0G36: The Matrix and Skepticism, Part 2

What if I were to tell you that everything you know is wrong? What if I told you that the story you know is a system of control made up by people who want to keep you from the one real truth: The Matrix lacks a clear message on the problem of skepticism. On its own, it's kind of a confused mess of messaging. We dive into this issue, starting with a discussion of Plato's allegory of the cave and moving through Sextus Empiricus into the modern epistemic crisis we face. Can I justify forcing Thomas to watch the second movie? You'll have to tune in to find out.
