You should realize this at a young age. There is no escaping the matrix. There is simply no way you can do it. A lot of people think they can get out, but they can’t. It’s just not possible. There is no way to escape the matrix, and any attempt to do so is a waste of your time. Gurus like Andrew Tate have done a lot of damage to this world, but I think one of the worst things they’ve done is propogate the myth that the modern man is trapped in some sort of matrix. Even if we are, there’s no point in trying to escape.
What is the Matrix?
It comes from a movie series of the same name. Basically the Matrix is a computer generated society that mimicks the real world exactly and is fully immersive, but in reality it’s an illusion that humans experience while their life force is being sucked out. It’s a nonsensical myth when you think about it. We don’t bother putting cows in any kind of trance, do we? Either way, even if you believe in the matrix, there’s no point in trying to escape once you’re here in reality.
Want money? You’re playing into the matrix’s hands.
If there is a matrix, money is definitely its main tool. Money is what greases the wheels of the matrix. If you don’t make money in today’s world, your life is hard, and people have a ton of power over your situation. That’s when it feels like you’re really in the matrix. In order to feel like you’re escaping, you need to enter the matrix at a deeper level.
Power requires full engagement
If you want to be powerful, you have to know stuff and communicate with people. You can work from behind the scenes from a public perspective, but people do need to know who you are. You can’t get any power of any kind without fully immersing yourself in the “matrix”.
Hiding requires mastery of knowledge
If you want to be a hermit and live off the land, or even become a loner, you’re going to need to learn how to survive in today’s world. In order to live a harder life avoiding the matrix, you’re going to have to become very well versed in its ways.
Suicide is the only logical way to escape the matrix, but that’s not the solution
If we’re really in a controlled system, the only way to exit the game is to end it. No man is an island, and like I said earlier, hiding requires skill. If you think we’re in the matrix, that means that all of life is being controlled by some omnipotent force. The only way to escape is to die. Don’t kill yourself. Simulated or not, life is a beautiful thing. Call your local suicide hotline/therapist if you’re feeling suicidal.
Since I’m stuck, what should I do?
Literally just follow the NPC protocol. It’s not that hard and life gets way better the closer you get to it. There’s a reason NPCs are subtly acknowledged to be common. Living like one is easy. Work hard, do your chores, get a nice house in the suburbs. Trying to do otherwise and fight nature is what leads to people’s downfall.
You can’t escape the matrix. Accept it. Stop taking life so seriously. Realize that we’re all in this sandbox together and do your best to build something in a safe way. If you’re in the same predicament as most, it’ll take a lot of work. That’s fine. Let the game play out. There are a lot of experiences to be had and there’s a lot of life to be lived. Depression is a sign that things need to change. So make changes when you feel depressed. Treat it like both a disease and a symptom. Fight to live. If you don’t, that’s when the matrix will truly swallow you up.
Thanks for paying attention.
