Chapter 6 In the Post-Truth Era, Da Luo is in the General Trend

Ye Ang didn't say anything about the Wu Clan, after all, since Nuwa hadn't seen the so-called Wu Clan from the lower reaches of the Long River of Time, then this thing was a shadowless thing, and he said it at this time, but he was afraid that it would be even more difficult to explain.

"Yes, is that so?" Nuwa's hands unconsciously weaved the law, slightly in a trance. "So, in this case, the future we see is, in a sense, the future we want to see?"

"That's it!" Ye Ang nodded, "It's like the observer effect in quantum mechanics, when you observe, you actually show your role, and the future you see is a kind of future under your will." ”

"Remember what I told you about the so-called post-truth era?"

Nuwa nodded bitterly, as if she understood something.

Ye Ang breathed a sigh of relief, the so-called "post-truth" refers to some people for their own interests, ignoring objective facts, blindly catering to the emotions and psychology of the audience, using assertions, speculations, feelings and other expressions to strengthen and polarize a specific point of view, attack and smear opponents, or win eyeballs and support.

This is in his time, after most of the mainstream of human beings entered the Internet, due to the algorithm upgrade of the computer system, he was able to analyze the content of individual speeches, likes, and more readings, lock the general three views and extreme non-objective thoughts of a netizen, and then push the information and news that he is willing to spend time browsing to this netizen, or some extreme views and closed small circle topics.

In this way, some normal discussions that should be held in the online public sphere will also be turned bad due to implicit manipulation of public opinion. Netizens are more willing to rely on "tribal circles" to get information and share opinions than the high-ranking mainstream media.

However, because insiders often share highly similar values, most of the information they get on a daily basis is "positionally filtered", and the information that disagrees with them is gradually eliminated.

In order to stay in the "circle of friends", people do not dare to express different opinions. In other words, the post-truth era caused by the upgrading of the algorithm structure has amplified the role of social media as an "echo chamber" and "filter bubble".

Some people talk about a slightly extreme non-mainstream topic in the cyberspace, and there are often many followers, all of whom seem to be filled with righteous indignation and extremely agree.

At first glance, it seems that 99 percent of people support these views.

However, this is just because of the algorithm, which gathers these people with the same views and makes them cute and laugh at themselves, but whenever they think that they have become the mainstream of society because of this, and do not conduct scientific social investigations, they will often be slapped in the face by reality.

In general, in the post-truth era, the truth you see is not exactly the true truth, it is often the "truth" that you are willing to see, and the truth that you do not want to see has been filtered by algorithms.

Therefore, people in such a situation, if they do not take the initiative to break their cognitive barriers, constantly break through themselves, and continue to study deeply, they often become stubborn and extreme, and they are convinced of their extreme views, and they become more and more unable to extricate themselves with the passage of time.

And now, when Nuwa and Houtu are observing the future scene in the long river of time, there is also this situation of "the truth you see is only the truth you want to see".

The only difference is that in the post-truth era of the Internet, it is often the algorithms of the computer system and those with ulterior motives who deliberately cater to the guidance.

But for Nuwa and Houtu, it is their own reason, they are in the environment they have specially created, without the interference of other Da Luo Zun gods, then they are the most biased algorithms, those they are not optimistic about, in this case, will not appear in the future at all.

Because Da Luo, the "sky", is not optimistic about you, in this case, do you dare to have a future?

"What do you see?" Nuwa suddenly asked Ye Ang coldly.

Ye Ang was stunned for a moment, unlike Nuwa's Houtu, he looked at the lower reaches of the long river of time, and could see countless possibilities, including immortals and demons, gods and Buddhas, machines roaring, starships across the sky, civilizations shining, and nuclear bomb flashes.

He even noticed some of the obscure timelines of wizards chanting, mages alchemy, and warriors riding lizarddragons to fight evil gods.

Judging from the current situation alone, it seems that he has seen more possibilities than Nuwa and Houtu, and it is also more bizarre and comprehensive.

But at this time, Ye Ang was also a little unsure, did he fall into the trap of the "post-truth era"? What he saw seemed to be a future without the interference of other Da Luo at all, this kind of future was just an ideal situation, but with the various insights of his previous life, there were more fantasies.

He did see the battle of the lich, the rise of the human race, the three emperors and five emperors, the Xia, Shang and Zhou, the Great Tribulation of the Gods, and then the division of the princes, the east and west fortnights, the Spring and Autumn Warring States, the hundred schools of thought, and even all kinds of historical traces behind.

But Ye Ang is now more sober than ever, he deeply understands that he can see this, not that he can see the real future more than Nuwa Houtu, but that he knows the "future", and he thinks so, so he will have it.

The future he saw was deduced on the basis of the information he knew in his mind, and after thinking about it carefully, Ye Ang found that he did not see the future beyond his own cognitive system.

In a sense, this has shown that the future he sees is also "unreal", and it is also the future possibilities that he "wants to see".

Ye Ang had vaguely understood that the so-called Da Luo looked forward to the past, and the results he obtained were nothing more than a kind of future developed on the basis of this Da Luo's cognition, a possibility that Da Luo's will might be realized.

Ye Ang shook his head, "It doesn't matter anymore, no matter what we see, the result is not true, it is not the future, it is just the future in our respective hearts." ”

Ye Ang spoke earnestly and sighed with emotion, "Although Da Luo is said to be the sky, the future in our hearts is indeed possible to become real, but we must understand even more that Da Luo is not the only sky. ”

Nuwa bowed slightly, "In other words, the future we see alone, the future without the interference of other Da Luo, is actually meaningless?"

Ye Ang nodded, then shook his head again, "It can't be said that it is completely meaningless, at least you can know Da Luo's current view of the future." ”

For example, Nuwa now values all races, such as Houtu, and is not optimistic about all races.

For example, Yeang is optimistic about the human race.

Nuwa pondered for a moment, "So, the future that Da Luo can see is actually just a kind of self-deception?"

"A Da Luo is self-deception, but what about when many Da Luo reach a consensus, unify their will, and set the tone for the future?" Ye Ang's eyes narrowed slightly, "We observe the future alone, and there may indeed be a situation where the biggest variable in the future, such as other Da Luo, is not taken into account, but what about when the number of Da Luo reaches a certain level, and a unified understanding is reached, an agreement is carved, and the general trend of the future is set?"

Nuwa's eyes gradually brightened, and there was brilliance in her eyes, "At that time, no one can reverse the general trend, and the future that Da Luo said is the real future!"
