Agent Smith clarified that civilization progressed beyond 1999, but that it wasn't human's progress anymore.

Agent Smith: "and I say 'your' civilization, because after we started thinking for you it became 'our' civilization."

Actually, the Mayan calendar stated that 2012 is the start of a new epoch under their date system, it never said anything about the world ending. The claim that they predicted the world ending was based on nothing but "indigenous mysticism" by white people and Hollywood.

Actually, the Mayan calendar stated that 2012 is the start of a new epoch

The end of The Fifth Age and the beginning of the Sixth Age, the reawakening of the great dragons, and the start of goblinization, and the return of magic to the world.

You know, basic Shadowrun lore XD

Still waiting for the magic, not sure if I want a deck port in my brain given how many add I see on my phone.

Given how the Mayans are usually portrayed as an ancient, vanished people, I was surprised to find out that if you want to know about Mayan beliefs you can just ask them. They're the guys stood outside the archeological sites selling t-shirts.

Yeah but the world ending in 2012 had nothing to do with the Mayan calendar and everything to do with aliens destroying the moon and using it to end all life on Earth, just after scanning us all for re-creation in their matrix in the year 29000 AD

When the world was extra ridiculous over the past decade I would always tell my friends/family "the Mayans were right, the real world ended in 2012, and we have been living in a fucked up facsimile of it ever since purely for the amusement of the Mayan gods. They want to see how much they can turn up the "ridiculousness" dial on the simulation until the planet quite literally explodes

It’s good to find someone else who’s aware of this, and of our current state of existence.

In 2012 the chaos module was deployed

I say your civilization because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization which is what this is all about.

[–] MusketeerX@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still remember 1 Jan 2000. There did seem to be some sense of optimism about where things could go. At least for those of us lucky enough to live in stable, developed countries.

Cold war over, Russia and The West seemingly on the same side, China opening up, exciting new tech connecting us but no toxic social media yet...

But then... the dot com bust, 9/11, the GFC, toxic social media and the rise of "the algorithm", Xi in China, Putin in Russia, a global pandemic......

Didn't really go where we hoped, can we restore to a backup from 1999 and try again??

We didn’t start the fire, it was always burning

Ha! We need an updated version of that song.

[–] CurbsTickle@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Fall Out Boy did one in 2023.

We're currently in version 1 of the matrix which blows up. Hopefully soon.

That Santana and the guys from matchbox 20 song?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, it wasn't if you're gay or trans.....

[–] MJRul3s@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So in other words it was truly a peak of our civilization.
