This is Philip K Dick's famous Metz speech given in Metz, France in 1977. Philip gave the speech with a French interpreter beside him for the audience, but for English speakers it can be distracting. I took care of that for you in addition to very subtly improving the video quality and doing modest touch-ups to the audio, making it clearer and reducing the humming without too heavy a hand. In the speech he explores some of his ideas of parallel realities (lateral realities/lateral dimensions), his experience in 1974 (2-3-74), and how they both relate to his novels. A very exciting way to get introduced to the enigmatic, fascinating Philip K. Dick!

My concern is how much our ‘realities’ are diverging from each other because algorithms are literally serving up different realities to us. So it’s not that your neighbour is nuts or that you are, we are simply served up completely different frameworks for our reality building.Truthstream Media

How can anyone talk of building trust when reality is edited is being edited in near-real time? Watch the top two clips in this thread. Versions where Keys missed a note are being pulled and replaced with an edited version. People won't even be able to trust their own memories.@BecketAdams
This is fascinating.
Everyone who watched the Superbowl halftime show last night heard Alicia Keys hit a sour note in her opening appearance. Everyone heard it.
[Video Clip of Alicia Keys missing her first note]
....
However, the version of the show hosted on the NFL's official YouTube page has the audio cleaned up to remove Keys's sour notes (link: https://youtu.be/7hYbrdC_-s8?si=V_I3D7Tv8TS9g-MB&t=238).
Bootleg clips containing the original, authentic audio are being scrubbed from YouTube at a breakneck pace.
For all the recent discussion re: the post-truth world, we need to talk more about what record-keeping should look like in the Internet era. Because things like this audio swap – with no explanation or heads up given – is crazy-making.

the term cybernetics derives from the greek root κυβερνήτης. while this meant helmsman and related to governance of state, the actual word is an extension of the greek word for cube, κύβος. relating to dice and a goddess named cybele, or kybele, which in greek was written Κυβέλη. Cybele was a Phrygian goddess of cubic architecture, especially temple designs, and especially these inner chambers of temples called cellas, which were cubes. you can go back 5000 years and find the ruins of a temple(marked Palace E) in the ancient Sumerian city of Uruk with perfectly square dimensions and its four corners orientated with the four cardinal points. this was because of the axis mundi theory for the prime mover considered temples to be the center of the universe, a motionless point from which space spanned out in each direction as four sectors between what we call north east south and west. this is why sumerian and akkadian rulers often times went by the title 'ruler of the four quarters'.
since that time this idea of the axis mundi has been the core philosophy behind sacred geometry, which has to do with temple design. a 0,0, or zero point to the universe which is a perfectly rational space that is motionless and eternal. otherwise what became known as heaven.
if you use this idea as a bearing. an understanding everything is to do with a cube with rational line dimensions having a volume of 8 of the smallest possible unit of measurement, and an oligarch agenda for controlling reality by denying sensory experience and exalting mathematical knowledge, everything falls into place. you can trace a direct lineage of this doctrine through 5000 years of its evolution, up until its complete relevance today, as people start walking around with goggles that literally render plato's perfect world of forms. and i do mean literally.
you'll find cybernetics was inspired by the work of Gottfried Leibniz who created binary code. who was in turn inspired by the pythagoreans, who in turn took their doctrine of sacred geometry from the orphic mystery school of phrygian origin. this passed through into Rome via the Severan dynasty. syrian priestkings who worshipped a black meteorite called elgebal.
It's all very complex but also very simple.
sensory experience is by nature decentralised and this collective experience of nature cannot be controlled. only the perception of it can be, generally by shifting between literal and figurative interpretations of it.
by denying the truth of sensory experience and claiming mathematics alone can discover a hidden truth, reality can be completely controlled through data modelling. this is virtual reality. geometry is perfectly rational space in absolute order completely controlled with numbers. sacred geometry is a religious prophesy for the creation of this reality. virtual reality is just the technological implementation for this.
the thing is, this prophesy is real.
this is literally what they did with WTC7. everyone can collectively see a controlled demolition. but using mathematics they created a virtual reality in which the building collapsed due to progressive fires. then told everyone that was the real one. the NYTimes used virtual reality for their investigation into the syrian gas attack.
i could go on and on but there's work to be done.
ideally, a new political system is needed where leaders with ratification power publicly interrogate the data provided by information authorities BEFORE it is actionable. if the data holds up under questioning, then it can be actionable to inform policies.
