This is basically my feeling on the Matrix thing. based, of course, on the first and only Matrix movie, as I REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE OTHER TWO EVEN EXIST!! Except, of course, to rant about them.
That said, if you think about it, was 'freedom' really worth it all?
"The damage to the planet is irreparable, but, hey, we're free to have half-naked raves at the core of the planet in our glorious Zion: The Last Free Human City On(IN!) Earth!! That makes it ALL BETTER!"
The funny thing is, everyone was so outraged at having their bodies USED like that, yet, I just bet that, within the Matrix's not-quite-idealized late 20th century setting, there's still drugs, alcohol, sexual disease and all manner of self abuse, but, hey We draw the LINE at being allowed to basically still live out our lives relatively SAFE in our own heads while powering someone else's Grand Venture… you know what that's called where I come from? HAVING A FUCKING JOB! BEING A PARENT! HAVING A RELATIONSHIP!! It's called LIFE!
What's the difference whether you're in a pod or parked on a fucking couch with an X-Box controller stapled to your palm?!!
… woo. Sorry about that. I don't know where that came from.
