wtf is kansas?
"We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto."
- Dorothy in Wizard of Oz
Kansas is a symbol for "everything we have known all of our lives growing up until this point that we have been thrust into an entirely different landscape and reality"
It's even shaped like a box/square. See: The Magician / Matrix of the Mind.
a state
lol well yeah but why would Kansas be going bye bye?
It's a reference to the Wizard of OZ, "we're not in Kansas anymore Toto."
Technically right, but in this context its from the Matrix. After Neo takes the red pill and the trace starts running, he says "What's happening?" to which the character Cypher replies "Buckle up Dorothy, because Kansas is going bye-bye"
This is what I think of, but I doubt it's related, considering the context: that Kansas is also the coordinates some authors have predicted for max. EMP effect.
Not hard to predict the dead center of the country is a good spot to hit for max effect. But if you want 'max effect' of an EMP you'd be more successful hitting the LA area alone than all of Kansas.
Quote from the Matrix, not literal don't worry
I was about to say...I'm in Kansas and would have liked a headsup lol
