Since Neo can deactivate sentinels with his mind, does that mean

>>81200232
there were no such thing as self-driving trucks back in 1999

>>81200837
They didn't have sentinels in 1999 either

the "real world" was just another layer of the matrix

why stop at electronics. couldn't he control electrical signals in people's brains?

>>81200232
if it was connected to the source like sentinels are then yes

He was still inside the Matrix, he never left

Actually the writers were just fucking hacks and dropped any follow up to this event to wrap the series up with a superman fight in the rain flying around

>>81200933
But Neo wasn't hooked up to anything when he stopped the sentinels

>>81200892
not in the simulated world inside the matrix, they were in the real world

>>81201048
he was the chosen one, he was hooked all the time wirelessly. the point if the scene was to show that

>>81200232

Only things connected to the Source

>>81201098
I see what you mean, but I meant that a self driving truck had found its way to Zion so that Neo could stop it the same way he stopped a sentinel.

Could Neo turn on a lightbulb wirelessly using only his mind?

>>81201277
how would a truck get to Zion? that's stupid there are no roads to the underground city.
No to mention, it would rely on GPS or some other satelite based technology

>>81200898
>>81200977
correct
>>81201048
he was hooked to the Matrix
>>81201098
no

>>81201192
This

Thats why Neo had matrix vision in the real world and why he could see Agent Smith even though he had just blinded Neo.

>>81201424
if the world where people are hooked into the matrix is just a simulation then you dont know what the real world looks like, and thus you cannot claim they are hooked to anything. Maybe they are just floating brains in electric smoke or maybe they dont even have a physical form.

>>81201407
A self driving truck is just an example of a wireless semi autonomous device, you can come up with a better one if you want. I'm only concerned with whether Neo can turn it on or off

>>81200977

The "real world is the Matrix" is the dumbest theory. It's inconsistent, and contradicted by the movie itself.

>>81201626
oh, then the answer is just machines, as in AI machines connected to the source as this guy said >>81201192

self-driving trucks... that's just silly

>>81201726
maybe. Shepard was 100% indoctrinated though

>>81201726

The brothers got lazy and dropped the complicated elements to wrap the movie up in a fight and a peace between the machines and humans

>>81201802
fucking this, against my better judgement I've been replaying the series and he definitely is right from the derelict reaper onwards, maybe even before that

>>81200232
>Since Neo can deactivate sentinels with his mind, does that mean he can interact with other electronics too?
probably

> Could he stop a self-driving truck, for example?
maybe

Neo was predestined to do what he did. It was his purpose given to him by the architect. It's never explicitly stated, but given that he was engineered by the machines to do what he ended up doing, it's no huge leap to presume that in addition to the plugs and taps that were installed in him after birth and throughout his development, he was outfitted with some sort of array of EM transmitters. EM transmitters to be discovered and unlocked if his iteration of the messiah should gain sufficient power and understanding to push through their version of Fichte "Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis" cycle to push both humanity and machines forward in their individual and shared evolutions to the next level. Hence why he gained second sight WRT objects tapped into the machine city, and the ability to influence those same connected objects at a distance.

I was just kidding, anon, your 'fucking this' is a joke. Anyone who believes in the indoctrination theory or the multi-layered matrix is just stuck in denial and havent moved to acceptance or whatever stupid phase you gotta go through before acceptance

>>81202269
actually they'd be in the bargaining phase now that I think about it. whatever.

bottom line: accept it and get over it

>>81202269
>multi-layered matrix
triple layered matrix is where the trannychowskis stole the main idea from aka Simulacron 3

>>81202688

Mr Anderson?

>The "real world is the Matrix" is the dumbest theory. It's inconsistent, and contradicted by the movie itself.

it's literally the only theory. they even say that the idea of neo himself (guy who wakes up to save them) is part of the program

>>81202688

they also say that machines use the taste of chicken as a wild-card flavour. They say a lot of things.

>>81200232
only methheads & schizophrenics still talk about the matrix

>>81202688
This is a clever Matrix joke, gj

>>81201948

If that were true, then the movies would've ended with Neo punching Smith's head off

Or like the video game where Neo punches a giant one to death.

That's not how it happened though

>>81202772

The Architect says that. He doesn't understand growth or love.

The Oracle does. She understands that the Machines need humanity, and for more than just power. It's why she helps Neo reach the Machine City.

And achieve enlightenment.

The "Zion is the Matrix" is a theory by people who aren't engaging with the material.

>>81201192
No, its not because of that. It's because he was never a human. Neo is an android. He is an idol created and worshiped by machines as an imitation of their creator. He is basically god.

How come Neo had powers outside of the Matrix?(being able to see Agent Smith while blind, etc)
Was Zion part of a simulation, too?

>>81202688
how

>>81202688

Are we in the matrix?

You're retard if you think it's just another level of the matrix or a plothole. They literally, explicitly explain that it's because Neo touched the source. Keep being retarded tho

Multi layer matrix makes more sense but is not canon and is rejected by the film in favor of nonsense

>>81203571

No.
