Lindsay Makes Videos 💔🩹💖<p>As autistic people we are really into The Truth™. We tend to think everyone needs proper, accurate, up-to-date information about all the things, and they should be grateful to us for dispensing that information, anywhere and everywhere we go. 😂 Unfortunately, this can drive people nuts, which frustrates the hell out of us. </p><p>&quot;If they weren&#39;t so damn emotional, they&#39;d be able to handle THE FACTS!&quot;</p><p>But here&#39;s another fact - people prioritize their safety above all other things. If the truth we want them to see makes them feel unsafe, their mind will protect themselves from it. They will find a way to rationalize our points away like their life depended on it - which, according to their nervous system, it does.</p><p>This, my friends, is how you get an agent.</p><p>It&#39;s effortless to apply the dialogue spoken in this scene onto our current world. We are all very much &#39;plugged in&#39; to something, even if it&#39;s not digital. We are so dependent on it and entwined within it, it&#39;s impossible to survive while also upholding any consistent moral integrity. </p><p>But so few of us are willing to confront how often we have to push our integrity aside for the almighty dollar. We don&#39;t want to admit we&#39;ve been had, chasing our carrots, running on the treadmill that refuels our own oppression, in this cult of delayed gratification.</p><p>And there&#39;s nothing we can do to change the mind of an agent. We just have to protect ourselves from them until we gather the strength to build a new culture where survival doesn&#39;t cost our souls.</p><p>“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” Upton Sinclair</p><p><a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/thematrix" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>thematrix</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/thematrixisreal" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>thematrixisreal</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/moviequotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>moviequotes</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/actuallyautistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>actuallyautistic</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/spiritualawakening" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>spiritualawakening</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/unmasking" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>unmasking</span></a></p><p>⚠ Spoiler Warning - The Matrix (1999) ⚠ The Matrix is available to stream on HBO Max.</p>
