Not if you define a hallucination as something that exists only in one person's mind. The Matrix would still exist without any human minds to perceive it. It's 'stored' in the physical memory of a machine, presumably. And anyone hooked into the system would experience the same Matrix as anyone else. Not true of hallucinations and hallucinogens.

The easy way to prove whether or not we were in the matrix would be to follow the rabbit, and take the pill.

but would you take the red pill or the blue pill? i mean, why risk it? If we ARE in the matrix, would you want to escape it into a world worse than hell?

Yeah, I've always believed in the truth, no matter how harsh it is.

But what if the pill merely produces a hallucination that seems as real as the Matrix?

What if the "real world" is a deeper level of the Matrix, used to trap those minds that are in danger of escaping?

Precisely. Or what if the first-level world is really real, and the one reached by the red pill is the actual trap?

or maybe the matrix is a never ending loop, with infinite "real worlds" that are just deeper level matrixes?

They'd need a lot of people to power that...

right this is too deep and i can barely keep up.....*brain overheats*

Thats how the machines get power, they confuse people.

um i see.....right....so what would haooen if none got confused and we are all living in the matrix?
