the matrix office scene

As I sit on my desk editing lines of code to refine a parametric model my mind wanders to that scene in Matrix where Keanu Reeves sits motionless in front of his computer terminal. The reality of my present moment seems caricatured in this forgettable scene. We all seemed destined to follow a script intentionally or not. The concept of whether our present reality is a dream or an illusion was an interesting concept but one that was hacked to death in philosophical discussions, blogs, and the rest of the Matrix series. I'm resigned to the fact that yes this is reality and not a cover up for something sinister but I still sort of wonder where this seemingly eternal rat race leads to.
