“The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us, even now in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes.
It is the world that has been pulled down over your eyes to blind you from the truth, the truth that you are a slave. As long as the Matrix exists, the human race will never be free.”
The Matrix
Well, folks, the Matrix exists! Not the computer generated “virtual reality” fed into the vat-grown humans of the movie, nor is it the creation of sentient machines at war with humanity, but it does exist, and its purpose is the same: to blind us to our slavery.
