Well imagine if it got everyone stuck in some sort of delayed gratification treadmill that lasted their whole lives without any benefit to them. Just endless suffering with a carefully crafted and personalized vision of future eternal bliss for the promise of obedience. The few remaining humans being kept around for biodiversity purposes being subject to this.
