      What I think is pretty rare is for people to have work that's actually the best part of their lives, or what drives them. Typically, it's a means to an end; you do it for the money. Neo also has this late night social life which, notably, ALSO doesn't make him happy.

      And also, just as a point of order? most people cannot really afford to do, either due to commute times, the demands of work, or the simple expense. The Glamorous Night Life often held up as an aspiration is, itself, not available to most people, it's just very visible.

      Fair - but I think that's the point too, isn't it? Whether you want the white collar 9-5 OR the glamorous night life scene, Neo's ability to have those things don't make him happy.

      sure I'm just saying it's part of the whole "you can have it all!" illusion of a lot of modern media.

      Replying to @loudpenitent @mssilverstein and

      I don't want it all. The entire premise of this thread is i don't think any of us can have it all barring extreme luck, and that the best shot at *something* for me is integrating with the System Again, I chased my dreams and my dreams punched me in the face so

      Replying to @BootlegGirl @mssilverstein and

      oh sure, I'm just saying the System isn't going to reward you either. It has no vested interest in doing so! Bluntly, Cypher had absolutely no reason to believe he wasn't going to be killed and/or mind-wiped utterly the second he was no longer of use.

      The System is dispassionate and only cares about keeping The Matrix up and running smoothly, and part of Cypher's deal was having his memories of the true nature of reality wiped. Plugging him back in costs the System nothing & is marginally better than killing him.

      Yeah my headcanon was always that while Cypher has no way to enforce his end of the bargain - his bargain, by its very nature, involves surrendering all power to the Machines - and may not even actually care as long as he gets his revenge first, the Machines do intend to keep it

      I mean, why not keep it You couldn't keep rewriting the Matrix for every single redpill who wants to come back but hey it's a moral victory and one more component for the power plant right Petty cruelty is for humans

      Would "rewriting the matrix" even be that hard? Wipe his memory from when he first learned about the Matrix to the present, wheel him into a hospital, wake him up and tell him that he inherited a pile of money from a rich relative while he was in a coma.

      They don't mind wiping *his* mind, I think, but it's said that on this deep aesthetic/spiritual level they hate changing stuff inside the Matrix and "breaking the rules" unless they have to Even though the effort it takes to do so is usually trivial

          In a perverse way this is why the world of the Matrix is filled with holes and bad patches, because their ethos of non-interference is too strong for them to put the work in to make it seamless

          Like there's a lot of reasons the deal with Agents having to possess humans to exist is deeply ethically troubling and creates more problems for the Masquerade than just not doing that But *adding more bodies to the Matrix* is this big taboo for them

          Is lying to Cypher about a long-lost dead relative and adding some numbers to his bank account that different from manufacturing news reports from parts of the world that aren't simulated in the Matrix, though?
