Advice for the world. The Matrix was fiction.

What? did you just finish watching the matrix?

Sure it can. Anything is possible (tho very improbable). But it still wouldn't answer any questions about where we came from. Like where did this computer program come from?

This does not compute.

The computer program was instantly created when a plane took off from a moving conveyor.

I jest. I just don't put to much thought into things like are a simulation in a machine, and this computer program was written by a code writer.

lol...


On the subject of the Matrix. I never got why the machines used humans for power. Why not cows? They don't rebel, and a computer simulation for eating grass would be easy to create and maintain.

I seriously never made it through the first half of the first one.

It has been suggested that we are just a dream in the mind of God, no way to tell that I know of until God has to get up to go to the bathroom and the dream ends when God forgets about us.

It's not meant to be practical - it's meant to be ironic. Morpheus even clearly states this in the movie.

The universe is the ultimate computer. This is not a concept that The Matrix invented, it is actually from the minds of Alan Turing, von Neumann, and others. Stephen Wolfram is busy advancing the concept as well.
