there is no spoon
Oct. 18th, 2002 10:47 amHere's an odd little thing that I stumbled across on Google.com:
THE MATRIX IS REAL
"We have a predator that came from the depths of the cosmos and took over the rule of our lives... because we are their sustenance. Just as we rear chickens in chicken coops, the predators rear us in human coops. Think for a moment, and tell me how you would explain the contradiction between the intelligence of man the engineer and the stupidity of his systems of beliefs, or the stupidity of his contradictory behavior." ~The Active Side of Infinity, Carlos Castaneda
Then the rest of the page seems to be from Amazon.com, only the book featured on that page isn't the one that the quote is from, but Carlos Casteaneda is mentioned a whole lot.
I think I'll take my blue pill, thank you. If I'm in the Matrix, I'd like to keep thinking that the sushi I'm eating is really sushi, and not some sort of nutrient mush. I'd rather not wake up to that sort of reality.
However, like Morpheus said, sometimes you wonder...
Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?
