No, probably not, if I had no knowledge of the intellectual discourse the came before me. But that is not the case.
It's not like this is a new conversation. People have been talking about this sort of thing for millennia. That laid a groundwork of rigor around "thinking" that modern-day people can build upon.
While the "Matrix" is new, the idea it expresses is not. Epistemologists have just been using different examples. The Matrix is just the latest incarnation.

Do you also ask yourself if you're Snow White and the Seven dwarves or is it just the Matrix you compare real life to?
The problem I have with you is that everything you say is not your original idea, you weren't there, and you have no proof whatsoever. You're like a parrot.
I look up at the moon and ask "Who created that"?
You come along and say, "Nobody. It's not even real. We could be Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. There's no way of knowing.".
