Chapter 706 In the Post-Truth Era, Da Luo’s General Trend
Ye Ang didn't say anything about the Witch Clan. After all, since Nu Wa didn't see the so-called Witch Clan from the lower reaches of the long river of time, then this thing has no shadow. He said it now, and I'm afraid it would be even more difficult to explain.

"Yes, is that so?" Nuwa unconsciously weaved the principles with her hands, feeling a little dazed. "It's just that, in this case, the future we see is, in a sense, just the future we want to see?"

"That's it!" Ye Ang nodded, "It's like the observer effect in quantum mechanics. When you observe, you have already shown your role. The future you see is a kind of effect under your will. the future of."

"Remember what I told you about the so-called post-truth era?"

Nuwa nodded bitterly, as if she understood something.

Ye Ang breathed a sigh of relief. The so-called "post-truth" means that some people, for their own benefit, ignore objective facts, blindly cater to the emotions and psychology of the audience, and use assertions, guesses, feelings and other expressions to strengthen and polarize a certain kind of truth. Specific point of view, to attack and discredit opponents, or to gain attention and support.

This was in his era, after most of the mainstream of human beings entered the Internet, due to the algorithm upgrade of the computer system, it was possible to analyze individual speeches, likes, and more-read content in a targeted manner, and lock in the general three views and extremes of a netizen. Non-objective thoughts, and then targetedly push the information and news that he is willing to spend time browsing to this netizen, or some extreme views, closed small circle topics.

In this way, some normal discussions that should be carried out in the public domain of the Internet will also be spoiled by hidden public opinion manipulation.Compared with the high-ranking mainstream media, netizens are more willing to rely on "tribal small circles" to obtain information and share opinions.

However, because people in the circle often have highly similar values, most of the information they receive every day has been "filtered by position", and the information that disagrees with them is gradually eliminated.

In order to stay in the "circle of friends", people dare not express different opinions.In other words, the post-truth era caused by the upgrading of the algorithm structure has amplified the functions of the "echo chamber" and "filter bubble" of social media by thousands of times.

Some people talk about a slightly extreme non-mainstream topic in the online space, and there are often followers, all of whom seem to be filled with righteous indignation and agree with each other.

At a glance, it seems that these views are supported by 90.00% of the people.

However, this is only due to the algorithm, to gather these people with the same views and let them enclose themselves and cheer themselves up. However, if they think that they have become the mainstream of society because of this, and they do not conduct scientific social surveys, they will often Slapped in the face by reality.

In general, in the post-truth era, the truth you see is not entirely the real truth, it is often the "truth" you want to see, and the truth you don't want to see has been filtered by algorithms .

Therefore, if people in such a situation do not take the initiative to break through their cognitive barriers, continue to break through themselves, and continue to study in depth, they will often become stubborn and extreme, and they will firmly believe in their extreme views, and over time The passage became more and more irresistible.

But now, when Nuwa and Houtu are observing the future scene in the long river of time, this kind of situation of "the truth you see is only the truth you want to see" also appears.

The only difference is that in the post-truth era of the Internet, it is often the algorithms of the computer system and those with ulterior motives who deliberately cater to the guidance.

But for Nuwa and Houtu, it is their own reasons. They have no other gods of Daluo as interference in the environment they specially created, so they themselves are the most biased algorithm, and those they are not optimistic about , which in this case simply won't appear in the future.

Because the "heaven" of Da Luo is not optimistic about you, in this case, how dare you have a future?

"What do you see?" Nuwa suddenly asked Ye Ang.

Ye Ang was stunned for a moment. Unlike Nuwa Houtu, he looked at the downstream of the long river of time and could see countless possibilities. There are immortals and demons all over the sky, gods and Buddhas everywhere, and there are also roaring machines, starships across the sky, and brilliant civilizations. , there is also a nuke flash.

He even noticed some inconspicuous timelines, where wizards chanted, mages did alchemy, and warriors rode lizard dragons to fight evil gods.

From the current point of view, it seems that he has seen more possibilities than Nuwa and Houtu, and they are also more bizarre and comprehensive.

But Ye Ang is also a little uncertain at this time, has he fallen into the trap of the "post-truth era"?What I see seems to be a future without the interference of other big Luos. This kind of future is just an ideal situation, but with the various insights of my previous life, there are more fantasies.

He did see the Lich War, the rise of the human race, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the Great Tribulation of Conferring the Gods, and then the enfeoffment of the princes, the East and West, the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States, the various schools of thought, and all the historical traces behind.

But Ye Ang is now sober as never before. He deeply understands that he can see these, not because he can see the real future better than Nuwa Houtu, but because he knows the "future" and thinks so, so he will Have.

The future he saw was deduced on the basis of the known information in his mind. After careful consideration, Ye Ang found that among them, he did not see a future beyond his own cognitive system.

In a sense, this already shows that the future he sees is also "unreal", and it is also a variety of future possibilities that "I want to see".

Ye Ang has vaguely understood that the so-called Da Luo looks forward to the past, and the result obtained is nothing but a future developed on the basis of Da Luo's cognition, a possibility that Da Luo's will may be realized.

Ye Ang shook his head, "It doesn't matter anymore. No matter what we see, the result is not true. That is not the future, but the future in our hearts."

Ye Ang spoke earnestly, full of emotions, "Although Da Luo says he is heaven, the future in our hearts may indeed become real, but we must understand that Da Luo is not the only sky."

Nuwa nodded slightly, "That is to say, the future we see alone, without the interference of other big Luos, is actually meaningless?"

Ye Ang nodded, then shook his head again, "It can't be said that it is completely meaningless, at least you can know Da Luo's current view on the future."

For example, Nuwa, who now values ​​the Wanzu, is like Houtu, who is not optimistic about the Wanzu.

For example, Ye Ang is optimistic about the human race.

Nu Wa pondered for a moment, "So, the future that Da Luo can see is actually just a kind of self-deception?"

"One big Luo is self-deceiving, but what happens when many big Luos reach a consensus, unify their will, and set the tone for the future?" Ye Ang narrowed his eyes slightly, "We observe the future alone, and it is true that there may be no other big Luos. The biggest variable in the future is taken into consideration, but when the number of Da Luo reaches a certain level, and a consensus is reached, an agreement is engraved to set the general trend for a period of time in the future?"

Nuwa's eyes gradually brightened, and there was brilliance in her eyes, "At that time, no one can reverse the general trend, and the future that Da Luo said will be the real future!"
