People say that the matrix is an allegory for life, but what is the implication of this? It is either that the world we are living in right now is not the real world and that we should seek an end to our existence in this world to begin a life in another more real world. Which sounds like Buddhism. Christianity with its heaven, or even nihilism.
The other possible implication would be that the matrix is a metaphor for humanity being plugged into technology like their phones and the Internet. That could potentially imply that any involvement in industrial society is involvement in the matrix, or more realistically that any government-sanctioned institutions are creating a matrix-like existence for many who do not realize they are in the world manufactured down to their very consent.
