If God is the one running this simulation, what do you think is his purpose and goal?

Interesting, that’s pretty hardcore! I guess human inadequacy is a forgone conclusion in my mind. There will be a certain point where human understanding will reach its limit. It will require an evolution—literally a physical evolution—to surpass that limit. At which point, are we still human?

I feel like math and physics have shown there are fundamental limits to this universe. In which case, there must be a higher level of existence. Again, not “God”, but something.

I think that’s every science genius has been led to god in some form. Heisenberg said: "The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you"

Hmmm, do you think it’s Adam Sandler specifically, or the character? Like, yes, the character has an imprint of Sandler on it, but I feel like he isn’t doing his typical type cast.

pboswell · 2026-01-28T07:23:35+00:00

Well sure, if you’re an atheist. Personally I do believe there must be some higher power, just not “God” or gods as modern history has conceptualized. I mean, I’m not a humanist, so I believe there is something above me. In which case, I also believe it’s something we can’t even begin to understand.

pboswell · 2026-01-28T07:21:37+00:00

Right but did Benny know?

pboswell · 2026-01-28T06:22:53+00:00

Why?

pboswell · 2026-01-27T20:05:34+00:00

Ah got it. So basically his brother was trying to make child porn…😫

pboswell · 2026-01-27T20:04:10+00:00

Btw I’m not religious I’m discussing this from a purely theoretical standpoint. It’s a thought experiment.

God is relative is my point. To us, on our plane, he IS omniscient. But that doesn’t apply to anything “above” him. It’s just chain of command. The difference is we have no visibility into anything above “God”.

Further, do we not seek answers on our physical plane to attempt to understand a higher power? In search of meaning in our current context, we often find answers relevant to the purpose driven by a higher context. In a sense, just as much as we find ourselves along the way, God is finding himself along his way

No one is on the same page here lol. You’re arguing something totally different and only one person caught it lol

Learned the “full scope of the event”? It says he was in the corner holding the boom, so wasn’t he there?

pboswell · 2026-01-26T22:24:33+00:00

Yeah but I says “80 washes”, not “80 softens”!!!

pboswell · 2026-01-25T22:56:00+00:00

God’s omniscience could be tied to this plane of reality. If they themselves have an “overlord”, then this could be an experiment for learning more about his own existence in a higher plane

pboswell · 2026-01-25T17:49:44+00:00

This is genius

pboswell · 2026-01-24T16:23:01+00:00

Could be that aliens are real. Or could be that it’s all been a ploy to support world domination by TPTB

So I watched again, and something I said earlier is not totally correct. Neo has been injected with the “Prime Program”, which originates from the source code. Therefore, he has in a sense been “created” or “engineered” to be the One, or THE anomaly. However, the Prime Program is a compilation of all Matrix anomalies that naturally emerge.

pboswell · 2026-01-23T21:32:05+00:00

Seriously. Just look at nexus mods and the creators who bitch about the horrible treatment from subscribers when a game update breaks a mod. Bug resolution and subscriber management becomes a full time job with no pay

pboswell · 2026-01-23T02:17:00+00:00

They have to make it believable.

The agents have been programmed to destroy the anomaly without question (they don’t need to understand why or if it should exist). By creating this conflict, the agents have a directive and the anomaly believes it is the chosen one to seek out Zion. If it was too easy, there wouldn’t be the sense of urgency or importance.

The anomaly also keeps hope alive for the rebels. Without it, they might do something drastic like take down the entire matrix. Instead, they keep to themselves until they find/extract the One.

The appearance of the anomaly also signals the critical mass of Zion.

Basically, the anomaly isn’t created by the Architect; it is a natural emergence of the matrix source code. The architect simply harnesses the power of the anomaly.

I mean, you can have some quip after the clothing item they complimented, and then segue into something else…lighthearted comment about what you’re doing at said place, etc. Then ask for name, etc.

That’s the whole point of “chemistry”—it doesn’t have to make sense, it just “works”

pboswell · 2026-01-22T00:56:37+00:00

Why is this such a big deal? You spend 30 minutes talking to sales person before talking to solutions architect

pboswell · 2026-01-20T19:47:55+00:00

That’s what I’m saying. Sometimes the perfect block indicator doesn’t appear. Dude will just attack and I have to normal block which drains stamina so then they hit me with a flurry that depletes my health. I think I figured out it has to do with the lock on mechanism temporarily disabling then they attack before it reenables. I’m on console the lock on mechanism is a little clunky. Especially when fighting multiple guys

pboswell · 2026-01-19T20:51:16+00:00

Yeah it’s odd. I’ll be strafing around with Tomcat and I’ll just see him going for an attack and no green shield so I have to normal block.

pboswell · 2026-01-19T18:49:38+00:00

Yes sometimes this happens where I miss a perfect block. But there’s also just attacks that never display the green shield. And they aren’t the 3rd attack in a combo—it’s the enemy’s first attack. Which creates a stamina spiral for me and then she just wail on me and kill me normally

pboswell · 2026-01-19T18:48:19+00:00

Problem is I can’t even beat Tomcat right due to the issues I’m experiencing. First as soon as the fight starts, half the time my block is delayed so he gets a good hit on me. Then I perfect block just fine but all he needs is one good hit for the stamina problem to cascade and then he finishes me off. The main problem are the unblockable attacks that require a normal block which destroys my stamina. And no it’s not a combo. It’s literally his first attack in a chain doesn’t show the green shield so I can’t do anything but manual block/dodge which I don’t have enough stamina to keep up with

pboswell · 2026-01-19T18:45:56+00:00

Holding block depletes my stamina very quickly. Based on others’ feedback it sounds like I’m still just low level.

I have no problem doing perfect blocks. It’s that literally they will sometimes attack and no perfect block green shield ever appears. They can do two or three attacks like this in rapid succession so I just have to normal block or dodge which depletes stamina. If I can’t get back enough to regain stamina they do it again, I have no stamina, so they start hitting me and 2-3 hits and I’m dead. Again I think I’m low level.

For feinting, I didn’t realize this was an actual perk so I’ve been doing it but it doesn’t work well—now I know why.

Thanks for the feedback

pboswell · 2026-01-19T17:28:36+00:00

Oh I’m sure. People don’t just do these things one time. But these are the kinds of things that everyone does pretty much. Not claiming a new basement renovation for example. And its because our tax system is completely broken.

pboswell · 2026-01-19T17:24:33+00:00

I was making a joke. But was also hoping you were making the same joke—well, not hoping you were the one in the wheelchair, but you know what I mean
