Damn the spoon

[Neurorelay]

I keep trying to make that dang spoon dissappear or bend; I know I am a god, but the spoon still stays. What gives, the Matrix sucks.

youre first problem is that there is no spoon. Therefore how can you bend what is not there?

Your mind is weak, young apprentice.

But in accepting that there is no spoon, don't you have to first recognize the spoon as something, albiet something that is not there? But in recognizing it, you accept that it's valid, and therefore, it must exist because you have recognized it!

How do you reconcile these recognition issues?

They say god is the immovable unthinking being, only he has mastered this art.

So in essence, stop thinking and stare blankly into the void.

If i take you a spoon then take it away from your sight or even the room is the spoon there?

Though I understand youre point is about existance and my point was about it being there or not. Maybe i misunderstood that part of the movie.

Ahh a question of phenomenalism "A tree falls and you are not there, does it make a sound?" All of this is about your intial acceptance of the properties everyone agrees upon in relation to a given object. Hence, I agree that there is a thing called a spoon that is made of metal and is shiny. Now I further agree that I can make it bend and/or dissappear based upon my own will.

Right, but that's completely different than saying "This object does not exist. I will now bend this object." as other posters have suggested.
