. The idea made famous by the movie "The Matrix" is philosophically concerned with the nature of reality
Made famous by Plato in Allegory of the cave.. 380 BCE.. the movie is just recycling an idea
We do live in a Matrix. I recommend Val Valerian books where The Wachowskis took a lot of the ideas. The movie is just another Allegory just like Platos book.
Funny thing you can extrapolate from the movie. When Neo wakes up and have all those tubes on him that suck energy to the machine, they are representing the invisible chains we have with the FIAT system. Neo feeds his energy to the machine. We, by debt, feed the machine (banks) with invisible tubes. But they are very much real, as we give our energy (work) to pay a perpetual debt that does not more than feed the machine.
In a way, the bitcoiners who see this, are freeing themselves from the FIAT enslavement just like Neo did with the machines..
