Summary

“I Think. Therefore I Am”
For millennia people have pondered and questioned exactly what is reality. Is the world around us that we perceive everyday actually real? Or is it instead simply a trick, smoke and mirrors, a simulated reality to keep us fooled.
In this episode of Strange Matters we discuss the possibility that mankind may all be living in some type of Matrix program, or simulated reality. Sean and Eric present numerous ideas and theories describing how life as we know it may be a complete lie. Whether we are all simply computer programs living our lives unaware of our coded nature, at the mercy of endless multiple dimensions, or perhaps just the creation of some all powerful dreaming deity, there are countless ideas one could come up with to doubt their own existence.
So make the decision to take the blue pill and continue to live in blissful ignorance… Or to instead take the red pill, press play, and follow us down as we discover just how deep this rabbit hole can go.
