If we already live in a matrix, if our free will is simply an illusion...it
doesn't matter. It bears the perception of reality, which is sufficient. It's
real to us, so what more can we ask for? We can hardly say more about our own
reality, anyway. As long as I really feel love, and I really have some
satisfaction with my life, details like what I'm plugged into are secondary.

I am surprised that I have never seen such issues raised in these
message boards about 'The Matrix' movie.
The Internet or some Singularity could be manipulating human
consciousness via electronic (wireless RF, of course) signals to the
brain right now (http://www.surveillanceissues.com/default.htm). Who
needs an army of Terminator robots! Or is it already too late.

courtesy, kindness, and work.
