Here's a Twist of reality for ya!..Bank of America analysts: 50% chance we live in a matrix… literally

I once did some "down stream" thinking on, at what point might we out invent ourselves with nowhere else to go...I came to the conclusion that we would reach max entropy after inventing "dimensions within dimensions"...seems that's where these people think we are headed for.

"But also, what the hell is a bank saying stuff like that to their clients for anyway? Consider what your conception of a bank is. I guess they deal in fake money on manipulated stock markets, so that makes them experts on what is and isn’t real?"

I just can't take this seriously, so let's treat it with clever humor.

    I'm suddenly reminded of a an out-of-state brother at a family reunion three or four years ago telling me about some kind of serious information show he saw on TV.
    Bro' told me that some dude on that show in all seriousness said, "It's not IF a zombie apocalypse can happen but a matter of WHEN.."
    Now off of that, me dino now be further reminded of years ago reading on my PC about someone going to a big outdoor.UFO shindig.
    That someone wrote that one UFO enthusiast pointed up to a plain as daylight passenger jet and said, "Look! It's a UFO!"
    The writer argued, "No, that's a passenger jet." The UFO nut became agitated. "No! Can't you see? That's a UFO! A UFO!"
    That writer was likely having an encounter of the third kind with a Bank of America employee, who I'd personally like to talk to about the zombie apocalypse. .

    "Follow the money" isn't a slogan ever used by financial institutions (to my knowledge). It's about tracking down corruption. The money will ultimately flow to the real bad guy if there is one.

    Like the few of us that are actually "Conscious" and use our "Minds"; we and the rest of the world need to take a looooooong, haaaaaard, look at ourselves and begin to understand that there are things physical and mental We as a species, Need to do for ourselves, otherwise, The acts of "Humanity" will be lost.

    This of course is what the left, the non-conscious ruleless delite, want.

    Laughing.

    It's struck me strange that a Representative of a large bank would say something like that...was that a "spoon full" of truth?

    Follow the money. That's the credo of any successful financial institution. With so much of advanced Western societies' consumer interest involved in the electronic world that's becoming more virtual, it's only natural bank analysts would be delving into what this implies for the future.

    Think about this: before we realize it, artificial intelligent systems will be transporting us, cooking and cleaning for us, providing for our medical support, shopping for us, and probably dozens more activities that I haven't time to list. How does society assimilate this radical change to the world? With many unskilled and low skilled jobs becoming automated, what does our labor market become? How does revenue flow, and how do we earn the money to support ourselves? For the banks, the question is how financial institutions fit into such a radically changed society.

    Now me dino understands how O the Great and Powerful was elected twice and why the sick evil hag may be our next president.
    It is the same reason Bank of America money is not really real--not to mention all of our paper money..
    Excuse me while I fade away into my smile.
    Oops, how embarrassing. That's just my partial. Wait a minute! Is my partial all that's real?

    Good humor would be: If your going to pretend to lend me pretend money then I will pretend to pay you back...exactly what I think of the Debt situation...it's all pretend.

    Well, the bank does work outside of reality and in fact does create a financial matrix.
    If the Matrix movie was reality then the financial system would in fact act this way, fake money, fake markets, fake crisis.

    So the question is, do we take the red pill or continue to take the blue one?

    To sum up the article: "Nothing is real. Nothing to write home about. Strawberry Fields Forever." - The Beatles. This concept is about as anti-Objectivist as any. BTW: I didn't downvote you, but my summary probably explains why you did get downvoted.
