So what is real?

Yesterday, I went to GAP to buy underwear. The clerk of GAP told me that the points can be exchanged for members of iQiyi, so I watched The Matrix.

Keanu Reeves is the kind of very standard handsome, every angle and every part is impeccable, but it makes people feel a little dull.

Coincidentally, I talked to my brother at night a few days ago, and asked him a question: If you can abandon your body, keep only your brain, and connect to the Internet, in this online world, you can be free from the restrictions of the body and the Restricted by resources, do what you want to do, and live the life you want, do you want to? My brother said he didn't want to, but I thought in my heart that I would.

What is real? How can we be sure that what we think is real is not a dream? If the unreal world makes you think it is real, how is it different from the real to you?

Is the body our temple or our prison?

I have been frail and sick since I was a child, suffering from physical pain. And my mother died after experiencing extreme physical pain. So the flesh is a cage for me.

We clean, feed, exercise, and protect this physical body every day, but it continues to wear out and die. Anyone who has experienced the suffering of illness should know that once the disease is afflicted, you will not expect anything but recovery. Just want to get rid of the pain. Just want a clear brain.

So, if possible, I am willing to give up, give up the reality we think, give up the flesh that imprison us, give up many restrictions.

    The philosophy in it affects my philosophical path

    Human beings are slaves of AI and more of self-awareness. This is a world full of lies, and everything around is questionable. My favorite setting for crisis is truth, setting for salvation is trust, and special police are everywhere. The existence of near omniscience, although it cannot escape the one, but the story is very close to the fantasy of the world. The world in front of me is a slow suicide procedure of human beings #It has been more than ten years since I first watched it..

The Matrix quotes

  • Morpheus: Welcome to the real world.

  • Cypher: All I do is what he tells me to do. If I had to choose between that and the Matrix, I'd choose the Matrix.

    Trinity: The Matrix isn't real.

    Cypher: I disagree, Trinity. I think that the Matrix can be more real than this world. All I do is pull a plug here, but there... you have to watch Apoc die.
