wakeup_3

Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from the dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world? (Chapter 9 0:31:32)* The text again references dreams, sleep, reality. The epistemological questions of knowledge, how one knows they exist. Skeptics argue that for all anyone knows, nothing we hold true is in fact knowledge because we may just be brains in a vat with electrodes attached to our sensory ports. There is no definite way to acquire true knowledge.
