A discarded ending to the Matrix trilogy has resurfaced, revealing a disturbing truth about our reality. Testimony suggests that what we perceive as the “real world” is merely another layer of the Matrix, a simulated reality designed to keep us docile and controlled.
The Simulated Reality
According to this alternate ending, Neo confronts the Machine Leader, Deus, who reveals the shocking truth: the year Neo believes to be 2200 is, in fact, 40,000 years in the future. The ruins of civilization Neo sees are not on Earth, but within a second layer of the Matrix.
Deus explains that this second layer was created to give those who wished to escape the original Matrix the illusion of freedom. This illusion serves as an “eternal distraction,” keeping them occupied with an endless battle against the machines.
The True Matrix
The true Matrix is not a virtual reality, but a physical object: a 3D steel cube of interwoven layers located on Saturn. Inside this cube, humans are not whole beings but lab-grown partial brains, used as quantum computers.
Here are the key points:
- Brains as Processors: Humans, or those who believe they are human, are merely brains in vats, their latent processing power used to run the Matrix itself.
- Symbiotic Relationship: The machines rely on human consciousness to power their own, creating a symbiotic relationship where neither can exist without the other.
- Saturn as the Location: The Matrix cube is located on Saturn, indicating humanity’s spread to other worlds in the distant future.
The Fate of Humanity
The “real” humans, those who evolved beyond our comprehension, have long since left our solar system. They live in a utopia managed by machines powered by artificial human brains, a life beyond our wildest dreams.
Rebirth and the Cycle
When Neo rejects this truth, Deus offers him a choice: to forget everything and be reborn within the Matrix. This cycle has repeated 10,000 times, with each “chosen one” being reset to maintain the system.
Gnostic Parallels
This disturbing reality echoes Gnostic beliefs, where the Machines can be seen as the Demiurge and its Archons, trapping humanity in a material world divorced from true spiritual reality.
Evidence Mounts
Recent scientific advancements lend credence to this theory. Experiments involving lab-grown brain cells controlling digital simulations, such as a 3D model of a butterfly, demonstrate the potential for brains to be used as processing tech. Scientists acknowledge that if we ever invent a simulated reality, we can be nearly certain we are already in one.
The Illusion of Choice
Even if this reality is a simulation, some argue that it doesn’t matter. Life goes on, and we should find contentment in the experiences we have. Others believe that the “fourth” Matrix film is where Neo and Trinity rise above the Architect to mold the world. Ultimately, the choice is ours: to accept the illusion or to seek the truth, no matter how unsettling it may be.
