DO NOT Escape the Matrix

Want to escape The Matrix? Cool, but who's gonna keep society running while you 'find yourself'? Here's why we desperately need you to stay put in your cubicle—and why I'm so thankful you're still delivering my packages. 😜

Ah, the Matrix! The very thing everyone blames nowadays for their problems. Thinking of escaping it? Stop right there, Neo!

Stay in The Matrix! I Need Someone to Wash my Car.

Who's going to wash my car, deliver my food, and make sure my Amazon packages arrive on time, if you go off chasing your entrepreneurial dreams? Exactly!

 

Let's face it: The world runs on you, the 9-to-5 warriors. While the hustle bros are busy posting motivational quotes at 2 A.M., you're keeping society afloat. You're the backbone, the unsung heroes, the ones who keep my Wi-Fi working, so I can sit here writing this article. For that, I salute you... from my ergonomic desk chair.

People on YouTube love to tell you:

"Don't get a job! Escape the Matrix!"

 

You know who says that? The same folks selling you a $2,000 course called "How to Escape The Matrix." Spoiler alert: Their advice is just another layer of the Matrix! Why would you listen to someone who makes more money telling you not to work, than actually, you know, working?

If everyone became a millionaire entrepreneur, who's going to man the Starbucks? Imagine a world where your latte is self-served. Absolute chaos! We need you right where you are. Plus, if you do leave, those Matrix gurus selling you their expensive "freedom courses" are gonna starve. You wouldn't want that on your conscience, would you?

Most people don't want to grind 16 hours a day to make a business work. And that's cool! If you want balance—friends, family, Netflix and chill—a steady job is perfect. Make decent money, buy that dream car, live an average life, but still have time for the gym or catching a romantic sunset with your significant other.

The people screaming Escape the Matrix! the loudest? They're selling fear, not freedom. They calling you a 'brokie' just to trigger you. So, don't let anyone guilt-trip you for working a job.

Society is like a pyramid scheme. It needs a strong foundation of 9-to-5 folks like you, to hold up the people at the top. So, stay in the Matrix. Be proud of your role. Because, when you think about it... without you, I'd have to learn how to mow my own lawn. And that's just not happening! 😎

 

If you'd rather listen to this article, I've got you covered:

 

So yeah, don't escape the Matrix. Be a good little boy—or gal—and do your part. To all my 9-to-5 legends out there: Thank you for making life cushy for the rest of us. Breaking free from the Matrix isn't for everyone. Nor it should. Thanks for reading. Now, get back to work!
