We actually went to see the second Matrix with my philosophy class. I promise I'll search for all of the handouts we got discussing the philosophy involved with the first. It was quite awesome.
Though it's an interesting question to ponder, I don't think it really even matters. We are where we are, and all we have is our sense experiences. It's not as if a giant classy man is going to come offer us pills for us to become superheros. Hell, even if a giant classy man gave you pills telling you all of the stuff that Morpheus told Neo, I doubt most of us would take them!
