absolute identity, ego identities, lies, half truths, and absolute truths

If we are not already living within the "Matrix", technology has advanced to such an extent, that humanity soon WILL be.

We just have to look at the phenomena called "deepfakes" and the level at which Virtual Reality can copy what we perceive as "reality" to such an extent, that it is completely indistinguishable from the 'real thing'.

Through computer applications, we can make people say things they never did..or even create realistic images of people who simply do not exist...heck, even the Mona Lisa is talking now.

Those who spend a lot of time playing these video games will tell you that the created "fantasy world" is more 'real' than the world around them, as soon as they take off their headgear.

With the push towards everybody "living in cyberspace", is there an agenda to have everybody become totally oblivious to any world or reality which exists outside of it?

One just has to watch Elon Musk interviews to understand the way the world is heading...while the more 'traditional' folk will take up residence in the countryside, live off-grid and not have any mobile devices or computers, just so they can exist in a 'natural environment' and not an 'artificial environment'...until whatever government is in charge will make it illegal to do so, of course.

Then, it will not matter about what is going on with 'mother earth'...global corporations will get to do what they like, because the "outside world" will simply cease to exist as a reality, for those who have integrated their consciousness into the "augmented reality" which has now become the "new real" with all of the convincing 'fakery' which goes along with it...and it is so easy to manipulate minds under these circumstances.

There is a reason why so many people are "waking up", it is because they don't want their brains to be stuck in a machine for the rest of their lives...they don't want to walk around with their head in a "cyber cloud" without having any Earth to plant their feet on anymore.

It is all an illusion within an illusion...which only goes to illustrate the whole illusory nature of existence in the first place...whereby the ONLY thing that will remain "true", is the personal truth we can find deep within our own hearts, because everything ELSE will become a lie.

Thanks for reading.

Shivani Devi, thanks for posting, as always. This hit the nail on the head.
George Orwell springs to mind.

What’s happening now is a shame and a sham,...so full of lies and half-truths my head spins. :(

However, I do see there are plenty of young folk who get it, thus my hope for a better future.
