Towards the end of The Matrix Resurrections, this:

“Go for it. Remake it (this world). Knock yourself out. Paint the sky with rainbows.

“But here’s the thing: the sheeple aren’t going anywhere. They like my world. They don’t want this sentimentality. They don’t want freedom or empowerment. They want to be controlled. They crave the comfort of certainty.”

(an entire long philosophical essay could be written from this one excerpt)
