Philosophy, Reality and The Matrix

securitas writes "The NYT discusses The Matrix as a reflection of American society, the 'war on terror', political allegory and the impact of The Matrix on contemporary philosophy. NPR provides streaming audio conversations with Matrix thinkers, including Jake Horsley, author of 'Matrix Warrior: Being the One'; Prof. Frances Flannery Dailey on violence in the Matrix; and Prof. Greg Garrett, co-author of 'The Gospels Reloaded' and why he doesn't like the kind of hero that Neo has become. Finally, the CSM follows up its The Gospel According to Neo with an online chat transcript with Josh Burek, the author of the essay." As if that's not enough Matrix Philosophy, Here's more and Still more. And just a warning, clicking on any of those links might spoil the movie for you.

Re:The REAL Matrix philosophy

[gagy]

I don't know if you noticed, but that carchase involved 99.5% GM vehicles, mostly Intrigues, Regals, Suburbans, Montanas and obviously the CTS and Escalade ESV. I can't recall any overseas GM brands though. I only noticed one Taurus and one Civic in the whole thing. It's obvious product placement by GM, and an answer to young kids who go gaga over imports a la Fast and the Furious...although I don't blame GM. North American brands are not seen as cool anymore, let's hope things like this work for them. It seems to do wonders for the imports.
