A Glitch in the Matrix - Philip K. Dick's Speech in Metz Clip

Follow A Glitch in the Matrix

What if we are living in a simulation, and the world as we know it is not real? To tackle this mind-bending idea, acclaimed filmmaker Rodney Ascher (ROOM 237, THE NIGHTMARE) uses a noted speech from Philip K. Dick to dive down the rabbit hole of science, philosophy, and conspiracy theory. Leaving no stone unturned in exploring the unprovable, the film uses contemporary cultural touchstones like THE MATRIX, interviews with real people shrouded in digital avatars, and a wide array of voices, expert and amateur alike. If simulation theory is not science fiction but fact, and life is a video game being played by some unknowable entity, then who are we, really? A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX attempts to find out.

This man knew about things we all think don't "exist". Hence why he said "it doesn't exist so I can say it".

[Gamer-xkpo]

You can clearly see from his energy to body language he experienced something beyond this reality

[benjaminschiller]

Why would you take a perfectly good sound clip and add a crap soundtrack to it?

[scorpiogirlva]

This man is trying to deliver a message in any way he can.

[DogofWar]

I may not actually be typing this comment but i would like to say, I think therefore i may or may not be. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[RakeShuvoAndGuitars]

Why does his speech sound like a confession??

[zackedwards]

I just watched a glitch in the matrix on Hulu.

The best way to describe how infeel is like ya knkw when people go to church and claim to have seen the light, like the ones who really actually believe what they are saying.

That. Like they kinda had the idea and was believing in it and wasn't 100% sure then something changes and they knew for a fact that they weren't alone. That other people have believed the exact same thing.

And I've never seen the matrix. I swear. I mean I know about it. Never really understood what was going on I mean I knew but I didn't ya knkw.

My mind is in shock I think. Whilst watching the documentary I felt like someone had access to my internal thoughts. I mean like every detail. It all just makes so much sense. I believe I'm the infinite dimension theory so thus one isn't far fetched sounding to me at all.

I turned 31 today. I want to be happy. I don't want to be in pain. Have remorse, especially if none of it is real.
Anyone wanna talk about this?

Anyone at all.

I am not a NPC I am Real. I think

[plixplop]

All this buildup and you cut the video mid-sentence when he starts to explain his point

[laserus]

That's a terrible edit. You didn't even play the few sentences after that articulating his message. Are you an ( ! )

[KenjiStarwolf]

whats the name of the song playing in the background?

[djmazzafakka]

what's the background music? it's not on the soundtrack

[pigeonhero]

If the tower is everywhere and the knight of deliverance no proof against its magic, what else?

[Reewnat]

These types of sentiments are interesting and provocative, but in the end, they are based on nothing substantive ... mainly based on a metaphysical position someone decides to hold and not necessarily for any reason other than they want to or accepted some notion crept into their head. These are philosophical discussions that predated him (radical skepticism), which other philosophers have addressed/debated against such notions. Obviously, like here, people can choose to believe in such things as is their prerogative, but there is much more proof and logical arguments on the side of that we are living in reality and not in the matrix or a glass jar.

[andresocegueda]

😢 how many of you are Mandela effect experiences that believe that the original universe has been destroyed

[Atoms]

My titles is if you think your life is bad you should see some of the others

[marstonbicks]

In my dreams I am someone's Linda Fox

[THEYCANTSTOPME]

Plot twist: a literal supercomputer has been giving world governments plans for hundreds of years, so yeah this world is all computer simulated

[ENIGMA-cw]

They want you to believe none of it is real. Life is not a simulation, they want you to think that because if you believe its a similation you are less likely to fight it
