Coding in the Matrix

My professional background is completely opposite of someone who would pursue coding. It wasn’t until my first smart-phone that I had regained a decade old and dormant sensation to sit in front of lines and lines of gibberish. For a decade it had been riddled by the distractions the general population usually tends to feel at ease with; baffled with nothing more than a misty haze within the concrete jungle.

As one enters, his/her view as in any field changes. Our eyes are opened to the conversations which are restricted to query words unknown until a link leads you completely off the grid. A place where one can easily be lost. And it is in this place where we find some manner of satisfaction, whether it be in the clutches of the film industry, porn, hacking, social media, you name it. It is in this place we find ourselves at home; until we open our eyes again.

As I clicked my way through the grid, getting each time deeper into the system baffled with distractions, we find a place we can feel at ease, as solitary as it may seem to the outsiders who focus on issues which concerns us all, it is a system that is hard to decipher. Or is it?

The system has a low low margin for error. And yet, we fool ourselves into believing everything will be alright. Possibly building our whole society around an assumption which could have been wrong in the first place. This idea isn’t new. It is one of the basic foundations behind science. A science which keeps on building towards a technological future where humanity is becoming a replaceable number. If you would look around and follow the news, if you were to compare this to literary history, if you were to open your eyes, perhaps you would be able to fall off from the grid. The box which has clouded our vision. Perhaps, you could decipher it all and build a better future, a better vision for humanity.

Perhaps I am wrong, but that is not a mistake I am willing to take.
