25 Years Later, We're All Trapped in 'The Matrix'
• https://www.wsj.com, By Meir SoloveichikThe 1999 sci-fi classic predicted a world like the one we now live in, where human beings are cut off from one another by technology. But it also reminded us that resistance is possible.
This 25-year thing is way too shallow. When Satan was tempting the starving Jesus in the wilderness, he suggested that Jesus turn some stones into bread. Jesus's answer was, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” So, what is "... every word that comes from the mouth of God?" Genesis chapter 1 tells us that God spoke the universe into existence. So, people live on the physics of the universe. And the only way out of the universe that we know of is death. Besides, if we knew how to get out alive, where out-of-the-world would that take us? The universe is a much more complex matrix.
