Doctor Zhao, help!

Chapter 386 Really

"You are talking about biochemical humans, which are different from brain-computer interfaces."

Zhao Sheng thought for a while and said.

Motoko Kusanagi who appears in the film is a military bionic and a typical [Cyber]. She was attacked in an incident and her body was completely damaged and could not be saved. Only her brain function was normal, so Section 9 installed Motoko. She received a new prosthetic limb and her brain was implanted into her new body.

"How does it compare to Atali in Battle Angel?"

Teacher Tang asked again.

Obviously she is still very interested in science fiction. She has watched all these science fiction movies.

"That is a cyborg that is a mixture of humans and machines. As far as the current level of science and technology is concerned, it is still far away. Among other things, Atali's antimatter micro-reactor heart will not be able to be used within a century or two. Breaking technology."

Zhao Sheng thought for a while and said.

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

After a pause, Zhao Sheng said again.

"It's like a novel I've read, "The Waste Tide" written by teacher Chen Qiufan. I read this story when I was in high school. I remember it was about a near future where multinational companies, local clans and foreign scavengers are all powerful forces. , fighting for the use of electronic viruses with superpowers.”

Teacher Tang talked enthusiastically about the science fiction novels he read in high school.

"It is basically impossible for cyberpunk to appear in our country. First of all, capital and very large enterprises that exceed the power of the country will be difficult to achieve. A certain cloud is so rich, but now it is living its own small life in despair."

"Furthermore, the extreme gap between rich and poor causes contradictions and chaos. We do have rich and poor, but it is basically impossible to have a financial district like Cyberpunk with slums next to the city center."

Zhao Sheng said.

"That's right, let's just say that the nihilism in cyberpunk has no market in our culture."

Teacher Tang nodded and said in agreement.

"In fact, cyberpunk science fiction works, the dystopian picture of high technology and low life, are the side description of this era. The rapid development of science and technology, the slow decline of fame, the spiritual nihility, the boring society, the spirit of resistance and independent thinking, in Entertain yourself to death and be eliminated in the AI ​​algorithm.”

"I was at the teacher's house just now. The teacher told me that he was practicing."

Zhao Sheng said again worriedly.

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

The real world is based on matter, and spiritual practice cannot change this basic rule.

Individually speaking, human beings have tried many methods to change the rules of the material world through the cultivation of the spiritual world. There have been some results, but the results have been minimal. The effect is like throwing stones into the sea. At the same time, no very effective theory has been formed. system. And many times, spiritual cultivation is not as comfortable as those who do not practice. For many long-lived old people, the spiritual world is actually quite simple. In summary, they live a normal life or follow the natural way without knowing it.

Those who engage in spiritual cultivation, after practicing, find that their pursuit is like the moon in the mirror, and they cannot improve their material container through spiritual cultivation, so they will naturally easily fall into nihilism. This will lead to a feeling: no matter how much spiritual cultivation is done, it cannot change the flow of life. It’s very boring when I think about it.

On the other hand, in terms of academic theory.

Currently, due to limited observation capabilities, all human theories of the spiritual world cannot be said to have a complete understanding of the origin. Many people in society who claim to have understood cannot provide any evidence at all. Even if it is not clear logically, if you do not know clearly and engage in metaphysics, insisting that no evidence is needed or using the impression of mental activities as evidence, it will become self-deception. In fact, even the Buddha said, don’t be attached to the image, that is not the origin. What is the origin? Empty? Where does emptiness come from? The reason why this is meaningless to say is that it cannot be confirmed from a physical point of view, including emptiness. It can only be said that it is possible that something comes out of nothing. If you do not admit that something comes out of nothing, then you can doubt the applicability of the law of cause and effect, otherwise logical problems will arise.

Here we are, stuck, all theories are stuck. But no matter how you think about it, you will encounter a problem. Either our universe is an infinite nesting doll model, there are universes outside the universe, and our universe is arranged. Or it is indeed made out of nothing. No matter which model, we all know the original truth of the universe.

However, it makes no difference whether you know this truth or not. 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 anymore, that's okay. You can die at any time without any regrets. No matter whether you think you have attained enlightenment and can ascend to immortality after death, or whether you think that after death you are buried in a handful of loess and become some particles that re-enter the material reincarnation. Think about it, do you think it’s boring again?

This is the biggest difference between matter and spirit. That is to say, for limited life, matter is a kind of reality, and only when it leaves it will it return to nothingness in thinking. And the spirit is ultimately nothingness. If you want to return to the material world from the spiritual world, you have to go back. The joy of exploring the spiritual world lies in the process. Lao Tzu said inaction, inaction actually includes many things, including the answers to questions, just let it come and go naturally.

"Practice? Why did Professor Yu suddenly engage in this? Is it similar to the spiritual practices I saw abroad? Or is it yoga or something?"

Teacher Tang was a little surprised when he heard what Zhao Sheng said.

"Absolutely. The teacher said it's about cultivating one's moral character. He said some things are just like that no matter how you do them."

Zhao Sheng said.

"I don't think you need to worry at all. What kind of person is Professor Yu? He has been a doctor for so many years and has seen a lot of life and death. Maybe it's time for what they call a great enlightenment."

Teacher Tang comforted Zhao Sheng and said.

"The profession of doctor is probably the closest to the so-called enlightenment."

"In fact, there is no need to over-explore the spiritual world. People always rely on material things to survive directly. No matter how you are on the inside, you still have to take good care of the body on the outside. Cold and heat distress, major and minor illnesses cannot be solved by the spirit. of."

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

Zhao Sheng shook his head slightly and said.

"Developing more technologies will help people avoid or become less sick, greatly improve productivity, and allow people to have food, clothing, housing and transportation without having to work. I think this is more practical than any spiritual practice."

After a pause, Zhao Sheng said again.

　This book will be finished at the end of the month, and I’m going to start a new one!
