Why didnt he just bend the spoon with his hands???

Why didnt he just bend the spoon with his hands???

there is no spoon

Because you can, yes, bend a spoon with your hands IRL.

Doing it in his mind actually proved he could manipulate things in the Matrix.

In case you're still reading, it's a lot like what Morpheus said about dodging bullets: "When you're ready, you won't have to."

...

But in the Matrix, he has no physical body, bending a spoon with his hands is mentally equivalent to bending it without his hands.

This checkmates the atheist

this is the correct answer

Why didn't he just eat some ice cream?

Not the point. The Matrix makes you believe that those are your hands, and that you can't bend the spoon without using them.

>The Matrix makes you believe that those are your hands

Thank you

can't believe so many ITT have trouble grasping that

But Neo is already unironically red pilled, he knows those aren't his hands

In the matrix you can eat soup with a fork???

Checkmate, psycucks. Outsmarted by S1 Ash.

not at this point. its only once he dies that he achieves this state

He's just staring off into space?
What the fuck! Weird.

Just rewatched up to that scene, you're wrong

no he isnt

the fact that he allowed himself to die after smith shot him proves he wasnt fully redpilled yet

then he came back to life and stopped the bullets the three agents shot at him, just like Morpheus said he would when he was ready.

/thread

>he knows those aren't his hands

He """"""""knows"""""""" in theory, yes Morpheus told him and his rational mind is aware, but that's not the entirety of his consciousness.

knowing doesn't imply understanding

I'm wondering this too.. what the heck??

and no hands

Why am I seeing a blank picture in the op?

If there is no spoon, what was it he was able to bend?

There is no OP.

bending a spoon with his hands while in the matrix would have meant he was just another user using the spoon's api

>when you are ready you won't need an api

>There is no OP.

His mind.

The mind is as much a physical phenomenon as hands are

His mind looks like a spoon?

No, that's your autism.

...

...

His mind looks like my autism?

>If there is no spoon, what was it he was able to bend?

He was able to bend "reality" in the Matrix, the spoon was a representation of that fakeness, that which doesn't really exist.

Exactly.

So he wanted to bend something he was convinced wasn't there?

He doesn't look at all convinced in the movie, it's just some kid saying some weird thing to him.

Still, he took up the challenge, tried it and saw it happen so he saw some truth in it.
