Blogging Around

I first commented on Minho's blog titled "Dialectics: Reality and Stimulation," in which he brought up a good point that pretty much everything is real, even if it is isn't concrete.

Minho,
I completely agree with this blog post. The word "real" or "reality" really doesn't have a concrete definition, and along with that, just because something isn't concrete doesn't make it any less real. I love how you approached that with the idea of Neo eating the Noodles and how that was real too. I kinda feel like the Matrix almost complicates our definition of real because it brings into the equation something that is definately not real right now: The Matrix itself. (Well, unless we are in it, in which case, then im wrong). Really, though, this blog post get's across a great point: Everything really, is real. And i LOVE how you wrote it too. Nice job!

Then I commented on Kara's blog, also titled "Dialectics: Reality and Stimulation," only she made a point of talking about how people choose simulation over reality to get away from their real lives. 

Kara,
I love this post because I think it applies to our world a lot now. You talked about how people in the world will someday be forced to choose between reality and stimulation and in a way, people already do that now. It's like the show CATFISH on MTV. It's about how people meet other people online, and fall in love with them. What is interesting, is that when they go to meet each other in person, most of the time, they are nothing like who they are online. Even now in the world, people choose simulation to get away from their real life. Overall, I think the point you make in your blog is awesome, and totally applicable to our lives today, and it was really enlightening. Awesome job girly!
