Neo and The MATRIX Nightclub Rabbit-hole of Synchronicity

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjoad6gcRzs

So when Neo sees the woman with a White_Rabbit tattoo, he decides to go to the nightclub. 


Trinity:...

I was looking for an answer. It’s the question that drives us. It’s the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did.

Neo: What is the Matrix? http://quotegeek.com/quotes-from-movies/the-matrix/1272


Carrie-Anne Moss was a cast member of the short-lived television show Matrix (1993).

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/trivia?item=tr0791439


Gillian Anderson turned down the role of Trinity. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/trivia?item=tr1852400

David Duchovny turned down the role of Neo in order to star in The X Files (1998). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/trivia?item=tr2169955


"The club was open for nearly four decades as a late-night 4 a.m. bar where goths, punkers, and more gathered to escape the sports bar crowd. The Wachowskis siblings, the filmmakers behind The Matrix, supposedly named Keanu Reeves’ character from that movie after the venue."  https://chicago.eater.com/2017/7/31/16070272/neo-nightclub-documentary-trailer-chicago-2530-last-call

"Neo was the oldest[2] or one of the oldest[3] running nightclubs in Chicago and was a hangout and venue for a variety of musicians and artists, including David BowieIggy PopDavid Byrnethe ClashSiouxsie and the Banshees, and U2."  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo_(nightclub)

At the start of the 1990s, U2 went to record a new BIG tech themed album in Berlin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achtung_Baby#Berlin_sessions A Matrix club opened in Berlin but it was a few years after the recordings at Hansa_Tonstudio

"Matrix is a club in Berlin which opened in 1996."  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(club)

Of course there was another Matrix club and that one opened a few decades before the first Matrix movie. 

"Filming began in March 1998 and wrapped in August 1998..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix#Filming

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix_(club)#Emergence_of_Jefferson_Airplane

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Rabbit_(song) This fantastic song was written not that long after the opening of The_Matrix_(club) in the mid 1960s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Rabbit_(song)#Lyrics_and_composition , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WANNqr-vcx0


Jefferson Airplane’s debut show was on August 13, 1965 at the Matrix nightclub in San Francisco, then went on with several successful tours including performances at the Berkeley Folk Festival, Monterey Jazz Festival, Monterey Pop Festival, Woodstock, and Altamont.

They recorded hit singles such as “White Rabbit,” “Volunteers,” “Embryonic Journey” and “Somebody to Love” and smash albums such as “Volunteers,” “Surrealistic Pillow,” “Bark” and “Takes Off.” https://jeffersonairplane.com , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aeWicwy7fA , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrLz0w4phXk

"When The Matrix closed, a nearby bar, Pierce Street Annex, leased the space and moved in, remodeling once again, and turned it into a nightclub with only a DJ and no live music. After the Pierce Street Annex closed, then-Mayor Gavin Newsom's company, PlumpJack Group, took over in 2000 and renamed the space The MatrixFillmore. Live music was incorporated into the venue during the first few years; however, this layout was not a viable venue for live music and the program was dropped. The MatrixFillmore was one of the first ultra lounges in San Francisco.[9] In 2017, the club name was changed back to The Matrix, described as a casual neighborhood bar with DJs and dancing on weekends.[1] In 2019, The Matrix was remodeled and renamed the White Rabbit." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix_(club)#End_of_The_Matrix ,

"2019 marks the 20th anniversary of what is arguably one of the best Science fiction movies ever made - The Matrix. It popularized an ancient idea that the world we live in may not be real. In other words, our world is just an illusion, a simulation -- a video game. So, Are we really living in a video game? 

Game industry veteran Rizwan (Riz) Virk believes this could be true." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHlfe2HE_gQ

Some people will only ever like the first MATRIX movie.

At the very least, the MATRIX sequels could be considered bonus material.

If a person only likes the first Matrix movie in the series, then perhaps The+Matrix+Resurrections might just be regarded as more bonus material. Yet, this does seem to be the best sequel, so far. Its certainly not a clone of the other sequels and they have some great scenes.

Ever since 1999, people have been pondering the various perspectives of The MATRIX series and the-nature-of-reality. The second and third movies in the series do offer some extra interesting aspects of the overall story. 

https://matrix.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Search?query=Symbolism

Its just that many people thought only the first MATRIX movie was necessary. Perhaps the 4th movie in the series might change their minds.

https://twitter.com/TheMatrixMovie/status/1466814448509673478/photo/1

None of the other movies that Keanu-Reeves has been in would need to be connected to The Matrix movies, but that doesn't stop people from thinking about the possibility.

Things like Déjà Vu and Synchronicity have motivated several people to deeply ponder, The Nature Of Reality. (TNOR)

Are we all living in a Cosmic Matrix?

