Chapter 312 Antinomy

Can people really control themselves?The brain—to be precise, the neocortex of the brain, is it really like the self-awareness that exists in it, can it control its own will?

Most people would think that should be the case.If the brain is just a slave to the body, where is "I" placed?

But psychologists in the early twentieth century were likely to give the exact opposite answer.At that time, there was a theory that was jokingly called the "slobber and coo theory".Thirst drives the animal to drink, and stomach noise drives the animal to eat.Supporters of this set of theories believe that the inherent logic of "saliva and cooing"—that is, physiological responses generate "intrinsic driving force", and this original internal driving force provides the original impetus for all mental activities—is sufficient to explain Behavior and activities of all higher animals, including humans.

Although the system of "psychology of emotion and motivation" is a patchwork mess, although many concepts including "body theory" and "internal drive" have been surpassed and absorbed by later cognitive science, but Psychologists of this school have left quite some experimental evidence to prove that "sometimes, human beings have already reacted in their bodies before self-awareness produces emotions."

The "self" of human beings does not seem to be as strong as one imagines.

In the first half of the 21st century, Xiangshan promoted the process of prosthetic body, to a certain extent, because he hoped to eliminate the "irrationality" brought about by the physical body.

But no matter how humans are transformed, they always have to keep their brains—at least the current computer science has not been able to reproduce the full picture of the brain.

And a brain disciplined and distorted by external forces can also control a person's will.

It’s as if hamsters can run pointlessly on a hamster wheel, as if rats and monkeys can learn to press buttons meaninglessly in experiments, as if pet dogs can put aside their own biological needs and prioritize making their owners happy .

Through technical means, Greenwood has formed a neural circuit in the brain that is subject to perceptual emotions.

If Borshu thought about it a little, he might be able to fight against it, but without thinking about it, his behavior must conform to the norms of the green forest.

The key is here.Thinking in accordance with the "rules of chivalrous men" in memory will bring about tearing and pain in the soul.If you follow this feeling without thinking, you can feel the joy from the bottom of your heart.

In this situation, monkeys know how to choose.

However, in the long confrontation, Borshu can be regarded as finding out a little experience of coexisting with it.

Now, his "chivalrous spirit" is making him want to die, so he said the thought of "I am paralyzing you, I will kill you after you relax your vigilance".

And his "will of the green forest" is making him survive, precisely because he knows that the more he says this, the more likely the other party will sympathize.

From a rational point of view, I just put all the situations on the table and let this knight make a choice.

Of course Xiang Shan also understood this.He looked at Borshu in disbelief.

"You..." he cursed in a low voice.

"As a chivalrous man, I think the Fourth Valkyrie's words are very reasonable." Borshu's tone was very sincere - as if he had exhausted his sincerity.He said: "Abiding by the law...in the era when there was law in the past, it was the most orderly era, and it was also the best era. I hope to live in an orderly world...let me die in accordance with order, I have no regrets. If you kill someone, you should pay the price."

"You ****..." Xiang Shan cursed again, then raised his hand again.

But Yuan Wenren pressed Xiang Shan's hand: "Senior, wait a moment."

Xiang Shan looked at Yuan Wenren.

"He can't control himself right now. He's not benefiting from what he's doing, he's not getting a sense of well-being because of what he's doing. I think that follows some mental illness philosophy? In the past..."

"You want to tell me that killing someone with a mental illness is not illegal, right?" Xiang Shan stared at Yuan Wenren.

The original hearer hesitated and said: "There used to be such a saying..."

"Then, shouldn't all the killings in the green forest be considered against the law? Because they all have the same mental disability due to the same medical method." Xiang Shan said, "Do you want to spare all the green forests fairly?"

Yuan Wenren was shocked and denied, "How is this possible?"

"Then why only give this green forest the same treatment, and not give the same treatment to other green forests?" Xiang Shan asked, "Then what kind of 'legal spirit' is this? It's just your personal preference?"

The original reporter was a little uncertain: "However, people's motives are also to judge their crimes..."

"Fart." Xiang Shan interrupted.

His hands shook.The original hearer felt a few strong forces coming from her hands, but she couldn't even judge the direction of this force.Her hands were instantly shaken away.Xiang Shan pressed Boershu's head again.Then, half a second later, Xiang Shan suddenly threw his hand aside.Borshu flew out and bounced on the ground.

