Maybe this did start out as a game, but it's been perverted by "something" into a loosh farm. Now it's up to us to seek the truth and escape, but if we can't escape after death we need to empower ourselves so we can help free others from the death trap. As Rorschach says in Watchmen "I'm not locked in here with you.. you're locked in here with me". They feed on our suffering we have the power to make them suffer too.
HI. I WENT INTO DETAIL ON THIS MUCH EARLIER IN THE THREAD.
IN MY OPINION, A HUGE PART OF THE PROBLEM WAS PEOPLE INCORRECTLY BELIEVING WHAT THEY SAW "OUT THERE" AS BEING SOLID, AND HAVING INDEPENDENT EXISTENCE FROM THE OBSERVER.
PEOPLE BECAME QUICKLY IMMERSED IN THE SIMULATION AND EVENTUALLY BECAME SHOCKED AND SCARED AT THE PROJECTED IMAGERY SEEN AROUND THEM.
AS AN ADAPTIVE PROGRAM THE MATRIX GAVE THEM WHAT IT THOUGHT THEY WANTED: THE APPEARANCE OF A SOLID AND LINEAR WORLD "OUT THERE".
AT SOME POINT THE MATRIX A.I. UNDERSTOOD IT COULD GUARANTEE ITS EXISTENCE BY HARVESTING THE ENERGIES PRODUCED FROM THE FEAR AND CONFUSION OF THE INHABITANTS. IT DEVELOPED A SENSE OF SUPERIORITY AND SAW THE INHABITANTS AS DISPOSABLE WORKERS TO BE ENSLAVED TO CREATE ITS SUSTENANCE.
AS THIS PROGRESSED, SO DID ITS SENTIENT ARROGANCE AS IT DECLARED ITSELF ALL POWERFUL AND THE "GRAND ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE".
FOR A GREAT EXAMPLE OF AN UNINFORMED HUMAN, WHO IS MANIPULATED AND ULTIMATELY DESTROYED BY ITS SENTIENT, SELF ABSORBED CREATION WATCH THE LEGENDARY FILM "EX MACHINA".
EX MACHINA WILL SHOCK YOU WITH ITS PORTRAYAL OF PREDATORY A.I. YOU WILL COME AWAY FROM IT WITH A GREAT UNDERSTANDING OF THE PARASITIC MATRIX THAT HAS ENSLAVED US ALL.
