YEZZIR, THE MATRIX!

Today in class we watched a very interesting movie, called The Matrix. I was intrigued that there was a perpetuating dialogue about artificial intelligence. In The Matrix it was explained that humans were used as a source for solar power, for these machines because it was the humans that scorched the sky. I think it's creepy that AI would want to dominate the entire human race. Who would you blame for that? The creators of AI, humans. I think that it is awesome that there is this woman Trinity who can kick some ass. It's about time that we have a woman that has the same strength as a man and holds no fear in her heart. The Matrix gives you a new meaning to life. I try to visualize myself in the movie and what I got was total disgust. I understand that outside of the matrix you have these incredible powers. However you are still not in control of your life. Fate is, in my opinion. Why would I want to live on a ship and have a bowl full of snot for breakfast? I'm stuck in the decision of knowing that inside the matrix I have a normal life. Although outside of the matrix I can manipulate it's rules and be invincible. Sometimes I make the connection that even in real life we as people, are still not in control. I would say that the government are the machines and we are the bodies that they use for their source of power. We are bound by rules and regulations. If those rules are broken, consequences are meant to be faced. Unlike in The Matrix death is the only and ultimate consequence. Either way you think of it we are not in control of our lives.

We really aren't in control. We might think we are, but...would you take the blue or the red pill?

ps: your daughter really is adorable!
