For those who watched the film last night, and for those who've seen it, here's a question for you and an article:
The question: The film seems to leave unspoken the REASON everyone would/should want out of the Matrix construct and those pink goo pods. That seems to me like THE single most important idea driving everyone's actions in the film and yet the film does not say why being out of the Matrix is SO crucial. Can you extrapolate the reason from other clues in the film? Why would the film not say this explicitly? Is the silence on this matter a strength or a weakness of the film and why???
Feel free to comment on this post--totally voluntarily. It's not an assignment, but I'd love to hear your input.
Here's a link to an article by someone at the Foresight Institute who encourages us to welcome an AI takeover of the economy. Does the history of science fictional texts shape our capacities to embrace this kind of idea?
