The fourth witness, Paul Gude, had a shocking encounter with his uncle who thought that if we were all in the Matrix, he would just start killing people without consequences. Orion also spent years basically part-timing at Chili’s and playing video games on a couch, pondering why his life had no meaning or momentum. The devaluing of human life by these true believers is insane. There’s also Jesse Orion, a man who believes that when celebrities act out of sorts, they are being controlled by their players like avatars in a game.

Their “first-hand accounts” are essentially conspiracy theories backed by coincidences that don’t connect when looked at on a microscopic level. At the center of this documentary is Ascher’s “witnesses” a gaggle of guys hiding behind jewel-texted avatars. Rodney Ascher delves into the world of conspiracy theorists with his documentary A Glitch In The Matrix, which focuses on the belief that we are all in the Matrix.Įverything we see, feel, experience, all of our surroundings, perhaps even the people of the world, is artificial.
