The film teaches some interesting ideas, but they are just a sample of what there is to be learned by studying philosophy.

Remember, you might have finished basic training, but you're not the baddest man on the face of the earth, you're just a common soldier.

You know,just because you learned something cool, it doesn't mean you know everything, so stop acting all wise and shit, there is more for you to learn.

I think the movie, the documentary and everyone participating in a ‘philosophical’ discussion (including you) is doing quite a job.

@bzonder where can i find the documentary?

[bzonder]

@iiceman14 The documentary is called "Philosophy and the Matrix: Return to the Source"

The full version is viewable on Youtube. As I'm not allowed to post a link, you have to look it up yourself.

Peace, B

I would think that the Pentagon would like us to not go down the rabbit hole...One can read many things into this but in essence it is about choosing between staying in your own little bubble (blue pill) or being curious about the world/universe and learning about it (red pill). Where one takes it after that is up to individual interpretation.

So is this contrasting "cogito ergo sum" with the idea of a Matrix? I would have though cogito ergo sum was still valid even if we do live in a matrix? I might have got the wrong end of the stick here though...

Zen Buddhism is a great antidote for the illusion of dualism...the irony being that this sentence is, in and of itself, dualistic...that said, give it a try :-)
