In some other thread I was referred to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q1jHx29C70 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZlAhdz_ei8 . Quite fascinating, is it not? And do not tell me that this has nothing to do with Bitcoin. Frenchy: Action, Reaction; Cause and effect... Morpheus: Everything begins with choice. Frenchy: No. Wrong. Choice is an illusion created between those with power and those without. All those matrix movies and philosophical stuff generously sprinkled all over, it is all about Bitcoin somehow, I am sure. "I do not know the future. I did not come here to tell you how it is going to end. I came here to tell you how it is going to begin". Neo.

One of the most profound questions a mentor of mine, who's no longer among us, continually asked me was, "Why does JELL-O® do what it does?" A couple years passed when one day I was in a discussion with him about some now unknown topic. At one point, I finished speaking, whereupon he stated, "Now, you know why JELL-O® does what it does." (perhaps paraphrased)
Since then, I've been at a lost as to what I was taught though, at the time, I experience an "a-ha" moment. Can anybody here help me regain my departed friend's philosophical lesson?

I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary while it was commenting on the first and the second matrix movie. I could not for the love of me get my head around the third part's interpretations so that was a bit of a let down. But over all a very intriguing documentary and I'm thankful to the person who posted the link in that other thread last night.

Wow!
Also, while it may or may not be relevant to the Philo of Bitcoin, I highly recommend everyone read Plato: The Symposium.
Its really a staple of modern philosophy concerning itself at one level with the genesis, purpose and nature of love,

Wow! Neat idea. I have a love/hate relationship with media that poses more questions than answers.
