Chapter 845: The First Step 245
Every time I think that I have no free will at all, I feel inexplicable.
The paradox is, if everything is a certainty, then why do you want to tell others, and why do you want to get praise from others?
This feeling is like a fixed program, completely predetermined, as long as you follow the flow of life to this point, then others will appear this kind of praise or denigration. There are no real people, everyone is just a program.
So why bother trying to gain the approval of others?
Yuan Changwen vaguely felt this absurdity, as if he had been doing something in his life that he didn't know what to call at all.
Just like an NPC in the game, when I poke an NPC's trigger point, the NPC reacts accordingly. The only difference is that the NPCs in the game are very thin, while the people in reality are very complex.
Even, the same trigger point can lead to completely different reactions. However, if a game is realistic, the NPCs in it will still behave like this. And in this well-planned dream, if you are not even as good as the NPCs in the game, what else can you talk about elaborate planning?
Because the characters are realistic, do you always treat these people and things as real?
The funny thing is, how do I know that the characters are realistic? Just because I've lived here since I grew up, I claim that the characters are realistic? Is that justified? Isn't this belief wishful thinking? What is the difference between it and those heavenly beliefs?
Let's say there's a game that's been developed quite well, and it's impossible to tell whether it's real or fake in a legendary real-life virtual game.
Well, there is a person who has lived in virtual games since childhood. Every time he appears in the real world, he does so through the virtual game's game warehouse. In other words, in a virtual game, you can enter the game warehouse and you can enter the real world.
For a person who has lived in a virtual game since childhood, how can he distinguish whether he is in a virtual game or in reality? Or rather, he must think that the virtual game is his reality, and what we call reality is just his virtual game.
Because he grew up in virtual games, and every time he entered the real world, he did so through the game warehouse in the virtual game, so for him, reality is a virtual game.
Just like every time we enter a virtual game through a real-life game warehouse, no matter how realistic the virtual game is, we will know that it is just a game. Because I entered the virtual game through the game warehouse, I can't change it even if it's real, it's just a game.
All irrationalities can be dealt with with the game settings.
That's a great idea, and I'm going to use it in my next book, if I live to that point.
So, what is there about the NPCs set in this kind of game that deserves my attention and interaction? Not only them, but the character of Yuan Changwen is also an NPC, saying fixed words and thinking about fixed things.
So, what's so interesting about the interaction between several NPCs?
What do I think when a programmed NPC says, "Is this world real?" and what else can I do but be weird and ridiculous?
Yuan Changwen vaguely felt this, but it was not very obvious yet, and the looming absurdity and weirdness made his mind focus on this place.
So, what about the various behaviors that you do in order to gain the approval of the NPC? When the NPC praises, is it really praised? When the NPC slanders, is it really slander?
It happens this way because it can only happen this way.
So, what should I be happy about? When the whole world recognizes me and everyone starts praising me, what am I happy about? Maybe there will be a sense of unreal absurdity because of the common behavior of all human beings in the world.
After all, as a living real world, how can everything be as it should be, and if the game is to be full-bodied, there must be a variety of characters with different attributes.
However, once people are seen as NPCs, those interactions and interactions will seem very weird and nonsense.
Who am I talking to? I'm not a real person myself, will the other person be a real person? I'm a fixed program and I don't know anything about it, will the other person be the same?
Other people's praise, other people's slander, these things are bound to happen like this. Whether it's noticeable or obscure, these are things that have been set for a long time.
I thought it was my own work, and I worked hard to achieve something. Or maybe it's your own fault that you accidentally messed up something. But this belief is completely unfounded affirmative, and all actions are fixed.
They applaud, not because they satisfied someone else's idea, not because they affirmed someone else's inner impulse, but because the whole thing can only happen like this. Their abuse, again, is not poking at the sore spot of others, but the whole thing can only happen like this.
Perhaps, it can be said that it is a set fixed program, and if you do it yourself, you can make others applaud, and if you do that, you can only let others insult. But there's a problem here, and that's that I'm free, as if I can think about it and look for the trigger point for the program to get people to applaud.
So, I can stand at the top and let others applaud me all the time.
This assumption can't be proved at all, how do I know that my thinking is free? right, I, the role of Yuan Changwen is not fundamentally different from other characters, everyone is a false existence.
Now think about it, those positive books, those chicken soup for the soul, those inspirational blood, those must-have for success, those cognitive upgrades, those negative energy, those complaints, those dark chicken soup, those extreme ...... What the hell is this?
Is it just an element that enriches the whole dream? The richer it is, the more real it becomes. But how did this idea itself come about? How do I know that the richer it is, the more real it is?
It's entirely because I treat the whole world as real, so all the standards are evaluated according to the requirements of reality. Whether a game is real or not depends on how rich and complex the game is, and how close it is to reality.
If a game can be very close to reality, then we can claim that the game is very realistic.
Shit!
I don't even see the ridiculousness of this now, what the hell.
If the world is all false, then I can't claim that "the game is real when it's close to reality." ”
So, what the hell am I doing? What are I doing with those people who are queuing up to buy books to become better themselves? What the hell are the wars in the world, the building of empires, the shortcomings of the parents of the big aunts?
After removing the time, it is even more inexplicable.
Why would my former self take it for granted?
