Chapter 3 Truth? Boundless? Phoenix?
(It's not that I want to mention "Little Butterfly in the Plane" all the time, or that I'm plagiarizing and borrowing, but the more I write, the more I find that there are many similarities with it.)
Blue lotus is different from the cradle, in my understanding, the cradle of "Little Butterfly in the Plane" is mainly written about struggle, people moving forward; The Blue Lotus is my desire to reveal my own thoughts on the path of development of civilized society and my understanding of strength.
There are genetic locks, dream locks, and the light of civilization in "Plane Little Butterfly", which is not in this book.
It's boring, and it's very exciting. )
White Night will be trapped by a woman, constantly traveling through different worlds and being reborn, there is only one question at all, how can we determine the true existence of the self?
This problem can be explained by a more familiar experiment, which is the famous "brain in a jar" experiment.
The general content of this experiment is to take the living brain of a normal person from the body and put it in some kind of life-supporting fluid. Tissues such as nerves in the brain are connected to a computer that generates images and sensory signals. Because all the information about the world that people acquire is processed by the brain, this computer has the ability to simulate your daily experience. If this is indeed possible, how do you prove that the world around you is real and not some kind of virtual environment created by a computer?
The essence of this experimental question is, you are in the world, how do you prove that you are real, how do you prove that the world you live in is real or false?
The central question is: How exactly do you know what is real?
On top of this question, there is no definite answer, but the answer of the white night is. If you can't prove the falsity of the world, then prove the truth of your life. That is, the infinite nature of thinking.
As mentioned above, the world as we see it. It's not infinite, it's just that because we are too small, we feel that the starry sky is vast and the time and space are endless.
Assuming that life is higher, they might see our world as a small pond, a laboratory garden, a virtual game.
So how do you prove the truth of your own existence?
This has to return to two points, one is that the world is actually limited; The second is the infinite possibilities of thinking and wisdom.
The first point is illustrated by the third example above, where the known condition is that the world we live in is a virtual game.
Since it is a game, according to our current knowledge, a game is composed of a huge amount of data and information. Controlled by one or more computers (or something similar).
Under the constraints, there is a limit to the computing power of a computer, although we know that the computing speed and ability of computers are exaggerated, which is astronomical in our eyes, but there is indeed a limit.
Then, from the fact that the computers that manage the game have limits, it can be inferred that the amount of data and information they manage is limited, which proves that the virtual world they constitute is actually limited.
Since it is limited, it is equivalent to saying. We are infinite in ourselves, and we will eventually be able to uncover all the secrets of the world, and even control the entire virtual world without the interference of people outside the world (the race that makes the virtual game world).
Infinite for finite. It takes a long time to choose from the vast sea of data and information, and the effort is particularly large.
Here is another experiment to explain to you. This experiment is called "Monkeys and Printers".
The content of the experiment was that if an infinite number of monkeys typed randomly on an infinite number of typewriters, it would last for an infinite amount of time. Then at some point, they must be able to print all the books of that civilization at a certain time.
Because the books of that civilization in a certain era are as vast as a sea of smoke. But there is always a limit to accuracy, and with countless monkeys, countless printers, and regardless of time constraints, a limited number of books will eventually be printed at random.
This experiment is also known as the "Infinite Monkey Theorem"!
It can be compared to the virtual world of books, and intelligent life is a group of ignorant monkeys, who use tools (printers) to explore and find the truth of the world, spend endless time and infinite wisdom, and will finally fully recognize the essence of the world in one day.
Through the above explanation, when we are in the world and cannot determine whether the world is true or false, we can only prove our own truth, and prove the finitude of the world with our own thinking and wisdom.
It's just that the process of proof is extremely difficult, and I don't know when, where, or by what method to prove that the world is wrong, and it cannot be ruled out that people from outside the world will come to interfere.
This is a path full of thorns, and it is almost difficult to see the future, and it is much more difficult than any fantasy cultivation or immortal cultivation truth.
Xianxia cultivation and fantasy cultivation are all cultivating in the world by borrowing the power of the world itself, not to recognize the world, but to borrow the power of the world.
Bai Ye thinks that those who open their mouths and close their mouths say something, "Cultivation is a trip against the sky!" "The sky bears me, I want to go against the sky!" The cultivator is really funny and ridiculous.
You are originally in the world, and the essence of your cultivation is not to recognize and explore the world, but to vainly try to borrow the power and laws of the world itself to become stronger. Shout a few slogans? Suddenly had an epiphany?
It's not your power, it's the world that lends you!
Therefore, once the laws of the world change, these cultivators will sigh again, "Alas, in the era of the end of the law, cultivation is very difficult!" "This is a golden world, the avenue is manifested, the aura is abundant, and it is bound to be proud!" ”
It's like a person who is familiar with a certain structure, and all of a sudden, he is given a different structure, and he is forced for a while, and he doesn't know what to do. I only mourned the great changes in heaven and earth there, entered the era of the end of the Dharma, and the path of cultivation was difficult.
