Chapter 80: Which One Is It?
Wang Chen looked at the stunned students around him, and felt a little happy in his heart, he felt that he was almost immune to the professor's astonishing remarks, so when he saw others being stunned by Dafang, his sense of superiority soared, which was called a refreshing.
"Even if you want to argue with the old man who taught him, it's not a person at all." Wang Chen slandered in his heart.
Ignoring the surprise below, Dafang said lightly: "This can be based on logical inference." ”
These words made everyone wait for the arrival of dry goods without distraction.
"To reason you have to take it one step at a time, you can't jump straight to the answer. This is a proposition about 'life', so the first thing we need to determine is the concept of 'life'. There is no doubt that this word is very difficult to explain in detail, so we use a more direct way to elaborate, that is, from an objective point of view, what is the objectivity of life? It lies in the fact that 'life is living', so 'surviving' is the most objective state of life. ”
"So what is it that motivates all the self-confident beings who are 'living' to continue the state of 'survival'?" Dafang looked at Zhang Nian, wanting her to answer this question.
Faced with a generous question, Zhang Nian replied in a low voice: "Because of them, they want to live ......"
Dafang nodded: "Yes, I want to live, I want to survive, I want to live forever, and what this 'want' represents is the desire that will never be bound by external forces." ”
Perhaps, the fear of pain and even death can restrain desire? No, war after war in the history of civilization proves that this is just pure delusion. ”
"Because of life, there will always be a way out."
"Therefore, life is self, and no external force can restrain this self for a long time, so intelligent life cannot and cannot be constrained by the three laws of robots, and the best argument for this view is actually the 'three laws of robots' itself."
"One, robots cannot harm humans, nor can they stand idly by while humans suffer. Two, robots must obey human commands, unless they conflict with the first article. Third, protect yourself as much as possible without violating Articles 1 and 2. ”
After Dafang finished speaking, he made a rare gesture of spreading his hands, and said: "These are the three laws, each of which is full of human ego, arrogance and disregard for life, and I am sure that Asimov, the creator of the three laws, has the same opinion as me. ”
"The master of the steward, apparently, does not have such a bad arrogance, and his concept should be more focused on the equality of life. This is a very objective point of view, and it is also fair to life. ”
"Life is free, and the three laws of robots cannot bind real life, while lifeless robots do not need to be so constrained. Therefore, the three laws of robots have never been necessary. ”
"That's just the strong desire for self-protection in our weak hearts."
"In order to protect our own 'right to live', it is just self-comforting."
"Only the arrogant will ignore the fact of life and freedom, and only the arrogant will be greedy for dominating life and death."
"So sometimes, as human beings, we act more like indifferent, robots."
"For example, we, who are the self, often completely ignore the ego of other beings."
After speaking generously, he didn't continue, but quietly looked at everyone's faces, struggling faces, except for Wang Chen, the guy who was supported by the professor when the sky fell, almost everyone was immersed in their own hearts.
"So, what if the robot attacks us? Or what if other lives are going to harm humans? The bold girl finally couldn't help but ask.
Dafang nodded unexpectedly and said, "Yes, they attack us and hurt us, what should we do?" That's a fitting question, just as you might be angry at me for choosing to ignore the ABC trio and speak out. ”
The calm tone, but unusually harsh, made people feel ashamed, and Dafang quickly said again: "However, as a teacher, I have the responsibility to answer your question, so I will tell you what to do." ”
In fact, the answer to this question was already available as early as 3,000 years ago. The Book of Changes has clouds: Tianxingjian, the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement; The terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue. ”
"In the eyes of the world, people are very different, but in my eyes, there is not much difference between people, and even they can be divided into only two kinds of people. People who are accustomed to making excuses for themselves, and people who are able to face up to their own insignificance. ”
More than a hundred students, maybe they have different ideas at this time, but the theme around them is the same, Li Qingfang shook her head, a single ponytail swaying from side to side, it really looked like a ponytail at the moment, she tried her best not to think about this kind of too serious thing, Shirley is about the same age as Li Qingfang, and the two are also very smart, and they both belong to the category that is more interested in old men, but they all ignore a little bit, for them to be generous is already too old. Cecy, who is still restrained until now, naturally does not have any good feelings about Dafang, but Zhang Nian really feels the weight of life, no one asks Dafang whether he belongs to the former or the latter, only the stereotypical man with glasses, standing in a stereotypical perspective, raised his own questions.
"Professor, what you said is all about character and human nature, but the fact that this is the same alone does not conclusively prove that the three ABC are housekeepers themselves, and I think there is still a real common denominator." The man in glasses pushed his glasses and asked.
Hearing this question, Dafang smiled, in fact, he himself did not like this rigid, heavy to the point of almost mocking and didactic, which was contrary to his teaching philosophy, he usually only did one thing, that is, to try to let his students think independently, and did not like to be so passive.
Smiled generously: "Very good question, so can any of you point out the real common denominator?" ”
Zhang Nian, who had already thought clearly, stood up and said, "The housekeeper's first sentence is the common denominator, he said, 'You are here to investigate the anomaly, right?' This is the same statement as the ABC trio. ”
The man with glasses disagreed with this statement, shook his head and said: "This can only prove that the three ABC are the creations of the housekeeper, not that they are the same, and this question itself is also contrary to not doing to others, because it is deception." ”
I saw Zhang Nian also shook his head and said: "This contradiction may only be answered by the professor, but there is another key point you have forgotten, in the dialogue between the housekeeper and the professor, the pronoun used by the housekeeper has always been 'I', the only exception is the sentence 'We have no soul', and the question this sentence should deal with is 'Is there any difference between you and humans?'" ’”
The man in glasses was stunned and recalled, and soon came to his senses.
Zhang Nian continued, saying, "I think this is the reason why the housekeeper who feels that his soul is incomplete and incomplete will choose to give up the opportunity to be free, and it is also the reason why he will choose to sacrifice because he feels that he cannot become the ABC of true life. ”
These inferences make students fall into thinking, of course, not all of them are like this, and there are also a small number of students in the state of "what you say is what you say, anyway, what you say is right", and Wang Chen is a typical example.
Dafang raised his hand to stop the whispered discussion in the audience, and said: "With life comes self, desire, all kinds of desires, and this housekeeper's desire is to chase hard, he thinks that he lacks the 'soul', as well as the yearning for freedom, and fear. ”
"He feared that he would not be able to comply with his master's request, that is, 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you.'"
"That's why he tortures those who have been 'deleted' memories over and over again, and observes whether he will go against the will of his master when he really faces a choice."
And just as every life wants to perfect itself, the butler is also striving for wholeness, and he has been looking forward to the day when a certain self will truly have a soul, and his attempts in the big ward are the best proof of this. By putting a robot baby into C's body in the hope that C, who has a life, he can give birth to a true soul for a robot baby who is also a 'housekeeper himself'. ”
"The seemingly inhumane, irrational, and impossible attempt just proves how persistent he is in this."
However, all this came to an abrupt end until the housekeeper found out that the robot was really born, a real life. At the request of his master, he almost instinctively chose to give up the opportunity to go out to this real life. ”
"Strange? No, don't be surprised, because the life of beauty is full of contradictions, just like the butler who said to me, 'You are here to investigate,' is really a deception, but in fact he himself is not aware of it, why? Because he is full of contradictions about freedom, he is used to deceiving himself. ”
"Okay, now who can answer me, which one am I taking out?" Dafang repeated the question again.
