Tangential: this could have been a better premise for The Matrix, rather than the battery thing. It would make a great story, if it hasn’t been written already.

In a sense babies do this, i.e. they are cute and smile to engage parents and other adults so they engage with them, which increases rate of learning.
- Jack000 7y agoabout the battery thing: https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/19817/was-executive-meddling-the-cause-of-humans-as-batteries-in-the-matrix https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/19817/was-executiv... the original idea makes much more sense in the context of the story, it's basically my head-canon now.
- Jun8 7y agoOh boy, Matrix theories do run deep. My favorite is the Matrix in a Matrix theory (https://matrix.fandom.com/wiki/Matrix_in_a_Matrix_theory https://matrix.fandom.com/wiki/Matrix_in_a_Matrix_theory), I really wish they would pursue this in Matrix 4 (just announced). It's matrices all the way up!
