Essay 6
The Reality is marketing of memories, and finally, The Matrix (body nodes and cyber insurgency). But what Sleep Dealer has that The Matrix severely lacked is a realistic idea of labor in the future. In The Matrix, humans are farmed for their energy by the evil machines. All they have to do is sleep and dream that they are living in a big and prosperous post-industrial city. The quality of their dreaming is not weak but is totally convincing. If you eat the illusion of a steak, it tastes just like a real steak. Meaning, it is a steak, and this is a real restaurant, and this is a real city. Because the dream is no different from the real, the rebellion against the machines and their soft exploitation of human bodies does not make much sense. In Sleep Dealer, evil machines are replaced by the evils of neoliberallism. The film it as "particularly Latino" or particularly Mexican? Sleep Dealer have many Latino, Mexican traits. In the being you see the area and particularly certain race they are. The area they live in is particularly in the dessert. The area was very dry and lack of water. The lack of water was due to the government trying to take over their water supplies in the small deserted town. The family basically lived in the middle of nowhere. The main character memo and everyone in the film was speaking Spanish But the subtitles is English. In the film the directed displayed a lot of struggle and immigration situation as well. like in the movies the different labor jobs they had to do in order to survive was a big struggle. No one really spoke English except for the Mexican American soldier who killed the memo's father in the line of duty. Memo also had to work to send money to his family. His job was dangerous even with all of those plugs it still dangerous. He also was talking about moving somewhere else like the city and getting away from his deserted town, moving to the city would be better. “Sleep Dealer” takes place in the future, in the rural country of Mexico. The world has become militarized and closed by borders, where water is limited and expensive. The limitation and recession has forced the world and the people into virtual labor and the global networks join by human minds. Survival in the new world depends on earning money, no matter the method. Many have chosen the tactic of migrating from rural areas to the urban cities where they pierce themselves to nodes that allow them to be able to work in the virtual world of labor.

When I think about my personal life yes I do think my life is determined individual fate and I think I am free to choose as I wish. I’m not slaves for now I'm free I'm following the path God has chosen for me I’m free to do anything I like to do. I can enjoy this life My life's been full savored much. Good friend, good time loved ones touch god wanted me now-he set me free. “The freedom enjoyed by those in real world; however you are free to perform an action only if you can avoid performing it. If you have to do something if it’s not in your powers to do otherwise then you is not free to do it” (88). Fate is something unknown ,out of our control, you have to accept it weather its good or bad, you must believe in fate if you want to be able to continue your life, fate is something in god hand , whatever you did or you will do you cannot change the events, you cannot change your destiny. You can make life easy or hard it's up to you. The freedom enjoyed by those in the real world. The Matrix and the "real world" you are either being controlled by someone or by something just in two different ways.
Everybody loves freedom. Everybody wants it. Freedom is a condition of life where an individual is afforded the opportunity to choose one's next action. If you are a welfare statist, you probably don’t consider a person to have the freedom to take drugs, kill someone or fight with someone. Freedom is the societal condition we have to control one self. The freedom for us to breathe clean air. Which freedom is more important? That should be obvious to anybody, but because so many decision makers are taking short-term and selfish viewpoints, long-term public interests like this are not being respected and freedoms are not being chosen wisely.

Blog 6: The Truman Show^*
In this movie, Truman is a man whose life is a fake one... The place he lives is in fact a big studio with hidden cameras everywhere, and all his friends and people around him, are actors who play their roles in the most popular TV-series in the world: The Truman Show. Truman thinks that he is an ordinary man with an ordinary life and has no idea about how he is exploited. Until one day... he finds out everything. Will he react? Christof is also able to control anything he wants for example the weather.
"I have given Truman the chance to lead a normal life. The world, the place you live in, is the sick place. Seahaven is the way the world should be." In my Opinion, Christof of the Truman show plays god just about 100%. With the power to control the weather to controlling life all around, I can’t be live him Because when Truman he decides to try and explore the world outside Seahaven and he successful. When Christof he sow that He can’t control Truman then he saying that “I have given Truman the chance to lead a normal life” however the Christof is not correct. Seahaven is Different then This world I be live that. In many respects Truman's position, or speculation about the nature of his position, provides a way for people to analyze the particularly complex corporate culture at Condé Nast.When Truman finally exits Seahaven that time I think he is free he gets new life when he decides to try and explore the world outside Seahaven I was so happy Not Only me everyone and when he successful everyone so happy In TV show around the world.

When the possibility of a matrix is raised, a question immediately follows. How do I know that I am not in a matrix? After all, there could be a brain in a vat structured exactly like my brain, hooked up to a matrix, with experiences indistinguishable from those I am having now. From the inside, there is no way to tell for sure that I am not in the situation of the brain in a vat. So it seems that there is no way to know for sure that I am not in a matrix.
I think this view is not quite right. I think that even if I am in a matrix, my world is perfectly real. A brain in a vat is not massively deluded (at least if it has always been in the vat). Neo does not have massively false beliefs about the external world. Instead, envatted beings have largely correct beliefs about their world.
What is real? How do you define real? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.") If this is right, then the world perceived by envatted beings is perfectly real: they have all the right appearances, and appearance is reality. So on this view; even envatted beings have true beliefs about the world.
Where physics is concerned with the microscopic processes that underlie macroscopic reality, metaphysics is concerned with the fundamental nature of reality. A metaphysical hypothesis might make a claim about the reality that underlies physics itself.
The Metaphysical Hypothesis here tells us about the processes underlying our ordinary reality, but it does not entail that this reality does not exist. We still have bodies, and there are still chairs and tables: it's just that their fundamental nature is a bit different from what we may have thought. Metaphysical Hypothesis tells us about the processes underlying chairs. They do not entail that there are no chairs. Rather, they tell us what chairs are really like.

BLOG 3: The Matrix and Philosophy
What is reality? What is real? I think of reality the state of things as they actually exist. In the film Matrix it describes a future in which reality taken by humans is actually the Matrix. A simulated reality created by conscious machines in order to calm and express the feelings the human population while their bodies' heat and electrical activity are used as an source. In the movie the matrix was dominating the real world but actually only real is the context of the perspective picture that was used. We often mistakenly suppose that the reality in which we live is the truest and highest reality there is. Or may be we are matrix living as a human with the help of the future technology.
The matrix possibility, remember, is the idea that “it’s possible that I am (or you are) in the matrix right now “. That issue that I want to consider now is to what extent something like the matrix possibility event makes sense. Right if the bat I want to make it clear that in worrying about whether the story of the matrix really present us with a coherent possibility, that which is real and valuable is that which is free from the interfering illusions of the matrix. What is real is that which provides the most vivid and pleasurable experience. When introducing Neo to the matrix, Morpheus asks Neo, “What is real? How do you defind real? If you’re talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is clear statement.
We know many things are real in this world. Human born is real any time, any day, any year, anywhere, any place human or any other who have life they going to die no one don’t know where who going to doe that’s real and reality we have to believe that’s we born, live and then one day die.
I' am not a cyborg.
