What does the Mouse Utopia, behavioral sinks and humanity have in common?

"Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization." — Agent Smith

I have been thinking about this a lot lately. For all the talk about the depopulation agenda the people who presume to rule us are supposedly adhering to, the numbers tell a very different story. The world population has more than doubled in the last 45 years. So if lowering the population is the goal then they have failed completely. I'm coming to the conclusion that any depop measures they implement are merely to manage it's rise to the breaking point when the behavioral sink begins. Then they just sit back and watch it collapse in on itself. The Universe 25 experiment showed the collapse happens very rapidly.
