As a child of God, if you ever have suicidal thoughts, it is the devil at work, and he wants to rob you of your glorious destiny. You must shun anything that would make you depressed as it is the major driving force behind a great number of suicides in the world today.

The first is that for every single thing that you say “yes” to, that means you’re going to have to say “no” to a bunch of other things.įor that reason it’s worth putting a lot of value in your yes, and also not being afraid to say no.īut how do you determine what to say yes to?Īs you work to answer that question (with the help of the ideas that follow), keep in mind is that not all effort is created equal.

Here are 7 classic works of science fiction that helped to create the original program of The Matrix. Famously, the Wachowskis required all cast members to read Jean Baudrillard's philosophy text Simulacra and Simulation so that they would get what the movie was all about.īut, other than philosophy and religion, what were the specific sci-fi stories that had a direct or indirect influence on the Wachowskis when they crafted The Matrix in the first place? Neuromancer the character is very important in Marie-France's plan for biological immortality, and so figures into the plot more than I really considered my first couple times around, but mostly I just think Gibson thought it sounded cool as a title. But he stole from his employer, who took revenge by crippling. In fact, part of what makes The Matrix so enduring is that it's kind of a potpourri of all kinds of sci-fi. Neuromancer tells the story of Case, once a hot and high-paid cyberspace cowboy who could infiltrate and rip off corporate databases. When The Matrix hit theaters in 1999, it was an aesthetically groundbreaking feat, but that doesn't exactly mean the movie was a new science fiction concept. Not only is the original 1999 film enjoying a brief theatrical re-release, but the recent news that a fourth Matrix film from Lana Wachowski is happening, and that Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss are in it, is all enough to make you wonder if you're not living in simulation and that, really, it is still 1999.
