Films and Stress Induced Cognitive Deficit(SICD)

They Live and The Matrix are films that highlight two things an epiphany and a revelation of the true nature of being. Both echo the many spiritual traditions. Every religion benefits from the wisdom of its philosophers after all.
At the same time the nature of the actual being and what appears as the being have a difference very similar to the capitalist / Marxist divide. On one hand people are free to pursue prosperity and wealth while on the other hand the workers who actually are working to produce the things get a very small amount from the actual sale of the produce as their wage. Exploitation is the flip-side of every cent of profit. People do not pursue private enterprise because they can't put together a starting capital nor have an option to take out a loan for starting a business. So most people are kept in their condition of minimum wage so that they would work for a wage and produce a profit for those who are in an ownership of an enterprise.  What keeps them in this socially conditioned social behaviour is stress. A very cunning illness that makes people lack the necessary intelligence to ameliorate themselves out of their own condition of misery. Furthermore it keeps people in their familiar routines and behaviours enforced by a list of constant threats and fears and stress maintenance. It is an epiphany when you understand that a large part of your product is removed from you, as if by a mystery with your express permission and agreement, that most people are never in a position to reverse the terms or offer the same pattern onto others to liberate themselves from the necessary conditioned behaviours and drudgeries of work sustained by ongoing cognitive blindness while stress perpetuates the work.

... Tomorrowland comes in and kind of reverses the idea of revelation - it has been a fantastic world but then someone brought in the hoodwinks for all, made them forget it and consequently they think that the world is awful and worse: about to end.

There are many films of this type which portray sudden insight into the nature of a system.


It would be interesting to have a film where SICD is discovered and the enlightened programmers are given a magic touch by their newly awakened consciousness, just by shedding off all stressors and growing the doors of their perception. This may look a lot like Limitless

Every human who has ever been on the Third Level of Consciousness seeks to regain it or maintain it with serenity and buffering themselves from the noisy, quarrelsome rabble. Many humans who have experienced the Fourth Level of Consciousness would like to bring others to light on the nature of society and social being and to find others. There is no technology required for it. One just needs dedication and this very insight: without stress human soul blossoms in a display of joyous growth of executive functions; with it one remains dumbed down and blind to it to boot.
