you talk like morpheus...

I was having a discussion with R about reality and truth.


What is real? What is true? What is a fact? All these things exist on a continuum. It all depends on the time we’re currently living in, our current technology, our society, norms, culture… There is no such thing as an absolute FACT. People used to think the earth was flat. THAT was a fact. Now we say it isn’t true. The earth is ROUND. But how do we know? We are limited by our current knowledge. What we perceive as a fact now may well be rubbish in the future. Take what we see. Is it really the object we’re seeing? No. It’s just a representation made by our brains. We are not really seeing the object, we’re just seeing what our brain tells us to….


Woah…. you sound just like Morpheus. R shakes his head and laughs at me. He’s probably thinking in his head, there she goes again. I should know better than to argue crap with her……


Morpheus?

Yes! Morpheus from Matrix!


Um…I don’t really remember the movie except the blue pill and the red pill and the dodging bullets. I think I was 12 …didn’t really understand it then.


WHAT?! You gotta watch it.


And so we did. And OH. MY. GOD. (think of Janice’s voice from FRIEND’s) I do talk like Morpheus. MAN, matrix is like, so my kinda shit.
