What is the Matrix?

Like many of us when we start having notions of the truth, we wonder what is the Matrix? What is this system of things surrounding us all about? Is reality what we think its? But little we know we are about to enter a journey to the unknown, to be headed to the very bowels of the beast that stomps on us since times beyond memory (this courtesy of the system of course).
Well like the great Morpheus said to the initiated Neo, it is Control. A control that goes beyond anything we know, a control of your mind, of your personality, of your feelings, of your dormant spirit and of your soul. We the people under submission in this vile and despicable system are nothing more than blind folk headed to our own destruction thanks to the guidance of those who take us by the hands through the destruction superhighway. I mention blind folk because we swallow every word, every thought, every concept given to us. We eventually forget to live with a purpose, we all follow the same plan, and if you don't want that plan you got plenty of options to destroy yourself with. All of this because we don't search for the truth, we don't investigate we are so comfortable in our own little world that we simply never wonder in that, and if we do the system reacts violently to disrupt that precious moment of clarity. We don't go beyond the things presented to us, we only stay at the surface.
As George Orwell presented in his magnificent book 1984, the system controls even our past, what we led to believe as history. History is rewritten constantly and facts dangerous to the emancipation of those under submission is sent to the "memory hole". But thankfully the system is not almighty and perfect and there is always stranded pieces of information belonging to a previous era and structure hence its difficulty to understand with today's way of thought. That would be called in computer jargon "incompatible", and we see that in many things like the Mayan Codecs, or the Egyptian Pyramids to mention the few, not to mention the ancient world and their vast knowledge, wisdom and sciences far more advanced yet not driven by the will of commodity, free market, and all of our modern "civilized" values. This is the perpetuation of the concept presented in this masterpiece 1984 by George Orwell, which I regard as an x-ray of this system:
"Those who control the past, control the future; Those who control the future, control the present; Those who control the present, control the past."
That said, we see that this system is meant to rewrite itself constantly to its convenience, now kids are learning that Pluto is a dwarf planet and that there are 8 planets and 3 or 4 dwarf planets. The evidence is there, and there are uncountable number of valuable things that have been lost to reinforce our ignorance, to be kept in captivity through lies and rewarded by the wages of the task master's whip. Even what we think as the truth is a lie cause it has been given to from the very same ones that deceives us, those who deceive are the tyrants who control us, and through control they manipulate us in the abuses and excesses we say day by day plunging our very souls to certain destruction.
