151. The world of the senses
In the process of dialecticing "things", Pipsqueak "perception" finds a change:
Pipsqueak categorizes perception by senses:
Listening, seeing, tasting, smelling, and touching;
In this process, the senses do the main way Pipsqueak understands the world;
Pippi's "consciousness" gradually grows under the information gathered by various senses;
becoming more "complex" and "prosperous";
The process of sensory convergence is actually a continuous cycle:
Perception—》Increased consciousness-》Re-perception......
In this process, part of the content that finally converges into the "consciousness" no longer depends on the senses, and those contents form "memory";
Pipsqueak "groped" and "refined" some "concepts" or "co-phases" in his memory, and it was precisely these "co-phases" that formed Pippi's initial perception of the world;
These cognitions are the rudiments of Pippi's "consciousness";
These "co-phases", if they are regarded as static "memories", are nothing else in themselves but another form of "experience" existence, and if the role of Pippi in "refining" is ignored, then it can almost be said that these "co-phases" do not exist.
However, it is these "co-phases" refined from "memory" and "experience" that will become an extremely complex "big system" after decades of growth in the later stage, and this "big system" will think that he himself is "Pippi", "I", and the so-called:
"I'm Pippi"!
The initial prototype of the consciousness of every intelligent creature is the "co-phase" refined from "memory" and "experience";
If we ignore the role of Pippi's "refinement", simply and rudely deny the existence of these "co-phases", and think that the inner "consciousness", or "spirit", "divine consciousness" and the like of each intelligent creature are nothing more than a simple superposition of "memory" and "experience", then we will deny all "subjectivity" and will conclude that the world is only "objective" material, there is no "subjective spirit", and everything is a kind of accumulation or combination reaction of "matter";
Then, the "consciousness" of intelligent beings is nothing more than a simple superposition of "memory" and "experience", just like the hundreds of G island country XX.00 tablets stored on the hard disk of a computer, just storage;
But clearly, this conclusion is wrong;
Because, Pippi's "refinement" has the function of "creation" in it, and all intelligent beings will "create" their favorite "art": music, art, mathematics, and philosophy, and these are definitely not the simple superposition and combination of "objective matter"!
Returning to Pipsqueak, Pippi's "refinement" formed his original "consciousness", and these "consciousnesses" originated from Pippi's "senses", but after it was formed, it no longer depended on "senses".
Eventually, these "co-phases" are freed from "memory" and "experience" and override them, forming an independent "system":
This is "consciousness"!
It's the original "something I know"!
All "world views", "values" and "outlook on life" will evolve from this "what I know" in the later stage;
But now, it's just a simple, pure "consciousness".
......
Over time, Pippi's sensory world is exposed to more and more information:
Like what:
You can't pee at any time, and you have to go to a specific place with urine;
A certain characteristic sound represents a specific meaning: language!!
Pippi's "consciousness" gradually absorbs the meaning of "language";
And, in countless attempts, Pippi learned the first words: Mom!
......
Therefore, from the perspective of "language", the "starting point" of the individual of the intelligent race is constantly improving, and each individual of life has absorbed the wisdom of his ancestors from the very beginning;
Just imagine, if an intelligent race individual is completely freed in an environment without the same race, that intelligent race individual will definitely not be able to absorb the wisdom crystallization of his ancestors, even if his intelligence is much higher than that of other animals, he is undoubtedly just a "smart" "animal", and cannot be called a "smart race" or a "human".
"Language" is only one of the "tools" of the intelligent race, and there are many "tools" in all wisdom, and most of the "tools" will be "learned" in the process of individual growth, so in the case of "civilization" and "inheritance" without interruption, the "consciousness" of the intelligent race will become stronger and stronger;
This is the credit of the "accumulation" from generation to generation, and every individual of the intelligent race will get the convenience of growing up in the "ancestral knowledge".
Every "person" is not born so "strong", and the "wisdom" or "head of all spirits" that he is proud of is only the "accumulation of millions of years";
It can be said that if an individual of an intelligent race cannot even "learn" and "inherit" the basic "basic tools" such as "language" accumulated by his ancestors, then this individual of the intelligent race is only a "higher animal" at best!
......
At this stage, Pippi's "consciousness" has not yet found itself in the "inside", it has not yet "perceived" the existence of "me", so to speak, its "inside" is still empty;
At this time, the "consciousness" thinks that everything is "real" or "reasonable", and the "consciousness" is not yet aware of it: it comes from the "perception" of the "external appearance" of the living individual;
"Consciousness" simply thinks that "Pippi" is created, and Pipsqueak will even say in words, "Pipsqueak wants to eat." "Pipsqueak wants to pee!"
But if you make a comparison, you can know: if there is still an individual of the same age "Dandan", but "Dandan" is a congenital blind person;
Then, in the "consciousness" of the "Dandan", there will be no color;
Moreover, since the "I" in the consciousness of the "Dandan" has not yet been formed, the "Dandan" does not think: there are colors in this world, but only the "Dandan" does not see it.
"Dandan" will only think: this world has no color!
That is to say, the inner part of "consciousness": "I" has not yet been formed!
......
As the "senses" absorb more and more information, many "laws" and "knowledge" are constantly "refined" by Pippi's "consciousness", and the "consciousness" itself is strengthened by this;
In the process of "refining" information, Pippi's "consciousness" keeps "explaining" to itself: for example: the length and distance are different, the bear and bear are different, the food in the TV commercial is not edible, the mother is angry when she is loud, and the grandfather shouts and beats but can't actually fight......
In the process of countless "refinements", thousands of "things" and different "qualities" converge into a huge amount of information to add to the "memory", and the "consciousness" constantly "explains" with the "consciousness" when refining the "memory"; it can also be said that the "consciousness" is talking directly to itself, and it is just appreciating itself.
It is true that in the interpretation, "consciousness" seems to know something else, but in fact it is only knowing "itself".
