That's cool. Stories like that don't usually spread far.
I would have agreed with you 5 years ago. I would have probably shared your exasperated disbelief at his statements. But 5 years ago I still thought I KNEW things, when I really only BELIEVED them. If you take a serious look at the things you think you know, and put them through as rigorous a shakedown as you have with Morpheus11, you'll likely come to the conclusion that you don't actually know anything. I don't.
Once you let go of beliefs, a whole world of possible explanations comes into view. Sometimes, crazy explanations appear, but they're only crazy because of lingering beliefs.
Morpheus11 might have been more inclined to share more of his thoughts with you if you had been approaching him in a genuinely open-minded, curious way, but you were being confrontation instead. I get it. It's crazy stuff. But that does not make it wrong, it just means your beliefs are being challenged.
Man-made things can be patented and turned into profitable ventures. I feel like we're dangling from a pendulum that is at or near the extent of its swing and we're about to return to nature and sanity. The view of the world from here is frightening and obscene. Let's go back.
I wonder what would happen if nobody voted. Since the DS seems to always procure a "tight race" every election, would they just carry on and fudge the numbers to create the illusion of another tight race that they just barely (but decidedly) won? Wouldn't it be an eye-opener for people to suddenly realize that their vote is unnecessary? That the DS will do it for them?
No one should have to live that way. In my mind, there'd be no cameras watching you in a Freedom City. Otherwise, it would be misnamed. I like the idea of building a new "world" that all the decent people would flock to.
ALL his hard-earned money?!
