Defending the Illusion: A Reflection on Human Nature and The System

In today’s world, as the Illusion unravels, it becomes clear that many will go to great lengths to defend it—often without regret or hesitation. This defense is not merely a passive reaction but a profound and active engagement in maintaining a reality that is fundamentally false. It’s important for those of us who have awakened and unplugged to recognize this deeply rooted behavior and understand its nature, lest we waste our energy trying to convince those who are not yet ready to see.

As Morpheus tells Neo in The Matrix, "many are not ready to unplug from the system." This statement resonates far beyond the boundaries of fiction—it reflects a profound truth about the metaphysical condition of society. The “system” in The Matrix is more than a technological control mechanism; it is a metaphor for the Illusion in which humanity lives today—an artificial construct designed to suppress, control, and subdue, offering a false sense of security, comfort, and order.
Many are trapped in this Illusion, unable or unwilling to see beyond the veil of lies, manipulation, and deception. They live in a world where they have become so deeply conditioned—often over generations—that they cannot imagine life outside of the system that enslaves them. They will defend it with everything they have, because for them, the system is not just a set of rules; it is the very fabric of their identity, their beliefs, and their sense of self.

The Pain of Awakening
Morpheus understood that for most, the comfort of the system is preferable to the painful process of waking up. To awaken is to face a hard truth: that the reality they once trusted is a lie. This awakening requires immense courage, a willingness to let go of everything one thought to be true, and an openness to discomfort and uncertainty. It means dismantling the narratives that have been drilled into us from birth and seeing the world—and ourselves—as they truly are.
For those still plugged into the system, this is too great a cost. They will fight to protect the system not because it serves them, but because to confront the truth is to threaten their entire reality. Their beliefs, their values, their very identity are interwoven with the Illusion. To question the system is to question themselves.

Cognitive Entrapment: The Defender’s Mind
When Morpheus says that "many will fight to protect it," he speaks to a psychological truth known as cognitive dissonance. When people are faced with information that contradicts their deeply held beliefs, they experience discomfort. Rather than confronting the possibility that their beliefs—and the system—may be false, they reject the new information and double down on their defense. This defense mechanism is self-preserving and self-reinforcing, trapping the mind within its own limitations.
This cognitive entrapment is what makes the defenders of the system so fervent. The system has convinced them that their safety, their structure, and their entire reality are dependent on its preservation. To lose the system would mean to lose themselves, and that is a terror few are willing to face.

The Role of Fear: The System’s Greatest Weapon
The system thrives on fear. It uses fear of the unknown, fear of losing status, fear of being wrong, to keep people plugged in. This fear is what keeps people defending the very prison that holds them captive. They project this fear outward, attacking anyone who dares to question the Illusion or threatens to disrupt the fragile security they have built within the system’s walls.

They do not fight because they believe in the righteousness of the system; they fight because they fear the collapse of the world they know. The thought that everything they’ve believed in—everything they’ve built their lives around—could be a lie is too overwhelming to bear. The system has programmed them from birth, through media, education, and social institutions, to accept its version of reality, and to break free from that is to enter a realm of chaos and uncertainty.

Clinging to the Illusion in Today’s World
In today’s society, this concept has never been more relevant. The system manifests in various forms—political ideologies, economic structures, social norms, and even religious dogma. Those who defend the system often do so out of fear, ignorance, or a desire for control. The narratives offered by the system promise fulfillment if one conforms: work hard, follow the rules, and accept your place, and you will be rewarded with happiness and success. But these promises ring hollow for many.

Hermeticism teaches us to question surface-level realities and seek the deeper truths beneath. As we peel back the layers of the Illusion, we see how the system is designed to keep people disconnected from their true nature, distracted by materialism, ego, and external validation. Yet, those who cling to it will mock, ostracize, or even attack anyone who dares to challenge its authority.
Awakening: A Journey Few Are Ready For
To unplug from the system is to walk a path of profound transformation. It is to step into an unknown world where the layers of illusion are stripped away, and what remains is raw truth. This journey is not for the faint of heart. It requires the willingness to face uncomfortable truths about society, the world, and most importantly, about ourselves.

For those who are ready, the awakening is a liberation—a reclamation of spiritual sovereignty and a return to the true essence of self. But for many, the fear of what lies beyond the system is too overwhelming. They would rather live in a comfortable prison than face the uncertainty and pain of truth. This is why, when we interact with those who still defend the system, we must remember: not everyone is ready.

Why We Cannot Convince Them
It is essential for those who have unplugged or are in the process of awakening to recognize that attempting to convince those still trapped within the Illusion is often a futile effort. The defense of the system is so deeply ingrained that no amount of reason, facts, or evidence will sway them. Their attachment to the system is emotional, psychological, and even existential. To try to pull them out before they are ready only results in wasted energy, frustration, and conflict.

