00955 Illusion (2)
Zeng Yijie's explanation was not perfect, but it also responded well to the point of view of the person who "kindly reminded" in the audience.
But speaking of which...... There is no unified statement in the world as to whether there is such a thing as affection, after all, a scientific fact is based on the principle of who proposes it and who proves it, and it is obvious that a conclusion based on uncertain speculation cannot convince people who hold different views.
Of course...... After all, feelings belong to the belief of the belief and the non-belief of the none, which leads to different people, and it does not mean that everyone has to admit that everything has feelings, or make everyone believe that in fact, our so-called feelings are just some chemical reactions brought about by internal secretions.
Therefore, when they found out that Zeng Yijie belonged to the "emotional existence school", the expressions of many people in the audience became less serious, because they felt that the "Thunder Base Life" proposed by Zeng Yijie should be something in the category of "soul".
For scientific researchers, there is a certain degree of unity in whether the "soul" exists or not, because this thing is not observable, and there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the "soul" exists, but for the general public, everyone generally believes that the "soul" exists.
It's like Zeng Yijie's view of "feelings" is the same.
"I know that there are differences in everyone's understanding of 'feelings', after all, there are real theories that can convince many people that 'feelings' are useless or even non-existent things, but I also remind you that for human beings, what has not yet been known does not necessarily do not exist, just like Schrödinger's cat, whether the cat in the box is alive or dead is always certain, and we can't say that the cat is in a state of both death and life because we have not directly observed, so ...... I hope that everyone can look at the problem with certainty, rather than rigor for the sake of rigour. Zeng Yijie's words made many people regain interest.
You Gege is not a professional researcher, but she knows what Schrödinger's cat is, and she also knows why everyone here has such a big disagreement about the existence of "feelings".
But what she couldn't understand was, what did all this have to do with the life of "Liji"?
The carbon-based and silicon-based mentioned above also seem to be completely abstract concepts, and there is no practical, definite thing, can Zeng Yijie really convince everyone that "Thunderbolt" life exists?
This point is a bit unfounded.
Of course, Zeng Yijie will not make a report casually, and his dare to say it proves that he has indeed mastered something mature and certain.
It's just that "Pyki" is a bit out of touch with the "biological genetic traceability theory" that he has been researching before.
Seeing that everyone was getting serious again.
Zeng Yijie finally showed the relevant characteristics of the life of "Liji".
There are a total of 15 figures and 30,000 words of notes in this exhibition report, and it may be a waste of space and time if you explain it in detail, so here is only a brief introduction.
The fifteen drawings are divided into three categories: animals, graphics, and records.
There are five photos of animals.
They are: a horse doing arithmetic, an orangutan throwing stones at tourists, a cat staring at a mirror, a mouse saving his companions, and Hachiko, a loyal dog.
The horse doing arithmetic was called Hans.
When people ask how much 8+3 is, Hans passes the front hooves
The way of the point gives the correct answer.
And not just a specific calculation problem, without even having its owner present, anyone can ask Hans a relatively simple arithmetic problem, and Hans can give the correct answer most of the time.
Thus, at one time, Hans was considered to be a representative of the higher intelligence of animals in addition to humans.
But then...... Through careful research, it has been found that Hans was able to give accurate answers not because he could understand human mathematical formulas, but because he could answer by observing the expression of the questioner.
That is, when it notices that the questioner is changing because of its own tapping sound gradually approaching the correct answer, it will end the tapping in time so that it can give the correct answer.
In this way, Hans's arithmetic problem seems to have become a "hoax", and it can no longer prove that other creatures are highly intelligent.
But...... Hans's ability to observe was also shocking to many people, because Hans understood the intentions of humans just by observing them, and gave the correct "answer", and on this alone, humanity had already lost......
So just like today's human contact with the "forerunners", there is also a bold hypothesis.
The reason why the "Precursors" are so peaceful is not only because they are in a state of low vitality, but more importantly because they are also observing humans and are becoming more and more proficient, and because humans are not a threat to them, they do not show "aggression".
