In the matrix, Morpheus gives Neo a red pill and a blue pill and tells him that this is his last chance. Choose the blue pill, the story ends, wake up in bed and believe what you believe; Choose the red pill, stay and take him to the depth of the rabbit hole.

It’s too easy to think of the story of “Zhuang Zhou Meng die”, an ancient Chinese allusion, and put forward “what is true?” Philosophical Questioning of postmodernism.

In the perfect crime, Baudrillard explained the relationship between reality and illusion. “The world is a fundamental illusion. In order to eliminate it, we must regard the world as real, give it real power, and make it exist and meaningful at any cost”.

In Baudrillard’s theory, all the world we now have is an “illusion”, and all the meaning of our existence is to prove that the world is “real”, or that there is a real world outside the illusory world. This hard pursuit of “reality” eventually led to the disappearance of illusion, that is, the destruction of the world.

According to Baudrillard’s definition of the pseudo real world, the process of human discovering the real world is also the process of the world’s destruction. What human beings are facing here is an extremely painful self involved contradiction – the gradual change of human symbolization and the expansion of the virtual world begin to merge. In the social activities that strive to make the vain world more real, people gradually symbolize their free will to adapt to the symbolization of the world.

In the end, what happened after Neo defeated matrix? Zizek said that the problem returned to Plato’s Utopia: the matrix did not repeat Plato’s cave fable – ordinary people became prisoners, were tightly tied to their seats, forced to watch the strange images of the so-called reality, and mistakenly believed that it was reality.

The important difference between the matrix and it is that when some of them escape from their cave dilemma, what they see is no longer the beautiful space illuminated by the sun, the supreme beauty, but the “real desert”.

Finally, all the problems come down to Plato, the Republic, the Millennium kingdom of Christianity and the Utopia of humanists. It also goes back to the original fear: the matrix distorts our perception of reality. It is a desperate rabbit hole and an infinite cycle about the real world.

In fact, mankind is always looking for new living space in the process of the continuous development of science and technology. The emergence of computer virtual space provides the possibility of splitting the infinite world. But people suddenly found that the weak connection of online symbolization still has endless hidden dangers. From privacy to personal identity, online information has exceeded national symbols and economic symbols and become a part of our virtual image.
