I may be wrong, but from what I have seen in Thailand as a tourist and pilgrim, I got an impression that Thailand is and was somewhat less absorbed by the Matrix and less abused by it compared to the rest of the world. That must be thanks to I do not know which powerful and smart people over there. Whether those are royals, or generals or monks or businessmen I do not know. But I did get a feeling that you guys were protected best as possible from this madness. Sure you had inflation, and all the trans problems and so on, but Matrix was too powerful, impossible to shield from it completely without becoming something like North Korea or Iran.

It would take listing many fine details to explain what makes me think that, but it seemed to me that life is better in Thailand than in the western world, not to mention Africa, Latin America, China, and India.
