Many people before us asked those questions. The only logical conclusion is that Morpheus was wrong and that his fanaticism blinded him. Nobody in Zion seems to understand the Machines real motives or ultimate goal. Maybe the Zionist's "CopperTop" theory is somekind of deny mechanism. They don't want to admit a truth that could attack their sanity, so they invented a different reason for the Matrix to exist (keeping humans as battery). Could it be also a lie spread by the Zion Council to motivate the rebels to continue the fight?Strider119 wrote:Ive been saying this from the first matrix and maybe you guys have a better solution to the question .....
Why even make a matrix?
I mean the machines use humans to power thier shit. that's fine. But why connect them all together in a big program that lets them interact? I mean why not keep them seperate in a lil virtual world where they all have millions of dolars and bang models?
and lets take it a step further .... why even let the humans keep their brains? A human that is in a coma will still produce power. Give them all lobotomies at birth and you have no need for a matrix at all. you got a buncha people who cant think and just sit there makin energy and whatnot
Unless we mark that one as a big writer scientific error (it could happen ), we have to look for what sort of goals the AIs would need a couple of millions (billions?) active human brains connected in a common virtual reality based on a true human era:
- - The Machines enjoy keeping humans alive in a zoo;
- They need the brain network for a project or their everyday survival;
- They are forced to take care of Humanity;
- Nothing is real, nothing is important, there's a second Matrix that is emprisoning every humans and Machines alike in a sort of perverse game for the enjoyment of a third party.
