Are we living in the matrix? I think is question lie upon a person's personal believe. We are free to believe anything, that is what separated human for machine. A free will to believe what we chose is a greatest gift one can possibly acquired. Human being chose what they believe is logically true, but how can we justified what is true? How do we defined real? In the book Nixon claim that we are probability living in the matrix. I have to disagree. How can an opinion of one man apply to million others. As a child we are taught to believe a certain things exist like Santa Claus, Tooth fairy etc. But as we grew older we come to realize that they do not exist. Some people believe in god but how do you prove that god exist, that he is real. People said that god is watching over us. Their are 6 billion people on this planet, how can god have the ability to watch over everybody? The same principal apply to Neo and Morpheus. Before offering Neo the blue and red pills, Morpheus tells Neo,"No one can be told what the matrix is. You have to see it for yourself." Morpheus knows that even if he told Neo about the matrix he would not believe him. Neo have to acknowledge and justified his knowledge and believe on his own that the matrix is real. Morpheus also said "some people are so build to the system they are not ready to be unplug or that they will fight to keep it alive".
This is another evidence of how people so possess in their believe they will fight for their believe regardless of what is right or wrong, real or artificial. If we do believe we are living in the matrix we might as well be. There really are no actual prove whether we are living in the matrix or not. It's all in our heads.
