The first time I ever flew the long-haul from Melbourne to LA across the Pacific back in 1992 I wondered about this "globe" idea. The flight was obviously level the entire way. At that time I was a very keen space and astronomy fan.
Still, I wondered...what was really true?
Exit the Matrix
In the movie The Matrix, when Morpheus tells Neo that "you have to understand that most people aren't prepared to be unplugged from the system," he's talking about a profound truth of human nature. The "system" in the Matrix is a metaphor for the illusion of what is real, an artificial construction designed to control and subdue humanity by giving them a false sense of reality.
Most people today live trapped in this illusion, unable or unwilling to see beyond the veil of lies, manipulation, and control. Morpheus understands that, for many, the comfort of the system is preferable to the unsettling and often painful process of awakening to the truth. People have been conditioned from the cradle, through years of indoctrination, sometimes generations, to accept the world as it is presented to them.
Unplugging from this system is facing a harsh, sometimes unbearable, reality that everything they thought was real is, in fact, a lie. This requires courage, willingness to embrace discomfort, and most importantly, a willingness to let go of what one thought was the truth. Morpheus also knew that those who are still connected to the system are often his most ardent advocates. Why? Because the system has become their identity. Their sense of self, their beliefs, their values, are all tied to the illusions and constructions of that system.
Threatening them is threatening everything they cherish. For many, it's easier to defend the system than to face the possibility that they've been deceived.

Сегодня ночью поступил мужчина 36 лет, который не имел хронических заболеваний, просто ночью проснулся в туалет и сердце остановилось
Реанимировали около 8 минут, поступил к нам в реанимацию,
Причиной стал инфаркт, поставили два стента и вроде бы все в порядке
Но, пациент не показывает никаких самостоятельных в том числе никаких рефлекторных реакций
Будем наблюдать дальше, но каждый раз на работе в такие моменты вновь ловишь себя на мысли:
