The Matrix was a phenomenal movie not just because of the cool concept, but because of the memorable characters and the incredible way they shot the action scenes. Since it was such a memorable movie, not only has the term “red pilled’ taken on a greater meaning in our society, but you hear people talk a lot about being “caught in The Matrix.” Usually, it’s just used as a metaphor for being caught up in, “the system.” You know, the government or the shadowy forces allayed against us.

I like The Matrix metaphor and I think a lot of people are caught up in it, but it’s not quite like humans sleeping in tubes and being used as batteries from the movie or some kind of worldwide conspiracy to keep them from succeeding. However, you might be surprised at how similar the REAL MATRIX I’m going to describe is to those two concepts.

So, let’s go back to the movie. Not one of the classic scenes, but to what, at first at least, seems like a fairly forgettable scene.

It’s when Cypher decides to sell out.
