Reality As The Product Of Human Consciousness

The Matrix script has a complex symbolic storyline, with apparent philosophical allusions, and is full of elements and clues that could provide the reader with multiple interpretations. However, beneath this complex layered structure, its underlying main theme is about the nature of reality. In this essay, we study three of the most noticeable philosophical references in The Matrix: Plato’s allegory of the cave, Descartes’ mind-body problem, and Baudrillard’s simulation theory. For each of these philosophical ideas; first we draw parallels between the script and the idea, and then we examine to what extent The Matrix accurately reflects the idea and stays loyal to its conclusion.

Have you ever thought you heard something, but there was nothing there? Have you ever thought you saw someone in the corner of your eye, and when you looked there was no person there? When we look down from a high building on people, do they appear small like ants? Aren't there thousands of occasions when we do misperceive? What is reality and perception? Mainstream science describes reality as "the state of things as they actually exist". So reality is simply: everything we observe. Perception is the process by which organisms interpret and organize sensation to produce a meaningful experience of the world (sapdesignguild.org np). I believe people should base some decisions

In the wake of slavery, the black body is constantly under attack. The hold co-exists within the wake of slavery. According to Christina Sharpe, college professor, author of In the Wake on Blackness and Being, (2016) “The wake; a state of wakefulness and a state of consciousness” (pg. 5). Being in the wake of slavery means one still faces the negative effects it and is aware of the negative affects it has on the black community. The hold co-exists in the wake of slavery and the black body is inhibited by this hold. Sharpe defines the hold as, “A large space in the lower part of a aircraft in which cargo is stowed (of a ship or aircraft); keep or detain (someone)” (p. 68). In the hold, the black body has been introduced, taught, ingrained and continues this idea of the language of violence. Through the actual hold of the ship during the Middle Passage, to the perception of blacks which also holds the black body, and to the engrained idea of the “masculine black body” which keeps queer black bodies in their own hold. In this paper, I will examine the intersectionality of blackness and queerness which is being held in the wake of slavery.

Sometimes, it seems that the best representation of fiction is reality, not the other way

“Inception” movie from Christopher Nolan (author of “The Dark Knight”) is a stunning, mind-blowing masterpiece. There is a lot of questions that regard the movie, due to its complexity many viewers must watch it a couple times to try to understand and find a conclusion. the main question about the film revolves around what’s real and what’s a dream. Basically, Inception asks us if matter matters, if we change our definition of what is real, we can change our reality. And if we can change our reality, can we keep track of what is real and what is not? Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) can go inside individual’s dreams, steal and plant ideas by sharing dreaming technology,” Inception.”. cobb is forced to leave his family after he is accused of the death of his wife (mal) after she wrote a letter accusing him of her death. He is hired to do corporate espionage by planting ideas on victims through inception. The deal is, that if the Extractor is successful in his mission, he will be rewarded with a way back to his home and family. but a dangerous enemy anticipates Cobb’s every single move.

Whenever I am asked to describe where I grew up, I always find this difficult for me to answer. Simply because, I have lived in five different locations, spanning three different continents, all before the age of seventeen. As a result of growing up in a military-oriented lifestyle, the concept of constantly moving around was nothing new to me. Rather than view it as a shortcoming, I grew fond of the idea of moving to somewhere new—to a location where I have yet to explore and integrate myself into. Thus, due to my exposure to a multitude of cultures and individuals from all walks of life, this has affected how I move through the world’s space. In this paper, I will be discussing how the following concepts of my subject position: my ethnicity, culture, and identity as child of a retired U.S. Airman reflect Gloria Anzaldúa’s discussion of la mestiza.

Mind transferring requires an in-depth understanding of how the brain works, interactions between the original and the virtual counterpart, and a stimulated world for the virtual consciousness. Dvorsky doesn’t believe that mind transferring would be possible due to lack of knowledge about the consciousness, or how to map out a stimulation to understand complex thoughts that humans have. And if we tried to experiment with this, wouldn’t subjects be injured during the process? In SOMA, a game that focuses on this premise, there was a belief in those who went through the experiment would be able to rejoin with their immortal, stimulated selves after they died (McGill). However, this belief was seen as a false hope, there is no link between

What is reality? The answer to that question can vary depending on the person asked. The phrase "perception is reality" means that the way someone interprets or understands something can affect the way they view the world as it really exists. The film Inception greatly proves this phrase to be true through its characters. The film is about a man and his team on a mission to implant an idea into a strangers mind while in a dream.

The line separating reality and the illusion of reality is a blur. The line separating the narrator’s self-aware expression and his story telling is a blur. The line separating Ambrose and the narrator is a blur. All of this may blur understanding. It is clear, however, that these blurs exist because of the “funhouse”. A funhouse, Lost in the funhouse, in which exist other funhouses. Various funhouses exist in the story and in the writing. For this reason, the title Lost in the funhouse is very significant.

Being able to explain why something is unconscious is more practical than to explain why something is conscious. To even grasp physicalism one usually makes observation of the function, dynamic, and structure. In addition, there is an explanation of what a thing does, how it changes over a period of time, and how it is assembled. However, even after a detailed explanation of the function, dynamic, and so on…one may still ask, why is it conscious, Thus, conscious presents a problem for physicalism. An explanation of consciousness is much more complex, and may even create a boundary of what physicalism can explain. Due to this problem, there are unanswered questions when it comes to physicalism.

Human beings perceive everything within their realities through the five basic senses of taste, touch, hearing, sight, and smell. If someone was to talk to you, you have to be able to understand their body language toward you. For example, you can feel when texting someone that they do not want to talk to you. You must touch things to get them and hold them, smell things with your nose. In order, to know if you like something you must taste it.

Perception is reality. After all, as human beings, we only know what we experience. We take our experiences and apply them to interpret the world around us. Based on what we know, we form our own perspective. People will interpret what they are analyzing more critically, or anecdotally, depending on their personality.

The picture of reality that is around us is always constructed in our minds. Since we don’t have access to other people’s minds we fail to see their reality. The only way we can understand what is real in their world is to use our imagination. Our imagination serves us like a pair of shoes that lets us step into their world. The more we walk in their shoes, the more we know their world, and what is really in it. However, people tend to restrict reality and define it only using their five senses. Yet, this argument fails when it comes to explaining feelings that other people have experienced. This can be seen in the book, Swamplandia, when one tries to analyze the reality of Ossie’s world and the people in it. It’s clear to see that Louis Thanksgiving is a character in Ossie’s world that is real, because of her true feelings for him, her knowledge of even the most miniscule details of his life, and overall by using our logical reasoning’s .
