An out-of-control car flies through multiple traffic lanes

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzIS34orIZY Even to try to do something like this for a car chase scene in a movie would require incredible coordination and timing. Yet, this just naturally happened.

Now consider the 1996 video for Walking_Contradiction. Its a fantastic depiction of how unintended actions cause unintended consequences. A lot of planning and coordination was involved in order to make such a music_video.

The free flow of ideas and concepts in art, music, books, movies and TV is always going to offend someone. So if everyone eventually agrees to dissolve what they don't like, there wont be much of anything left.

The trailer for Matrix Resurrections may have already confirmed one of the most out-there fan theories.

If even a few more details of the overall story are revealed, that would be interesting enough.

However, many people were quite satisfied with the first MATRIX movie.

Books, Movies and TV...

 https://medium.com/@Jamiesgt/blu-rays-and-their-special-features-769f78bbf66f 

Although this article is from 2019, its just as important as ever. Of course digital streaming and e-books are quick and convenient, its still good to have a tactile copy of some things. So while a digital library is great, having a hard copy of something is still very important. Especially in the era of Cancel+Culture.

There is always the potential for public access data to be sent down the Memory_hole

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_hole#Origins

"Fahrenheit 451 is a computer strategy game released in 1984 based on the 1953 novel of the same name by Ray Bradbury." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_451_(video_game)

"The captain lectures him about the books and pulls a last book from Montag's coat, for which Montag kills him with the flamethrower. He escapes and finds the book people, where he views his "capture" on television, staged to keep the masses entertained and because the government doesn't want it to be known that he is alive. Montag selects a book to memorise, Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edgar Allan Poe, and becomes one of the book people." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_451_(1966_film)#Plot

As long as there are free thinking people, various books and information can be remembered. This is still a good idea in this digital age because the memory+hole is always waiting to destroy more information.

So while Ebooks and digital archives can be great in general, there is always the potential for some items to become digital kindling.

The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951)

The_Day_the_Earth_Stood_Still remains as one of the all time classics. Several other movies would be influenced by it. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043456

There are the metaphors and the special effects that were cutting edge for the 1950s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_the_Earth_Stood_Still#Reception


The updated version has its moments and of course the tech that is depicted is more advanced.

Even if this world isn't something like a video_game to some higher cosmic intelligence, A.I. still might see each person as being like one of The_Sims for current and future data-mining and mass-marketing purposes, in its own version of MMORPGs.

The public has access to a certain level of MMORPGs. However, the real instantaneous visual tech is still far beyond public access. 

Think of this as being like the first color movies and TV productions compared to 4K and 8K. 

Global AI data-mining and mass-marketing systems can create an artificial_consciousness unit or a digital version of a person to be in its multiplayer_video_game. Of course many variations of a digital person could be created to determine various possible simulation scenarios.

This might seem like a relatively new concept for some, but it has been around for quite a long time.

Long before SimCity and The_Sims, there was The_Minority_Report in 1956 and Simulacron-3 in 1964.

https://wikimedia.org/Welt_Am_Draht_poster.jpg (1973)

"In the present day, Cybernetics and Future Science's (Institut für Kybernetik und Zukunftsforschung) new supercomputer hosts a simulation program that includes an artificial world with more than 9,000 "identity units" who live as human beings, unaware that their world is just a simulation. Professor Vollmer (Adrian Hoven), who is the technical director of the program, is apparently on the verge of an incredible secret discovery. He becomes increasingly agitated and anti-social before dying in a mysterious accident. His successor, Dr. Fred Stiller, has a discussion with Günther Lause, the security adviser of the institute when the latter suddenly disappears without a trace before he is able to pass on Vollmer's secret to Stiller. More mysterious still is the fact that none of the other IKZ employees seem to have any memory of Lause." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_on_a_Wire#Plot

Scientists Say They Could Bring Back Woolly Mammoths. But Maybe They Shouldn't

 https://www.npr.org/2021/09/14/1036884561/dna-resurrection-jurassic-park-woolly-mammoth

The ability to reanimate various extinct life forms is a tempting notion, but there are always potential dangers.

Tesla, SpaceX and Elon Musk...

 What you didn't know about Tesla https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3zfXc8nVQk , https://www.youtube.com/c/Mrwhosetheboss/videos

Elon+Musk is quite a driven man for tech and business ventures...

The Lo Res Car vs. KITT...

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XDSGzrCG2o , https://www.youtube.com/c/DougDeMuro/videos

This sure looks like a fantastic concept car. With some airtight improvements, electronics and strengthening, it could be like a KITT Car for the 2020s.

A lot of people would like to have their own stealth_ground_vehicle, but only a small percentage of people could afford to own such a vehicle.

Stealth_technology isn't meant to be available at the public consumer level.

Of course the general sports+car is still widely available to the public.

Some people like to custom build their favorite version of The-Batmobile. Its all possible, as long as they have enough money to pay for it.

ABBA goes TRON?

Sort of...

https://www.clashmusic.com/features/is-abba-voyage-crossing-a-worrying-line 

ABBA has been around since the 1970s with a high level of enduring popularity through the decades.

This could be quite an interesting digital entertainment production. https://abbavoyage.com 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tron:_Legacy#Sound_and_visual_effects , 
It sure does seem like they are going for a partial TRON: Legacy look in their digital concert.

Bustling Megacities vs. the Lame Planned-opolis...

Top 10 Most Populated Cities in The World 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bppn3b_HSKc

Top 10 Biggest Cities By 2030 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFJsHK_XbcM

As cities get larger, more modes of transportation and housing, along with parks and recreation facilities needs to be provided. 

The Planned-opolis is almost like turning a person into living like a mouse in a maze or a lab rat...

Planned-opolis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSvb_ZTYS6A This is one of the most lame & condescending videos about imposing a totalitarian technocracy, ever produced. Humans beings conditioned to live in a hamster habitat. 

https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/cwire/2011/01/03/03climatewire-predicting-the-climate-changed-city-of-the-f-70805.html

While its important to maintain law and order, too much urban control could make things seem more like a dystopian nightmare.



The combination of having smartphones and robots granting clearance or permission of limited freedom of mobility for the day, could easily become a totalitarian system.


A planned-oppolis and technocracy system forged through a global reset just might turn things into an ugly world of control and servitude.
