This is my worst fear. Everything we know is just an infinite labyrinth of illusions and mirrors. It controls every aspect of physical reality. Nobody has ever escaped. They are tricked by layers upon layers of deception and always eventually land right back here, even the old gnostic scholars who devoted their lives to it. The way out is permanently shrouded if there even is one. It's over. Again, again, again, again, again forever.
