To clarify, I personally define the Matrix as a set of beliefs, cultural norms, attitudes, and conditioned states which are pervasive throughout society.
These are initially created under an economic rationale which offer products and services to citizens.
To promote these goods and services various themes, ideas, and ideologies are promoted to establish compliance and persuade individuals to partake in consumptive patterns.
Along the way, this information becomes embedded within a society, creating cultural norms and distracting individuals and society from the truth.
As individuals living in a society, we become subservient to authority and start conforming to certain illogical cultural constructs.
Eventually, like a fish swimming in the ocean, we are unaware of the water that surrounds us, we become completely unaware of the Matrix…
