When I was a wee kid, I thought that scene from the Matrix where Morpehus explains that humans destroyed the whole damn planet just to maybe slow down the machines was stupid.

I mean if you block the sun, we're all going to fucking die, why would you do something that stupid?

Yeah, well, the last few years has shown that actually at least half the people on the planet would be pro-kill-everything, even if that includes themselves.

So really, this take isn't remotely shocking anymore.
