Whacked-Out New Yorker Writer Thinks We’re Living in the Matrix

RUSH: I have a piece today that I found in the New Yorker. When I started reading this I said, “This is very clever. This guy’s very clever.” I kept reading it and kept reading it, and I said, “Wait a minute. Does this guy actually maybe believe this?” Because he’s gone and got a bunch of sources and experts in clinical psychology and computer science and he’s making the case. And you know what it is? That things are so weird, there’s an actual line in this piece. I can’t utter the word, but it’s what Trump said in the NBC Access Hollywood video when he told Billy Bush what he actually grabbed. He said: You just don’t say that and get elected president of the United States. It just doesn’t happen.

And he cites a couple other things, Hillary was supposed to win, everybody knew it, Patriots were supposed to lose in the second half, everybody knew it, and then the Oscar flap, this doesn’t happen. These kinds of things just don’t happen. So this guy’s theory is that we are in The Matrix. We are simply in a computer simulation being run by aliens (laughing) and that they’re getting bored and that they are programming us to do all kinds of inexplicable, weird things just to watch us react to the things that they make happen.

So I’m reading this thing, and his name is Adam Gopnik. I guarantee you that if I reported this to you as though he was dead serious the next thing he would do if he heard about it would be to react, “I was just joking, what do these people, don’t they see a joke?” And if I laugh about it and treat it as a joke, he might respond: “No, no, no, I meant it.” But we’ll link to this at RushLimbaugh.com, and you read it and see what you think. I’m telling you, folks, these people are so whacked out still. They still can’t believe what happened to ’em.

I would soooo pay some guys to very discretely float some magic and optical illusions around this clown.

This guy has seen the movie “Dark City” one time too often. The strangers are losing their grip and the light is breaking through. Shell Beach is just beyond the horizon.

(Also Trump won)

I might start dropping that randomly into comments I post here on FR.

[Mr. M.J.B.]

I told you to stop pinging me and FReep mailing me.

You are not wanted. Go away.

If you persist, I’ll ask a moderator to intervene.

I am not sure what religion you are talking about? Rush didn't mention any religion Perhaps you are in the wrong thread?

Religion is defined as what you do based on what you believe about God, Gods or some other ultimate reality. Believing that we are in a matrix or that we are a product of random changes over time are religions. There are more and more people in England who write "The Force" as their religion on surveys.
