Steven Yates -- The Real Matrix, Part 2: "We come to realize that most Americans are indeed plugged into a 'matrix' -- created not by a malevolent sci-fi machine, of course, but by controls over their education and the information that reaches them. They are 'plugged in' as children, attending first public schools and then colleges and universities. They 'learn' to trust government information, the academic-bureaucratic complex, and the mainstream news media. This creates the 'real matrix.' A few, like Neo in The Matrix, may suspect that something is wrong. But fear of being branded paranoid usually ensures their silence. If they write down their suspicions and publish them, they are ignored. There is, after all, enormous loyalty to the fabricated world. "
