My first comment is from Sebastian's blog. His post was about his mash-up project and how the meaning behind it really resonated with him.
I definitely feel the same way about my mash-up. It gave new meaning to a lot of great things, meaning I would never have found if not for this project, not to mention that it's always fun to incorporate what you love into schoolwork. What other kind of project would allow me to cite a video game? Anyways, it's cool to know that someone else enjoyed/found meaning from the mash-up project just as much as I did.
My second comment is from Eliana's blog. Her post was a dialectic about bliss vs. darkness, and how she would have chosen to stay in the Matrix.
Watching "The Matrix" really made me think like you did. Besides considering the way of life in each reality, there was no sensory difference between the two, so either was a viable reality in my opinion. Also, the machines could have been a lot harsher by possibly either forcing us to be conscious of the real world while being used as a human battery, or not even having any sort of consciousness. If Morpheus presented me with the choice Neo had to make, I would have chosen the blue pill and told him to free me from the Matrix when there was a world worth living in, because until the machines are defeated, the only purpose of living in the real world is to fight them; unfortunately, I'm not the kind of person who's willing to do that.
