    my theory has always been this:
    the matrix has been rebooted 7 times... so the programs say
    but instead of that, the machines just built one matrix on top of another 7 times
    so you have a matrix in a matrix in a matrix.
    like a russian doll... cage ... thing
    if you escape the lowest level, you are still stuck in 6 other matrixes. and since humans do still have a lifespan, and it took neo 30 years to escape just one, what are the odds you're actually gona make it through all 7. because neo still thinks the 6th matrix (the one with zion) is the real one
    this also explains why neo can just stop a squid thing with his mind. he's still in the matrix

      No, Neo gets out of the "6th layer" at the end of the trilogy. He figured it out when Agent Smith blinded him, but it wasn't a whole 30 years. It's more likely there are multiple layers so that the 1% which rejects the first layer, gets to be the 99% of the second layer; of which 1% goes to the second layer, of which 1% of them get to the third layer... and that's why you'd have nested layers. It's not because the trap is perfect with three layers so lets make four more for no fucking reason.

    OH SHIT! Remember when Neo goes to Zion and the bald skinny guy gives him a spoon "from one of the orphanage kids." Why would the orphan send him a spoon when he's already in the real world?

Only they would know for sure but it seems like the sort of thing that test audiences would enjoy more so than a properly thought out philosophical point. I definitely think it would have been a better ending for Neo to somehow see through the simulation of Zion and end the movie as humanity begins its real awakening from the Matrix.

    You know something that always bugged me about the matrix? Babies. Is every child "born" in the matrix simulation a program? This has always been very confusing to me. Does the matrix control when the people have a child based on when the machines would have a baby ready to be plugged in for them? If so, why would it look like it's "parents"? We've seen that a person looks the same in and out of the matrix. The whole thing makes even less sense if you think about that.

    • @Blackundetected
      @Blackundetected ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I always assumed the babies were just placeholder programs put in temporarily, until a genetic clone of the two people who copulated was made and grow to sentience. That's why the moment you go from a "no thoughts, head empty" child and become an actual sentient human being feels so jarring and the memory of the previous years as a baby always feel hazing and disconnected. That's just the moment when the machines plug you in and replaced the temp. code that was operating your matrix baby stand-in.

      Matt Pieman a little bit, but if you think about the Simpsons as a shorthand for all of the sitcoms.
      every person who stayed would either be thrown into a small group with like minded people or possibly even put into a fabrication where they are the sole human in a world of AI's and they would live out life times having fun. look at family guy, the show has had thousands of characters, but for the most part there are only 12 that matter, and all 12 of them are like minded and compatible, even brian and quag who hate each other have the same ideologies, one is just preaching about it while the other is living it.
      you could even expand the idea to other TV shows. Doctor Who is a single person's world, but it has transient minds jump in from time to time as kind of a purgatory for other worlds. that is why companions are about 5:1 when compared to doctors.
      That and the whole reason TV shows get cancelled at all, is the main mind either dies or unplugs. That is why you have spin offs, and even why the dude who plays castle was also a space pilot once. he got bored of being a space robinhood and decided to become a batman/stephen king

      It also doesn't make a lick of sense in terms of the way the human brain excepted the Matrix. According to Agent Smith, entire crops were lost on previous iterations of the Matrix because human brains refused to accept a Utopian version. I imagine a Simpson's version would cause aneurysms.

    • @NoESanity

      KirKanos08 there is a difference between trying to trick them and people becoming defiant because of glitches, and people knowing exactly what is going on.
      the whole "refusal" concept doesn't exist anymore due to the fact that people are willingly accepting it, instead of being tricked into it.

    According to the Matrix wiki page, apparently the Merovingian was the entire Operating System for the Second Beta version of the Matrix, which I assume is the role the Architect plays for the current iteration. That would make him one of the most powerful programs in the Matrix, though I don't know how much he could actually do. That would be like Windows '95 trying to overwrite the actions of a Windows 7 command.

      Mouse's point being if there was at some point an original tasty wheat, it may have tasted totally different from the machine-made tasty wheat. Maybe it tasted like the fake machine-made cocoa puffs or something. That's his point, maybe what we think of as chocolate is actually what really apples are supposed to taste like.

    Wait, Neo is a program? Can someone explain this to me if this is the case? If it is, I must have missed some very important parts of the matrix trilogy.

    • @theoriginalsache
      @theoriginalsache 9 ปีที่แล้ว +43

      Yeah, this was revealed during the whole "The Architect Explains Everything" scene in... I think it was Reloaded.
      Basically, The Architect tells Neo that he isn't real so much as the latest The One program in a long list of The Ones and that Zion is just another layer of The Matrix and that he's a cog in this never-ending cycle featuring the destruction and rebuilding of Zion. Apparently, some humans need to fight for their survival and don't accept Matrix-y paradise, so the machines built this post-apocalyptic level for the humans that can't accept their Matrix Reality. The One's true purpose is to provide a myth for the people of Zion to believe in and then when The One does show up, he gets to choose the new founders of the next Zion after the machines destroy the current one.
      Except Neo is the first The One to completely reject this - supposedly because he is the first The One to ever fall in love. Rejecting his duty to choose the founders of the new Zion basically dooms humanity because Zion is scheduled to go to pot and w/o The One to choose the founders of the next Zion, humans would, I dunno, start failing as power sources due to ennui or something. (None of this makes any logical sense.) So, instead, Neo makes a deal with the machines, "Yo, I will take care of your Agent Smith problem, if you just not destroy Zion this time. Existential human battery ennui problem solved."

