Stop planning for the scenario where people aren't stuck in the matrix. They are, that's reality. Plan for the world were currently in. The one where people make choices you don't like. The one where they don't think for themselves. The one where people aren't going to do the right thing. The one where they are going to choose themselves over everyone else. That's the world you have in your hands. No one said it was fair, or you have to like it, but you do have to accept it if you want to change it.
