The fact that such behavior has been well-masked by perverted cultural shells created by civilization, which have covered in the behavior of people that, which is unmistakably manifested in the behavior of March cats, does not change the essence of the problem.
No one can accuse the American cinema of being delicate in questions of publicly displaying the naked human body and various manipulations with sexual organs. The fact that the the “connection” shown in the stone-age drawing is not shown in the movie, speaks to a lack of understanding of its true role in the fate of contemporary civilization by the film’s creators. However, as it is said, “show nature out the door — it will show itself in through the window”, and if the problem really exists, then an artist will, regardless of his wishes, reflect it in his work. Such is the case with the film “Matrix”.
Even though the film does not show the “connection” on the basis of sexual instincts is in scenes of disconnection from “Matrix” feelers and of medical aid to Anderson, the authors of the film have not managed to avoid considering its influence on the fate of the resistance’s battle with the bad “Matrix”. In scenes, where “combat training” of Anderson is shown, among other programs developed by the “real world” programmers in fighting against the “Matrix”, there is an episode which corresponds to exactly this “connection”.
Morpheus and Anderson walk along the street of a city, simulated by the training program. In the monotonous crowd a woman in red walks by them, with her appearance sharply standing out. Anderson, having passed the woman in red, under the guidance of his unconscious automatisms, follows her with his eyes, as his instincts tell him to. But the “woman in red” turns into an “agent” of the “Matrix” and nearly opens fire. The attentive, thinking spectator will understand, that a human — to be free from bad matrices — should have such a structure of unconscious automatism algorithmics, as to not be hostage of instincts, as well as their cultural shells.
6. Freedom is in the Transformation of contents, and not in the change of appearances
From all other kinds of animals in the Earth’s biosphere, humans differ, besides having articulate speech, by the following:
● humans have a mind, which is free in the sense, that it defines the limits of what is possible (including morally and ethically acceptable) for itself[12];
● humans have will, which always acts from the conscious level, and which can control behaviour to satisfy certain requirements and limits, produced by the mind (intellect) or intuition.
But will is not entirely free, since a human is compelled in some situations to use willpower in order to overcome obstacles in behaviour, imposed by instincts, habits, cultural norms, and so on. If the willpower is not strong enough in some situations, then people are not capable of realising their intentions, as their behaviour is subdued by factors, that their will cannot overcome.
In the film, however, a “normal” human being from the authors’ point of view, born free in the “real world” outside of the bad “Matrix”, is characterised by other qualities: “To deny our own impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us human”. Declarations of this sort are either a stupidity said thoughtlessly, or a malicious attempt to embed a false understanding of human psyche into the subconscious of the audience (primarily youth audience) under the cover of a thriller plot. Basic software, embedded into microchips (like BIOS of contemporary computers), is in essence like “inherited instincts” of machines, regardless of the complexity of machines or their software.
In fact, the human — God’s creation — differs and will always differ from the most complex machines by:
● firstly, the freedom of the mind in setting aims and defining limits of possible, morally and ethically acceptable for itself;
● secondly, the willpower, with which he can overcome many obstacles, limiting his freedom of will.
In the entire technosphere, in all machines, their software, and in everything else created by people, manifests the true morality and ethics of people, as well as their psyche type. Therefore, if artificial intelligence appears to be anti-human, like it is in the movie, then it is an expression of the anti-humaneness of the psyche of its creators and developers.
Strictly speaking, as a result of the freedom of mind in setting aims and conscious willpower, which overcomes various limits, the culture of contemporary civilization has been developed. However, as a consequence of the dominance of the animal psychetype, achievements of the culture are still under control of the instinctual behaviour programs, which create inter-species and intra-species competition for the better place under the sun in the natural conditions of the biosphere. Сorrelating with the psychetype of the vast majority, an animal armed with a mind that is free in setting aims and defining what is possible and morally-ethically acceptable, armed with technology and magic, is unnatural. Such kind of animal is not provided for by God’s providence, and consequently this kind does not belong in the all-enclosing universal matrix.
Restoration of the natural order of things in the Universe is possible in two versions of the future destiny of mankind:
● either rollback of the human-like biomass into fauna, with close to total nullification of its culture and memory, by means characteristic to higher-order matrices of life;
● or the transition of society to the dominance of the humane psychetype and a respective culture, by means of mind and will, that allow free aim-setting and limit-setting of what is possible and morally-ethically acceptable.
All of the above is within bounds of basic school courses of biology and psychology. Unfortunately, school courses of biology, psychology, history and other subjects are scattered and are not interrelated contextually, creating a kaleidoscopic worldview in school children, in which every known fact exists on its own, being torn away from the facts known from other subjects, and from real life. Possibly that is precisely why the youth, which has yet to live independently in the adult world, in an unconscious effort to create a holistic picture of the world’s interrelations, responds much faster than older generations to “The Matrix”, which brings up these problems in a non-lexical form of the figurative-allegorical narrative, bypassing the conscious of its audience.
The attitude of the film creators to the system of “connections”, analogous to the one pictured on the wall of an african cave, is ambiguous and inconsistent:
● on one hand, in the process of transfer of the conscious of the protagonist from the “Matrix” reality into the reality of supposed freedom, it was not shown, although the American cinema, as mentioned earlier, is not known to exercise delicacy in demonstrating naked human body and various acts, directly or indirectly concerning genitalias of men and women;
● on the other hand, the topic of the “woman in red” (who transforms into an “agent” of the “Matrix” in one of the training programs) is raised repeatedly, attracting attention to the problem of liberation of the individual and society from the dictatorship of instincts and their cultural shells in the algorithms of the unconscious levels of psyche.
In this ambivalent attitude of film authors towards the problem of normal human psychetype, manifested the mostly unconscious battle between two mutually exclusive tendencies in the biblical culture.

Minds of all other highly developed animals cannot escape the limits, set from Above in the matrix, that predetermines life of the current biosphere.
