People often mention having conversations near their phone and later seeing related content come up on their phone's internet.
This morning I was 'thinking' about a recent post on here about addiction, and a comment I made about addiction to prescribed reality. So, my thoughts were about the film The Matrix and I was trying to remember what happened to Neo when he transitioned from being in the Matrix to waking up from his pod and being rescued by the team of people including Morpheus and Trinity. I was trying to remember if he showed signs of being an addict in this transition phase, because I remembered he wasn't very well for a while, very weak, and had to be looked after, which fit the idea of an addict going cold turkey (he had left the prescribed reality). So I was puzzling all this in my mind and thinking about the film makers and how they might have come to their ideas for the story, which seems very progressive for the time it was made, etc,
Long story short, I was looking at YouTube on and off this evening and just now I scroll and see a video with Trinity on the front. I scroll further and there is a horizontal line of videos, like when you get reels and stuff interrupting the feed sideways, and they are ALL about The Matrix.
So, my question is, is the internet able to read/receive/respond to internal thoughts now? Could this be unexpected AI? Not necessarily designed to do that but an organic development from our minds constantly interacting with the network. Our not knowing fully what we created and the possibilities.
I was wondering, if this were the case now, then what would the wider global collectives reaction be? Would this be an "event", the realisation occuring en masse. And what are the implications of there being no boundaries to this network?
Has anyone else experienced this? Not speaking something, just thinking it and then it appears in some form on the internet.
I think it's possible because I've experienced it a number of times... too many to be coincidental.
We're not all crazy. Something(s) are afoot!
Someone (anyone) on the radio OFTEN speaks the same word I'm either thinking or typing at exactly the same moment.
I'm sure I have on some occasion opened YouTube intending to search for something, but idly scrolled a bit first, and then happened upon the thing I intended to search for.
Could it actually be our minds "manifesting" -- spontaneously, UNintentionally, randomly, subconsciously -- in Our consciousness? Like when they say you can manifest wealth or whatever -- only without trying? A glitch in the matrix?
There are no witnesses to these experiences, assuming we didn't Tell anyone what we were thinking about before it happened. Try an experiment: Write something, specific and uncommon, on a piece of paper without telling anyone, without speaking it or typing it, and put it away where no one will see it. See if the matter turns up soon on media. Of course, this will Not be quite the same as it's not spontaneous, unintentional, random, or subconscious.
Also, I posted a Garland jeffreys video two days ago. I also wrote a friend an email, doing more than just mentioning him...I told a story.
Tonight, I have seen a commercial with his music in it, at least three times.
I think I'm immune to, as in it won't result in a sale, but I bet there is more to it. These days, i feel i can only think "bird thoughts", if you know the reference. Means, it's beyond me. Light years. .
Maybe we could all do our own experiments to see.
Great thread topic. I think I have experienced all that has been mentioned, and it is mind blowing to think that our devices may be picking up on our thoughts. Is this a chicken or egg situation?- which came first?. Are our minds/antennas picking up info in the air around us before it reaches the radio , PC etc or are the devices using AI to read us.
Off the topic of AI and internet, does anyone else experience this socially?
Prior to visiting my hairdresser I was thinking of a non common topic. I couldn’t believe that within minutes of seeing her she brought this up to me. I think this is like psychic phenomena. I experience these human to human experiences more often than radio/ internet coincidences.
Anyway, love this sort of stuff. Let’s keep this thread a rockin 🎸 🥁.
