I don't think that "WE" created the "matrix" we live in. We are just born into it, and will die out of it, cooresponding to birth and death in actuality.

we did create this matrix, but our learnt assumptions are created for us, and like hikaru z said, we're born into it. overseas, cultures have a worlddd of different learnt assumption being digested as a reality into each and every individual growing up inside of it. the truths an 'individual of culture' holds ARE just interpretations, greattttly influenced by learnt assumption. now, to DESTABILIZE learnt assumption, that's where growth is =) It is like the writing process, that good ol' never ending cycle of reading - thinking - writing - re-reading - thinking - etc.. The truth as we know it is always in flux, as our worldview changes, no? This examplifies it's non-objectiveness - truth's. As we live, we continue to see and learn more things (reading), and so we THINK! we compare the new information to our current worldview, or simply whatever topic the new info was on. We compare the new (what was read) with the old (previously assumed). Being able to adjust whatever paradigm is the hot topic, well, this is growth right there... and Writing is just a metaphor for the outcome of our growth... this change can be seen in what we write, how we write. NOW! having being changed, we go back to rereading! Looking at something again, but thinking differently, you're inevitably going to be interpreting differently; seeing new things... and now, you compare the new to the old. it's never ending... our interpretation of reality. We can only accept growth!!! and it's so beautiful. to even BEGIN to try to define any objective truth is simply trying to objectify the INESCAPABLY subjective... we are all individual's of culture. INTERPRETATION INTERPRETATION INTERPRETATION! it's crazy huh? =P i love it. You guys ever read any John Berger, 'Ways of Seeing'? it's some great stuff. spent an entire semester writing essays on it, and loved every moment (which you wouldn't have been able to tell with all my procrastination, but regardless =P) WHATS UP FRACTUAL, long time man! what are you up to nowwadays? how's that world of yours?
not much man....i have been learning, and growing, learning that ive learned nothing, learning to learn, and then learning a little more i guess, lol..... i really am on a path of self-discovery though and undergoing so much change as a person and i really am so new to this world, even though sometimes it seems like the path im on is anything but that... really really agree what you said about learnt assumption and how so much of our being is truely just conditioned into us and it is like weve been made into something, and i know that just isnt what i am, or what life is, and know there is an entire world of beauty and possibility and truth acceptance just waiting to be tapped into, and how beautiful life can be when you get into that place... and so much of any unhappiness i experience is just my own delusion and theres hardly ever a valid reason for anything 'negative' thing i experience... but its hard to frind the drive and passion to for that to truely dive into a vast world of understanding and knowledge and and really sort through all of the crap like what you said is a not always perfect world. i mean, i love knowledge, i really do, but my conditioned self just gets strung out on that stuff i think, i guess its just self-discipline is what it comes down to....but your right, we really can do anything at all we want with this life and things are going to turn out so beautifully and were all going to be taken to such amazing places in this life, its almost hard to picture things not turning out beautifully...
Fractual...Wellmet You sound like a cool dude. Your last sentence being exactly what occam believes about ourselves and our race. Wellsaid. May your path be as full of wonder as occam's Occam
and what is the truth? other than that the "externality of relations" is an illusion we have created. life is a dream
