All I’m Offering is the Truth | The Philosophy of the Matrix
소스 코드
- 게시일 2024. 04. 26.
- The Matrix, a science fiction film created by the Wachowskis, is probably one of the most influential movies ever made. The story starts when computer programmer Thomas Anderson, operating as a hacker under the alias “Neo,” discovers the truth about the world he’s living in, as he becomes aware of the existence of something known as “The Matrix.”
The Matrix is considered a philosophical film that contains many existing philosophical and religious themes, like prophecy, love, truth, karma, the nature of reality, and living in a simulation. But there seems to be a particularly close connection between The Matrix and Plato’s Allegory of the Cave.
This video (All I’m Offering Is The Truth | The Philosophy of the Matrix) is a philosophical analysis of the Matrix film. It analyses The Matrix through the lens of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave while exploring the following question: do we, as human beings, actually want the truth?
Please note: this video contains spoilers that reveal the plot.

I was having this discussion with someone yesterday. It's like we're regressing as a society. The most shocking thing is when you speak the truth people look at you as if you're insane.
Yes, regressing while the prevailing school of political thought tells us that we are progressing.
"The most shocking thing is when you speak the truth people look at you as if you're insane." - and how so you are so sure that your truth is THE truth? For me you are just presumptuous, sure about your superiority. They are for sure wrong, when they think I'm insane.

True! I'm so thankful that some understands
As a kid I loved matrix for it's innovative film making, effects, fights, sci FI. Today I love it even more because of the message.
I understood most of the movie alagories, but never knew of the Plato story until now. This brings an incredible new dimension to The Matrix and the human condition. Thank you.
have a look at who else was when plato was around, and find out how he died, u will be extreme suprised
I had philosophy classes before watching the Matrix. Different order, same result 😊
Go beyond, get past concepts. Truth is beyond seeing there is a matrix in the way humans see themselves and live life.
@Sean-vh8pm - depends how far you want to go... "Simulacron-3" (1964) > and then "World on a Wire"(1973), or more recent "13th Floor" (1999).
Then you have books such as "Neuromancer" (1984), "Simulacra and Simulation" (1981), Snow Crash (2000). Or older one such as Heinlein "They" (1941). Not exacly pure simulation that one, but close enough. So those concepts have been known for a while, it is just Matrix put them together much better, into one good movie.
Or the usuall approach of Jung or even Joseph Campbell, Donald Hoffman, John Archibald Wheeler, James Glattfelder, Seth Lloyd, Eduardo Kastrup, Edward Edinger, Gary Lachman, or even approaching people like Tom Campbell and his youtube video: "Anu Physics Experiment and the Implications for Everyone" - or the usual "suspects" of a classic philosophy and old stories: Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Confucius, Homer or even Marcus Aurelius... Hell, even Cicero is pretty good one, as his observations are stil valid to this age (and can easily be applied to the current society).
Or you can always go for the research done by Peter Fenwick, Pim van Lommel - as this is a way is also a step to understand our current reality, and especially consciousness. A different kind of research but also interesting one about our reality (as Fenwick did his research at various hospitals, hospices, and getting data from medical professionals, patients, and family mambers; in a way it was the same with Lommel).
And all of that is realated to the modern research into consciousness, quantum physics, artificial intelligence (you may love that especially if you know multiple programming languages) - paints a very interesting picture of a current reality/existence, and how we are perceiving it. And that is just a tip of a larget iceberg here. Not enough space to mention all the modern research and books here....

