In theology, a neologism is a relatively new doctrine (for example, Transcendentalism). In this sense, a neologist is one who proposes a new interpretation of source material

Why is that? Is it because of how quickly people accept even the most bizzare things as reality when not told it is an illusion thus this sort of thing of quickly accepting illusions carries on in everyones daily lives to at least some extent?

As much as folks call skeptic on the Matrix or even the latest movie Lucy there are some pretty common themes - the best being that all is connected. Everything is pieces of pieces touching other pieces...or even emotions of emotions touching other emotions. Nothing happens without some repercussion...unless the pieces don't happen to touch. And if they don't - they're still there. Waiting. I'd like to think nothing happens or exists without a cause - because otherwise sentience and being just don't make any sense. And I'd like to think there is something better and more complete than this realm of being here because this wouldn't make any sense either. To not exist in some form is just not logical. Why would the universe make something to destroy it forever?

Of course it was...it's fiction. But we can't deny that every thing is made of something and that is everything. The 10% brain theory is bunk and a big dang stretch... BUT who's to say our electrical connections can't influence other matter if we only knew how to follow the connections and manipulate them?
Rupert Sheldrake has a theory of something he calls the Morphic Field which could be like your human wifi you speak of.

yeah think of the world as the internet and every brain has a wifi...
what happens when two wifis start synchronising by via emotions
you get telepathy
the brain is in incredible thing ... focus on the connections in the brain (pienial gland and back cortex) and turn the wifi on
many people would call that "enlightenment" or whatever...
but there are many factors including race to how much fluoride you ingest

Every plant, animal, thing, creature, element (wind,rain,earth,fire), human...so on so forth... that you encounter will have an impact on you as well as you on it. Think of it... Sort of like a Universal Ecosystem.
Every thing I do, say, touch, eat, smell, hear, feel... makes an impact, I "bend the universe or the force" and so do you.
This is the Matrix to me. We are and always have been connected.

Yes, and "feel" can mean internally. You can physically impact another person far away by thoughts alone. Of course this can be argued from countless angles but the fact remains that thinking of someone just before they call is NOT coincidence. Stare at someone across the room and they turn to meet your eye is NOT coincidence.
Yes, you can hack the Matrix.

what i got from that part your talking about is no matter what construct our consiousness occupies we still have the power to bend it
