After the short exchange between the three schools, Professor Luke heard Huo Yaowen's question about "brain in a vat" from Anna's mouth, and his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly found Huo Yaowen, wanting to hear the complete content from his mouth.

And Zhang Chengyi, Mou Zongsan, Tang Junyi and others who rushed to hear the news, although they didn't know much about the computer described in Huo Yaowen's mouth, they basically understood it on the whole.

“…… That's probably it, it was originally the idea for my next science fiction book. Huo Yaowen took a big sip of coffee, and finally soothed the dryness of his throat.

Zhang Chengyi said: "Yaowen, you seem to be similar to Zhuang Zhou Mengdie?"

Mu Zongsan nodded on the side and said: "The former Zhuang Zhou Dream is a butterfly, a lifelike butterfly, and he is self-proclaimed and ambitious, but he doesn't know Zhou Ye." Oh Ran Jue, then Qi Qi Ran Zhou also. I don't know that the dream of Zhou is a butterfly, and the dream of a butterfly is a week and a butterfly, and Zhou and a butterfly must be separated. This is called materialization. ”

Professor Luke still knows a little about Zhuang Zhoumengdie, a well-known classic story of China, but he doesn't know a lot, so he is not as detailed as Mou Zongsan and others.

But after listening to Huo Yaowen's complete content, Professor Luke's heart was very happy, this question is similar to Descartes's I think, therefore I am, but this question is more similar to Descartes's demon hypothesis.

They are all about self-consciousness and the world of cognition.

However, unlike Descartes' Descartes' Hypothesis of Thinking and Demons, the hypothesis of the brain in a jar in Huo Yaowen's mouth is based on some existing scientific theories.

The brain nervous system and brain wave signals have been proposed by brain doctors more than ten years ago and have been confirmed, so the brain in a vat depicted by Huo Yaowen is not a simple ideological problem, but involves some scientific theories.

Professor Luke squinted slightly and said, "Evan, I think you can write this brain in a jar with a paper, and I will submit it to the organizers of this World Philosophy Congress later." ”

At each philosophical conference, there will be wonderful philosophical papers that will be collected by the organizer and published in a similar form of benchmarking to guide the exchange content of the participants.

Huo Yaowen heard Professor Luke say this, and glanced at Teacher Zhang.

"Look at what, you write it out quickly, and give it to us to help you revise it later. Zhang Chengyi glared at him, how could such a good opportunity be let go like this.

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Yes." ”

It only took one day for Huo Yaowen to write out the brain in the jar in the form of a paper in the room, and at the same time added his own answer to this question and some unclear questions.

After being reviewed and revised by Professor Luke, Zhang Chengyi, Mou Zongsan and others, Professor Luke submitted it to the organizers of the Vienna Philosophical Conference.

.......

On the fifth day of the conference, the French philosopher François Lyotard publicly read the paper to more than 2,000 philosophy lovers and philosophers from all over the world in the Golden Hall of Vienna.

For a time, it aroused heated discussions and exchanges among more than 2,000 people present, and many people had countless whimsical ideas about the hypothesis of this brain in a jar.

The author of the Brain in a Vat paper, Evan Hoe, also spread rapidly among people at the World Congress of Philosophy.

The idea of "brain in a jar" was raised by Huo Yaowen more than ten years in advance, and after the publicity and promotion of the organizers of the Philosophy Conference, it quickly became the most concerned and discussed topic of this World Philosophy Congress, together with the "Tram Problem" and "The Tram Experiment of Pushing Down the Fat Man".

The journalists from all over the world, who had been invited to cover the philosophical conference, quickly sent the information back to their countries in the form of telegrams after noticing that people were talking about these two ideological topics.

The British Philosopher's Magazine, with the topic "The Choice You Can Never Make", published the tram problem along with the trolley experiment that toppled the fat man.

It quickly attracted the attention and discussion of British philosophy lovers.

As the initiator of this topic, Philippa Ford was invited by the philosophy departments of many well-known universities such as Oxford University and the University of London to give a lecture at the school.

Compared with the ethical topics that the British are keen to discuss, the American Journal of Philosophy of Science with the title of "Future Technology Manipulates the Human Brain", once released, quickly invited science fiction and philosophy lovers across the United States to explore whether future technology and human beings can truly distinguish between the real and the unreal.

However, when these two topics made waves at the World Congress of Philosophy in Vienna, causing widespread exchanges and debates,

The choice of "saving his girlfriend or saving his mother", which Huo Yaowen proposed in the restaurant, was a headache in China, and after the word of mouth of some customers and waiters present at the time, it attracted more people's discussion and communication than "brain in a cylinder" and "tram problem".

Whether it is a brain in a cylinder or a tram problem, for ordinary people, it is a relatively distant, or inconsequential topic to discuss.

On the other hand, the exploration of ideology, morality and human nature of "saving girlfriend or mother" can arouse fierce discussions among the general public.

Whether it is the Eastern culture or the Western culture, which is far from the same, even if the way of expression is different, family affection and love will always be the eternal emotions of human beings.

Therefore, the topic of "saving girlfriend or mother" has been discussed by many people, and even Fromis, an expert in American psychology, also used this topic to discuss the nature of human nature in the magazine, and even proposed that "your partner is always more important than your parents, because your partner is an indispensable person to support your future life." ”

But this remark has been opposed by many ordinary people in the United States, in the current era of American hippies, people are more open to their partners for sex than in the previous decade, more casual, three days to change girlfriends for these hippies, is a very common and casual thing, and mothers, can never be changed, can never be replaced.

Huo Yaowen didn't know about other countries discussing these topics at this time, and he was still struggling with whether to agree to the organizer to hold a small symposium on the hot topic of "brain in a jar".

When they received this invitation, Zhang Chengyi and Professor Luke hoped that Huo Yaowen would go, but he knew that he had a few pounds and taels, although the brain in the jar was proposed by him, and he had seen many discussions on this topic in later generations, but he had never participated in any symposium.

It's like playing with a big knife in front of Guan Gong, and it's just a big sword, but if the big knife becomes a long sword, it's embarrassing!
