Do you think that we live in a Matrix world?

Question

is there proof of it

Answer 1

You have been watching way to much TV NEWT

Answer 2

I do not believe the world is exactly like the matrix: reality as computer logic and a war going on with the machine world. But I do think the reality that we all accept as real and genuine reality are very far apart. I think its likely that physicists will develop a new theory soon that will make us question our view of reality. It has happened before; people once thought that the world was flat and the body was composed of four elements. Scientific discovery changed that view. It would be foolish to believe that we know everything there is to know about the world. Our reality is based on assumptions and theories. Many people still do not believe in evolution. Their word view is completely different from those that do believe in it. When the a new theory of our existence is finally found I think it will take a long time for people to accept it. There will be those that accept it and those that do not creating two worlds of existence like the matrix.

Answer 3

Since we can't really know, you can go either way, really.

The stance that we may live in a Matrix world was first posed by philosopher Rene Descartes, who claims that we're mainly "living a dream," and this idea has since been the pinnacle of many a film - for example, The Matrix, of course, and others like Pedro Almodovar's Abre Los Ojos, or to be exact, Cameron Crowe's Vanilla Sky - which poses the duality of lucid dreaming and the matrix reality.

Answer 4

I don't believe so, but that was part of the point; we have no way of telling.

However, as an existentialist nihilst, I believe that our lives in the real world hold about as much meaning (to us) as they would if we were trapped in the matrix. Life's meaning to the inhabitants of the matrix was only decreased when people started transcending it.

Answer 5

It is as difficult to prove that we DON'T live in a Matrix-like world as it is to prove that we do. What we do know about the world is that (Soliptic thought aside) most of us share a fairly common experience (relativity notwithstanding).

This effectively rules out mind-mediated simulation (personalised "realities" experienced by individual minds - similar to Solipsism), but not shared illusion. However, any illusory world should have testable limits (inconsistencies in the laws of physics or limits of the observable unverse). The question is not whether or not we live in a group illusion, but whether or not we as a civilisation could test the bounds of reality suitably to ascertain its nature.

Answer 6

I think the real world works in reverse of the Matrix world actually. Here, take the blue pill below... ;)

Answer 7

Yes.
Whenever a person dreams ,and WHILE IN THE DEREAM he/she does never doubts that is not real and that it is a dream. Does aybody ?
Why so ?
Because IT IS REAL for the person who is dreaming.
No sooner awake ,the realisation arise that IT WAS A DREAM.
Same is with this universe-. As long as YOU are awake ,it exists.
So logically UNIVERSE IS A DREAM ,but of a little different kind-that means-it has a CONTINUITY.
Can any body answer why he or she treated the dream as real wnen the real world is well known to him/her ?
NOBODY CAN.

Answer 8

I believe we are a small fish in a big pond, and that all things are relative, and based on where you are that is where you would see things.

In a matrix world, it is like looking at a drop of water in a microscope, that is their universe, but only a tiny speck in ours.

You are asking could we be the drop of water in someone else's universe? I believe that anything is possible....don't you??

Answer 9

if we lived in a matrix word the agents would have prevented the realease of the matrix movies and this question too
so the answer is no

Answer 10

I could find some answers from philosophers but that would take time.

I'll give my own answer instead - no, we're not living in a Matrix world. This world is real - as real as you and me breathing and living it.

Answer 11

They word of so little on the region of the global with the aid of actuality of their historic monetary, political and militia successes. In Europe, as an get at the same time, it fairly is uncomplicated for human beings to word of three languages. contained contained in the U.S. it fairly is unusual for a birthright citizen to word of two languages. it fairly is by the geographic and economic circumstances that make American existence extremely comfy and hegemonic. yet shall we continuously now no longer faux that all and distinctive seems fairly so dumb and the something else of the global so sensible. Of the 50 optimal respected universities contained contained in the global, per chance 40 of them are American. which will likely now no longer truly sq. with the theory that all and distinctive seems fairly lots dumber that persons elsewhere contained contained in the global. also, Amerian adults help the shortcoming of life penalty at about sixty 4% optimal suited now, and in many ecu international places the d.p. help between adults is about 50%. This also does now no longer help the theory that all and distinctive seems a lot dumber (in reality a splash dumber??). by the way, i'm an American. I stay on the point of long island city.
