  • this philosophy is based on old reasoning, modern science has found that emotion integrally connected to reasoning. 98% of our brain functioning is done outside of our consciousness and the emotions and choices we have are already in progress before they reach our conscious. These philosophy worked for their time but modern science and neurobiology has proven them wrong.

  • So you're only going to answer the love part of your final question? What about free will vs determinism? The statement "love can override logic and reason" only attempts to answer the question...even then it's a partial answer. If you're suggesting the "can" in that sentence is the answer, you might want understand the word "may" in this instance. You're supposing a whole lot of variables in saying "can" or "may".

  • soooooo you can get out of the Cave(matrix), but if you fall in love you can get pulled back in regardless of what you do so you shouldn't fight it because it is a "noble" passion? NO THANKS, I'm pretty sure love is just another passion that needs to be kept in check, like grief, lust, and anger.

    Love and reality can coexist, love doesn't need to detract from truth as Neo lets it.

    Am I mistaken?

  • This is the Worf-Sapir hypothesis

  • @bananabread119 yes, he did say can't... (Americans...)

  • "rather (THAN) the past." You say it correctly. Why can't you EVER spell it correctly?

  • 2:50 Did he just say Can't? =/

  • "your mind made it real"...sometimes dream is like real, one time i had nightmare, i was shot in chest, then i suddenly wake up and feels like there is pain in it...

  • The Matrix was not about th efreedom of choice. At least the first Matrix was an allegory for capitlism. Morpheus frequently quotes Sartre, who was marxist.

  • In the end of the movie she did end up dieing.

    The end of the trilogy I mean.
