Philosophy 101

Gary — 8/15/2005 6:20:29 PM (archived)

Maybe we're living in the "Matrix" that some psychotic nut job coded to play like the stereotypical Christian myth, e.g. angels with wings, God on a golden throne with a triangle floating over his head, devils tempting sinners, etc. It would probably be pretty tough to code up a Matrix that followed the Laws of Physics but did not fall apart enabling all the mythical hookus-pookus.
