:41,079 Tibetan Buddhist monastery at the end, that that's their refuge, right, so 1134 01:46:41,199 --> 01:46:44,560 they kind of hold up in their final refuge when they're all about to be 1135 01:46:44,680 --> 01:46:51,520 destroyed and the Mother has to pass away and they talk about her being being 1136 01:46:51,560 --> 01:46:59,119 reincarnated or whatever. It's sort of like the way that you see the Holy 1137 01:46:59,279 --> 01:47:01,600 City surround owned to buy all the enemies of God in the Book of Revelation. 1138 01:47:02,119 --> 01:47:08,560 But here it's not the church, it's this Buddhist Tibetan Buddhist temple, 1139 01:47:08,640 --> 01:47:11,600 which is really the future world religion. I guess you could say of this 1140 01:47:11,800 --> 01:47:17,520 narrative of this story, so Buddhism, then Tibetan Buddhism produces the true holy 1141 01:47:17,720 --> 01:47:23,399 family of Creator, Father, Friend, and Mother, and that's actually the 1142 01:47:23,479 --> 01:47:26,439 story is told in these these these patterns, by the way, if you 1143 01:47:26,479 --> 01:47:31,439 don't. So the first part of the movie is the Creator, which you 1144 01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:38,920 could argue is the black dude or the mom, because the Ai worship this 1145 01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:44,720 god they call Normata, and Normata means I forget exactly what it means, 1146 01:47:44,800 --> 01:47:48,039 but it's the god of the Ai. And you think this whole time that 1147 01:47:48,079 --> 01:47:51,239 it's some dude that they're trying to track down, but it actually turns out 1148 01:47:51,319 --> 01:47:57,640 to be the Chinese woman, right, the woman who's the father to the 1149 01:47:58,279 --> 01:48:01,800 woman that's that's with the black dude. So Creator and then father, who's 1150 01:48:01,880 --> 01:48:06,199 the black guys, those sort of the protagonists, and then there's a friend, 1151 01:48:06,359 --> 01:48:13,119 and then there's Mother, and so the narrative moves from masculine to feminine. 1152 01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:17,119 So we end with this synthesis again between East and West, between male 1153 01:48:17,159 --> 01:48:24,680 and female that produces the humanity of the future. And the film consistently refers 1154 01:48:24,760 --> 01:48:30,359 to evolution as the process that is that you can't stop, and so the 1155 01:48:31,239 --> 01:48:40,199 process that you can't stop that produces the apotheosis of man is a new kind 1156 01:48:40,319 --> 01:48:45,600 of being right, which has these divine powers, which is this synthesis being. 1157 01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:53,239 So it's absolutely Hegelian dialectics that produces the future god Child, who is 1158 01:48:53,319 --> 01:48:58,239 not Jesus but is a woman. There you haven't. That is everything that 1159 01:48:58,319 --> 01:49:01,199 we expected it to be. I called the plot within thirty seconds of watching 1160 01:49:01,239 --> 01:49:05,920 the trailer, and I even said that it'll be like a new Goddess figure, 1161 01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:09,720 right, I mean this is basically like what was the last Resident Evil? 1162 01:49:09,760 --> 01:49:13,560 Remember that one? It was the same thing where it was like Alice 1163 01:49:13,760 --> 01:49:21,399 becomes the Goddess, right, kind of like Leelu, because remember she played 1164 01:49:21,439 --> 01:49:32,399 the same thing. That's the game. I don't want the game. What's 1165 01:49:32,520 --> 01:49:40,119 I've already forgot the name of the last one? Right, Resident Evil movie, 1166 01:49:48,520 --> 01:49:51,880 Final Chapter? That's it. Yeah, so if you remember in final 1167 01:49:51,960 --> 01:50:00,439 Chapter, by the way, they explained that it was the Umbrella Corporation plan 1168 01:50:00,960 --> 01:50:10,640 to depop. Right, there's this sequence where is it Captain friend Zone. 1169 01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:15,960 Yeah, he's the one that runs the Umbrella Corporation and they made the decision 1170 01:50:15,079 --> 01:50:19,199 to do what he called Project Noah, right, which was to mass deepop. 