Possibility verse Probability

In Scene one of “the matrix and philosophy” there is a lot of talk about skepticism verse reality as well as possibility against probability. It is stated how skeptic raises eyebrows for the fact that knowledge requires certainty. How do we know what’s real and what’s a façade? We learn through what we experience everyday. Knowledge is built on what appears genuine to the eye. Scene one part three David Nixon argues how do we really know if we’re in the matrix or not. He touches base on “methodological skepticisms” of Descartes in which he indulges the possibility that a demon has manipulated all of his energy to deceive him. Descartes proposed doubt for the fact that there was possibility an evil demon could deceive him. In comparison Neo is viewed the same way. Neo has lived his prior life thinking that was reality. After Morpheus gives Neo the option of taking the red or blue pill, (which Neo takes the red pill) Morpheus explains to Neo “no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.” Truthfully I look at it as a merely hallucination. He has taken a pill from a man he does know and his mind is flipping back and forth from the real world and a fantasy land he has made in his mind. As stated in “the matrix and philosophy” Nixon is not asking whether his possible new beliefs are fictitious its more so on what reasons are there to believe that it’s real. In a nut shell whether in “reality” or in the matrix it’s all based on perception and how we view thing. If something seems believable enough to ones knowledge that is how we determine the difference between real and illusion.
