We’ve all seen “The Matrix”, right? The story of artificially intelligent machines that harvest human energy by intercepting human sensory perception and replacing it with their architected artificial reality (The Matrix) …
Many believe that our present-day perceptions are shaped by a “machine” of sorts… current power and control structures… and that people are too busy living within its carefully crafted constructs to notice.
This session poses some questions and provides some possible answers in an attempt to make sense of our mainstream reality. It also offers some non-mainstream suggestions which will be entertaining to some and enlightening/empowering to others.
So are we living the Next Renaissance already or is it sitting there just beyond The Matrix?
