It’s amazing how many thoughts and ideas in my head you’ve arranged into a coherent article! You’re absolutely right that when you break out of the system, “you’re in the desert where other principalities and systems exist” - and this is where I believe the case for the necessity of God lies.
I read recently that arguing for the existence of God is not so much important as arguing for the necessity of God. There is always a central principal commanding everything (the Greeks with Zeus). This really opened my eyes.
Granted as I told my friend and writer Penelope Ryder, understanding that is easy; living it out is something I'm still trying to reconcile. Thanks for your comment btw :)
Essentially Truman Show is about the quest for Self Sovereignty and the choices we make that lead us to deeper self-knowledge. The opposite being, "blissful ignorance." Most will choose the latter. But it's still a choice. The former brings with it the burden of responsibility but as we bitcoiners say "once seen, it can never be unseen. " Unlike similar analogous narratives like 1984 for instance, Truman Show is hopeful. And hope, is the weapon of choice on every heroes journey.

I never really thought of it that way. It makes you wonder what role the human ego has to play in it as well.
I find the more I seek to understand, the more I find myself living it out. Minimizing distraction is key. I hope God continues to open our eyes :)
