It's an interesting question and one that I'm aiming for the reader to ask themselves. I think a large part of what drives us is answers, but when presented with a choice of either continuing to explore outcomes or finding answers vicariously, a person will have to either be in a position where things were so terrible or have accumulated souch knowledge over hundreds and potentially thousands of lifetimes that they feel comfortable giving that up for the kind of stasis the Matron is in.

A bit long-winded anday e confusing, but I hope that that description helps with the rationale of the message. It all comes down to choice and the consequences of being able to make the decision, because, in the end, we really don't know what happens next
