In The Matrix by the Wachowski sisters we are introduced to a dark future where humanity is imprisoned physically and perceptually by a form of manipulative Artificial Intelligence.

And in our daily lives we also experience a limiting of our social perspective as we replace our interpersonal interactions with social media posts.

All three of these forms of imprisonment are virtually the same. Explain how this is true.If Neo could rescue humanity from Plato’s cave and the perceptual influence of social media, what would that rescue look like?

Are there any modern figures in reality that have acted as a Neo or a Plato, in recent years, liberating humanity from their self-imposed perceptual bondage? Explain your answer using terms used by Plato and the Wachowski sisters.
