Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization. I live and die by my Matrix Metering on my Mikon D200. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking. You'd need to pry that dead camera from my rigimortis racked hands.