Guys the real truth is there is no truth
I know that feeling. My three best friends I have known since I was a child (I’m now 54) turned out to be my biological siblings. My parents knew, but never told me, raising me as an only child. For whatever reason they gave the other three up for adoption (I was #2, go figure that one!), and by pure coincidence those three families all moved to the same neighbourhood we lived in, without knowing it. Throughout our lives, people would always comment that the four of us looked like siblings, because we did look a lot alike. At first, we thought it was funny, but after a few years, we became suspicious. But then we graduated high school and went our separate ways to university, only to end up, coming back to the same neighbourhood to raise our families, two decades later, and we were reunited. Again, people started pointing out how much we looked alike, so we did a DNA test. We were absolutely in shock that we all have the exact same mother and father, MY mother and father. They all had adopted mothers and fathers, but didn’t know they were adopted. It was as though everything I believed in fell out from under me. We were all in complete shock, and absolutely furious with the people we called our parents. The four of us are closer than ever before knowing that we are actually siblings, but we want nothing to do with the parents that screwed us over, and lied to us our entire lives. Maybe in time we might consider forgiveness, but not right now. What they did was inexcusable! Even though we were friends, we didn’t share that special bond you get with known siblings, and while we can never get it back, we’re trying to make up for lost time, in an entirely different and new reality, one that none of us could have ever anticipated. It truly made me question if anything in my life was actually real, as it did my siblings as well. I thank God I have my siblings, but I’m just so angry at my parents for lying to me my entire life (as a teenager, I asked them several times, if my friends were actually related to me, because people were so insistent, and each time they lie to me, and said no, and told me I was just imagining things) I don’t know if I can ever forgive them for that.
what stories some people have, incredible....
that u are angry is part of the matrix.
fake
I would pray and ask Jesus to help you with this dilemma. Because if you don't forgive the sins your parents have done to you, your sins won't be forgiven either.

Most people look for something that makes them happy and makes life livable. Truth is harsh and can depress some people. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, ignorance is truly bliss. Once you see the truth you can't unsee it.
As you know, humans are greedy and power hungry, would you be surpised if they've already had taken over the world? the world is ruled by a small group of powerful people which want to create a totalitarian dystopian new world order
Your not kidding...
The more time that passes, the scarier and more normal the reality of the Matrix seems
I think in a way the media projects a sort of warped reality as the matrix ...
Yep.
The matrix is communist propaganda. Cultural terrorism, as practiced in the Matrix trilogy, is the exaltation of destruction of cultural idioms. In the Matrix we are not asked by the studios and the film’s creators to imagine a new or alternative reality or illusion (as in traditional socialist realism). Rather, the audience is openly solicited to explore the deeper philosophical meaning of a massive killing spree fantasized about in a drug-induced illusion by the "hero" of the films - the character Neo. That core plot line is designed to draw in audiences with Western mythology and Christian doctrine, including a protagonist in the role of a New Christ figure, only to have the heroes of the film openly reject that programming and engage in a blood-soaked rampage through a Westernized Republican America (symbolizing Chicago ruled by supposedly evil FBI/Secret Service Agents that all look and act the same) that results in the complete and utter annihilation of Western Civilization and restore religious values such as.
Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple." - Jesus
Luke 12:51 "Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division." - Jesus
"He who loves 50 people has 50 woes; he who loves no one has no woes." - Buddha
The problem isn't capitalism it's religion.
Cambridge University just revealed that they have successfully created an embryo synthetically and without an egg or sperm. It is cultivated form stem cells (mouse). This reminds me of "the awakening" scene from the pod and a dangerous prelude to what's to come.
I got out of the matrix
"Could it be that we fundamentally don't want the truth but a story; a story to believe in, identify with, share with others, dwell on, share with others and, perhaps most importantly, to provide us with meaning and belonging."
Very insightful. I can't help but have many of today's arguments regarding self‐identity and group identity brought to mind. The idea that many common ways people use to identify themselves or others with are a figment of one's own imagination and therefore can be changed through sheer force of will. We are becoming a society where others must agree with one's own perception of themselves, regardless of obvious evidence to the contrary. This is nothing short of madness.
First time I saw this as a kid I thought it was a fantastic movie. Only many years later have I understood the truth behind the movie and there is nothing that beats it. When people ask me what my favourite movie is: I always say the matrix and people tend to look down as they think of it as action movie, I only smirk back because they wouldn't understand.
they think of it as action movie??? you need new friends.
@@justaguy-69This person didn’t say the people that asked were friends. Don’t make assumptions that harm or are not kind to people.
Yeah indeed the movie isn't what will wake you up, but will resonate in your thoughts as soon as you're ready to relate. The moment you understand this movie at its core, your life changes forever and you start to see the trends in every other movies you watched and will watch.
I don’t know many people that look down on someone saying the Matrix is their favorite film. It has aged fantastically almost 30 years later, the messages are deep and thought provoking, and the action is beautifully choreographed
@Bankai2169 The movie includes many philosophical truths. The awakening (red pill) mostly refers to Plato's cavern analogy. Many more are present and that is why it will NEVER get old.
When you are able to figure out when someone is lying or manipulating you it's almost like a superpower but it only comes after carefully analyzing and connecting a long series of inconsistencies
It's not the only way but possibly the most ignorant.
Try telepathy or ai or even a study in super position or psychology over a long series.
learning the red flags of narcissism helps speed up one's exit
Yep, that goes for cheating & lying. You will catch the person with numerous lies & weird behavior, until your able to put the pieces together. Now that you know the truth, do you except your reality or continue making excuses for someone who is playing you for a fool??????
Yeah like my 50
Why not harness the narcissist? There is a use for everything if you can notice the pattern and (safely) manipulate it for your needs. Ex. If you find a waterfall, build a waterwheel under it and benefit from the natural current. Convert the natural force into a useable form of energy for your needs and let the waterfall rage on.
Or not, idk.

