What is freedom? Does anyone really have it?
That is a matter of perception, for sure.
We view freedom as humans not needing the Machines to breed us, feed us intravenously, live in goo, and having us dreaming a lie while in a perpetual coma.
The Mervs want free existance and power over the dream... which is not even real. Ridiculous.
Since you must rely on machines(not the matrix machines, but actual equipment) to keep Zion alive, can you ever be free?
Actual hardware...I see. Define actual hardware :smileywink:
If you are referring to the shell in which the AI inhabits in the Desert of the Real, then this actual hardware could be our flesh, blood and bones as well.
If we have learned anything from the records of Zion, (referring to the documents Code Named: The Animatrix), all machines and podborn humans are alike in which both can be inserted/broadcasted into the Matrix, either through a cranial jack or the Trainman in the form of Exiles.
Need I remind you that all power now comes from us, and they are attached to the Matrix as much as we are. If we control it, we control them. Perhaps we could even form our own Peace, one in which Humans and Machines live together, jacked in or not. Freedom to roam and end this struggle. Freedom, to the body, and the mind.
The likes of Zion and those supporting the Machines are looking at what they believe is a two-sided war for freedom...how wrong they are.
Look at the consequences to war in the Matrix:
If Zion manages to miraculously shut down the Matrix, killing all Bluepills and Machines connected to it and ending the Machine power supply...then our world will remain barren, the skies scortched, and humanity left to fade away.
If the Machines defeat Zion inside the Matrix and out, this whole process will restart, and they will have an even better chance of keeping Bluepills asleep until the return of the One. Over and over.
However, if the third party, uniting Machines, Exiles, Redpills, and Freeborn humans alike triumphs above these misguided forces, then we can have a world we can live, and grow in. Equally.
Until then, our struggle continues.
Bon Chance.
