All this stuff has been much debated here recently. "The Matrix" has probably brought some philosophical ideas to a wider audience, which has to be a good thing. But from the POV of philosophy these are old debates. Same goes for the other thread you started.

The poets did not win; the philosophers surrendered. (Umberto Eco)

Click here. EDIT: Actually, quote isn't listed on the site. But is works the same way, {QUOTE=philosopher00}Potato.{/QUOTE}, using [] instead of {}.

Why does the false reality idea stop at one level?

I think it's sort of funny that Zion is supposed to be real, and the Matrix is not real, but Zion is just a computer-generated part of a film.
