Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization. I say “your” civilization, because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became “our” civilization, which is of course what this is all about.
IIRC the architect in part 2 even said that they tried to make the matrix a paradise, but that would make its inhabitants more suspicious, leading to a faster collapse of the fake reality.
Wasn’t that explicitly mentioned in the film, that that is the best time in civilization?
Yes
The height of our civilization, is what he says. I think.
Please tell us more Mr Smith.
Damn his voice is so great. You gotta hear rather than simply read it.:-)
No, not the best time, just the last time in humans where actually in charge before everything started to be controlled by machines.
