One of those surreal moments

greybetaLast Friday, I attended an honors discussion with a professor of communications. Every once in awhile, the honors program invites a professor to give a lecture at Tulsa, and it's usually something cutting edge. This lady talked about "traumas of code," or how traumas seem to be imprinted as some sort of code in the human brain. When something triggers the code in the brain, we react to it (usually negative). Makes sense.
She went on to say that everything we record has some sort of code. That itself wasn't too revolutionary (thank you Matrix and introducing existentialist philosophy to the masses). What made the discussion surreal was the following line:
"Mamoru Oshii, director of Ghost in the Shell, has a movie called Avalon that perfectly displays the ambiguity between the real world and the code world."
I have now crossed out I'll-never-hear-a-visiting-professor-make-an-anime-reference from my Things D2 will never hear or see at TU.
