What are your views or thoughts reguarding The Matrix? (dont know if one of these exsist but dont feel like searching either )

To me it does make me raise an eyebrow thinking about it. What got me thinking about it again. I just  rewatched The animated film Matrix. U know where they show a bunch of different short films animated .

It struck me when the sprinter wasnt supposed to race other wise he would die or something like that. Well just pondering upon that. Many Young athletes, stars, enlighted minds have passed away at early stages of their lives. Then I think about the movie phenomenon with john travolta. (Yes i know it has nothing to do with matrix movie.) But just the thought of how an event can happen and then extrodinary "powers". He passes away young as well. Kinda makes me think is there a possibilty of "something" like the matrix can be real?

What do you all think?

When one is a brain in a jar, in a world solely illusionary, reality is a very flexible concept.  To the "brain" the construct is reality and nothing can constitute a true disbelief and rejection of this "reality" (An example of this would be in Plato's cave parable).  As such, even if we were captives of a computer generated dream in a war between Machine and Man, we simply would never know.  The mind (imo) has no remarkable quirk to ascertain whether something is  truly real, it accepts the reality before it (even if it does not believe in it).  In [i]The Matrix[/i], mankind "rejects" the reality of the system through some speculative account of incompatability based on some indefinite human aspect (ie. Soul) but personally I find this a more unlikely occurence than the creation of a alternative reality.

As to what I believe, no, we do not live in an illusionary reality but even if we did it would be irrelevant.