A lot of people just never bothered to deeply ponder, The Nature Of Reality. (TNOR)

TRON is just Sci-Fi entertainment, as is THE+MATRIX , etc.

Thus, from their perspective this world is part of a cosmic Simulation

The Matrix Resurrections: the big reveal...

 https://www.theguardian.com/film/2021/dec/22/the-matrix-resurrections-the-bonkers-visuals-the-love-story-and-the-final-reveal-discuss-with-spoilers

https://thedigitallabyrinth.blogspot.com/search?q=Jefferson+Airplane+Matrix

The MATRIX series of movies was never meant to be only perceived as Sc-Fi entertainment. However, people can easily just take it in as merely entertainment. Its more about pondering, The-Nature-Of-Reality and Existence. Indeed, one can play the game "existence" to the end, of the beginning...

"Turn off your mind relax and float down-stream,
It is not dying, it is not dying,
Lay down all thought surrender to the void,
It is shining, it is shining.

That you may see the meaning of within,
It is being, it is being,
That love is all and love is everyone,
It is knowing, it is knowing.

That ignorance and haste may mourn the dead,
It is believing, it is believing,
But listen to the color of your dreams,
It is not living, it is not living.

Or play the game "existence" to the end.
Of the beginning, of the beginning.

Of the beginning. Of the beginning." https://www.thebeatles.com/tomorrow-never-knows

Officially, we are told that this world can't be part of an interactive cosmic recording of time and space. Too many people would start to ask too many questions. Thus, the perception of reality is heavily compartmentalized through various belief structures & sciences. Yet, more people are starting to question the various perspectives.

https://cinephiliabeyond.org/matrix/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CThe%20premise%20for%20The%20Matrix,simulacra%20world%20of%20The%20Matrix

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains the Simulation Hypothesis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmcrG7ZZKUc

The simulation hypothesis is a contemporary theory about the nature of reality. However, the concept goes much further back into history. 

400 years before the first MATRIX movie, William Shakespeare wrote this...

"All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;

Benedict Cumberbatch - All The World's A Stage - The Seven Ages Of Man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0178jo7Mka0

Like a stage within a cosmic-matrix theater, people sometimes have glympses or visions of future events.

The band RUSH has had some peculiar insight with some of their songs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Peart#Lyricism One song in particular was as if NP was writing about Neo no longer being a digital man trapped in the Matrix.


Rush - Digital Man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJsRBIId14U

https://www.rush.com/songs/digital-man (1982)

His world is under observationWe monitor his station Under faces and the placesWhere he traces points of view
He picks up scraps of conversationRadio and radiationFrom the dancers and romancers With the answers, but no clue
He'd love to spend the night in ZionHe's been a long while in BabylonHe'd like a lover's wings to fly onTo a tropic isle of Avalon
His world is under anestheticSubdivided and syntheticHis reliance on the GIANTS In the science of the day
He picks up scraps of information He's adept at adaptation'Cause for strangers and arrangersConstant change is here to stay
He'd love to spend the night in ZionHe's been a long while in BabylonHe'd like a lover's wings to fly onTo a tropic isle of Avalon
He's got a forcefield and a flexible plan He's got a date with fate in a black Sedan He plays fast-forward for as long as he canBut he won't need a bed He's a digital man
He'd love to spend the night in ZionHe's been a long while in BabylonHe'd like a lover's wings to fly onTo a tropic isle of Avalon
He's got a forcefield and a flexible plan He's got a date with fate in a black SedanHe plays fast-forward for as long as he canBut he won't need a bedHe's a digital man
He plays fast-forward for as long as he canBut he won't need a bed He's a digital man
He plays fast-forward for as long as he canBut he won't need a bed He's a digital man
He plays fast-forwardFor as long as he can

There might be a quick and subtle reference to the likeness of PKD in the 4th Matrix movie. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20220301-philip-k-dick-the-writer-who-witnessed-the-future 

"In Neuromancer, Gibson first used the term "matrix" to refer to the visualized Internet, two years after the nascent modern Internet was formed in the early 1980s from the computer networks of the 1970s." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Gibson#Visionary_influence_and_prescience

Cyberpunk 2077 Environment Designer Explains How His Team Built the Night City (Simulation)

https://www.ign.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-environment-designer-explains-how-his-team-built-night-city 

Of course a lot of people can hardly wait until there are full Immersion_(virtual_reality) games... Especially with a 1 or 2 hour setting in which the experiencer actually thinks that they are in that particular game world.

https://www.ign.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-hands-on-preview-what-we-think-after-4-hours-in-night-city

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulacron-3#Plot_summary 1963/1964

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SimCity#Gameplay

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Simulator , https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/nec-build-japans-next-earth-simulator-supercomputer

There are some potential risks, so it still could be a while until such advanced VR systems are available to the public. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immersion_(virtual_reality)#Detrimental_effects

In the early 1990s, the band U2 helped to promote the ZOO+TV entertainment MATRIX.

