Theory Behind the matrix
I just purchased the box set of the matrix, .. bit slow here in Australia.. but i was watching the bonus disc that contains philosophers takes on the theory behind the matrix. I must say it fascinated me a lot, im not sure if a few of them actually read between the lines a bit too much but a few of them linked a lot of the matrix to references in human history and philosophy.
Just got me thinking a bit, i mean hypothetically if someone is brought up in a prison, they accept it to be normal, as they haven't experienced anything to suggest otherwise. Bring a baby up in a square room, feed it via whatever means etc, but completely sealing it off from the outside world. Would the individual accept its surroundings? Or is there something in us that knows there is more to the world?.. I dunno im rambling a bit here, but it was just something i was having a think about, what do you guys think?