Just like the keeper treats the little tiger, no matter how much the little guy yells at you, the keeper will never think that the little tiger is any threat to him during the period before it grows up.
After talking about Hans, let's talk about the orangutan who threw stones at the tourists.
Generally speaking, it is not uncommon for orangutans to throw their excrement or some branches and stones at humans as an expression of disgust, because it requires an objective external force to do so.
In other words, it would never do it on purpose.
However, the chimpanzee in the photo is different in that it not only throws stones at tourists, but also prepares for such actions in advance, which means that it does not throw stones at tourists out of anger, but probably because it is "fun" or even "planned".
However, when the chimpanzee's behavior was discovered, some people still insisted that it was a "habit" that was repeated at a certain time, and that it did not mean that it was "planned".
But...... When the zoo management cleaned up the stones prepared by the chimpanzee in advance, the chimpanzee's behavior of throwing stones at visitors still did not stop, and even in order to avoid the stones prepared by itself from being cleaned up, it began to learn to "hide" the stones, and "hidden" them in many places, so that it could enjoy the fun of "attacking by surprise" in different places like a guerrilla fighter.
The cat in a daze in the mirror was originally just an oil painting that the emerging "intellectual" painter Tang Xingde had shown in his solo exhibition in 2025.
But what Zeng Yijie showed was a photo.
The cat in the photo is called KK, and it is a Russian blue cat bred by Russian researchers for contact and communication with the "forerunners".
In the comments
The Russian researcher has brought his cat into contact with the Precursors on several occasions, but the initial purpose was to let the Precursors know more specifically about living animals other than humans.
But for some reason, the "Precursor" was not interested in KK at all, and even KK sitting next to it could not attract its attention.
But KK is full of curiosity about the "forerunner".
Later, due to poor contact results, KK was left in the dormitory and no longer participated in contact research, but the researcher found that KK had become somewhat abnormal after contact with the "Precursor".
And one of those points is focused on this photo.
KK is starting to "like to look in the mirror".
And "like to look in the mirror" can be said to be a dividing line for animals to distinguish between high and low IQ.
Because most animals can't recognize themselves through a mirror, when they are placed in front of a mirror, they will be alert, curious, even angry, and aggressive.
On the other hand, even if a human baby has never seen a mirror, he or she will quickly realize that it is himself in the mirror and touch his body with the help of the mirror.
There are also many primates, such as chimpanzees, who quickly recognize that they are in the mirror.
Therefore, it can be said that being able to recognize "oneself" from the mirror is a manifestation of high intelligence.
And KK's behavior seems to confirm this.
However, when KK's brain was scanned, the researchers found that KK's brain had not changed, that is, existing observations could not explain the cause of this behavioral "evolution" of KK's perception of "self".
The only explanation is contact with the "forerunners".
For this reason, the Russian side found several more cats, but after contact with the "forerunners", these cats did not show their awareness of "self".
They still go their own way, they don't change.
Rescuing the rats of their companions came from a very interesting experiment.
To test whether other animals have "feelings," or "sympathy," scientists recruited several rats, put some of them in cages, and then placed them outside the cages with what the rats liked to eat.
At this point, the observed rat is then placed in the experimental area to see if it chooses to eat or save its companions.
The results of the experiment showed that most of the time the rats will choose to save their companions first, and many rats have succeeded, of course...... There are also some who will choose food.
Through this study, scientists seem to confirm that rats have "feelings", which can be seen from the fact that they save their companions, while those who choose food are only relatively "pregnant".
However, when scientists published the results of the experiment, some people said that the reason why rats save their companions is not because they have "feelings", but perhaps only because they hear the "cry for help" of their companions, and this "cry for help" is common in the animal kingdom, and will cause extreme discomfort in the rat's body, so that it can ensure the continuation of the population and ensure its own safety.
That is, rats will save their own kind entirely to dismiss this "distress" alarm, not because they have "feelings".
