How is reality like "The Matrix"?

I’ve been thinking about this a bit, and would like to see what others think.

WRS

Both are better with the TV turned “Off”.

It’s perceived as the true world by the majority of people experiencing it.

Hackers are the sexiest people. They always wear black trenchcoats and wear cool shades.

Because walruses play an insignificant role in either.

Both contain long stretches of boredom interspersed by silliness.

And, even in The Matrix, Keanu Reeves can’t act.

Because just like in The Matrix, we can break the law of conservation of energy.

They both suck.

They share the letters A, I, T, and R.

Neither makes much sense if you think about it too much.

Both have been in my kitchen.

Everybody in the real world has about the same number of guns as Neo.

Best answer so far. :smiley:

MY take? People on the L.A. expressway try to kill each other in both places.

It should be does, not is.

  • How does reality like “The Matrix”.

I dunno, Lizard, this one gets my vote for best answer.

Some people will actually swallow mysterious pills offered to them by a very creepy total stranger.

I believe Rene Descartes had something fascinating and valid to say on the subject. If I may quote: “Jiu-jitsu? I’m going to learn… jiu-jitsu? … Duuude.”

We live in a world of information hiding.

In 4 years at a major computer company I never saw the terms “von Neumann machine” and “benchmark.”

Accounting is 700 year old 5th grade arithmatic. Shouldn’t it be mandatory in highschool since we have computers to do all the idiotic busywork?

Good luck escaping the matrix but beware the other prisoners.
