Ah yes, because it's AMAZING to be working a shitty office job forever.

[(Anonymous)]

Did you see how they lived in the real world? Yeah, keep me in the simulation.

[(Anonymous)]

Enjoy being a janitor forever, cleaning toilets that you don't need to, then.

[(Anonymous)]

As opposed to living in a factory eating grey mush and trying not to die.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay then you can stay as the machine battery that gets used up.

[(Anonymous)]

But, in my brain I live a full life. So I don't give a fuck.

[(Anonymous)]

Will it be a full life? Or will you die in some dead-end job you were miserable in? Most people don't find cleaning public restrooms fulfilling, after all. Same with mining or maid work--not because they're less than, but because they're treated like shit or the spaces are treated horribly. Would that really be a happy, full life?

[(Anonymous)]

da

I honestly love working janitor, so chill as long as your management and coworkers are good. So idk. I guess philosophically it doesn't matter if the toilets are real as long as the job is chill...? I see the premise as more of a framework for telling the story and exploring various ideas, anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

I would 100% rather clean for a living than try to live in a toxic wasteland, eating grey sludge, and needing to constantly dodge robot murder machines for the rest of my life.

[(Anonymous)]

No, you'd just be a battery for a few years until you died from being drained.

[(Anonymous)]

oof this is awkwardly classist in the same way that moms who insist you must go to uni or else you'll grow up to be a, clutches pearls, sanitation worker

[(Anonymous)]

I mean they're the one insisting the world in the Matrix was "perfect and peaceful." My point is it wasn't, and someone would get stuck unhappy and with shitty jobs.

[(Anonymous)]

...that doesn't really explain anything, unless you believe there is something inherently terrible and disreputable and dissatisfying about being a janitor as opposed to other things. like, you chose that occupation to point to as "low and demeaning" for a reason when nobody asked you to lol

[(Anonymous)]

It's more, they seem to think they'll get some super awesome life. Most people don't enjoy cleaning up public restrooms. It's not about being demeaned, it's about how people treat said public spaces and leave them horrific messes for the workers to miserably clean. My point is, "You will likely live in a miserable as fuck job you hate, so IDK how either is necessarily better."

[(Anonymous)]

most people don't enjoy their jobs, jobs are done for money and if people wanted to them they wouldn't have to have financial incentives lol. i'm just saying, if you had said "statistically your life wouldn't be great" instead of "have fun being a janitor forever" it wouldn't have sounded like you're shitting on janitors, you know?

[(Anonymous)]

Janitor is a weird choice to hate on because so many of the coworkers I met when I was working as one found their job low stress, peaceful and satisfying. And like the above anon said jobs are normally somewhat tedious, janitor isn't an exception though it's definitely not easy for everyone. It can definitely be annoying when people trash the bathroom but you get kind of zen about it. Got me in shape too.

[(Anonymous)]

anon above

yeah like, nobody goes "well have fun being a independently wealthy hobby enjoyer forever" in the same tone because derision is implied in the sentence and that would make no sense to say. anon just doesn't want to admit what they accidentally sounded like, it seems...

[(Anonymous)]

Can you show me where the person said it would be a perfect and peaceful life?

[(Anonymous)]

OP didn't say "perfect and peaceful," but they *did* say "world peace and happiness," which is where ayrt is getting the idea from.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm pretty sure someone cleaned the toilets in the real world too.

[(Anonymous)]

If this was a simulation, maybe in the real world I wouldn't have been born disabled.

[(Anonymous)]

Cool. I'm disabled, too.

You'll still be a used up battery who's likely doing a miserable dead-end job in the Matrix, so maybe don't act like it was some wonderful paradise.

[(Anonymous)]

That is not what this secret is about. It says in the movie that the robots initially tried making a simulation that was better than the real world circa 2000, and the simulation we see in the movie is NOT that.

[(Anonymous)]

That is exactly what this is. They're whining that people "broke it" because humans understandably understood the world isn't perfect and, lo and behold, the simulation was fake to keep them compliant so they could be used up as batteries. OP wants to be a battery in a fakey paradise where nothing bad happens ever because they seem to think that isn't too good to be true.

[(Anonymous)]

The OP might be referring to the first simulation mentioned by Smith, which was a utopia, but because it was "too" perfect, people rebelled against it.
