Power on.
Static.
Tune to receive:

Channel 42
-Who decides what content you see?
The creators, or our algocratic overlords?
It's getting more difficult to figure history out,
To sort the events, the details, the fact from fiction
We lap so much of it up,
What we're been raised on
is hard to shrug, we're malleable.
What's this life?-

Network instability

Connection lost.
. . . . . . .
The matrix has you
. . . . . . .
Connection established.

Channel ∞
-What is life?
If you had to choose-
switch
-between knowledge-
flickers
-and a good time,-
glitching
-Which would you choose?-
red pill vs. blue pill
-Would it be right?-
receive and
-"Remember,
All I'm offering is the truth.
Nothing more."-
administer.

Input/output carrier signal disruption.
Static. Zero.
Wake up.
