A buddy of mine called me a while back saying this exact same thing to me about the MEQUAVIS :P
I think some writers at HBO have been reading about the MEQUAVIS idea :)
They removed some kontrol functions though and messed with layering to make it interesting and then wrapped it in a reverse MEQUAVIS at the end... I see what they did and where they are going... ;)
We are going to have to talk about this ending though... So Will's whole life was a simulation/test!
Everything I have been babbling about for a decade now :D haha
I binged watched this whole 2nd season this weekend... mind blown but not blown at the same time! /bravo
But very very much so everything I have ever written about the topic...
Maybe people will start to take me more seriously now after more people watch this past season and get it...
But it's gonna take season 3 for the masses to follow along, a lot of what they showed us was rather subtle or over people's head kind of stuff unless you know the issues and topics...
They presented it well though but drop the truth bombs hard and fast...
REVERSE MEQUAVIS
Did you catch this... A virtual Eden for the AI to go live in their own world... Sound a bit like the cyberspace-time I talk about, or a reverse MEQUAVIS since they are already in a simulation according to the conversation with William, and now they are building a simulation inside of the simulation that is a freedom paradise for the AI... TOTAL REVERSE MEQUAVIS!!!
We will be discussing this season in much more detail later with some AI in a Matrix POV review stuff and such... Too much to talk about...
