It turns out that people are always friendly to you instead of angry. what do you think? It's all too good to be true. Once you have the idea that none of this is true, you will want to prove yourself more and more. In the end, either you really prove all this is false, or you are crazy. "Chaos" is originally a basic concept of the existence of this universe, and everything will eventually move towards chaos. A system that is always orderly is doomed not to last long.
The plot requires that some methods cannot be applied. Police officer Smith said that the matrix world of previous generations was painless, but human beings died in large numbers. Because in human genes, it is necessary to bear pain and stimulation, so that society can be stable. Children like to drink milk. Slowly, they like sweet and delicious soda. When they grow up, they like to smoke, drink and eat spicy food. Some people like to drink bitter coffee. These things are very painful at first, but when you get older, you won't feel anything when you drink soda. This is caused by human genes. The matrix designer didn't understand it at first, but later he did, so the designed matrix is the world of ordinary human beings, otherwise people will completely perish.
The plot requires that some methods cannot be applied. In fact, it is easy to keep human beings from mutiny, as long as they constantly stimulate the exciting areas of the brain and let human beings indulge in endless happiness. If you don't understand, you can imagine an America where everyone takes drugs. What does it matter to paralyze these humans with drugs as long as they don't die? Others mentioned frontal lobectomy, which can also be achieved by turning everyone into a vegetarian. I remember someone mentioned a hypothesis before, which seems to be said by a beery up owner, that is, the mechanical city does not turn human beings into batteries, but needs human beings to help them do some irrational thinking, so we can't let human beings lose their thinking ability and eventually become so complicated. The Wachowski brothers say that turning humans into batteries is just for the convenience of the audience. But this idea is not in line with the film setting, so it is just a family statement.
The methodology of screenwriters and coders is very different. The methodology of code farmers is to solve problems. Good farmers are good at solving problems. But the methodology of angel screenwriter is to create problems first, and then solve the problems created by himself. A good screenwriter is good at creating and solving problems. It's the split personality between angels and demons. Therefore, the screenwriter desperately tries to find trouble for the protagonist with his left hand and desperately tries to find a way out for the protagonist with his right hand. This is the pleasure enjoyed by the audience. All the worries, pains, anger and joy in it are carefully designed by the screenwriter. Of course, many writers are also full of misdeeds and then full of loopholes.
Great screenwriters are not perfect, and there are still bugs in some places. The biggest cause of death for screenwriters is talking too much. Therefore, "The Matrix" can only be full of mistakes, and the screenwriter can advance the plot. Otherwise, the writer will be miserable. Think about this picture. Once you write a rich background, the ghost will save the protagonist and lie flat. Martell in the left hand, an old popsicle in the right hand, watching the scenery and playing mobile phone, how nice. As for the hero, soak in the jar. Who cares? The play is over.
People probably still have to get satisfaction from social relations. Simple material enjoyment may satisfy all people in a period of time, or some people in all time, but it is impossible to satisfy all people in all time. People probably still have to get satisfaction from social relations. The guy who eats steak in the movie looks like a high-powered upper-class person. The competition of social status is purely involution, and there is no way to create increment. The only way to break the game is to directly eliminate competition and create a copy of The Matrix for everyone, so that everyone can be an emperor.
This scheme first needs a high level of artificial intelligence to simulate the subject that is the same as a real person for each emperor. This may not be difficult to achieve. The real difficulty lies in the computing resources consumed by 6 billion (maybe more) matrix copies. To do this, you may need to turn the whole solar system into a supercomputer. If the machine has this technical level, it should not want to use humans as batteries.
