@tomkh : connect to your shadertoy, man. It will... distract you a bit. :) -
tom: I did, but I don't see anything unusual? - @tomkh : All good then ! :) Now click on "New" and code a cool shader. You know how. Come on ! Chop chop !
- ;) I think I just didn't realize your user name is different there, but I figured out.
- At long last... :D

Ask this the A.I. chat bot: The film The Matrix describes our lives as an analogy. Summarize this. -
Check out Fassbinder's Welt am Draht, much better and deeper than Matrix. It's recursive. -
A review of the book "The Technological Republic": https://prudentia-club.blogspot.com/2026/04/the-technological-republic.html -
contrary to some beliefs I have NOT joined The Mushroom man either - Animatrix series were much more interesting than the Matrix itself.
-
Welt am Draht was a masterpiece. Fassbinder always - I may watch. I just hope it's not one of those "national pride" movies. The idea can be anyway tracked to Stanisław Lem's "phantomatics" from 1964 ;)
- actually it can be tracked to 1964's novel Simulacron-3
- Lem was actually slightly earlier with Summa Technologiae and his previous short essays on the topic. Galouye's Simulacron-3 was also released in 1964, most likely independently.
- talk about national pride
- it's just a techno/cyberpunk retelling of plato's cave theory anyway
- bifat: well, you can call it whatever you want, but "phantomatics" was literally all about the plug in the back of your head, while simulacron was wider concept of nested simulations (which is not directly related to Matrix)
- you sure talk a lot about national pride
- it sounds like you are butthurt about it though
- if I have it my way, all nations will be dissolved instantly