In my youth I took my mom to see the 2 best movies of their time Star Wars and The Matrix, with my young daughter, at a neighborhood theater. Both were wide eyed and amazed beyond words with Trinity's opening scene. I had already seen it earlier in the week so we went on a Saturday.
The Matrix broke me in a deep existential way at 17 years old. Trust me. You don't want the truth. There is nothing you can do once you know anyway, so just live your lives and try to be forces for good.
What is this "Truth" that we don't want?
@@OpenheartOneMind one reality is how evil the people running the world are, but it’s obvious if you look, war, starvation, child labour, human trafficking, every single one of these issues are easily solvable if someone with power wanted to solve them, but the kind of people who want to solve them don’t have any power, and the people with the power have no desire to solve them, they would actually like to see things become much worse for anyone who isn’t them. There ya go the ugly reality of this world.
@@OpenheartOneMindthe truth is how choice is an illusion created by the big business firms the ones incharge, the fact is we don't have a choice and the more you think on it the more you realise it since we all are chasing something in life we tend to forget that this chase is programmed into our minds to control is like the movie, we people who live in constant stress of getting to the top are like the batteries for the top corporates, banks and politicians to fullfill their needs, we are their slave and this enslavement is not seen in real life like the Matrix, we can feel it around us but can't see it cause this is the enslavement of mind..
More than twenty years later, The Matrix still stands the test of time. Screenwriters can learn a lot from this brilliantly written story.
I’ve never watched it. It’s the kind of film that would go over my head after 5 minutes, like Inception

Divinity not trinity!
I am really sure that matrix biggest enemy is Islamic religion Couse Anyone in the western are the most people clause to the matrix and what they do any western person who hears Islam thinks killers terrorists and bad people but if you search Islam and truth of it it's totally different so for example when Andrew Tate revert to Islam and said good things about Taliban's who are only protecting there people but matrix shows them as bad people , as soon as you realize the truth they will ban you. than jail you. later kill you
The most scary thing about chasing the truth is that all the lies that you are surrounded with will fall first .
No, it’s finding others.
I gotta stop making comments. 😩
No sir. Lies will always prevail over truth as people digest lies much faster and better than the truth. Truth has no value in a matrix of lies around you. And we can never escape it no matter what we claim.
So i have learned to not fight the matrix this year. Embrace the matrix and be free of all worries. 😇
@@homecoder7816 you're right 👍
And the fact that you cannot unsee it. You will know more, but it will burden you.
The word " Matrix" came from the Indus valley civilization where it is called " Maya" ,a Sanskrit word , actually " Maya" ,the word mostly found in Sanskrit texts and back then Sanskrit was taught in Indian Universities and in Sanskrit literature the goal of Education is " Get rid of Maya( Matrix) " which is " संसारस्य मायाभ्यं मुक्ति करूत " ❤❤❤
Ive helped people beat depression. Basically what happens is pain and fear create a story which becomes a reality that perpetually creates pain. To break the reality you have to know that the pain and fear are not real, and you are in control of labeling your pain and fear as positive....nothing positive can hurt you. The hardest part for people is letting that idea go. Pain and fear have to be real in the brain and people will fight to keep it. That is why helping someone from rock bottom is easier. They are at a point they realize their reality is not working and are open to change. This video is right. 99% still think what we live in real. People like Ford and Carnegie really understood our Matrix

