Post The Matrix
One of the greatest films of all time, IMHO. It's a metaphor for our current world of deception.

"That's why it's so exquisite."

I couldn't agree more.


Philosophy and the Matrix

Thanks to Andy for pointing out this video to me.

Post Re: The Matrix
Plato gave us the Allegory of the Cave. The Wachowski Brothers gave us The Matrix. I've seen this movie many times, and I consider it likely the best film ever made, and one of the most important films for humanity ever made. It is absolutely brilliant. Every time I watch it I learn something new. Now, for the first time, I've had the privilege to take a tour of the movie with an experienced guide. It is such a delight to have a teacher help me see things I hadn't seen yet. It is also another very interesting synchronicity (from 54:00 to 54:37), as it follows my decision to disengage from an "agent" of the sociopathic system (andywight).

I would recommenced that you stop using Hollywood or proponents of slavery as a source for your inspiration Chicodoodoo, maybe try REAL LIFE!

Quote:
...nature herself intimates that it is just for the better to have more than the worse, the more powerful than the weaker; and in many ways she shows, among men as well as among animals, and indeed among whole cities and races, that justice consists in the superior ruling over and having more than the inferior.
- Plato.

I learnt the majority of my lessons from real life, but if you prefer Hollywood so be it!

Would he allow slaves to watch movies?

Ya you got me dandy, your just exposing tons of hypocrisy. Your a joke, you won't acknowledge anything but your own delusion and blindly discredit anything that confronts it. Nice world you live in bud. You might want to let that shrink know all these problems you got. They might have to refer a specialist for you, but why would you ever stop your gambit. You think your on top of the world. :lol:
