Seriously, though. I never really understood why being in the matrix was so bad to begin with. You're living your life and interacting with other people just the same as you would have otherwise.
The machines were feeding off of humans somehow, but it was never really clear that it was hurting those humans in any way. Am I mistaken on ths point?
Functionally, it wouldn't be much of a difference. Besides, we have no idea whether or not we're already living in some very large, very consistent illusion
