  • If we are a computer simulation, I wonder if we'll freak our maker out if we hold up such signs? He'll or she'll think she or he is going nuts!

  • Some professor! Better someone cart the fool away and spare us his "teaching." Yuck.

  • this is beyond ridiculous, if he cautions against holding up a sign to the creator of this "matrix" why is he on television doing just that?

  • Notice the threat given by Irvin at 5:25 - 6:00. He says that the public better continue to buy into the matrix-like Simulacrum, or else.

    Or else what, William?

  • What does it matter if we're in a matrix? Suppose the makers of the matrix game are, themselves, in a matrix, and their creators are in a matrix, and their creators are in a matrix and so on. You'll drive yourself nuts asking that question.

    By the way, Whitehouse=GE=NBC. They are connected by a $126billion bailout.

  • it reminds me of the poem about going to the ends of the earth only to come home and know the place for the first time. Perhaps once we create one of these Quantum computers that can think like this, we'll realise were in one. O_o

  • Unless you have been programmed to think that, in which case you really dont have any control over your perceptions or actions. I.E. you think, therefore you are, because the program deems it so.

    HOWEVER, if you're a reasonably intelligent being, you will probably instead choose to take personal resposibility for your actions, and not waste time on such B.S.

    Unless of course, you believe you have been programmed to think that, in which case, you're back to square one. AAARRGGH!!!

  • what a contradictoy theory!! if u r in a game how can u intiutively know it! and write bout it!! Like irwin has!! there can never be a substitute for homosapiens no virtual reality program can replace the flux we have as a specie
