Sometimes I have far too much time to think about things on the way to work.
For example, in the Matrix universe, what functional reason would the machines have for plugging humans into a simulation (besides the obvious of being a plot device)? Wouldn't the power generation ability of humans be the same if they were in a vegetative state? It seems like the overhead of the simulation would not be worth the effort or even necessary for their purpose, not to mention the positive of not having to deal with the pesky and unruly humans in the simulation.
