Well, I just decide we are a long way off from being in the
Matrix. Why? My email prog which in order to protect me "for my own good"
from vulgar and inflammatory email put 2 chili peppers on that last
comment. I'm still trying to figure out why.

One other thing that I did like about the philosophy, the Matrix works
because all humanity imprisoned by it consents to be a part of it, even if
it's done unconsciously. This means all those times we question what is
reality, dreams, etc. we still choose to stay a part of it rather than wake
up. Just like the majority of humanity knows what would make the world a
better place, ecologically, economically, and politically, even without
agreeing 100% but still we silently consent to leave it the way it is.