@Charger Dave buddhism is way too popular, worldly, for my taste, and too much commerce going on around it, to be THE truth. I prefer Jesus, the true teachings as anyone can read them for themselves in scripture, and teach them accordingly, even the big organizations who abuse Jesus name for worldly power are being exposed through that very word, such as the catholic church. You never hear a buddhist call out the evil doers in this world! And that is a huge warning sign.

Great vid... I think one thing often overlooked in this type of discussion... Is the warped sense of time one gains after freeing themselves of an illusion or finding out the truth... One may move hastily towards a new so called truth or... Procrastinate from making any new decisions in fear of falling for a new lie...in my experience... Formulating a plan if action, and a process that identifies whether you are moving towards truth or constantly falling down the rabbit hole is key... A great way to do this is to just make a decision and on the way keep fact checking whether the decision is right, and never be afraid evr again to change your mind if you find out it was wrong decision!
Each line of this video essay is worth meditating upon for hours..kudos🙏🙏🙏🙏

"Seeking what is true is not seeking what is desirable"
~ A. Camus
I think desires in this sense is the distraction from what you really want to do or figure out I think the truth is more like the ultimate desire that is desirelessness in a way because you are in the flow or filling your role or being who you want to be and because you know that you are content in the process to get to your goals.

Yes, it's really hard to acknowledge THE truth (especially the gloomy truths of the world we live in today), because it isolates us from many of our friends and family members, because they find it too frightening to acknowledge those truths as well.
So, very often, nowadays, discovering and acknowledging THE truth, leaves us quite lonely...
Acceptance is key. You can transform that coldness into warmth with the right understanding. Solitude and loneliness aren't the same. Solitude when met with radical acceptance slowly but surely turns into pure love for everyone and everything. Sending lots of love, you're significantly stronger than you think. ❤️

Then he got distracted by the lady in red, forgetting where he really is and then realizes that losing focus at this point can be costly because when he turns back, Mr Smith waits for him with a gun to his face.
So this is the part you are referring to. People will see you as an annoying entity walking in the opposite direction than the whole world. That's why you are so often called a "conspirationist" and if you lose your focus and start to see too many things that might be but aren't, then your done and they win. You have to pretend you're still one of them and learn how to live with the new you. From that moment, you can become what you want and beat the program.
That's simply called complex family trauma. The "woke" one is usually the one who gets mobbed in a sick family. That's why the word "woke" is such a trigger for crackpot media.

Terrence McKenna said the same.

