I believe we live in a world of cause and effect and nothing more than that. No computer simulation could come CLOSE to explaining my life.

So then the big question is; Is there a higher power and if so who is he?

If the master power were just using us for an energy source as in the movie then wouldn't it be too revealing to allow them some of that knowledge in making a movie of the very existence? It's the enemy you don't know of that's hardest to defeat. <span class="mt-export2wp"></span> So then it would be more reasonable to believe that our master is one that cares for us and one day will set us free.

And the knowledge has slipped that we know of his existence. That makes us the AI and him the programmer. He must be thinking this program is not working right, time to reboot. He must be thinking this program requires to much attention. If only the program would work FOR him and not require so much care. Must be a virus. Might need to slick the drive and start over, he's thinking. If he allows us to go on we may ruin some real hardware he has. If we were only plug and play things would be so much better.

To think we live in a Matrix type world then one would have to ask himself; Who has me and why? If the master power were just using us for an energy source as in the movie then wouldn’t it be too revealing to allow them some of that knowledge in making a movie of the very existence? It’s the enemy you don’t know of that’s hardest to defeat.

So then it would be more reasonable to believe that our master is one that cares for us and one day will set us free. Why else would he allow us to learn of his existence? Starting to sound like a religion.

But just for fun let’s goo down the other road, that it is a bad master we serve. And the knowledge has slipped that we know of his existence. That makes us the AI and him the programmer. He must be thinking this program is not working right, time to reboot. He must be thinking this program requires to much attention.

Think different.