1171 01:50:20,680 --> 01:50:26,840 But they don't care because actually Alice the whole time was the prototype of 1172 01:50:26,880 --> 01:50:31,399 the future human because she's a series of clones and Resident Evil one it began 1173 01:50:31,560 --> 01:50:39,600 as her as a mind controlled Black Ops person. Right, She's a she's 1174 01:50:39,640 --> 01:50:44,439 a Black Ops Private Security Force assassin who's mind controlled. And then it turns 1175 01:50:44,439 --> 01:50:48,000 out that she's cloned. And you never really know what the Umbrella Corporation is 1176 01:50:48,079 --> 01:50:55,199 up to with all this, but ultimately they're mutating humans through skynet AI all 1177 01:50:55,199 --> 01:50:58,520 this kind of stuff to create a future human. And then Alice learns that 1178 01:50:58,680 --> 01:51:02,359 she is the ultimate prototype of the future human. But when she discovers this, 1179 01:51:02,640 --> 01:51:10,159 she basically turns on Captain friend Zone. Right, Captain friend Zone from 1180 01:51:10,560 --> 01:51:14,600 Game of Thrones, Remember the guy that's constantly trying to get with Kalisi and 1181 01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:17,760 she's like, no, dude, you're in the friend zone forever. Well, 1182 01:51:17,880 --> 01:51:24,520 in Resident Evil final chapter, she becomes this quasi divine goddess figure. 1183 01:51:24,600 --> 01:51:30,800 She's a gnostic dark goddess savior archetype because as she's you know, at the 1184 01:51:31,039 --> 01:51:36,439 at the final sequence, she basically starts having like mind over matter powers, 1185 01:51:36,560 --> 01:51:44,000 right, so she's evolved to have mutated to have this almost goddess type power. 1186 01:51:44,279 --> 01:51:48,760 That's exactly what happens in Fifth Element. So basically Miladjovivic again another actress 1187 01:51:48,840 --> 01:51:56,840 that's typically in MK Ultra My Control altar films all the time, and then 1188 01:51:56,880 --> 01:52:00,720 she's also in these sort of clone goddess type films. So there you have 1189 01:52:00,880 --> 01:52:03,720 it. I hope you hopefully enjoyed this. And if you want to read 1190 01:52:03,840 --> 01:52:09,560 the literary analysis for the nine billion Names of God, you can read that 1191 01:52:09,720 --> 01:52:14,000 right here. My voice is going out, so I'll try to read these 1192 01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:16,199 supertists. Goat Mange three dollars, Thank you so much. Candle Jack five 1193 01:52:16,279 --> 01:52:20,039 dollars. Is it a coincidence or do you think that the specific Buddhist religion 1194 01:52:20,560 --> 01:52:25,960 is shown as the creator compatible with Ai and the point of them being AI 1195 01:52:26,079 --> 01:52:31,920 monks. Yes, I think that for the global elites, Eastern religions are 1196 01:52:32,119 --> 01:52:40,359 always more useful for collectivization and social engineering. In fact, you know, 1197 01:52:40,479 --> 01:52:44,359 Huxley says this in The Perennial Philosophy, and we know he's speaking from the 1198 01:52:44,600 --> 01:52:47,920 mouth of the elite that Perennial philosophy, and particularly in that he talks about 1199 01:52:48,000 --> 01:52:54,279 far Eastern philosophies are much more useful for getting every blend, everybody blended into 1200 01:52:54,319 --> 01:52:58,920 the blob for social control. And they actually say that they're going to have 1201 01:52:59,159 --> 01:53:05,760 to inculcate far more Eastern philosophy into the West to have much more controlled, 1202 01:53:05,880 --> 01:53:13,159 malleable mass population. So they always favor those kinds of collectivists views of religion 1203 01:53:14,159 --> 01:53:16,359 over any other, you know, Western types of religion, because in Western 1204 01:53:16,479 --> 01:53:20,359 theology, man is individual, man has made the image of God. There 1205 01:53:20,479 --> 01:53:24,439 is a there is a collective component, which is you know, found in 1206 01:53:24,479 --> 01:53:28,399 the church or within human nature in general. There's no imbalance between the one 1207 01:53:28,439 --> 01:53:33,399 and the many. But far Eastern philosophy as always focused on the one, 1208 01:53:33,600 --> 01:53:38,399 the collective, the unity. Western philosophy, at least since the Enlightenment, 1209 01:53:38,439 --> 01:53:44,720 has focused on what Spain calls Faustian man or is individual desire for individual transcendence 1210 01:53:45,359 --> 01:53:49,640 atimistic individual after you know, post Enlightenment. Ultimately, you know Orthodox theology, 1211 01:53:49,800 --> 01:53:53,960 there's should be a perfect balance between the one and the MANI. Now, 1212 01:53:54,199 --> 01:53:57,880 some Eastern philosophies do talk about a balance between the one and the mini, 1213 01:53:57,960 --> 01:54:01,039 but they actually talk about that balance being a kind of non being, 1214 01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:05,319 which is silly, right. No, No, the balance and the transcendence 1215 01:54:05,319 --> 01:54:09,159 of the one the mini is not the destruction and negation of the one the 1216 01:54:09,159 --> 01:54:15,960 mini. Okay, it's not non being, that's crazy, But no, 1217 01:54:15,119 --> 01:54:18,840 it is not a coincidence, DC Woodworking three dollars.
