Reloading the Matrix discussion

Reading some of your postings, especially Zhi Yun's (again), i feel compelled to say something.

Read pp. 279-281.

I think that here, we can start to piece together what the Party is really about, the nature of their power. Isn't what the Party after really simply complete STASIS? Nothing but the operation of their power over the rest of Oceania. That's all that mattered. Our government, most governments (and we all believe in this) puts all it has on GROWTH and IMPROVEMENT. The Oceanic one wants NONE of that. They might as well have another slogan : Growth is Destruction. All it, the Party, wants, is for the people to obey and they to continue ruling forever. Now... isn't that exactly what was happening to humans in the world of the Matrix? We were held completely subservient to the machines and were made to think whatever they wanted us to think. All we had to do was serve as batteries. Perhaps looking at 1984 from this perspective offered by The Matrix might help explain WHY it is so power-hungry, WHY falsification is so important.
