@Aaron – Thanks! I love how your pictures really exemplify the idea of “unique genius” in that post.

@Zune – Thank you. Sometimes The Matrix calls to me…. is that wrong? lol

@Jon – Maybe if we all believe in SR and that Trinity is your girlfriend, then it’ll come true. Even Morpheus agrees…

MORPHEUS: If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then ‘real’ is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.

@Delmy Yes, events are absolute and so is reality. Our differing perceptions of reality differ doesn’t change absolute reality. One could say that subjective reality is just a synonym for perception of reality. If I drop acid does reality change? Only my perceptions of it.

@Lira: I’ve read the Steve Pavilna web page on Ojective Reality vs. Subjective Reality. I’m not saying that my reality (whether it’s OR or SR) is absolutely the right one, for I can only perceive it to the limits of my input functions. I’m saying there is an absolute reality.

Anyway, since Matrix dialogue fragments are employed as evidence of our positions on this thread, let’s go back to a conversation between Cypher and Trinity:

CYPHER: All I do is what he tells me to do. If I had to chose between that and the Matrix, I’d choose the Matrix.
TRINITY: The Matrix isn’t real.
CYPHER: I disagree, Trinity. I think the Matrix can be more real than this world. All I do is pull a plug here, but there… you have to watch Apoc die.

Isn’t that great? I mean, if Trinity had said anything about subjective realities, it just wouldn’t be the same. She’s a rock, and why she rocks. In my subjective reality she’s my girlfriend. Wait, did I just contradict myself? Damnit!

@Jon I believe events are absolute, but reality may vary according to the inner state of mind of each living individual on Earth, hence it can’t be absolute, but subjective. And it is that personal reality of each single individual on the world that purpose reveals and defines the very action and reaction, to oneself and the others.

what would we be without purpose? – in a more existential perspective:

Agent Smith Clone 1: It is purpose that created us.
Agent Smith Clone 2: Purpose that connects us.
Agent Smith Clone 3: Purpose that pulls us.
Agent Smith Clone 4: That guides us.
Agent Smith Clone 5: That drives us.
Agent Smith Clone 6: It is purpose that defines us.
Agent Smith Clone 7: Purpose that binds us.
