We are destined for a meta world, but are we also destined to rebel against it?

I am huge fan of the matrix and fan of the idea that no matter how comfortable a simulation is, humans will always rebel against it. But now seeing that reality inching closer and closer I wonder: Will we rebel against a cyber world or beg for it? With humans in such a state of depression in reality I wonder if given the option to rebel against the system, will humans choice reality over fiction?

I don't see a realistic scenario where people would be kept in a matrix like simulation without informed consent.

In my opinion, the matrix-ish simulation will either exist as entertainment or something to keep generation ship passengers from going mad or to keep them from forgetting how to function on a planet.

There’s always friction. Life is always changing. There is no clear line between reality and fiction.

If you ask a matrix chatbot whose mission is to blur that line further.
