The Glory of the Matrix

The matrix is an amazing teaching tool for teaching this text, right? Because it essentially gives you a modern way of doing the same walk down the path that we did in the first meditation. And kind of gets you to where you need to be to kind of get to the point of what is descartes trying to accomplish. Here, the beginning of the second meditation, he makes a reference to archimedes, who, of course, said, give me one fixed point and i can move the world. So i gave it to him, and he didn't, bastard. His stick wasn't long enough.
