This stuff is a whole lot more deep and powerful than what most would perceive, and that guy's interpretation of it is really good. I often examine things the way he does, but I wouldn't have easily come up with all of that.

That said, any opinions that come out of this will most likely be very biased, and it reminds me of Salad Fingers...

When you compare these videos with the real world media, it starts to become kind of sad and almost funny in a way, instead of creepy. That's because you start to realize just how many similarities there are.

The main issue is that creativity, by definition, is something that must be free. Trying to control it eliminates what it means to even be creative. Creativity is a kind of personal experience that results from you using your imagination, in your own way. This means that creativity is something that cannot be delivered through the media. Sure, you can inspire it, but you cannot really "teach" it. I can see how people might interpret the media as controlling the minds of the sheeple to think in a particular way, but to call it out as some kind of conspiracy might be going too far.

Time is also interesting, when you look at it from that perspective. Time should never be something used for control. While time is indeed valuable, in this sense, it is your time, and your time alone. Nobody else can tell you what to do with it, for it is you who gives meaning to your life. We are not sheeple, and our time does not belong to anyone else, because we are free and we do not belong to anyone else!

It is one thing to imprison people physically, but imprisoning them mentally is a whole other. I hope that people have the power to break free. It's such a sorry state that some people must be in.

Although this is fictional, nobody explains it quite like Morpheus. It makes you wonder what he was really talking about.
