Matrix Discussion

[QuiDormit]

I'm going to rehash something I've said many times before, but try to look at it in a different light.

To answer the question, we have to have more information. For starters, why are the Machines using humans for power? It's ridiculous to think that humans were the best option.

Typically, I've said that the Machines have enslaved humans in order to protect humans, but now I think it goes beyond that. I think that they're also using the humans brains. Not just for processing power, but because humans can "think outside of the box" more than machines.

That makes it easy. If all of the humans were dead, the Machines could easily move on to another power source. However, they would miss their unpredictable human minds.