I'm starting to see the truth and now I can't unsee it and you know what? I feel at peace. This video is gold
I agree.
You know nothing. None of us do.
Sadly in my case I feel forcefully blind to it if that makes any sense
Jesus is truth it’s crazy how they distract us from God
Neo is a metaphor of Jesus "Christ"
I think this is a wonderful refresher to the idea that we are mislead by so much in our world today. What our world is and who controls It is amongst the greatest. Do people want to challenge the narrative? More than likely not. Eric Dubay also makes some wonderful points on matrix theory, God bless y’all 👍🏽
"gOD" bless y'all........OMG ...what an ignoramus....there is no god fool
22:30 damn. that was good, on top of the one of the most influential movies of all time. all our quest for the truth and knowledge, alienates. I find myself doing and thinking things differently probably since I got out of college. 20 years later, the knowledge and truth now feels like carrying a load going through life. A lot of things also not impressive or magical anymore. Ignorance is bliss.
People with personality traits that are more prone to depression are typically much more able to seek, accept and speak the truth. It can be depressing and many people have no tolerance for feeling depressed so they stay in the matrix, distracted and intoxicated.
Yes and people with personal traits like depression are diagnosed as defective and medicated, almost like a blue pill scenario if one was referring to the matrix
Wow that actually resonates, thanks
Literally me, I experience shit when I was 8 years old but somehow, I feel more happy to see the truth. I feel sorry to my friends who would never come out of their comfort bubble shell, I wish I could be honest and tell them more about my deep within personality self, but they all never want to talk about it as if I'm turning crazy just because I'm no longer a human being.
Because of that, I won't need them anymore. Living in a bubble life with so many technologies now, I feel completely sad not able to talk about political and philosophy stuff with them, but I knew that they would be questioning me to stop talking about it since they don't want anything to hurt their illusion life. I regret terribly telling him the matrix movie, I wish I didn't say it
On the contrary, depressed people seek escapism, to avoid being hurt by reality , which is the source of their depression.
@@cristianm7097 Not contrary. Though both can be true, a mature integrated adult who is higher on trait neuroticism and tends toward depression can tolerate depressive facts when encountered on a pursuit of the truth or goal.
I think it’s worth saying that the characters who escaped the matrix may never know if the “real world” they escaped to is any more real than the matrix, or simply a higher level simulation. For better or worse, reality is subjective
So what if it would be a higher level simulation what then would be reality or wouldn’t there be a reality and would simulations just be the reality wich makes the simulation they are in reality?
@@TheGarlicfather I think at some level there’s no way to any definitive answer. Even when there’s an apparent end, there can always possibly be another layer
@@Mike-ge7pe But that doesn’t change the fact that there is a answer and there is the truth even tho you can never know for certain that you are existing in the truth or maybe you will when you arrive to the truth cause the truth has no illusions and mysteries
@@TheGarlicfather there cannot be layers of simulations, the matrix is simply a metaphor
Fuck now I won't ever stop wondering lol thx
Thank for the amazing video man,honestly that’s true,we choose to what we believe (truth)that we are comfortable with and make sense to us
Thank you very much for this great job you have done. It is really helpful to grab the deep meaning of this excellent movie.
I remember seeing this in the big cinema when it was just released in Los Angeles. I knew this was an awesome story, and I was excited to see it portrayed so artistically. Long live those who take the red pill!
Morpheus, “What if I told you…
That I am a pill 💊 pusher?”
What if I told you the Matrix is really an analogy of the trans experience? Or so the author says.
I saw it at a drive in (the last in Las Vegas at the tine.) Relaxing in the back of a pickup truck. The Matrix is just as stunning and thought provoking now as it was then.
@@bob7975 Some people think the original movie was actually mostly written by someone uncredited. I don't mean that one black woman either.
I wanna go back to the illusion, life was so much exciting back then😅
This video made me realize even more how such an incredible movie The Matrix really was. It was like one of those movies that was in perfect alignment with its time. Like everyone involved including the actors were at a sweet spot in their lives to make this movie hit the nail on the head the way that it did. I believe in alignment.
It definitely was, and on top of that it is a defining film for the 21st century. As it came right at the beginning of it, 1999.
It was a pure moment

I really feel like the Matrix has a strong connection with spiritual awakening. Like Eckhart Tolle said: 'Prisoner of the own mind, without knowing it.' It's releasing yourself from all the believes and limitations you ever made up about the world and yourself, and at the same time realising your own being in relation to this world, just by feeling it. Suddenly everything is possible. Isn't that just amazing? Blessings to you all
I think it’s just for woke people I wouldn’t call it woke more like aware of the things around you the people the greed the hate it’s all around you
What is your definition of spiritual awakening?
I love Eckhart Tolle's teachings, also more new to me is Angelo Dillulo MD's teachings.

"We accept the reality of the world with which we're presented."

