Plato’s Matrix




The extensive influence of ancient Gnosticism on the Matrix movies is by now well known.

I am thinking of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. Let’s refresh our memories. Plato asks us to picture a small community dwelling in a huge cave

Quotes by Robert M. Price  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Heresy," by the way, simply means "choice." It came to mean "thoughtcrime," implying it was blasphemy to presume to choose your own belief instead of swallowing what the bishops spoonfed you.”
Robert M. Price

“Whatever can be threatened, whatever can be shaken, whatever you fear cannot stand, is destined to crash. Do not go down with the ship. Let that which is destined to become the past slip away. Believe that the real you is that which beckons from the future. If it is a sadder you, it will be a wiser one. And dawn will follow the darkness sooner or later. Rebirth can never come without death.”
Robert M. Price

“I bet you've seen the fundamentalist bumper sticker that says, "God said it! I believe it! That settles it!" It must be a typo because what the driver really means is, "I said it! God believes it! That settles it!”
Robert M. Price
