We have enough youth; how about a "fountain of smart"?
For the second in my installment of PROBLEMs (Phil's Review Of Books, Life, Entertainment & Movies) I'm going to recommend the movie The Matrix.
What can I say? I love "nature of reality" stories, and this one comes with lots of kick-ass action and fine chicks in body suits for the guys, evil human-like machines and mind control shit for SciFi nerds, and, my personal favorite, some form of MOST of the important philosophical questions from classical philosophy! Ha-ha, they snuck that past you, didn't they?! Who thought philosophy could be so hip and badass and entertaining.
I'm not going to drag on about all the fine points and implications and pro/con arguments about their treatment, yadda yadda yawn...the movie speaks for itself, in spades, baby! And there's been books written about the Philosophy of the Matrix (look it up, beeyotch!)
Besides: it's been a long week, and I'm tired. Seriously, though: If you haven't seen this movie yet, crawl out from under your rock, turn on a light and WATCH IT! More than once if possible (mmmmm...meaty!). If you haven't seen it in awhile, I suggest rewatching it with an eye to all the questions it brings up, and what it's trying to say between all the mind-bending crap.
And remember....there is no spoon.
Phil
