In our class, we've been talking about several interesting topics that have left me thinking. However, we’ve just recently watched a film the referenced source code. Source code is simply defined as the 8 minutes your brain has to simply recall memories—whether it be a lifetime or of the last few moments of life before death. This topic reminds me of when people have flashbacks or have moments of déjà vu in their lives. To elaborate, when people go through déjà vu, they get the sense that whatever they’re doing or what they’re looking at has already happened before. Now, did this action happen before in a parallel universe? Or is this source code at its finest. I understand that for source code to happen, one must die. But I propose that everyone has gone through source code when they’ve gone through déjà vu because it’s like another you did the exact same thing you just did a month ago. This ties in to when we were discussing the Body Theory v the Memory Theory. In Mr. Green’s video, he depicted a body being teleported to a different planet, Mars for example, while the original copy stayed on Earth. Now, both of these people are on two different planets, but technically in a sense, they’re the same person in a different universe. At the end of the movie, Goodwin receives an email from Stevens who’s in source code. This connection between alternate realities proves to ME that source code exists because of the contact through realities/universes. Stevens, in a sense, developed another, real reality to which he could connect to Goodwin who is actually real. This crossing of realities makes me wonder, are we real? or are we living through those eight minutes?

For my first blog post ever, I would simply like to address what I am currently reading about in Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. Although this isn't quite where we're at or "supposed to be at" as a class, a certain excerpt that stuck out to me was way way WAY back when we read the chapter "The Top Hat". In this particular chapter, the philosopher uses the analogy of a white rabbit to help explain philosophy (and philosophers) in itself. The philosopher explains how in order to be a "good" philosopher, one simply cannot lose his/her sense of wonder/questioning. The philosopher began to elaborate with the analogy of a white rabbit being pulled out of a hat to which mortals are born on the tip of the rabbit's hairs, with a great sense of wonder. However, over time we mortals tend to sink down into the fur of the rabbit and simply never try to climb back to the top of the hairs. The philosopher states that the mortals who do climb  the hairs are philosophers, or philosophers
in the making. Thus, coming to the conclusion that not everyone can be a philosopher because
some people fall off the rabbit's hair  and cling to the fur, and decide to never wonder outside of "the norm" again. The "norm" seemed to be stated as when one no longer questions the things they see or become amazed with the world around them. Similar to Sophie, I began to ponder this and wonder if I too had fallen into the rabbit's fur and was no longer questioning life and being astonished by the things and object of creation around me. It was definitely this chapter that left me a bit shook and thinking because then,I began to notice a lot more of the little things in life.