No one has ever thought of recognizing the essence of the structure, they all want to be quick for quick success, and they like to take shortcuts, and this shortcut has been recognized by countless cultivators as the Bright Path.
The path taken by Bai Ye is the route of cognition of the world, believing that all living beings have wisdom and can be Taoist friends, and using the wisdom of all beings to recognize and move forward.
Cognition, what is cognition?
It is to know and know, to rationally inductive and analyze, to point to the original essence of the world!
The reality of the road taken by Bai Ye is a blatant robbery, and the world will not give it. Lao Tzu did it himself.
Moreover, this path is the least popular with the world. Like an emperor, he likes to accept control, obedient courtiers. I don't give, you can't rob; But Bai Ye, this kind of guy, the development is hidden enough, but it is difficult to hide its nature, he wants to completely recognize the emperor and sit on an equal footing with the emperor.
If you were the emperor, would you allow it?
The emperor could tolerate his courtiers acting as a bully on the turf, and would never want to see a bunch of fellows calling him brothers. You might even punch yourself twice.
Cognitive civilization is also born in the world, seeking the mysterious truth of the world, the representation of this truth can be given examples, such as mathematics around the previous knowledge point, the teacher has written the example and finished speaking, the practitioner will only blindly imitate this example, if the knowledge point is further excavated, the topic is changed, he is likely not to know. Will frown, I don't know why, and even exclaim, "Wow." The path of cultivation is difficult, this is the change of the avenue, the era of the end of the law. ”
Cognitive civilization recognizes the root of this knowledge point. No matter how the subject changes, I have my own way of solving it. Even if you encounter an unfamiliar knowledge point, you will work hard to learn and explore it seriously.
Merely. This path is too difficult, too difficult, too many obstacles, and far less easy than cultivation.
Cultivation is the power that the world lends to you, to help you cultivate, and you are controlled by it; Cognition means that the gods and Buddhas can't cover my eyes, the earth can't bury my heart, I want to recognize everything, see through all the mysteries, and it is not popular with the world.
Excuse me, one is a bright road with predecessors, and the other is a thorny road with no idea of the future, which one will you choose?
Bai Ye hopes to rely on the wisdom of all living beings to deduce, walk on the road of civilization, stack it into a foundational and real tower of heaven, and truly master his own power.
But, after all, sentient beings are not white nights, and white nights are not sentient beings, and their thinking must be different!
I'm afraid that most people will choose that bright shortcut, and few people can have the courage to abandon their powerful supernatural powers and take a path that does not know the future.
This road is too long, and the biggest problem lies in the intelligent life itself.
Fang just said that in our eyes, the world is infinite and tends to be infinite, and most intelligent beings cannot afford this kind of pursuit of inner finity and infinite appearance.
Edison experimented with thousands of materials to invent the light bulb, and if ordinary people had failed repeatedly, they would have collapsed long ago; When I was in my fifties, I was stolen from the original manuscript and had to spend several years working on it, how many people could do it?
If Bai Ye feels frustrated and sunk in the rebirth of the woman again and again, he will be imprisoned forever in the illusory world formed by the woman, and even self-destruct.
At this time, Bai Ye also understood the true meaning of immortality, which was the true meaning of immortality that he was seeking, not the immortality mentioned in Xianxia's fantasy.
True immortals, the main disaster is the twilight of thinking!
He finally realized why the technology of the Shimmer Galaxy at this time had reached enough to survive in the world physically, and no one could live beyond a thousand years?
It's not about the body, it's about the mind.
When a person faces infinite or near-infinite things, he will feel lost and overwhelmed, and he will be depressed and sunk, then his thinking will be divided, just like Shi Zhixuan, resulting in a mental split, and life is worse than death.
And once completely immersed in it, it will be infinitely assimilated, that is, the death of the mind and consciousness, and there are many races in the Shimmer Galaxy that are young in appearance and rotten in heart, and they die in this way.
Without foreknowledge, without stopping, without any way, when he woke up, he was already dead.
There are many contradictions in the movie "Super Body", which I won't mention here, but the woman finally turned into a Tao (I personally think it was a Tao), in fact, she couldn't recognize herself, she was bound by the seemingly endless information of the world, she was addicted to it, she lost herself, and it sounded like a Tao, but in fact she just became a part of the world's data.
If she can recognize herself as herself, the world as the world, the infinite self-thinking, and the finite world, she can start over and study the world thoroughly, and become a god independent of the world in the blink of an eye.
It's a pity that her base point is too good, so good that she is a god one step forward, and an abyss is one step forward.
The reaction speed of the Cradle God's body loading the mind can reach a defined infinity, if the mind can't keep up, then it will get lost and die, and if it is successfully passed, it is the third order.
Bai Ye sighed, this path to immortality is actually unfair, because there are conditions, the ancestors in front of them are sacrificed people, and only when the physical body can be immortalized can they carry out experiments with infinite thinking.
But what about those before the eternal life of the flesh? It is already impossible for them to see the future results! (To be continued.) )
