According to The Matrix, they had to trap everyone in a simulation that mirrored real life - as opposed to a perfect digital utopia - because when they tried the latter for Matrix 1.0, the collective minds of humanity rejected it. That does seem like an appropriate punchline to the cosmic joke that is consciousness, and if you look around at the simulations we build for ourselves to get lost in, you can kind of see their point. Our digital playgrounds tend to feature more threat, drudgery and capitalism than we might expect of paradise, but heck if we don't crave those kill-you-over-and-over bosses, 0.5% drop rates on loot and delicious microtransactions. Oh, those tasty tasty crates. Anyway. Come listen to us date ourselves as we discuss what life could be like if it followed the same rules and logic as videogames.
