I dont know why I didnt think of this before: I just realized a major implausibility in the premises of the Wachowski film The Matrix. Im not questioning the plausibility of the existence of such a matrix where humans are harvested for power by highly advanced artificially intelligent machines: this is indeed possible- in fact, the implausibility I am about to elucidate will increase the chance that we currently live in such a matrix. This implausibility is the fact that humans were able to hack this ridiculously advanced matrix: it is highly unlikely that humans would be able to break any codes that the machines would program, we just arent that smart. I used to think: No, we cant be in any matrix because if there were people fighting against the machines, they would have recruited me by now. No one has recruited me yet because there are no humans outside of the matrix. Ultimately, we can never know whether or not we are in such a matrix, and if we are, there is no way out.