I struggle with doing that I suppose nowadays.
Ive left the cave and tried to tell the others. Its a very sad moment when you realize your friends and family would rather be shackled to a cave wall than go through growing pains of the reality we actually live in.
Commentz like this make me genuinely curious of what you wanted to tell those you care about, I'm quite curious and I'm all ears, mind sharing?
@@Venus-kx9hf start with bohemian grove and work your way down the rabbit hole
@@rhettwilson1558 lol bohemian Grove isn't shit. None of these "SeCrEt SoCiEtIeS" are shit. If you REALLY want to get a glimpse. Begin meditation and follow it hard. Meditate on your diaphragm in complete darkness and lack of thought(this will be incredibly difficult, will seem impossible in the beginning). You will be charging your yang (this is just level 1 too) which will be actually very beneficial to you, but the things you may see along the way, will be eye opening, and potentially terrifying. There's no point in telling you about the other levels because 95% of ppl will not make it past level 1.
Not everybody is ready to leave the cave, you have to understand and respect that. But don't let the others stop you from leaving yourself, just don't force them to go with you.
It's like a bunch of people playing Dungeons and Dragons, or some other fantasy game, or who are really into a movie or Video Game. Just cause you want to go outside and do something real, doesn't mean they won't get mad at you when you say it's just a stupid game.

The painful reality that our health is entirely our own responsibility. The entire world is gaslit into thinking someone else holds the key to healthy living.

"Illusion is the first of all pleasures." - Voltaire
Maybe none of us are perceiving the reality/the truth for what it is but rather for what we wish it to be. How much reality can humankind bear?
Thanks for sharing the video 🙂 It gave me a lot to think about.
Illusion and phantasy is the seed of suffering. We create worlds in our mind, and after a while we think these worlds are reality, and by doing so we can't see reality anymore, only the now matters. To live fully in the present moment, without any illusions.
You have every right to think what you like you have no right to impose your thoughts upon others. It's up to them if they listen or not. Unless of course you're a good little commie and work for daddy government. At that point you lose all privilege of thought and are disposed of.
@@eiseneuter2034 i don't agree... i can think of many examples where illusions are a required motivator, and many other times where reality presents facts that we interpret correctly only for circumstances to change - practically an illusion just but not in technicality.

But, what you seek to manifest is what you wish it to be; "be careful what you wish for".

At a point in my youth, I decided for myself that knowing the truth is more important than anything. Since then, I've learned that over 90% of the time I have experienced what is true in life, it would be easier and happier to not know. I stayed the course, and realized you can have better control of your existence knowing what is true. Its a hard and lonely path. But its real. It makes all of the good things you experience more valuable.

truman show...
Only, nobody is pulling the strings. Humanity does it to itself
I’ve always felt something strange was watching me or manipulating my life. I’ve been known to say I’m living in the matrix or my life is like the Truman show. I’m telling you my life has been a strange one and doesn’t align with any reality I know. Yet I somehow know it. People seem to know me. Yet I don’t know them. Multiple people act strange and do the same thing at once. One such strange example was that after this never happened to me before, a group of men all unrelated to each other mentioned my boobs were big. When I protested that this was inappropriate to say they all said I had a bad attitude and would never find a man. Never happened since
Another example is that every time I wore a certain outfit in my own home. Nobody could see. People would come to tease me. Nobody could possibly know

