Agent Smith: I’d like to share a revelation during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you’re not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure.
i agreed with this when i watched the movie but something about it always bothered me. i get it now. it’s because a virus does what it does because of its nature. humans choose to live like we do. not at the beginning but we know enough now to at least try to make an effort to stop, and most people choose not to. i guess you could make the same argument for invasive species other than us. but we do seem to fit the definition more than that of a virus.
It’s in our nature to destroy ourselves. It’s in our nature to kill ourselves. It’s in our nature to kill each other. It’s in our nature to kill, kill, kill.

It was a bold move to make the bad guys win in The Matrix
