those who accept their programming get to lead deadened, surface lives, enslaved to a semblance of reality. they are captives, safe on the surface, as long as they are unaware of their captivity. perhaps it is the unthinking acquiescence, the blindness to one's imprisonment, that is the most effective way for human beings to remain captive. people who do not know that they are capitive will not resist their bondage.
but those who awaken to their captivity threaten the hum of the matrix.
