Do you hear that? That\'s the sound of conceptual inevitability. We all know this was coming, so grab your bondage gear and chug some red pills, cause Kansas is going bye bye! We\'re doing The Matrix and Skepticism. There\'s so much skepticism packed into this classic, we\'re gonna spread it out and let it breathe some. For part one, we cover the Cartesian style external world skepticism and the simulation theory skepticism. Next week we\'ll get to Plato\'s allegory of the Cave and some critiques of the message of The Matrix.
