Matrix

Alright philosophy got me thinking, my grade might not show it, but I'm exploring new ideas. We don't know how things work, there is nothing we can break down to a conclusion of why something is what it is. My buddy Ethan once told me, what if we found something that could move at the speed of light, everything we know would just be horse shit. That's a huge what if, but who's to say that's not a possibility. In philosophy a philosopher Rene' Descartes came to a conclusion of Cogito Ergo Sum, which translates to "I think Therefore I am". Descartes isn't say I exist, he is noting that the mind exists, It does not rule out possibilities of waking up as a Sloth dreaming up a human life. On a run today I saw a bubble flash of light in my vision pop up for a quick moment. As if I just woke up under a light bulb. Last year I was introduced to Plato's cave theory which was the idea of the Matrix Movies. This year my Teacher Dr. Becker really showed me humans don't know anything for certain. So it doesn't seem to crazy to consider the idea of a matrix. Humans can't understand how we instinctively blush, I read that on the internet. All I'm saying is there can be a chance my idea I'm about to share with is a possibility. Imagine living in a matrix, the world we see isn't reality. Instead there is a higher being who can use time like a Tivo. Our matrix can be manipulated if we are being watched, what if a higher being can see 10 seconds of an event of what will happen. So life could just metaphorically be one big Wipe Out show course trying to survive the obstacles thrown at us. I gotta go to philosophy, see ya.
