00989 Five Questions (Part I)

The story of Thanksgiving is terrifying, but it is also full of uncertainty, and the concept has appeared many times before, and there is an in-depth analysis of whether the concept poses a definite threat and significance to turkeys or humans.

Turkeys don't know Thanksgiving, but Thanksgiving means the demise of some turkey flocks, which will be sent to factories and then cooked and served to human tables.

But the turkey will not disappear because of Thanksgiving, because as long as humans still exist, Thanksgiving still exists, the turkey will continue to exist, and at this time, looking at Thanksgiving, it seems to have become the ultimate goal of the turkey to realize the noble value of chicken life.

At least that's the purpose of captive turkeys, we can't feed a group of turkeys that are destined to die of old age in the chicken coop and fail to realize their self-worth in their lives, right?

……

For this, You Gege also thinks so in the book.

When thinking about Thanksgiving, human beings should not only see the bloody side of Thanksgiving, but also be alert to the meaning behind this concept, that is, where is the realization of human values?

……

This is also the last part of the whole "Free Enlightenment".

"Beyond the Stars"

Here, You Gege gives a number of questions.

Among them, Zhuo Zhiwen made detailed records of five.

The first question is, "What is the value of human beings to the world?" ”

The world mentioned here is not just the human world, because according to our current social consciousness as a whole, there are many options and directions for realizing our own values in society.

You can play many roles, such as a great employee, a filial son, a great parent, a loyal partner, a brilliant scientist, a patriot, and so on.

But to sum up, the value of the individual is always to serve the human society itself.

This is very different from the ecology of the earth as a whole.

Because the premise is to serve human beings, not to serve natural ecology.

One might question, if I am a natural scientist and I turn the desert into an oasis, am I not serving nature and fulfilling my self-worth in the world?

Not really...... The true value of the concept of turning the desert into an oasis is still to serve human beings, and it is a concept born in order to create a more suitable environment for human habitation.

The questions you ask here are not questions for the sake of questions, but questions on a particular basis.

In this regard, Zhuo Zhiwen retrieved the most reliable supplements and explanations through the Internet.

"What is the value of the lonely human being in the world?"

Maybe that's what You Gege really wants to ask.

Human beings are really lonely, and this loneliness is buried in the subconscious, and there is a feeling of being overwhelmed by the cold.

Humanity, which already dominates the Earth's ecology, has tried to establish contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, but under the warning of the "Law of the Dark Forest", this short-term unprofitable move has been suspended.

[Specifically, you can search for the word "Red Bank"]

After the pause, people spent more energy on themselves, becoming a lonely being who grew silently on the earth.

Strangely, however, our desire for other independent ideas is torn between anticipation and panic.

Expectation, because there is an answer to this question.

Panic is because the collision between different ideas may not bring about integration, but replacement.

The second question is, "How much living space do humans need to be satisfied?" ”

What comes to mind when you think of living space? Is it crowded or plentiful?

You Gege's self-answer may be completely different from everyone else's.

"It's so small that it's hard to breathe, and it's too big to imagine," she said. ”

This sounds very confusing...... What does it mean to be so small that it is hard to breathe? Unthinkable? Do writers like to engage in this kind of contradictory rhetoric?

In fact, when you continue to read, you will find that You Gege is not entangled at all.

Here you compare your residence, the largest villa in the city, the overall area of the city, the area of the country where the city is located, the land area of the world, the overall area of the earth, the earth is a fraction of the sun, and the sun and other celestial bodies, and finally stop in front of the largest celestial body known to mankind.

At this point, the numbers are unimaginably long.

Some people may think that this contrast is nothing, isn't it just to express that the earth is nothing but dust relative to the universe?

Not really.

The Earth is not as big as dust in the universe, and the volume of dust in the universe may be equivalent to a galaxy......

In this contrast, what does You Gege want to express?

Is the expression small? Or is it a big expression?

You Gege didn't say it explicitly, but she cited an idea after the comparison.

Maybe decades, or even centuries, from birth, humans will be in a box where it's hard to even turn over, where you'll be surrounded by hybrid nanobots that collect your body's neurofeedback, and your mind will be connected to the network from birth.

This is the plot in Hacker Empire.

