"You're talking about cyborgs, which are different from brain-computer interfaces."

Zhao Sheng thought for a while and said.

The grass pheasant Suzi who appears in the film is a military biochemical and a typical [cyberman], she was attacked in an incident, her body was completely damaged and could not be saved, only the brain functioned normally, so Lesson 9 installed a new prosthetic leg on Suzi and implanted her brain into her new body.

"How does that compare to Atali in the Battle Angel?"

Teacher Tang asked again.

Obviously, she is still very interested in science fiction, and she has seen all these science fiction movies.

"That's a cyborg mixed between humans and machines, and with the current level of technology, there is still a long way to go, not to mention Attali's antimatter microreactor heart, which is not a technology that can be broken in a century or two."

Zhao Sheng thought for a while and said.

"If human beings want to carry out interstellar travel in the future, they must improve their bodies, expand the weak human beings through machinery, drugs and other technical means, and form a human-machine combination that can self-regulate."

After a pause, Zhao Sheng said again.

"It's like a book I've seen, "Waste Tide" written by Mr. Chen Qiufan, this story I read when I was in high school, I remember that in the near future, multinational companies, local clans and foreign waste pickers are competing for the use of electronic viruses with superpowers."

Mr. Tang talked about the science fiction he watched in high school with great interest.

"Cyberpunk is basically impossible in our country, first of all, capital and super-large enterprises that exceed the power of the state, this is difficult to achieve, a certain cloud is so rich, and now it is also gray to live its own small life."

"Furthermore, the extreme gap between the rich and the poor creates contradictions and chaos, and we have rich and poor people, but it is basically impossible that a financial district like cyberpunk is next to a slum in the center of the city."

Zhao Sheng said.

"Also, let's just say that there is no market for nihilism in cyberpunk in our culture."

Teacher Tang nodded and said very approvingly.

"In fact, cyberpunk science fiction works, the dystopian picture of high-tech and low-life, are the side depictions of this era. With the rapid development of science and technology, the slow fall of fame, the spiritual nothingness, the boredom of society, the spirit of rebellion and independent thinking, have been dissolved in entertainment to death and AI algorithms. ”

"Just now at the teacher's house, the teacher told me that he was practicing."

Zhao Sheng said with some concern.

In the modern world, anyone who explores the spiritual world excessively will inevitably slide into nihilism.

The real world is material-based, and spiritual cultivation cannot change this basic rule.

As an individual, human beings have tried many methods to change the rules of the material world through the cultivation of the spiritual world, and some results have been achieved, but the results have been minimal, the effect is like throwing stones into the sea, and at the same time, there is no very effective theoretical system.

And many times, spiritual cultivation is not even as comfortable as those who don't cultivate. Many long-lived old people, in fact, the spiritual world is quite simple, summed up in daily life or without knowing the Tao is natural.

Those who engage in spiritual cultivation, after cultivating, find that their pursuit is like a flower in the mirror, and they cannot improve their material containers through spiritual cultivation, so they are naturally prone to fall into nihilism. This will lead to a feeling that no matter how much you cultivate your spirit, you can't change the flow of life. It's boring to think about.

On the other hand, in terms of academic theory.

At present, due to the limitations of observation ability, all theories of the spiritual world of mankind cannot be said to have thoroughly understood the origin, and many people in society who boast of understanding it cannot produce any evidence at all. Even if it is not clear logically, if it is not clear, it is to engage in metaphysics, and to forcibly say that there is no need for evidence or to take the impression of mental activity as evidence, then it becomes self-deception. In fact, even the Buddha said, don't look at the appearance, that's not the origin. What is the Origin? Empty? Where does the void come from? The reason why this is not interesting is that it cannot be confirmed in terms of matter, including emptiness. It can only be said that it is possible to create something out of nothing, and if it is not recognized that it is made out of nothing, then the applicability of the law of cause and effect can be doubted, otherwise there will be a problem logically.

Got here, stuck, all the theories stuck. But no matter how you think about it, you will encounter a problem, either our universe is an infinite nesting doll mode, there is a universe outside the universe, and our universe is arranged. Or it really just made something out of nothing. Either way, we know the truth about the origin of the universe.

However, there is no difference between knowing this truth and not knowing, you still have to eat three meals a day to maintain the survival of this physical container. If you let go and don't care, that's fine, you can die at any time, without any nostalgia. Regardless of whether you think that you have already attained enlightenment, you can ascend to immortality after death, or whether you think that burying a handful of loess after death becomes the reincarnation of some particles re-entering matter. Don't you think it's boring again?

This is the biggest difference between the material and the spiritual. That is to say, for finite life, matter is a reality, and only when we leave it will we return to nothingness in our thinking. And the spirit is ultimately nothingness. If you want to go back from the spiritual world to the material world, you have to go back. The joy of exploring the spiritual world lies in the process. Lao Tzu said that Wu Wei actually includes a lot, including the answer to the question, just let it go naturally.

"Practice? Why did Professor Yu suddenly do this? Similar to those devotionals I saw abroad? Or maybe it's yoga or something? ”

Teacher Tang was also a little surprised when he heard Zhao Sheng say this.

"It's almost, the teacher said that it was self-cultivation, and that some things would be like that no matter how you do them."

Zhao Sheng said.

"I don't think you have to worry at all, what kind of person is Professor Yu? He has been a doctor for so many years, and he has seen a lot of life and death, maybe it is time for people to realize what people say. ”

Teacher Tang comforted Zhao Sheng and said.

"The profession of a doctor should be the closest to the so-called enlightenment."

"Excessive exploration of the spiritual world, in fact, there is no need at all, people always rely on the material to survive directly, no matter what happens to you inside, you still have to take care of the body outside, cold and heat distress, major illnesses and minor illnesses, are not solved by the spirit."

"The existence of the body and the world is too strong."

Zhao Sheng shook his head slightly and said.

"Developing more technology, so that people can not get sick or get sick less, greatly improve productivity, and allow people to have food, clothing, shelter and transportation without having to work, I think this is more real than any spiritual practice."

After a pause, Zhao Sheng said again.

The book will be finished at the end of the month, and then I'm ready to open a new book!
