“Do I Live in a Synthetic Reality?” Do-It-Yourself Home Test

“The Matrix is the world that has been pulled over your eyes, to blind you from the truth.”
- Morpheus to Neo, The Matrix
It is the mission of DeepCapture to show you, dear reader, that the financial world you inhabit, a world vouched-for by actor-spokesmen in dulcet Midwestern tones, a world inhabited by honest brokers looking after your money interacting through self-regulating exchanges overseen by diligent regulators, themselves overseen by elected politicians looking out for their constituents, themselves challenged by an adversarial free press maintaining a critical posture towards it all, is in fact a “world that has been pulled over your eyes, to blind you from the truth.” It doesn’t exist: it is a socially constructed reality designed to keep you complacent as you feed your savings to the machine.
And I can prove it. For that matter, so can you, right now, from your computer. To explain how, I must continue with reference to The Matrix.
There is a point in the movie where Neo and his comrades are walking up a staircase. Neo glimpses a black cat that suddenly reappears:
Neo : Whoa, déjà vu.
Everyone spins around to look at him.
Trinity : What did you just say?
Neo : Nothing, uh, just had a little…déjà vu.
Trinity : What did you see?
Cypher : What happened?
Neo (puzzled by their interest in this): A black cat went past us…and then another that looked just like it.
Trinity : How much like it, was it the same cat?
Neo : *shrugs* Might have been, I’m not sure.
Morpheus : Switch, Apoc!
Neo : What is it?
Trinity : A déjà vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.
In this essay I will explain a glitch that is available for you to verify right now, from your computer. I do not know how long it will remain after I write this, but it has existed for many months, and cannot be fixed without causing other problems to those seeking to keep you in the Matrix. I must take you through three steps, and then you will be able to test this theory from your computer, and see a glitch that should not exist.
