The problem inherently is if you don't have that advantage, which I would argue is more people than not on here
agreed that most people on steemit don't have influence, and this mirrors the Matrix. However, this takes place within the game, and seems to come from a place where success is measured in terms of influence and wealth. It can be if one chooses to play that way! Sure TM may be coming from a position of 'comfort' and 'security' (also illusory symptoms of the scarcity mindset IMO), but I don't think that has much bearing on what he is saying about the presence of Abundance.
The scarcity mentality will only leave when scarcity leaves
The case is the opposite from my perspective. Abundance actually is, it is the illusory scarcity mentality that obscures sight of it when we are immersed in worry. Again, this may sound like bullshit at first level of inspection, given the way appearances suggest things may be/are (poverty, starvation, fatcats, wars etc), fair enough! I think it is to be investigated deeply for oneself, there is no conclusive evidence. I don't think higher stuff works like that (is there any conclusive evidence that unconditional LOVE exists? for example). The Matrix is the Matrix for a reason :D...If as you may be saying, reality can follow perception (So how many shared perspectives need to exist in order for that to become what the reality is?), do we then not have any control over our own perceptions?....such that we can actually begin to control or at least, influence, our own realit(ies)y? And is there anything that exists independent/outside of our perception? ...hmm that's an old old philosophical enquiry, and I doubt if words/thoughts/left-brain can do it justice.