"Fart, it's all fart." Xiang Shan pressed his forehead: "'Abiding by the law'? How ambiguous is this kind of thing? It's just nonsense!"

The original hearers thought Bo Ershu was dead, and were a little sad, but then they were surprised when they heard Xiang Shan's words.

People in the Jianghu basically respect the Valkyrie, even if they don't agree with the Valkyrie's philosophy, most of them will only point out the problem peacefully.Such fierce accusations are rare.

Borshu struggled and said, "I can't agree with that..."

Xiang Shan stepped on him and roared loudly: "The law is a tool. Even if this thing has defended countless fairness and justice and provided shelter for countless weak people, it is just a tool and a dead thing. It needs maintenance and renewal—just It’s as if your operating system needs to be patched over time, otherwise it’s bound to become obsolete.”

"And what are you idiots thinking? Guide your activities according to the general spirit of the law, and set up rules for yourself, not for you to restrict your actions with the established laws of the past! What about you? What are you doing? Are you funny? Ah ?”

He turned to the original informant: "It is true that some people who cannot control themselves due to mental illness do not need to bear criminal responsibility. But do you know what will happen to those people?"

Without waiting for the original reporter to answer, he added: "In the mental hospital, the movement is restricted until death. Yes, because they are 'suffering from a disease', institutions with medical qualifications can even use sedatives and other drugs on these people. What about psychotropic drugs? Calculated in this way, maybe it is more torture than life imprisonment?"

Having said that, Xiang Shan asked, "Xiao Yuan, let me ask you, did you find anything?"

Yuan Wen asked: "Are they being punished?"

"No." Xiang Shan said calmly, "Where do we go to find a mental hospital? Where can we get so many psychotropic drugs in a mental hospital? Ah... By the way, are we going to donate him to the Knights of Scientific Research? These conditions, I’m afraid it’s only available there, right?”

The original hearer was silent again.On the surface, the Scientific Research Knights still abide by some noble principles, but the specific situation of each regiment is completely different.Some regiments may actually do a little charity work, but on the surface you can't tell which side is humane.What's more, Borshu is also a martial arts master with internal strength, which is a rare research object for scientific research knights.Should we bet that the scientific research knight is very conscious?

"In the past, society was orderly and complete. Human beings had relatively abundant productivity and a complete industrial chain, which could provide a place for housing mental patients. These mental patients would not go out and hurt others. This is the foundation. Then , they themselves have the possibility of being cured." Xiang Shan tilted his head: "In the past society, the training cost of a qualified skilled worker was not low. Everyone can be regarded as the wealth of the society. Therefore, it is necessary to Opportunity for criminal correction and rehabilitation."

"But, we don't have prisons, we don't have mental hospitals. We don't know the reversal method of the extreme consensus therapy, and we can't give him hope of reform. We can't even guarantee that we can prevent him from hurting others. In this case, we should How to do it?"

The original hearer said without hesitation: "Then, please let me guard him. I am willing to guard him until he can control himself. Before that, if he hurts others..."

Yuan heard that before the man finished speaking, he felt himself soaring into the sky, and the scenery in front of him quickly receded.

Xiang Shan kicked her away with lightning speed.

"What do you want? Do you want to say that if this green forest breaks the precept and commits hurtful actions, you will kill yourself to take responsibility?"

The original hearers felt that there was a flame in Xiang Shan's words.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiang Shan asked.

The original hearer gritted his teeth: "I just think that this is where righteousness lies..."

"Bah. The first thing a knight needs to do is to realize the unreasonableness of the world he is in through reason, and then resist the source of this unreasonableness! What's the point of saying such things when the brain is hot? '...Culture is just a shell, it is to make your sensibility better able to accept the word 'chivalry'. Think about it!" Xiang Shan said bitterly: "If he really breaks free and hurts others, then you Killing him and then committing suicide will save at least two more lives than if I execute him now, right? If you don’t want to live, you can die yourself, so why bother to involve innocent passers-by.”

"Ah, no, you can't die yet. Just imagine... If he really breaks free and hurts others, what should I do? Really kill you according to your oath today? Are you kidding? If you are weak, even if you want to die, you have to apologize after killing the Father of Myriad Chances and the queens—but if you made this oath because of this point, don’t you think you are hypocritical?”

After letting go of Yuan Wenren, Xiang Shan stood in front of Bo Ershu again: "To be honest, I hope you can resist. I really can't kill you..."

When he said these words, Xiang Shan's momentum was suddenly vented.
