When Truman Finally exits Sea Heaven, what do you think it is that expect to find on the other side of the door? When Truman finally exit Sea heaven he is going to run into a lot of new and crazy things. First thing going to happen to him is he going to get a crowd of difference fans. some are for him leaving and then you have some against. his fans will be there to welcome him to the real world. his hating fans will have doubts that the real world would be too much for him and they would think that he should go back to Sea Heaven. Then, the news reporters and Camera crew would be there. Since the whole world was watching he is going to be very famous for a long time. He going to be on talk shows and radio just so the whole world understand what he went through. He probably is going to sue the director for putting his life on television. he would be all over the media.
Truman would have psychologist studying all over his life. they would want to research his whole life and try to understand if this type of containment is good for his life or any body's life. He would be in magazines and newspapers. paparazzi stalk the est of his life. he would have no privacy. Another most important thing that would be outside is his first real love Sylvia. she would most likely be there because she could tell him that she loves and wants to spend the rest of her life with each other. she's going to show him what the real would is like. so, yeah that what his life will be like on the other side. I think he would be overhauled of how the world become. he would go crazy and drive himself in crazy and plea to go back to Sea Heaven.

In "Fate, Freedom, and Foreknowledge", Schick explores the possibility of the existence of freewill both inside the Matrix program and, more broadly in Neo's life. Do you think your life is determined by a special, individual fate, or are you free to choose as you wish? Use your own life as the basis and compare to both the Matrix film and at least one of the philosophical positions Schick explores


personally, I think in my own experience staying alive is something that we don't have no control over. we all will die and theirs no other way around that. some people die early and some people die later. it just something we would have to face it sooner or later in out lives. this is why Neo did not want to accept fate for what it is, because he can't control whatever he want in his own life. he want to in control of fate. some people believe that god is fate and he's the one who decide what happen in our lives. just like the oracle in the matrix she is the one who knows every and know the outcome it all. Schick uses the oracle as fate she is the only one that can change it or knows what might happen before it actually happens.

The Sanford's uses the term "source"as a way to defined what is beyond what we know is real and unreal, inside and outside the matrix. The source is the evidence that help support what certain things are. they use the example from the matrix to explain that we know the people from Zion came from their parents but we don't know how it start or where it began. machines are produce by humans and by artificially intelligent machines. she is questioning how it all came to be. The Sanford's is trying tell us that all the stuff that happens in the matrix are not real and everything outside of the matrix is real. In order to distinguish this she contrast what we do know. The sources of all things in the matrix are the machines. The other way The Sanford's distinguish the real and the unreal is the term ontological status which define as the way things exist. the real world in the matrix does not depend on other for existence and stands on its own. the unreal world depends on things in the real world. so, as long as the machines keep running and generating in the real world, the unreal world could continue to function. The Sanford's explained it in a confusing way. I guess I understand a little of what they mean, The Real or The unreal.
To tell you the truth The Sanford's definiton was a little clear but I think that it could been explain more better becuase saying that the inside the matrix is not real is a little confusing becuase neo ask the same question when he ask morpyesis way he was bleeding and he though the matrix was not real and morphyesis said it's not it's in your mind. so, the mind is real and we all are an elusion of ourself. I don't really get it.