    • @theoriginalsache
      @theoriginalsache 9 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Just to be clear, I'm being really facetious during that last bit. On account of the Matrix sequels being even more stupid when you actually take the time to think about it.

    • @romperstompist
      @romperstompist 9 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      theoriginalsache
      So Neo wants the computer simulation Zion to continue, despite Zion basically just being another part of the Matrix, or are there actually liberated humans somewhere? A real Zion type of place? Sorry, I am confused about this. I never heard this side of the story. Or at least was too young to comprehend when this explanation was given in the movie.

    • @theoriginalsache
      @theoriginalsache 9 ปีที่แล้ว +37

      Yeah, that's never fully explained. The choice he's given is that he can basically save Trinity or do his job, regardless, Zion is doomed, and Neo basically decides, "Screw it, I'm going to save everybody!" and then he does. Keep in mind that if you die in the Matrix, you die in "Real Life" so saving Zion, even if it's a construct is still saving the lives of the inhabitants of Zion.
      So, either he's just trying to save people, or Neo thinks that The Architect is lying to him. Which is also possible. There was definitely some denial going on when this was all being explained to him. And maybe The Architect was! The Wachowski's never 100% commit to it either way. On one hand, even the machines at the end talk about Zion like it's a Real Place, but on the other hand, even though Neo was in the "Real World" and completely blind, he could still see in code and manipulate the machines, which he shouldn't have been able to do if he was an unplugged human. I think it's one of those things that they leave hanging so you can have nerdy conversations on the internet about it.

    This conversation reminds me of an episode of StarTrek: Next generation "Ship in a Bottle". The holodeck program of Prof. Moriarty takes over the Enterprise, forcing them to come up with a solution to make holograms "real". Eventually the Enterprise tricks Moriarty into thinking they found a solution and beam him into the "real world". Moriarty, is in fact, beamed into a another program to simulate the real world. Picard ends the holodeck program and talks with the crew suggesting maybe their reality is might be a device on someone's table.

  • @GuyWithAnAmazingHat
    @GuyWithAnAmazingHat 9 ปีที่แล้ว +132

    Let's say nested , 'Inception universes' are possible, this means that simulated universes far outnumber our one 'real universe'.
    Let's not stop there, assume that there are aliens who can also simulate universes, and that there are also other universes in the multiverse. This means that the number of simulated, nested universes are probably infinitely many more than real universes.
    We are far more likely to live in one of the infinitely many simulated universes than a real universe.

    • @keeseman
      @keeseman 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      GuyWithAnAmazingHat Oh, I thought you were talking about Dan's argument about the Matrix universe, and since this video was discussing that, I read your post contextually. If we're theorizing about the Matrix universe, then these further ideas about "infinite simulations" are unnecessary to the argument Dan presented.
      I'm not going to comment on the real life "simulation argument", though. It sounds like bullshit to me, but I'm no expert and I don't want to bother to look into it. Your argument, as you present it, reads as "let's assume these things; thus, it is true." The actual argument probably doesn't sound like that, but I just wanted to let you know the way you presented it was philosophically confused.

These being Sheol (or the Greek Hades), the grave; Gehenna, the burning lake of fire that acts as the final resting place of the unsaved after Judgment Day; and Tartarus, where the fallen angels are incarcerated.

      If they used humans with bad genes that kept them from growing more than their brain stem they wouldn't need any costly VR program or the hardware to run it. In the real world humans don't need a mind to have a body survive. I'd rather not talk about how I know that fact.

    It has been confirmed that the Merovingian's purpose prior to exile was the Operating System (like Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X) for an earlier version of the Matrix, the second of the two Matrix betas. Thus the Merovingian's original role was a leadership position, coordinating activity and information in the Matrix beta. He would later make good use of these skills in exile as a power broker and trafficker of information. It also explains why the Merovingian is so skilled at rewriting Matrix code to create new custom objects.
    Persephone has said that the Merovingian used to be "like Neo" when she spoke of initially falling in love with him. As the Merovingian's power lies more in subtle rather than gross manipulation of information, he may not be a previous One. Most assume Persephone is saying that the Merovingian was not always a cynical hedonist, but was once driven and purposeful.---Wiki

They wouldn't mind radiation/cosmic radiation (given proper circuitry etc.). What energy they needed then could be had via their engine that wouldn't be needed for thrust once a certain speed was acquired (as there's no air in space to slow you down)
