How do we know if we're in reality or the matrix? It is something we wouldn't know. In "The Matrix and Philosophy" they have many different types of views that we could be in the matrix. One of them that interested me was from Hilary Putnam, he said to imagine that our brain have been surgically separated from our bodies and placed in a vats. That a powerful computer then sends electrical impulses into our brains giving the illusion of playing sports, sitting in a chair, and all our everyday activities. I could be believe that our brain could be in a vat and everything we go through is an illusion. We seek for the truth but we don't know the truth. It make me wonder if our brain is in a vat and a computer keeps sending electrical impulse making us see, feel, touch, and taste things.