Harsh_Realm (1999) looked like it could have been quite a wild simulation experience. https://www.wired.com/1999/05/x-files-creator-goes-virtual Sort of like a military version of SimCity. http://tactdb.blogspot.com/2014/04/harsh-realm-combat-virtual-reality-tv.html A VR war game immersion system sure wouldn't be set up for beginners. http://www.scififreaksite.com/harshrealm.html A full immersion VR effect could be achieved with something like a small version of a Cerebro type device. https://them0vieblog.com/2015/10/14/harsh-realm-review Although extreme caution would be advised, some people would still be pushing things to the limit. http://www.the13thfloor.tv/2016/08/31/the-elevator-ritual-a-terrifying-vr-horror-experience There are all sorts of potential problems and liabilities when things start to get too realistic. https://www.vrfocus.com/2017/10/do-you-dare-enter-the-13th-floor-in-fantas-new-vr-experience

The_Thirteenth_Floor and Source_Code movies depict a level of VR tech where ones consciousness can be transferred into another body. Of course this tech would be at a level that's far beyond any digital sandbox_game even, No_Man's_Sky. (NMS) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Man's_Sky#Future

Sandbox_game-History & Life_simulation_games

The technology to transfer consciousness into something like a very advanced version of The_Sims & other Avatars, is still a Sci-Fi concept. In The_Matrix world, ones consciousness is only linked to a VR character. However, it is implied that if a sudden disconnect with The_Matrix occurs, there would be dire consequences. 

Of course back in the early days when people were first exposed to the SimCity game, the tech and the graphics were quite limited. Yet, something very interesting was started. All you needed was a personal_computer to experience this new digital or Virtual_World. However, any kind of full immersion or consciousness transfer was just Sci-Fi entertainment.

Virtual_World-Entertainment

There was quite a big jump from the SimCity_(1989_video_game) to The_Matrix movie in 1999. The brilliant creators of The_Matrix_(franchise) wanted to depict a warning about, Out_of_Control A.I. run scenarios, where humans are mentally trapped in a simulated environment with various levels and versions. A small group of people try to break others out of the A.I. run simulation and only one human city remains in the "Real_World."

The_Thirteenth_Floor (1999) provided another fascinating version of  a VR program with people being in something like a very advanced form of SimCity

Of course something else interesting happened in the late 1990s. No_Maps_for_These_Territories#Background_and_premise


"It features appearances by Jack WomackBruce SterlingBono, and The Edge..."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Maps_for_These_Territories 


So during the 1980s and 90s, Bono and the Edge had obviously become very interested with the writings of William_Gibson_and_the_evolution_of_cyberpunk.

Thus, the unofficial U2 entertainment MATRIX era started. Achtung_Baby,_Zoo_TV,_and_Zooropa_(1990-1993)

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/Bono_as_The_Fly_Cleveland_1992.jpg

Indeed by the early 1990s, Bono was doing his version of Neo in the SimCity MATRIX Thing. By 1992, the Even_Better_Than_the_Real_Thing-Music_video was ready. 

In a way, the Zoo_TV_Tour was preparing people for the first Matrix movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH8bnSQ8mR0 , https://www.u2.com/music/lyrics/42

Although it would have been cool for The_Matrix to have been filmed in Melbourne, Sydney was the better choice, overall.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7e/Bono_performing_on_Zoo_TV_Tour_in_Melbourne_Nov_13_1993_3.jpg

"Zoo TV: Live from Sydney is a concert video release by Irish rock band U2. It was filmed on 27 November 1993 at Sydney Football Stadium in SydneyAustralia, during the "Zoomerang" leg of the group's Zoo TV Tour." 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo_TV:_Live_from_Sydney

"All but a few scenes were filmed at Fox Studios in Sydney, and in the city itself, although recognizable landmarks were not included in order to maintain the impression of a generic American city. The filming helped establish New South Wales as a major film production center.[44] Filming began in March 1998 and wrapped in August 1998; principal photography took 118 days."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix#Filming in Australia

U2 and Neo:
"Neo was the oldest[2] or one of the oldest[3] running nightclubs in Chicago and was a hangout and venue for a variety of musicians and artists, including David BowieIggy PopDavid Byrnethe ClashSiouxsie and the Banshees, and U2." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo_(nightclub)

There is a vast interconnected web of synchronicity with the concept of VR and advanced A.I. simulations in general. Its all part of The Simulation Hypothesis.
