The problem with office jobs these days (software engineer here) is that they involve doing pointless tasks for unnecessary projects that need not exist in the first place, creating dark patterns just to lock in customers, and implementing the subscription model wherever possible. It’s disgusting, really. I personally hate subscriptions, I see them as inferior.

When I was a kid, play meant hanging out with friends, staying up late at night exploring crazy ideas listening to some heavy metal, or just biking around town with no real purpose, just exploring. We’d find something interesting and interact with it, or for example we’d make our own hockey goals on the street (in the courtyard of a neighbourhood where I lived, the size of a basketball pitch. Instead of skates, we used inline skates, and instead of pucks, we had plastic balls. I remember making my own shin guards since I was the goalkeeper. I couldn’t afford real ones, and even if I could, I wouldn’t have wanted to slide around on tarmac with them. Only our imagination could hinder us.

Growing up in Sweden, I had an amazing childhood filled with play and adventure. Now, I sit at my desk working from home, feeling like my soul is slowly dying. But…it’s an incredibly comfy job.

I love how this video is outside in nature

When you just survive your mind does not allow itself to be creative. Stop thinking your just surviving,  realize your living now.

Switching to humility/honest YouTube has been the best decision I’ve made in years.

I am 58 yrs old now, and its wonderful to see so many young people refusing to be wage slaves, and do what society has said is "normal"  stay free and happy.  Live an abundant life with the necessities.  Dont waste your time wanting stuff.  Enjoy what you have.

My goal this year is to escape the matrix.

Money itself is the matrix.

Exactly! You are spending your life and money on a system, and on maintaining it. Falsely believing it is the right thing to do and that it makes you happy. We are being formatted to think like this since early childhood...

Thanks for the video. I escaped the "matrix" a few years ago. When looking at it from the outside it seems even more crazy than when you are in it and just chugging along. We humans are amazing at adapting to the environment we are put in.

Your video brought tears to my eyes as i listened to your testimony on my way to work as a daycare teacher. I cried because it spoke to how ive been feeling for a while now. Now that the veil has been lifted i find myself having to take deep breaths and put on a smile before I clock in. I used to get so much joy working with kids but now it breaks my heart to look around and see how we neglect our kids just to keep up. I see kids struggle everyday because of this. We have infant babies being left in our care for 11 hours a day. 😟😥 Im working on a plan to get out but i also want to do something about this for the sake of humanity. I do believe i was meant to experience this and speak about it. ❤

The exact moment that you discover your own divine nature as a creator is the exact moment that you are free. YOU ARE THE MATRIX

Growing your own food, disconnecting at least temporarily from social media and turning your attention to working on your relationships with those closest to you.  Creating a variety of fun ways to spend time with family as well as being alone.  Really making the most out of nature

Oh I'm so proud of you. This inspires me. I don't fit the 9-5, it doesn't sit right and so I'm trying to figure out how to change it! Thanks for the advice!

Don't let anyone discourage you. You can build the life of your dreams with time!

Coming from a 30 year old lad who’s been listing to content like this for a decade, you’re super refreshing. Thanks

I'm 67 years old and have only worked 9-5 for about 4-5 years. I just wasn't cut out for it, even with two college degrees and I've used my skills (carpenter, handyman) and wits to survive and help raise a daughter. It's been tough and sometimes scary but it's been a fully lived life where most of the time has been my own. I'm even comfortable financially now, but the matrix is just crushing so many young people today and life is a lot harder today than it was when I was young.

I shed tears while simply listening to you.

I hate when people point out how we should be grateful for the first world stuff and not complain. One of my favorite shows "Six feet under" has a character named Claire that has a perfect response to this. "Just because I wasn't dropped in a dumpster, I'm not allowed to want something more?" Just recently I have become SO unhappy with working 9-5 5 days a week. I am close to 40 and no matter how much I make it never seems to be enough to keep up with everything, my husband works as well and together we make it pretty well and we can afford to do things and live relatively modestly compared to a lot of people. I sit at a desk all day and deal with stressful situations and always feel like I am undervalued, I work from home and were it not for that it would be completely unbearable and even more soul sucking. I don't see a way out for us right now because of some financial things we have going on, but I hope to be able to start making an escape sometime next year, if things go smoothly.

Honestly, this is the most clear and well-defined video I've watched about the matrix system. You managed to show in a simple way what the system consists of and how the 9-5 work routine is a part of it. I, too, escaped the 9-5 matrix a long time ago, started my own small business, and gained good momentum for about 3 years. However, last year my system collapsed, and now I'm being pushed back into the 9-5 matrix. The reality that I need money to live has become even more apparent with the closing of my business and the mounting tax debts. That's why I started my YouTube channel as my escape plan. It's still very new, but I truly believe it will be my way out. I think supporting each other is so important to break free from this system. As a new subscriber, I'm with you now. Sending my love :)

I'd like to create a world where it's all fun and play, and the worst we'd have to put up with is being burned out from all that play. I often imagine myself scouting for other planets in other star systems, setting up camp in one, and building a fun house.
