The Truman delusion you describe is a Grandiose delusion or Persecutory delusion that is centered around the persons perception of their own reality.
The fact that the OP is saying "We" rather than "I" shows that this is a theory and not a delusion.
If he/she were to say, "I am in a Truman like show and you are all actors or against me" that is a delusion.
Read the first post again as the theory is based upon references that have been noticed and asks a question, that is all.

By saying We the OP infers that they are also part of this conspiracy...

I've always sensed ever since watching that movie that our reality might be very similar, I think it opens something in the viewers... Not to remain content with their lives but explore, take risks and never be satisfied with other people's answers.
Quite interesting Jim Carrey was playing the main character, maybe playing that character gave him the boost to start asking questions, eventually he realized a greater truth of our existence:

Hmm. My inner Christian fundamentalist says that sounds a little too much like "new age" satanism. Aha! Jim Carrey is in on the Truman Show/Illuminati conspiracy!

I have said this before, if anything is "New age" it is christianity, many religions were here and existed along side christianity through the age of pisces, they will be here long after christianity has died out.
God consciousness has and always will be here.
