Chapter 183: Philosophical Puzzles
Since the acquisition of "brain chip technology" in the hands of aliens, people have begun difficult research on the brain domain. Especially in the next four hundred years, almost overwhelming the vast majority of the force, because of a series of coincidences, it was reluctantly completed.
Assistive brain technology, integrating the crystallization of countless wisdom! Many of these theories are contrary to common sense, and even blindly guessed without basis, have been magically verified.
If there were no epiphanies of all kinds, there would be no flash of inspiration one after another; Or without brain-on-chip technology and the "Transhuman for All" program, which has greatly improved people's intelligence......
Anyway, as long as any of these conditions are missing, this technology cannot be completed at all.
Recalling the dark days in the past, and not seeing the random groping ahead, everyone sighed.
Fortunately, this period of time has finally come through.
"I think that these siliconized modifiers, of course, belong to the new human citizens." Soon, a male professor was the first to come up with his own idea. He aired a video on the big screen giving the first piece of evidence.
"According to the social experiments on the Ge Yingsa people, this auxiliary brain will not change a person's personality for the time being, nor will it destroy social stability. We don't have to worry about that. ”
"Look ......"
The video shows the New Humans following a Geingsa for seventeen years.
This guy named Li Ran is essentially a lazy guy who doesn't like to study, and likes to pretend to be forced and pick up girls......
Since he had a car accident and was very lucky to be transformed by a new human, he began to rely on his super high IQ to rise to prominence.
The knowledge of any low-level civilization turned into something very simple for him.
But in essence, he still doesn't like to learn.
Since becoming a university professor, he has devoted only a very small part of his energy to scientific research. The rest of the time is all indulged in pretending and picking up girls.,Especially the schoolgirls who bubble themselves.,A series of scandals have been reported for this!
Of course, with Li Ran's status on this planet, no one would do anything to him...... Some criticism from the media is simply insignificant to him. This guy with poor morals lives very well on his own planet.
“…… According to this series of observations, the acceleration of the speed of thinking does not affect the character and essence. This Li Ran didn't even want to think about why he suddenly became smarter, where the system in his head came from, and so on. ”
"He just wants to live so happily......"
This video is very convincing.
Everyone was quietly thinking in their seats: with an auxiliary brain installed, the person was still the same person.
The professor came to the final conclusion: "So, installing an auxiliary brain does not significantly change the personality and personality, and there is no doubt that there are not too many ethical problems." I think this technology is good for us. Moreover, after so many years of research, the success rate of surgery has almost reached more than 99%. ”
"We have all rescued examples like Zhang Ruien...... So, it has reached a level where it can be popularized. ”
"As for the identity and status of silicon-based converters...... There is nothing to worry about, after siliconization, they will become more advanced species than the new humans, they are more intelligent and creative, and of course they still belong to the new human citizens. ”
The professor finished his opinion and sat down quietly. Soon, someone pressed the speak button again.
Yu Yifeng said by name: "No. 114, please speak." ”
is a middle-aged lady. She stood up and asked in a slightly questioning tone: "I have a question: using such technology, almost every cell in the brain has been transformed, and the depth of such transformation is not comparable to the simple technology of brain chips. ”
"I wonder if the original personality is dead? For example, this Li Ran, the first time he accepted the transformation, his personal will has been erased, and he is replaced by a personality with the same memory? ”
"These are questions that we don't know about, and we can get real conclusions. If it's really as I guessed...... This technology is nothing short of murder for us!
"'I' was dead at that time, and the next me with the same memory, no matter how smart and powerful I am, what does it have to do with me now?"
"Guys, are you afraid of 'me' disappearing?"
This passage sounded a bit like a tongue twister, but everyone actually understood it. This also brings an inexplicable feeling of discomfort.
The conference room was buzzing.
"This is really something that the experiment can't prove." Yu Yifeng thought to himself.
Because all the surgeries are done in a state of confusion...... No one knows if the original personality is truly dead. Is it because of the symbiosis between the auxiliary brain and the original brain afterwards, a new personality is formed?
This new personality, it seems, all the memories are the same as the original personality, and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
Because for the time being, the reason for the formation of people's self-consciousness is still a black box. People can already read the brain's thoughts, but there is no way to figure out how this mind came into being in the first moment, and there is no way to create self-consciousness out of nothing. Therefore, the auxiliary brain must still be built on the basis of the biological brain and cannot operate alone.
After a while, someone else stood up and said, "Guys, why do we care? This kind of question is too unfounded and too nonsense, right? ”
The speaker was Professor Nakatamura, one of the main leaders of the auxiliary brain, who was a little angry at these inexplicable questions: "A person's life, like flowing water, is always changing. Every minute, every second is updating. ”
"If you talk about the nature of self-awareness, you can't see it clearly, and you can't touch it. I don't think there's a way to get it into perspective, so there's no need to care too much about it. ”
"I'll give you an example...... Can you be sure that when you wake up, you are still the same as before you go to bed? ”
"Perhaps, every time you sleep, the previous one will die, and the new you will wake up. It's just that after you wake up, you don't have the memory of when you died, so you think that you are still the same you. ”
"But who knows? Maybe you were dead when you fell asleep...... Can you, lady, confirm that my conjecture is wrong? Yes, it can't be ......"
"If my conjecture is true, you've already died tens of thousands of times, do you care about this one?"
Professor Nakatamura's words sparked more discussion at once, and many people thought his words were strange, and it was really sensational that every time I slept on, one of the original "I" would die.
But there was no way to refute it.
Is this a possibility? Of course there is, and the probability is not small.
"Is it true that every 'I' has only a dozen hours to live? Every sleep is the birth of a new life? “
"Actually, normally, we think that as long as the brain lives, I will still be my ......"
This has actually evolved into a complex philosophical question: Who am I? What is the real me?
Yu Yifeng touched his chin and thought about it carefully, and for the first time he felt that as long as the existence of self-consciousness was continuous and there was no interruption in between, he could think that he was still himself.
However, how to prove its continuity is still a cosmic problem, and there is not even a specific definition.
As Professor Nakatamura said, when sleeping, is there a break in human consciousness? No one can know. It is not known that brain waves are naturally continuous, and what kind of self-consciousness is exactly.
"Even time has a minimum Planck time, and people's self-consciousness is most likely discrete...... That is, there will be a break in self-awareness for a while. ”
Hearing everyone's discussion, Professor Nakatamura paused for a moment and then said, "So, there is nothing to argue about such as self-awareness. We have also discussed it when we invented the brain chip and the use of perfection in the whole population. ”
“…… Auxiliary brain technology, although the brain cells are fully modified, when the transformation is implemented, the brain of the entire human body remains active and does not die. So, for the time being, it can be considered...... I'm still who I am. ”
With that, he sat down quietly.
