I've read about five seperate articles in which doctors say the mind is nothing like a computer, but a garden.

Think about it, a computer has a set amount of memory. What it "knows" is simply information fed to it.

Now let's look at a garden. I can take one flower, and make a garden full of many different diverse and amazing flowers. Once that one flower is there, it will continue to spread until more come, and with that, it will attract other sources which will bring other types of plants. It will continue to grow and grow until it is met with death, though that death may be from a number of entities.



Okay, now for reality.

The Matrix stole an age-old belief, that the only reason why things are the way they are is it because it is agreed. For example, that desk it there because we all agree it's there. That building is there because it is the collected belief that it is there. The majority dictates what exists and what doesn't exist. Who's to say that people with auditory and visual schizophrenia aren't seeing real people that the majority are incapapble of seeing?


And now for a new thought entirely.

How do you know that the red you see is the red I see? What if the red you see is actually my yellow? How would we know? Could we ever know?