Our lives are spent constantly going in and out of the matrix, we've evolved this way so we can survive in this world, I don't think existing 100% on either one is healthy or even possible, in a way we take a third pill, a purple one.
Great video, as always.
Greetings from the US!
I think Taoism has the answer for this. It describes the 'way' as walking the line between order & chaos ( the line seperating the two halves in the yin-yang symbol). Through my personal understanding, i think balance is key to living fully. By being in harmony, both in body & soul, we can get the best of both worlds- 'the matrix' & "the truth'.
I have the same view. There's a reason things are like this, but if we forget that there's more then we are lost.
@@amoghbarakol4723 100%👍👍
This is very true. Even the people who THINK they took the red pill take the blue pill in certain aspects of life or they are just miserable all alone with what they think is the truth. The human mind doesnt really want the truth. I wish very often that I was comfortable enough in the matrix not to seek truth. The happiest people on earth and the happiest we have ever been are when we are children and children are completely plugged in and dont seek any truth, they just live minute to minute as if life has no meaning. Only when we seek meaning do we realize that something is not right in the matrix and we seek A truth, not THE truth. And even when we discover it, so what then? The facts still remain, we have a brief existence on earth and there is probably nothing after. Now what? Congrats you miserable bastard you just get to walk around thinking everyone else is living a lie (and many of them happily blissfully doing so) and we have our truth and we get arrogant and pompous in our discovery but what does that really bring us? A superiority over the unawake? I envy the unawake because their ignorance really is bliss.
@@markprocheska7302 i've been exactly where you are right now. Thinking & feeling the same things. I too felt discouraged by the seemingly perfect, happy lives of the very fortunate/ignorant.

In Matrix reloaded after Neo tells the truth to Morpheus, that the one was another system of control, Morpheus rejects the truth saying he doesn't believe that. Just like mentioned at 21:22 Morpheus was just looking for A truth but not THE truth, and in a way supported the "religion" around "the One" because that was the "truth" that gave the outcome that he wanted.

I was pondering this, for days now and you just solved the puzzle. New Agers are selling we are all one but I know this incorrect.

Thank you for the very interesting video interpreting this aspect of The Matrix; as usual, you cover the topic with subtly. Another aspect of the movie has always fascinated me. The fact that the humans in the matrix provide the power for the matrix doesn't, as far as I can tell, have an analogue in The Allegory of the Cave, though the humans in the cave are called prisoners and seem to be "rewarded" for being skilled at recognizing the shadows, so maybe they do support the cave system somehow. But the fact that humans provide the power for the matrix (like a bunch of batteries) is an apt modern explanation for the underlying/hidden reason the people are in the cave/matrix.

When I look back at when the matrix came out in 1999. I was blown away of how far ahead it was of its time is it in 2024 it is still far ahead of its time. Plato’s cave is like being on our phones and social media.
Man I been watching your videos for years. I actually watched this one multiple times. I appreciate all the knowledge you've given me up til now and the future.
Nietzsche dragged me out of the cave, I'm always angry or at least annoyed I can see why most people prefer lies. It's so frustrating but it's better than being a sucker I guess.
@Spiritual Stuff Good answer.
Next step is to work towards radical acceptance of what is. Then you will lose your anger and annoyance. It is not that you have to like what is, just accept what is. Then you can work within that to better yourself and your situation as you see fit.
You know, the theory I love the most about the matrix is that Zion is a nested matrix, Inception style. Because it shows how taking the dude from the cave into an IMAX is still not showing him the truth. Same with Nietzsche. I too thought I saw through the veil with him, only to find it another cage.
@@raresmocanu1743 "only to find it another cage" I find the Russian nesting dolls a good comparison, even these talks still are just another cage.
What was the most prominent thing you learned from Nietzsche?
Morpheus gave Neo the choice. It was very difficult and hard choice to make. But Neo realizes that the only right way is to follow the path of the truth. It is a chance that have been given to a very few people...
But Morpheus never explained what the truth would entail….

Thanks, that’s a very good explanation of Plato’s Alegory of the cave. I think the movie goes beyond Plato’s Philosophy.
We have so to speak an generator of reality inside our heads, a cave that creates illusions - called the brain. The reality itself is a construction, in the Matrix it is a distopia, created by mankind. The only way for humans and programs likewise is to transcend this construction of reality itself - through confidence, courage, compassion and love. Which points in the direction of a multidimensional universe or Buddhist conception of reality and illusion and rebirth, often revered to in other Wachowski movies, like Cloud Atlas.
I'm normally impressed by your videos and enjoy every single one of them ; I must say though, wow, this one was at a whole different level! Well done, keep it up - looking forward to hopefully many more videos to come!
