[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Uh, if we take the Architect's rants at face value, then success of The One would be *defined* as the destruction of Zion yet the survival of the Matrix, from which 23 new people would be plucked to found a new Zion. Losing the few thousands of people in Zion during each reset would be no great loss for a multi-billion humankind, and would in no way endanger its survival. If The One failed to destroy Zion and reset the Matrix, though, then the people in the Matrix would apparently die, and THAT would mean end of mankind. Now, we don't have to believe the Architect. Even Neo is dubious about the concept that the Machines would build the Matrix so that all humans might die, since that would harm the Machines, too. We can also choose to disbelieve Morpheus who says the Machines depend on humans, though. The story about humans being necessary as sources of energy is rather hokey - couldn't the Machines just build a really tall tower that goes through the clouds, and tap into solar energy? They could also use radioactives, which won't run out any time soon if the total power consumption is as low as the total electric output of human bodies. If Morpheus is wrong (he was in about every other respect!), then Neo's antics when meeting the Architect might not be crucial to mankind's survival at all. The Architect could just be playing silly games. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
