The Matrix

Dan Carlin released his 200th Common Sense show relatively recently, and it's the usual clear headed look at the world, sad as it is, that we have.


Remember the movie "The Matrix"? The good one, not the terrible ones. Remember how the human beings are being kept in stasis, their energy used to feed the machines in the real world?

More than ever, I'm convinced that's where we are headed. Don't ask any questions. Just sit down, shut up, watch Dancing With The Stars, and consume. Just consume. Feed the beast- the corporations that own your government, that now control your rights, that own everything and everyone. Just consume. Buy what they're selling, and don't question the system.

Religion? Peace? Love? Never mind all that. Just fucking consume.

And if you ask too many inappropriate questions? We lock people up who do that.
