What if reality isn’t quite what it claims to be?

In this episode, Zach and Jessica step into The Matrix—not the movie, but the question behind it. Are we living in a simulated reality, a cleverly filtered perception, or just a very convincing story we’ve all agreed to believe? They explore the science, philosophy, and psychology that fuel simulation theory, along with why this idea keeps resurfacing across cultures and eras.

This episode also marks a first for the show: first guest! They’re joined by psychic Mark Allan from the Pyramid of Enlightenment in Indianapolis, host of the class “Understanding The Matrix.” Together, they unpack how ancient wisdom, modern thought experiments, and everyday perception collide when you start asking uncomfortable questions about what’s real.

This isn’t about red pills or apocalyptic conclusions. It’s about questioning assumptions, understanding how reality is constructed in the mind, and why asking “What is real?” might be the most practical question of all.

No fear. No fan fiction. Just disciplined curiosity in a universe that keeps refusing to explain itself.
