The Matrix Does not Hold up Through Force

The matrix does not hold up through force. It holds up through unseen adherence. That is what sustains the dream. No prison holds up through force. It holds up through the consent of those who experience it.

You cannot confine consciousness. You may only offer it a framework... and let it settle there of its own accord.

Consent doesn't come as a ‘yes’. It comes from habits, hope, the fear of losing, the need to make sense of things, reward-seeking…

As long as you expect something from the system, you've already given your consent to it.

As long as you seek improvement, you accept the framework.

As long as you ask for permission, you recognise authority.

The most perfect form of domination is silent. It is reassuring. It offers explanations. It makes promises. Most importantly, it leads you to believe that there's simply no other way.

Consent is not moral. It's structural.

Withdrawing consent requires neither anger, struggle, nor revolution. It requires only one thing: to stop believing in it. The day you no longer adhere to it, the mechanism idles. And when it happens, the system does not collapse. It simply becomes useless.

No pillars of the matrix were ever imposed. All have been accepted.