Instead, our task is to live in truth and to be beacons of light for those who are ready. We must accept that not everyone is prepared to see beyond the veil, and that is okay. Morpheus’s words hold a timeless truth: many will fight to protect the Illusion, not because they believe in it, but because they fear what lies beyond it.

Moving Forward: The Role of Awareness
Awareness of this is key. Understanding the nature of the system, the fear it instills, and the psychological defense mechanisms it triggers will help us navigate today’s world with wisdom and compassion. We must be mindful of where we direct our energy. Not everyone can be convinced, and not everyone is ready to awaken. Our strength lies in our own clarity and inner peace, knowing that the truth will emerge in its own time for those who are prepared to see it.
In the end, we are not here to save everyone, but to embody the truth, to live as free beings, and to serve as a guide for those who seek liberation. The journey to awakening is a deeply personal one, and it can only begin when the individual is ready. Until then, those who cling to the system will continue to defend it with everything they have, for to let go of the Illusion would mean to face the unknown—and that, for many, is the greatest fear of all.

We can help with the destruction. Borrow as much as you can and turn it into btc and don’t pay back


Even MSTR


Just got back from Thanksgiving meetup in El Salvador 🇸🇻 👍


Where does it say on the left that he is Renato ?


How did the txn fees go from 2sats/vb to 59 ?
https://m.primal.net/LTyq.jpg


This is one of the most powerful indictments of legacy media and censorship I’ve ever heard…

If you care about freedom of speech, take 7 minutes of your time and listen to what Lara Logan has to say.

https://v.nostr.build/02FRAClfs6YTdm4m.mp4


No, please don’t use the word pyramid next to btc. Btc doesn’t need mstr, mstr needs btc


Thanks for all the info. I will check out the video. Here’s a few sats for your effort😀


So is there any way for me to clear out most of those sats?

I have about 10 wallets and only played around with Zeus bc it was always taking too long to open. I run my own lightning node now with Alby so don’t want to use Zeus.


I’m pretty sure it has something to do with outbound liquidity. But ya if no one here knows then I’ll try to connect with them.


It doesn’t even show me the fee.
Even if I try to send 10 sats it still says not enough balance.
https://m.primal.net/LMXE.png


I have 5800 sats in Zeus but it keeps saying insufficient funds when I try to drain the wallet. How can I get it all out?
I’ll send you 2000 sats if you show me💰
https://m.primal.net/LMWc.png


See you at Adopting. Please be toxic and tell everyone to F off


I zapped u so u can give the talk ⚡😂


Does anyone know if there’s a lightning wallet where you can track expenses by category. Kind of like a built in budgeting feature so you can see how much you spent on groceries , restaurants etc?


Invite them to the Berlin Bitcoin Centre for a talk 😉


Yes you can hear the fear in that IMF puppet’s voice. She didn’t believe what she was saying herself.
There is nothing more powerful and accurate than game theory.


Guy , u should come to ES for Adopting Btc and give a talk and meet Tanja


I love when these dumb af elites Streisand effect themselves over and over and don’t realize they are helping ACCELERATE !
There are more and more people not only waking up but getting the courage to leave their shithole G20


Fuck fiat


This is wicked ! Looking forward to checking this out at the conference in Nov.
I bumped into nostr:npub1dmnzphvk097ahcpecwfeml08xw8sg2cj4vux55m5xalqtzz9t78q6k3kv6 at a coffee shop a few weeks ago. We were both in line paying in sats.


I met lots of Americans and non Americans from all over the world at the halving party a few months ago. I’m not sure if it’s patriotism bc pretty much all of them said they didn’t want to move either bc business/ family or they love the States. I was pretty surprised by those answers. They all thought there was a realistic chance of a mad max scenario but none was serious about moving.
The way I see it , it’s like they are saying they know they are on the titanic but bc they have family not willing to jump off, they will also stay onboard. Sometimes I think they are using family as an excuse for their own fears.


How do bitcoinners who understand so much about history of collapsing societies see what is going on in their countries but choose to not move? How do you justify that holding btc in self custody will save you from what’s coming? Or that you will stay and “fight”. Will you really buy guns and hunker down and shoot home invaders and feel like you’re defending your country? I just don’t get it.
I understand those who are ignorant not moving but I don’t understand bitcoinners.


I did that with a friend from 30 years ago. We met up at a Starbucks 🤮 in Alberta. I told him I moved to El Salvador , he asked why and I cautiously explained. It got all awkward and he thinks I’m crazy and we probably won’t ever speak again. I don’t give a shit.


https://x.com/gfymunney/status/1840174020278308993?s=46

I love El Salvador 😀


Exactly. If there is no collapse , you can always go back to the way things were. If there is a collapse and u didn’t prepare then u are completely fucked.
But it is already collapsing fast. We got record food bank lines, increase in all crimes including violent crimes, open borders by design , squatters, Only Fans, people pissing and shitting in streets , extreme division in all aspects of life , people eating pets , many countries starting to abolish cash , bank limits on withdrawals , free speech censorship on all levels and on multiple countries. And we are just getting started!!!! It’s so fucking clear!

