You're here because you know something. What you know
you can't explain -- but you feel it. You've felt it your
entire life; that there's something wrong with the world;
you don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter
in your mind, driving you mad.
That you are a slave Neo, like everyone else, you
were born into bondage; born into a prison that you cannot
smell or taste or touch; a prison for your mind.
Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You
have to experience it for yourself.
Extreme, but not much different than our modern system of
corporate government and capitalistic socialism.
Why will blue pill people fight to protect a Matrix that
enslaves them? It's all they know. And all their toys,
castles, comforts and consumables will be gone without the
Matrix. Their whole illusionary existence will evaporate,
leaving them naked and alone.
How deep does the rabbit hole go? Near the end of the
movie, the Matrix's agent Smith acclaims the virtues of the
Matrix to the captive red pill people's leader Morpheus:
“Have you ever stood and stared at it? Marveled at is
beauty; its genius? Billions of people, just living out
their lives -- oblivious.”
