Document Summary

20th century lit and film: 1929 film: metropolis : One of the first science fiction movies: cinema itself is a kind of science fiction. When you let go of what you think you know, it can be uncomfortable. Anxiety occurs when you"re about to think of something you thought you shouldn"t think about: knowing, being, thinking, doing, understanding . are all different thing. Idea of understanding: when buddy from metropolis sees the people underneath the metropolis, he understands. When neo takes the blue pill, he understands: used to be more clear in earlier centuries because there was no need to understand. That was all explained by some god. It wasn"t your job to know, but you know whatever god says is right. Idea of a soul connects you to the divine. Transcendental certitude: a certainty that is transcended in this world: with the loss of all-seeing, all knowing god = loss of transcendental certitude.
