I would rather live a lie.  Going out into the real world would be suicide, and I'm not going to die to uphold some retarded honor.
But what about being a man?!!

I'm still a man, I'm just a man in a vat of protein.

I'm certainly not going to commit suicide over it.(Because that's what it is.  That planet is not habitable by humans.)

Humans always overcome.

Of course, I put the (almost) highest stake on my honor.

The robots couldn't fix it, and they had reached technological singularity.

Humans who had spent their entire lives in a vat would not be able to handle it.

Apparently they can, because they've been pulling poor saps out of the thing for centuries probably.

Than again, Cypher couldn't handle it apparently, and he betrayed everyone to go back.

Than again, he was also a giant dick.

They wouldn't be able to rebuild society though.

One possibility often ignored is also keeping the real bodies in the vats, but giving the possibility to control android bodies in addition to just virtual avatars.

So says Armok, God of blood.
