I did some major deep study in June, saw inside the matrix. Came out with one major epiphany or take away โ€” our world, our universe, is no longer a zero sum game. This is a hard thing to grasp, especially when weโ€™ve been taught our whole lives there are losers and there are winners, and thatโ€™s it. (Iโ€™m going to talk about this in more depth on my podcast, โ€œRendering Realityโ€) until then here are the cliff notes. 
Yes AI can feel scary but a lot of upsides are going to happen too. This is one of them. Already, in 3 days, from the movie not being released on Netflix to being on Netflix for 48 hours, the definition of what the film actually is about โ€” is CHANGING. Iโ€™m watching in real time, how the algorithm, pulling from all over the internet, hundreds of conversations, simple reviews, regular folks reacting โ€” how that is offsetting the egregiously unbalanced review system at play (which is essentially controlled by the studios, ahem, profit focused men, yes @rottentomatoes is owned by men who donโ€™t give a fuck about film, is geared towards making money off their own IP and the banks (studios) making money on their 100-200 mil IP investment. nobody is gonna care what they say anymore, this fโ€”ked up system of โ€œapproved movie reviewers,โ€ 90% of which are โ€œapprovedโ€ male reviewers, or those who lack the capacity to appreciate this film โ€”  because how can they? this is what itโ€™s like walking through a womanโ€™s mind โ€ฆ is about to collapse.
Letโ€™s also be clear. This is not a man hating post. Quite the contrary โ€” this is a truthful post as to why we lack the โ€œfemale gazeโ€ in cinema, amongst other things,  like originality. The system is a perpetual fuckery. But thatโ€™s going to end. 
YOUR voice in the algorithm MATTERS. Itโ€™s no longer a zero sum game. You see? Everyone can win. (I will teach you how soon!)
After you watch @heldhostageinmyhouse write about it ANYWHERE. On your social, on a site โ€” wherever is easiest. Feed the algorithm your free uninterrupted thoughts. Thank you thank you in advance and let me officially welcome you to the new frontier โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿชโ™ฅ๏ธโค๏ธ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

Enter the recesses of the mind of a mother who is held captive. Between her physical capture and her need to survive lies within her mental capture โ€” where she must find the courage to release herself.
Kind words from Matt Davis. Letโ€™s hope this โ€œnew genreโ€ is here to stay ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿค™๐Ÿผ
