graham luber matrix blog 2

1. I believe Cypher decided to go back to the matrix because he was unhappy. He wanted to be able to eat good things, and live a good life, instead of living in the ship, and wearing old clothes and eating nasty food. Ignorance is bliss, because if you don't know about anything or something then it wont bother you at all and you want take the time to find out about something.

2. I think Neo does not believe he is the one, until maybe when the oracle tells him he isn't but tells him he is in control of his own fate. I think maybe slowly he is starting to realize he has powers others don't. Harry Potter doesn't think he is a hero until he hears the prophecy in the order in the phoenix and Dumbledore explains everything to him for the first time.

3. I think if everyone was perfect the world would be pretty boring no one would be exciting to others cause everyone would be the same to each other. In another movie is like Terminator where the machines are used or bad. Eagle Eye is another one too where the machine goes wack.

graham luber matrix blog

1. Well when Neo was in the blog he didn't know any better, which parallels with the man in the cave he never new any better, he didn't know there was an outside world at all. Also in the Matrix Neo never new any different until they brought him out of his fluid sac, and picked him up in their hover craft.

2. Reality is basically a fluid concept because you can really make it out to be whatever you want it to be. We say things are real when we can see, smell, taste, and feel, but what about air we cant feel it or taste it so how dose that come in to play with reality.

3.Yes in certain ways the matrix dose parallel our lives in 2008, it seems that all the technology has lessened our value on life, and somewhat our morals seem to have decreased a little. It also seems we are a lot less social now that we have the internet, to do talking and messaging.

Graham Luber Allergor writing The cave

1. To me the allegory represents that as human beings we see what we want to see. We can shape reality, to fit it as we please, and as long as we are comfortable with ourselves. Also that we are blind to the truth until it hits us in the face then it will change our perspectives.

2. Socrates is trying to say that the truth will change reality, for us as human beings were sometimes selfish and want everything to work for us. And with reality we can make it however we want it.

3. Well basically if you are learned one way, during your life and then you are showed you are a different way you would never know it was right. Basically you can go along life thinking your way is the right way until your corrected.

4. Basically they can give us a guide of lessons or morals, they can teach us things that modern day stuff can't teach us. Such as technology.
