The Narrative (Part 1)

It has been said that we are in the information age and that information is the new gold. So why is data so valuable? To answer that question let’s first take a look at 3 different movies.

-The Matrix (Series)

-The Adjustment Bureau

-The Imitation Game

The Matrix

What is the Matrix?

According to the movie the Matrix is a system of control. An alternate reality created to distract the minds of all who are connected in order to harvest their energy.

Important Notes:

-As stated in the second movie of the series, one version of the Matrix was a failure. Connected users rejected the reality because it was too perfect.

-The Matrix was not successful until it was capable of accounting for choice.

-While a non-user(someone that has at some point been disconnected from the Matrix and is conscious of what the Matrix is) is interfaced with it(inside the Matrix and interacting with it and those connected to it), any users(those still being harvested for their energy and believing the Matrix to be a true reality), are a direct threat. If at any point, a user witnesses a non-user acting/behaving in a way that goes against the rules set by the Matrix, a response is triggered where a “program”(a seemingly unstoppable agent) overrides the users consciousness and attempts(most often succeeds) to attack and destroy the non-user.

The Adjustment Bureau

What is the Adjustment Bureau?

According to the movie the Adjustment Bureau is an entity whose purpose is to ensure humanity follows a predetermined narrative based on probability. In this movie, agents of the Bureau step in to correct the course of the main character after he encounters a woman. By interacting with this woman he has put the grand narrative at risk and they are forced to take action in order to ensure the narrative comes to fruition.

Important Notes:

-The Bureau acts under the direction of a seemingly supernatural force but does not use supernatural powers to change the course of the people inside the narrative. Instead, it is up to the Bureau to alter/influence events in order to ensure the success of the narrative.

The Imitation Game

What is the Imitation Game?

Well, let’s get to that a little later but the movie is a depiction of how one man(Alan Turing) came up with the idea to create a machine that could decipher any encryption that the Enigma(Encryption tool used by the Axis forces in WWII) was set at and was credited as winning the war for the Allied forces. The Enigma allowed for “159 million million million” possible settings that were changed everyday which made it impossible to decipher on a day by day basis without the aid of a machine.

Important Note:

-There is a point in the movie when the team has cracked the Enigma and have now tracked the location of every single enemy deployment. They even realized that there was about to be an attack on one of the Allied ships. There is some additional drama added due to the ship being the same vessel that one of the team member’s brother is stationed on but an argument ensues as to whether or not they should alert the ship. Alerting the ship could save everyone on it including the brother, but it would also alert the Germans to the possibility that the Enigma had been cracked and undermine all of the progress they had made.

The Narrative (Part 2)

Now that we have looked at the important points of those movies let’s begin analysing how they are all connected.

I’ll begin with The Imitation Game. As mentioned above, there comes a point when the team realizes that what they do with the information they have could win the war, but only if the enemy doesn’t realize that they have it. In the following scene Alan turns to the head of British intelligence for help. He admits to him that they have cracked the Enigma but he now needs the intel agency to use statistical analysis and formulate a plan that would allow them to win the war while keeping the variable rate of change low enough to not alert the enemy. In other words, by having ALL of the information, the intel agency would now be able to guarantee victory regardless of what the enemy did. It would only be a matter of time. And this is what the real Imitation Game was. The intel agency had to come up with a plan that would IMITATE REALITY! And they did! They created situations where the reality that the enemy saw was a lie!

Next we will factor in what we know from The Adjustment Bureau. In that movie, the key players in the narrative were unaware of their roles. But what if they were aware of their roles? What if an entity existed that had ALL of the information and could systematically install people into positions of power in order to ensure the success of a narrative that they had created? By having ALL of the information they could install people into those positions and guarantee it came to fruition….as long as the “enemy” was unaware. The people in those positions of power/influence wouldn’t even need to know the plan. Some of them would need to know at least to some degree, what the plan was but many of them simply need to know that they must do what they are told. They would understand that they are only in that position of power because said agency put them there and if they wanted to stay in that position then they had better do as they were told.

Now let’s look at The Matrix. As mentioned, the Matrix is a lie. It is a false reality. A reality created to ensure that those living it will freely give up their “energy”. So let’s suppose that in our own reality there was an entity that had ALL of the information, had filled the positions of power(politicians/actors/new anchors) like a player positioning his pieces on a chess board, and did it all to ensure a narrative that they had created. Would that be all that different from the Matrix? Could what we see as reality actually be a complete and utter lie? Could it be possible that what we believe to be free will is actually a predetermined fate? Is it so hard to imagine that this could actually be happening?

Do I have your attention yet? If you believe that this couldn’t possibly be happening then let’s look at the important points that I made about The Matrix. Would a perfect world be rejected by the individual? Does pain and suffering create an emotional connection to our reality? More importantly, do we see “agents” of the Matrix? Have any of you interacted with friends or family members who you know to be loving, caring and intelligent people and then all of the sudden you are talking to a “machine”? Did you cause them to question their reality only to have the human individual disappear and have a “program” take their place? If you have not yet realized that humans can be programmed then unfortunately you are undoubtedly a victim of it.

And this is where it starts to get dark, really dark. Have you noticed that movies and television are quite literally called “programming”? Have you noticed what the dominant plots to movies and television have been? Glorifying sin and/or the dark arts? The murder of “Nazis”? Have you noticed the growing racial divide where saying things like “All lives matter” will ruin your life…and even have you labeled as a Nazi? There is something horrible happening in this world and it has not happened organically. It is only the illusion of reality.

The saddest part of it all is summed up in what I said at the beginning of this. THIS is why information is so valuable. And we have simply given it all away.
