Are we living in the Matrix or something similar? I know this is a thing a lot of people say but even if we're not in a literal matrix, we sure are living in a metaphorical one. In this video I reminisce about watching The Matrix when it first came out back in the day. I relate it to events of the past few years and how people are currently feeling.
What say ye? Do you think there's something wrong somewhere but just don't know what? I think a lot of people feel like that lately.
Peace & Love,

Well described, Ade. Noticed those things too. Am not too much into conspiracy theories so I don’t believe in a „big masterplan behind“ or something but Covid restrictions and all that shaked many pillars of belief kind of unintendedly. It happened and cannot be undone.
People question quite some of their basic beliefs, outcome unclear yet but winds of change are blowing. Like back in 1989 when the Cold War ended. This song picked up the sentiment back then quite well:

That song is an absolute classic. It's funny I made a vide about 10 years ago when I walked away from a cubicle slavery job in the city and I used that soundtrack. Looking back it was even more apt than I originally intended.
I also often think if we are living in a matrix. Nevertheless, I never thought the way you described. Your description is urging me to re evaluate my own thinking.
So you are saying that the covid time increased the consciousness of the people as they got the time to contemplate and break free the matrix they have been into for a long time?
I think that may have been what happened. I lot of people are now really unsettled and unwilling to accept the old lies or at least want better answers.
I was about 8 or 9 when I first saw the Matrix and I loved it but didnt understand the underlying themes at all. Now I feel that it is a great metaphor. I don't believe we are plugged in to VR or living in vats but rather that is is our perception of the world that is a Matrix and many people are waking up that. But, sadly, people can wake up, get scared and want to go back to ignorance too.
OMG 100%. This is so true haha.
