I think I brought this up here before but a friend of mine just reminded me of something that I think is important to point out.
He's began practising coming up with his own comic book like character designs and I was pointing out to him that it is often times hard to come up with something completely original because even though we think it is, we're just recalling what we've seen in the past, forgot about and are now adding our own spices to it.
This pretty much is how I see Religion, Philosophy and Conspiracy. Most of the sci-fi stories written are variations of suggestions handed to people via the different church organizations which teach different versions of conspiracy theory but still associating those different conspiracies with just the Bible.
Such as 'The Second Death' (for example) from the Seventh Day Adventists. Anyone associating what we know of the technology in our environment would come to the conclusion that this suggests that we are in a virtual reality or artificial simulation of a real world we have yet to see.
Now take this old idea from the Church and consider how many times artists have repeated this same concept in many different ways throughout movies, music, television and even children's puzzle books and cartoons and we're all buried up to our eyebrows in endless, mirroring, subliminal influence which resulted from an ancient text.
The problem I had when I was younger was that I thought that I was coming to conclusions about the secrets of life on my own not realizing that I was just rebuilding from memory and now making sense of all the propositional stories and lyrics in television shows and music.
In a sense it is a form of virtual reality, the real life is yet to come.
