    Quite interesting,especially this
    This means that we exist in pi, as if in a Matrix. This means that romance is never dead. Somewhere you are running through fields of wheat, holding hands with someone you love, as the sun sets -- all in the digits of pi. You are happy. You will live forever.
    Its hard to think about it but THE MATRIX may be more real than any of us think!

    the Matrix is simply a variation on a very common philosophical theme, from Plato's cave to us as "brains in a vat". The thing is, that isn't all that different from how we live our lives normally. We are brains in a vat, where the vat is our body, and the world we see around us is simply a perception in the mind.

    Robert Nozick wrote this famous short defence of reality, called 'The Experience Machine' arguing that there is more to life than the experience of life.

    Yes in the matrix they were plugged in if ya remember!

    And when they were IN THE MATRIX they didnt have any plugs on them (LIKE WE DONT HAVE ANY PLUGS ON US) Makes ya wonder if we arent off sleeping somewhere all the time like they were on the ship! (While in the matrix)


    This could all be a dream... NOT REAL!! (They say the mind creates reality)

    this is all a dream, and we don't need to be plugged into the matrix for that to be true.

    the world we see around us is a mental representation of an "external" reality
