Chapter 470: Thoughts on the World of The Matrix
Fang Zhengke never thought that he would go out on a date with his little angel in such an aid mission.
But he has to admit that it is indeed a very good way to relax.
Walking by the artificial lake with Nimfu, buying two ice creams and eating them while walking, looking at the lively crowd around him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"I really didn't expect that if I hadn't known in advance, I wouldn't have thought that this world was just a virtual world...... Well, Nimfu, what do you think? ”
"Huh?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's inquiry, the little angel who was licking the ice cream in small sips was stunned for a moment, and then she said with a slight hesitation.
"This ......... Master, I don't think this world is any different from the world we live in, eh......... Of course, in terms of information and data, the world is a little rougher......"
"I forgot, it's your specialty."
Touching the little angel's head, Fang Zheng also found that he was asking a bit stupid this question. Nimfu is an all-powerful angel who specializes in electronic warfare, and in the real world, she can modify and control the information elements of reality through intrusion, so this world is only equivalent to "playing Sims with computers in Sims" to her.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng suddenly began to think about another question.
If this virtual world is nothing more than a relatively rough "copy" of the real world for the little angel, then is the real world really the real world? What exactly is reality? Humans use computer processing and various analyses to inject signals into their brains, so that they can feel the real reality even in this virtual world.
So on the other hand, is what they feel in reality the real reality?
Temperature, taste, touch, all this can be experienced through the brain. But is the world we see necessarily what we see? For humans, we think the sky is blue, the grass is green, and the fire is red, but that's just because of the color capacity that our human vision captures.
On the other hand, for dogs, the world is only black and white, so which color is the right color for dogs and humans to see the world?
For example, when he turns on the Time Dragon mode, he can see the timeline of everyone in front of him and the vague shadows, which represent their past, present and future. For ordinary beings, they are not perceptible to this. But for Founder, an existence that has transcended time, a person's existence is just a picture from one end of the river of time to the other.
So all this, in turn, is not all true? The world we live in is nothing but the result of brain processing, and the human brain instinctively "filters" information that humans cannot process and understand, and only retains information that they can understand. So what happens if the human brain is subjected to information that they can't understand?
Perhaps the tender grass in front of you will be filled with tentacles that look like insects, and the oncoming humans will also take on a disgusting form of carrion. The air is filled with all kinds of pungent smells, and even the food in your hand takes on a completely different shape, like the head of an insect blinking with countless compound eyes.........
So, what is the real world? This question.........
It's really pointless.
Fang Zheng shook his head and threw aside the nonsense in his mind. The ideas expressed by the Matrix seemed meaningless to him, as if they were an indictment of the enslavement of humans by machines, and the sadness of humanity immersed in falsehood. But hasn't humanity been controlled since its inception? Controlled by the air, controlled by water, controlled by food, unable to fly and unable to move freely in the deep sea.
Isn't it a sign of human control that humanity is so fragile that a catastrophe can easily wipe out their cities and even civilization?
So, what is freedom? Is it freedom to deceive oneself and feel that one is free?
So in Fang Zheng's view, this question is worthless at all, and the first page of the prophetic mage's study manual says that when you become a prophetic mage, you must keep in mind one sentence, as long as you don't feel fate, then fate will not control you.
To put it bluntly, if you don't perceive it, then it doesn't exist.
So in Fang Zheng's view, torturing himself with this kind of problem is purely self-inflicted, unless he is deficient in his brain or bored, who cares about this kind of?
As for Morpheus and Zion's group, are they really fighting for freedom? Fang Zheng is very skeptical of this, after all, judging from the story of the Matrix, the first group of people only discovered the "truth" of this world by accident, and some of them may really be in order to escape from the slavery of the machine, but Fang Zheng doesn't believe that everyone thinks so, in his opinion, maybe among this group of people, there are still many people who are engaged in the movement of "rebelling against the mother", I am afraid that they just want to pull a few unlucky ghosts!
Come to think of it, they learned the truth about this world, it sounds great, and then what? Can the truth be eaten? No! They may have lived in a dazed state before, but at least they can eat delicious food, and even be able to flirt with beautiful girls, and go to the beach to have a bonfire party, how comfortable life is!
But what about now?
They hide in underground passages like rats in the gutter, eating slugging protein all day long, and constantly worrying that they will be caught and killed by those robotic octopuses. Even if they return to the mother's body, they will tremble, because they have been "banned", and if they are discovered by the mother's agents, they will only have a dead end!
If you think about it, would anyone really be willing to live like this?
History tells us that all revolutions are for a better life and future, but in this group of people, there is no future and hope in sight. They hardly have any real "rewards" other than an ethereal "freedom"!
If you can still divide the land after beating the local tyrants, what can you do freely? Can you have land? Is there meat to eat? Is there milk to drink? Is there a girl bubble? Do you have a stable job and a peaceful life?
Besides, what do they gain by defeating the Mother?
But they can't go back to the mother's body, so in line with the idea that they can't make others feel better if they are unlucky, these people will naturally find more substitute ghosts, and those substitute ghosts will naturally not be willing to do so when they find that they have been banned......... To put it bluntly, in Fang Zheng's view, this group of people is the same as a pyramid scheme.
It is no wonder that the mother will launch a special strike hard campaign, after all, pyramid schemes are extremely harmful and infinitely poisonous.........
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, retracted his thoughts, and looked at the little angel next to him.
"Nimfu, where are we going next?"
"This ......... Master......... I......... I want to go to the movies. ”
"Oh?"
Fang Zheng was also surprised by Nimfu's proposal, but if he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he had never seen a movie with the little angel, and then again, he didn't know what the level of movies in this world was?
"Okay, let's go to the movies."
"Hoo ........."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Nimfu's original heart fell again, only to see the little guy following Fang Zheng's side, and at the same time, his mind began to swirl back to what Tiria had said to him during the small talk before.
The flow of the appointment......... Well, it's to go to the park with your owner, watch a movie, go shopping on the street, then go to a fancy restaurant for dinner, and then sleep in a hotel together...... So the host will be happy!
But......... Why would the host be happy to sleep together?
Thinking of this, Nimfu couldn't help but have some doubts, and Tilia's expression was also very strange at that time, so she couldn't delve into this aspect, but ......... Just do what Tilia says.........
