If we really were to be in the Matrix that's fine, but could I maybe ask for some better living conditions? Maybe be able to actually afford things without constant worry and anxiety over whether I can pay the rent.

They tried a perfect society but humanity rejected it as fake.

At this point, you could just tell them it's fake and get a decent amount of the population on board. Permanent utopia in perfect VR? Sign me the fuck up.
