One of the very first long-form articles I wrote back in 2012! How to escape the matrix… in this life! It ain’t just a movie. It’s about life, work, passion and people.

Some of my views have changed somewhat, but the gist of the message here stays.

Check it out!

Yo wassup guys,

Today I want to write about something that is very important. It’s about the big Matrix, that is life.

It’s also about how to escape the matrix so we can be happy as fuck!

When you hear about the Matrix, everyone’s like, “Oh that movie starring Keanu Reeves.”

Or to go a little deeper, the Matrix is the stimulated reality that humans are in. The Matrix hides the truth from humanity, allowing them to live a convincing, simulated life while machines grow and harvest people to use as an ongoing energy source.

Read that shit again:

“hides the truth from humanity, allowing them to live a convincing, simulated life”

Does that sound real or can you relate to that sentence in anyway? If you can’t, then yo, you probably are in the Matrix.

It’s time now, to learn how to escape the matrix!
