"The former Zhuang Zhou Dream is Hu Die, lifelike Hu Die, self-proclaimed Shizhi and, I don't know Zhou Ye. Oh Ran Jue, then Yu Ran Zhou also. I don't know that Zhou's dream is Hu Die, and Hu Die's dream is Zhou? Zhou and Hu Die, there must be a difference. This is called materialization. ”

—Zhuangzi: The Theory of Things"

"You say, if we live in a computer-simulated world, are our thoughts expressions of our own will, or are our programs already simulated by computers?" Ling Cong suddenly sat down on the sofa, and then said to Yi: "You don't think it seems that there is any meaning in the existence of this world, just like the sun and the moon, we get up every day to eat and sleep, isn't it just like the changes of the sun and the moon?" As human beings, we are living our lives in one way that has been programmed. You as a human can't escape these facts, right? ”

"Yes, but as human beings, we are still different from the sun and the moon and all these things. For example, we will think, think and test the laws of everything in this world, because everything in this world is not like something that we can touch, just like gravitational waves, which can be seen not by placing them there, but discovered through the thinking of the sages and a lot of experiments. Yi took a sip of water, turned his head back to the couch and took out a box from his pocket, the surface of the box is a curtain, you can see a toy cat inside by lifting the curtain.

Yi pointed to the box and said, "It's like this toy, Schrödinger's cat, this is a famous theory that has been passed down for centuries, do you think it's programmed?" We don't know if it's life or death until we open it, so it's this uncertainty that makes us what makes this world. ”

Ling thought for a while and said: "Isn't this box like a piece of program code, and the program code can also be random, and the uncertainty you are talking about does not exist at all, once Leibniz said: 'There are no two identical leaves in the world. Isn't it funny to see this sentence now, because Bolair also said: 'Let a monkey keep tapping the keyboard, and one day you will be able to type Hamlet', isn't it, if we find all the basic elements of this world, then by constantly permuting and combining, then one day we will be able to find two identical leaves. ”

"Can these two identical leaves have the same way of thinking? I think even if you happen to succeed and your sample is large enough, then these two leaves are in different environments and can produce different effects, and their birth, aging, sickness and death cannot be controlled by the theory you mentioned, at least under the external factors, these two leaves can also produce a thousand different changes. ”

"Then you say that, these can be simulated by computers, because in my opinion, the world is simulated, because you can see more or less bugs in our society. Just like the famous Mandela effect, when there is a deviation in group cognition, is it due to a computer error? ”

"It should be that your memory is poor, people get older and worse, and now under the amplification of social media, this false concept is deepened, and over time the appearance of your memory has been tampered with. The problem is that when you recall someone you don't know at all, but who has done a lot of great things, and someone else has done the same great thing, the brain forcibly crosses when you recall. Because the reason why you do this shows that you are unique, and there are the vast majority of human beings who want to show their unique attitude, rather than seek the truth of the matter. This is the essence of human beings, and this essence can show to some extent that the world is real and not fictional. ”

Ling thought about it, as if there was another example blurted out, and quickly swallowed it back, but her frowning brows seemed to be brewing what she wanted to express, and after a while, Ling then said to Yi: "What about reincarnation, there are already many cases, they seem to be able to remember their past lives, isn't it a very magical thing?" For example, the famous case of the reincarnation of the pharaoh of ancient Egypt, he can remember his past in front of everyone's eyes, and can reprimand the people on the spot in the ancient Egyptian language, the most amazing thing is that the content of the words he wrote with paper and pen is exactly the same as the artifacts unearthed in ancient Egypt, but he himself has no talent for this at all. Aren't you saying it's a bug in this world? There are also personal experiences of this world shared by a variety of people that are incredible, amazing. ”

"I understand what you're saying, but none of us have ever died, and death is a sacred thing, and you can't speculate on a location that you haven't seen, just like the elevator theory, you do a few push-ups in the elevator, and then you get to the top of the building, can you tell everyone that I drove the elevator because I was doing push-ups? Of course not, there are so many things in this universe that we still don't understand, that is to say, what we can't see, what can't be explained, and can't be blamed on the bugs of this world. ”

Yi stood up again, then walked to the bathroom and shouted, "Ling, if you don't know that sound can be transmitted through the air, then do you know if I exist?" ”

Yi came out of the bathroom, then returned to the living room, sat down next to Ling again, and said to Ling:

"I'm not in your sight, but you can know that I must exist, then we don't know if there is reincarnation, but I believe that we will be able to explain all this scientifically, so our ultimate task of human beings is to explore this universe, from the exploration to find the answer to the existence of this universe, maybe one day when you are not in this world, you may become another form, and this form we can't see or touch, but he must exist and we don't know it doesn't mean that he doesn't exist. So we have to go and try to find this distant place, and one day it's like a phone call, and we can connect with each other in different spaces. Maybe one day we have a cloud, and we can still communicate with each other in different states of time and space, and even communicate with each other in different dimensions. ”。

"Yes, it's funny to attribute things we don't know to bugs in the world. But if you think about it, what we see, touch, hear, and smell is transmitted to our brain through our physical senses, and if one day these bodily functions are invaded, then what we see or hear is also false, in fact, this question may already have an answer for everyone, just like human beings will always pay attention to what they want to pay attention to. I don't know if I've been moved by what you say, but the thing I can understand is that exploration has always been the meaning of our existence, and if one day we stop exploring this world, this universe. Then we may really become a part of a machine, like the sun and the moon and the sun and the moon and the sun and the moon and the day and the moon Maybe this is also the state of most people, but after all, there is still a group of people in this human society who will contribute to the exploration of this universe, these are the elites that we humans will jointly recommend, and we are not elites but we are the screws that will continue to move forward and evolve as a whole. I want to contribute to human society in the future, even if it is an unknown distance and a virtual world. Then I will also break through the virtual shackles and go outside to see what is like outside. ”

"Come on, I'm already middle-aged. I may not have that chance anymore, but you still have. Although this period of life is too insignificant compared to the universe, without the efforts of your generation after generation, human society would be as dead as if it were not for your efforts from generation to generation. ”
