Did you know that we (and all life) are unknowingly imprisoned? That your perception of Reality has little to do with the truth? In these ways, our existence is like the virtual reality in the movie, The Matrix.
The differences are more overwhelming, including that our Real Matrix emerged through abiogenesis and evolution processes without intention nor direction (i.e., no sentient machines), and that there is no escape through taking a Red Pill.
Welcome to Our Real Matrix proves all this using accepted science taken to its logical conclusion. It then explores the consequences of this truth and the possible paths for how and why to live this life, including the philosophies of Stoicism, Buddhism, and Existentialism. Finally, it introduces a community, the Purplepills Society, that has been established to continue the scientific and philosophical discussion.

Tom Arant is not a scientist, which is a strength rather than a weakness in writing this book. Popular science is a subject he has always read avidly in, and this book is a natural extension of that interest. He has a background working in economics, systems analysis, and transformation consulting for major manufacturing companies. He applies the deep analysis, writing, and presentation skills he developed to solve clients' data and process challenges to the existential topic he explores here.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Did you know that we (and all life) are unknowingly enslaved? Welcome to Our Real Matrix proves it by using accepted science taken to its logical conclusion.The Real Matrix is both the biological processes for all organisms and the biomass resulting from those processes. It includes each living organism's (including each human's) individual, unique, and interrelated perception of, and response to, Reality, which resides internally in the organism. The result is a false appearance of Reality that is only an interpretation of the signals received by each organism's sensory receptors. Furthermore, the Real Matrix emerged and continues to emerge in a non-directional way through the processes of abiogenesis (emergence of life) and evolution. There are many similarities between the Real Matrix we exist within and the Matrix from the movie, including its ubiquity in our world coupled with our lack of awareness from within it. The differences are more overwhelming, including that the Real Matrix emerged in a non-directional/intentional way (i.e., no sentient machines) and that there is no escape (i.e., no red pill). After establishing this premise, the book explores its implications and what humans could potentially do with this revised view of our reality. Seller Inventory # 00085798953
