Do you think all the wierd stuff in the movie "ghostbusters" was actually a breakdown in the second or third matrix?

I was just watching it, thought of the haunted house in the animatrix, and thought the machines probably screwed up alot until they got it right! :|:beer:

in point of fact no. to my knowledge, the first example of a popularized matrix dates back to long before christ. Plato's "Republic" features a striking matrix, wherein the prisoners are held in a cave (form birth) and deprived of all sensation except for a somewhat elaborate shadow play on the wall. One prisoner finally escapes the cave (neo) and actualizes himself.

Yeah.

It's hardly a new concept. We kinda live in a Matrix in a sense. There are certainly "higher up" things that the general population has no knowledge or control of.

I'd give an erudite reply, but it's really hard to type while wearing my ultracool sunglasses.:cool:
