5 REASONS WHY WE ARE LIVING IN THE MATRIX
#1 TELEVISION
The constant "programming" of your mind. Your devotion to the "Idiot Box". You believe everything you see. You defend what you do not know. The hypnotic spell takes over your mind and you are the perfect slave. Distracted by the sex and violence. You are the perfect victim. Live in fear and obey. Consume. Do not think. Sit and stare. Do not speak.
#2 FOOD
Do you know what you eat? Are you aware of the ingredients you ingest in your body on a daily basis? Do you care? You should care because all of these companies you buy your food from only care about profits. Why is cancer so rampant? Diabetes? Why are there so many health food stores nowadays? Why so many healthy changes to fast food menus? Moving on to the next trick. Let's see what we can come up with now. The damage has been done and you will continue loving it.
#3 HEALTHCARE
Please understand that doctors are in business to take care for your sickness. Why so quick to jump the gun and offer a magic pill that will introduce a whole other host of ailments instead of offering a strict diet plan and exercise routine? Evidence shows that this alone can prevent most illnesses from getting worse. Prescription medications shouldn’t be the end all be all for people who are on the verge of developing a condition but can still prevent it. Put down those pills, Pillsbury.
#4 SURVEILLANCE
Red light cameras. Text message and email snooping. Police drones will soon be issuing tickets in a state near you. "But hey, I have nothing to hide"! That is your first problem. Little by little your liberties will be stripped away until you are standing naked caressing your beloved smartphone. Sure, be an open book. As long as you have your Pokemon Go everything will be just fine. Snapple Fact : In NYC alone your image is captured a minimum of 500-750 times as you drive and walk about this great city which leads me to my last reason.....
#5 FACEBOOK
Facial recognition. The technology is there people. Your image can be grabbed anywhere throughout the country from any camera or database and thrown up on a computer for a quick search and there you are in all your glory. Your likes, dislikes, friends, interests, pet peeves, everything. It's all there. Everything about you is on a billboard and you made it so easy. A profile can be had in just a few keystrokes of any computer, including a smartphone from anywhere in the world. There you go. Nice shirt by the way...
"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes". - Morpheus
Please don't call it surveilance. Call the thing by it's real name: spying. Surveilance is a word made up by the media to make it look innocent.
you are so right, let's call it what it is, spying 110% correct! @neurosploit
It is getting crazy! What if Elon Musk is right and we are living in a simulation!
You are sooooo on target with your article. We are gradually becoming puppeteers for the government "goon squad" to hand cuff us and shut up our 'freedom of speech' rights that's suppose to be secured under our constitution.
Even that is in jeopardy. We could lose all our rights before this present madman leaves office.
Then we have to deal with, an insane criminal mad woman or a man who has no experience with government affairs.
What a hell of a country we have become. The only dream left is a wet one....
Well at least we can reboot then :-)
