#TheMatrix

1 post1 participant0 posts today

"Complicated" is the debut single by Canadian singer-songwriter #AvrilLavigne from her debut album, #LetGo (2002). It was released on 11 March 2002 by #AristaRecords. Lavigne and production team #theMatrix (#LaurenChristy, #ScottSpock, and Graham Edwards) are credited as #writers. Production on the song was helmed by the Matrix. According to Lavigne, the song is about being honest with oneself rather than "putting on a face".

🤜🤛

Having read many sci-fi novels over the decades and seeing all to many converge on our reality,
I've always seen #TheMatrix as a not unlikely destiny for humanity.

We will soon be the less intelligent species competing for the same vital resources and are training them on human behavior without even trying to implement #Asimov's laws.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦

This can only go the way of #PhilipKDick's #SecondVariety:

Continued thread

“The Matrix” has been one of the most impactful films of my lifetime, and was created by two #transgender women, Lana and Lily Wachowski.

In multiple interviews they have stated that the movie is intended to be a #trans allegory, with the red and blue pills representing the choice to transition versus the choice to go into denial, with the subway scene referencing Lana’s own brush with suicide and so on

Here is an interview where Lily talks about #thematrix as a trans allegory in her own words.

For #transdayofvisibility today I have called on and continue to call on trans people everywhere to reclaim the idea of the red pill, which has been appropriated from us, by sharing our history to the #redpill hashtag.

Led the red pill again represent the idea of choosing authenticity and self discovery in the face of fear.

Let us defy erasure by telling our stories.