However, Yoggie has made changes on this basis.

In Empire of Hackers, humanity was defeated in battle, and in Yougge's vision, the box was created by humans themselves, known as the "Eternal Box" or "Darkest Box".

Its power lies in the fact that it can host one, or billions of consciousnesses, and is not sad to help them complete the "world-building".

So what started as "too small to breathe" became the final "unimaginable".

Zhuo Zhiwen's mind suddenly became active after reading the second question, because she thought of a set of "truths" recently published by AOA on the Internet, which included the "number sequence battlefield" system that the US government was studying.

This system is an upgrade from the old simulated battlefield system and is used for soldiers to receive "real combat" training.

The advantage is that there is no need to mobilize the army and spend a lot of resources to practice in reality, and the soldiers can experience the most realistic battlefield on the "digital battlefield".

The problem is that the system is still immature and there have been several failures.

The "truth" published by the AOA reveals the consequences of these failures......

That is, the subject is turned into a "vegetative person" who no longer has thoughts, and their bodies are still alive, but no one knows where their thoughts have gone.

Although after the "truth" was revealed, the US side of the National Security Department immediately refuted the rumors, and said that the AOA's disclosure had no factual basis, because no one has been able to determine the existence of human thinking so far.

[Generally speaking, as Zeng Yijie mentioned when explaining the problem of human emotional consciousness before, is emotion a spiritual thing, or is it a cranial neurofeedback feeling brought about by body hormones? 】

In short, the U.S. side of the NSA acknowledged the existence of the experiment, but also made public the agreement signed by the experimentees, and emphasized that the brain activity caused by the knowledge accident was suspended, and they would "wake up" sooner rather than later.

With these explanations, coupled with the fact that the AOA's image in the eyes of the public in recent years has been equated with a "terrorist organization", the "truth" bomb has finally gone silent.

However, the thinking left to the Department of National Security is very different.

Especially the current Zhuo Zhiwen.

Thinking of this, she picked up the pen and made a new note in the notebook, which reads "AOA - Battlefield of Number Sequence - Missing Consciousness - United States".

Keep looking down.

The third question is a bit stranger.

You Gege's original words are: "Should ordinary people pay attention to the development of science?" ”

This question is not strange at first glance, but it is strange because the answer to this question seems to be obvious.

It's not enough, when Zhuo Zhiwen looked down, she felt that it was not so simple.

In the notebook, there is a clear record of a small question that You Gege added under the question, that is, as powerless people, is it necessary to pay attention to the development of science and the future of mankind?

For a long time, for most people, science is closely related to our lives, but because we don't know about science, we feel unfamiliar and distant, so we don't care much about the state and principle of scientific development.

It's like everyone knows how to take pictures with their phones and know how to distinguish between good and bad phone cameras, but few people know what it means to put a high-end camera module in an ultra-thin phone.

Because it's too complicated.

Science always feels so ungrounded.

Most people in society also know very well that people who engage in science are like immortals who can read the book of heaven, and if they say anything, we are all in a state of confusion.

In that case, why should we still focus on scientific development?

If there is any problem, just leave it to the scientists.

If you have that spare time, it's better to watch more happy and delicious food.

That's why this question seems strange.

We who are "powerless" seem to really have no need to pay attention to the development of science, let alone the future of mankind.

But is that really the case?

The answer given by You Gege was "Big mistake!" ”

She believes that everyone should pay attention to these issues, and should regain the tools of thinking, realizing that scientific development and progress are driving the transformation of humanity as a whole.

And this overall metamorphosis concerns each individual.

It's not that you should give up just because you can't read the "Book from Heaven", but you should see the profound meaning behind the development of science through those complex things.

For example, "artificial intelligence".

For most people, artificial intelligence is a high-tech scientific product, and its complexity is certainly not something that ordinary people can decipher.

However, everyone should be clearly aware of the earth-shaking changes that "artificial intelligence" will bring to human society.

This has already been partially mentioned in the previous "elimination".

Here, You Gege once again emphasized that the revolution brought about by "artificial intelligence" is closely related to everyone.

Because if you don't value it and don't think about it, you will be one of the first beings to be replaced by "artificial intelligence".
