hidden powers.
ok. gnosticism and the matrix. they are very closly tied. gnosticism dictated that humans are divine souls trapped in a physical encasing (our bodies), and that we must break from his and that the only way to restore ourselves to our previous, divine self is through aqcuiring knowledge and meditation. we were put here because of (gnosticism has many different explanations and versions but this is the basic idea), a not necesaraly evil but foolish divine power and its actions. we were left here to break free from our imprisonment. tell me where this doesnt sound like the matrix. the divine souls; our free conciousness. the breaking free through acquiring of knowledge; learning the truth abut humans and the matrix. put here because of a foolish act; the creation of AI and the scorching of the sky (which scorching of the sky already carries a wide variety of religious connotations). yes they're a lot alike. i obtained all my information from the wikipedia article and my previous knowledge of the matrix.

I would like to see a LOT more in-depth discussion of the texts. Getting ahead is OK, but not at the expense of really looking closely at the texts for the week.
nice work but like dr.smith said get more into depth with your discussion on the text but other then that is pretty good mine aint all that anyways
throw some more opinions in there and you should be fine :]
