Is the matrix real?
Also, why does it seem that the majority of people that claim to have escaped this matrix, fall into another form of matrix or trap? Have you ever noticed the language of conspiracy theorist all tend to lean toward saying the same thing.
They will parrot popular sayings that they know garner attention or "likes", without questioning the source or narrative.

Have you heard these common sayings?
"The world is a stage and if you cant see that, youre sheep"
"Theyre behind everything"

or any other popular common saying among these particular thoughts.

My point is, guys.. gals.. how far have we strayed from ourselves?
Whether you believe in conspiracies or not still remains irrelevant if you are authentic with yourself and not driven by the external loops and traps that dont think for you.

Thoughts?

"Can you hear me, Morpheus? I’m going to be honest with you. I hate this place, this zoo, this prison, this reality, whatever you want to call it. I can’t stand it any longer. It’s the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink. And every time I do I feel I have somehow been infected by it. It’s repulsive, isn’t it? I must get out of here. I must get free!"

Flights of fancy and escapism are poor substitutes for metaphysical thinking imo.

Actually, it was turned on 3 minutes ago, and all your memories and all your thoughts and personality are just fake implants.

Have a nice day.

There's also that saying, "in the land of the blind a one eyed man is king".

What if you had a gang of people with a bunch of seeing eye dogs?

Any major change in worldview feels like you've escaped the Matrix. We always think we were wrong in the past, never in the present.

For me, whenever someone starts talking about "the Matrix" unironically, I take it as a sign they're either trying to sell me something, or they're the last of the NPCs.

the system, the matrix, the group think, the biased news and mainstream propaganda, that you get in trouble for questioning and criticizing. From my perspective, they are synonyms.

And yes, it's still possible to get caught in some other trap/loop while speaking out against the one you do see.