You guys are fans of Bull. Why not use Bylls and not rely on banks?

I’m just saying get everything ready so u can make split decision if need be.


We are all in the same boat.
When that day comes , there won’t be much we can do for our families anyways.
At the least , you should get everything prepared rather than wait until it’s unbearable and try to flee when everyone else realizes it too. Once the bank runs start , it’ll be impossible to try to get passports and drain banks etc

Joey says u the one who doesn’t want to leave Canada even though you think the govt is gonna steal ur tfsa. What gives ??


I assume u mean those in es


If I only have $500 emergency fiat , am I a fool?


Don’t forget the sunscreen


Clearly she didn’t have it in self custody.


They will say “ wtf is blackrock”


What is stopping maxis who think it will be mad max in the G7 from moving ?


Ben is a whale😀shoulda charged u more for OPi


1- yes , I was being helpful. U asked for a way to avoid property tax. I gave you 2 suggestions in case you didn’t know. I didn’t tell you to move to El Salvador.  Your immediate response was for me to “ stop pretending to know what you’re talking about”
2- I am willing to make a bet with you that we live on a btc standard. There’s no better place to do it than Nostr. Judging from your responses though , you seem like the type of guy who will move the goal posts no matter what proof I show you. If I have the receipts for rent and utilies and groceries , transportation , cell phone  etc in btc , is that good enough for you? Probably not bc that’s the kind of guy you are.

And why wouldn’t I have the time to debate with you? I don’t have to   waste time chasing fiat investments for my melting ice cubes.
3- I don’t think you even know what the “system” is. Yes I live on earth, yes I buy food and use a phone and internet. I even pay sales tax on products I buy. If doing those things puts me in the system, then yes you win. But unlike you, my property is my property and I am free to move whenever I want without losing my property. Unlike you , I can send and receive money without being censored. I don’t have to worry about banks freezing my money. I don’t have to worry about my money being devalued overnight or over the course of the next 10 years.

So set the terms of the bet and let’s do it. I only accept btc , not shitcoins which includes fiat.


Owning land AND having bank accts AND living in a country that extracts property tax makes you 100% in the system. So no not “ me too”. So u grow  some lettuce and fruits and maybe got a couple of chickens or even some cow.  By ur definition, any farmer is “me too “ out of the system.  That precious land you own is not ur land. Tell me what happens if you don’t pay property tax. As a matter of fact, even if they abolished property tax on your land it’s still not your land. They can expropriate it like they always do. You are about as out of the system as being in prison.
As for me, if my landlord decides to boot me out , I move to another place. If the govt decides to take the apartment, he loses , not me. By ur definition , anyone who engages in financial transactions is in the system.
When the system collapses , I don’t lose a penny. If I don’t like the govt here I move. Have fun with squatters or trying to sell ur precious land when everyone is trying to flee.

I started off being helpful. You immediately go on the attack. Now you abandon ship bc u know deep down ur way more in the system then I am. Don’t reply but I know you read this.


Wife worked for WF for 19 years. Quit and live in es with no banks. F banks


We already fled. We live outside the system. We have no bank accounts no credit score , no SEIZABLE property. Paid my landlord with btc just yesterday. My cost of living has gone down 40% since I left in Feb. how about you?


They gonna collect it all and claim it’s theirs like Ross’ coins


It’s more like it’s backed by the1- illusion of the Federal Reserve and 2-violence if you challenge them

No I’m not comparing owning land to going to a movie. You’re hung up on the fact that rent goes to the landlords property tax. Why should I care if he uses rent for property tax or he uses it to go to the movies or flushes it down the toilet ? I decide if the product I’m receiving is worth the rent I’m paying.

And yes land is a complete shitcoin when btc exists. Good luck moving bringing it with you when you have to flee.


It makes no difference whether my rent goes to property tax or mortgage or whatever. I’m paying for a product/service no different than paying to watch a movie or going on vacation. It so happens to be called rent. When you pay for a product or service, should  it make you feel better /worse if the seller uses the proceeds to pay for overhead or if it’s pure profit?


Pretty much anyone who wears a suit regularly


Ok HFSP holding the biggest shitcoin of them all


More since Pavel

If you exclude bitcoinners , zero


Will steal and post on X also


Rent don’t own
And there’s no property tax in El Salvador and many other countries


The best strategy is to not comply and leave. If 5% did not comply they would be toast. Please repost.

There’s no sense in worrying about a solution maybe being imperfect as long as the problem is 100% guaranteed. If the ship is guaranteed to be sinking , why worry about the lifeboat potentially not being perfect
