Dreamland Guide

"You know that I am studying philosophy. In the field of philosophy, there are two views on the origin of the world. Dualists believe that the origin of the world is composed of consciousness and matter, and consciousness can exist independently of matter, while monists believe that The world is only made up of matter, and human conscious activities and emotional cognition are all manifestations derived from matter."

Su Huilan smiled and walked back to the table, and asked like a professor: "Guess, which one am I?"

Petru said immediately: "Of course it is a dualist."

Su Huilan did not say right or wrong, but turned the topic to science:

"In modern scientific research, there is always a question that plagues scientists: how does consciousness and matter interact. If consciousness is produced by a certain movement law of matter, what is the mechanism of this production? If consciousness is It exists independently of matter, so what is it?"

"Mainstream academic circles, that is, in our experimental scientific research and school teaching, generally agree with monism, thinking that body and mind are different manifestations of the same thing. Consciousness is brain function, and thinking is the result of a large number of neuronal activities. As human research on the brain is getting deeper and deeper, this view does not seem to be a problem, so it has become the mainstream. However, you must know that at any time and in any environment, the'mainstream' is always a relatively conservative collection. ."

"Whether in science or philosophy, only enlightened, open, radical and even adventurous scholars can stand at a height that transcends the times, break through the shackles of old concepts, change the world with brand-new theories, and become the top thinkers. Asia. Richtodd, Newton, Einstein... Not so. In today’s scientific world, the top scholars such as Lester, Frings, Joe Miyamoto, Mei Yiqiu, etc., are not conservatives either. Although I dare not compare with them in the field of science, we are basically the same on this point."

Su Huilan paused slightly when she said this, and glanced at Qingmu, with a smile on her face.

Aoki knew that her words were not only for Petru, but also for him, and it was probably mainly for him.

However, the topic of whether consciousness exists independently of matter may be a problem in the eyes of ordinary people. Experimental science usually proves that consciousness is a concomitant product of the brain and a manifestation of brain function based on the cognition of consciousness after brain injury. Because no matter what kind of injury a person suffers, such as a broken finger, amputation, cut off a kidney, or even replacement of the heart, one’s consciousness and thinking will not be affected, but if the brain is injured, consciousness will become incomplete, even The whole child is lost.

Another direct experience is that when a person is in deep sleep or is anaesthetized, he is completely unaware and conscious. In the same way, it can be thought that the soul after death does not exist. This can also indirectly prove that consciousness is based on the special structure and movement of matter.

So some people say that if you meet a ghost, it is a lucky and worthy thing to celebrate! Because that means you will still exist after death, and will not disappear forever.

Aoki agrees that Su Huilan’s mainstream view is a conservative view, because after the announcement of Lester’s last words, the invasion of parasitic consciousness has almost been confirmed, and the killing of cats has spread all over the world, the so-called elites are still insisting on materialism. I still don’t believe that the conscious body invades the human brain and that a person may become another person while alive.

Therefore, in most versions of the apocalyptic circulated everywhere, people are still accustomed to calling parasitic consciousnesses as aliens, thinking that Toxoplasma gondii and gray brain viruses are the fundamental means of alien invasion, and cats all over the world are based on this. And suffer.

However, all these views and theories are not valid in the eyes of awakened people like Aoki. For them, the independent existence of consciousness is just a common sense of cognition. If consciousness cannot exist independently, how did their lucid dreams come about? How does he get into other people's dreams?

So Aoki didn't understand the significance of Su Huilan's words to him. He certainly knew that Su Huilan, like Professor Mei, recognized the existence of the consciousness, but scientists did not equate consciousness with the soul, and did not make too many unnecessary arguments before there was scientific evidence.

Su Huilan is obviously more special. Compared with Mei Yiqiu, she is an awakened person, with strong spiritual power and independent consciousness experience. Compared with Aoki, she is also a scholar with profound scientific literacy and theoretical foundation.

Qingmu felt that Su Huilan was leading the topic in a certain direction. She definitely didn't want to say that there was a problem with consciousness.

Sure enough, after a short pause, Su Huilan said:

"But if you think I support dualism, you are wrong. On the contrary, I am a monist."

Aoki and Petru were both stunned.

Seeing their shocked expressions, Su Huilan smiled and said:

"It's just that my monism is different from the monism we just talked about. Traditional monists believe that the essence of the world is matter, everything is made of matter, and all phenomena are manifestations of material movement. Our emotions, thinking, and consciousness , Are all produced by the movement of the material that constitutes our body according to a certain structure and law.

But my opinion is contrary to theirs. I think the origin of the world is consciousness, which is ‘I’, and everything is created by me. The power of consciousness constructs the world, including the ‘nothing’ matter that constitutes the world and the basic rules of the world’s operation. "

Such a point of view seemed familiar, and Aoki searched in his mind, trying to find who had said such a thing before.

Petru came from a professional team and didn't know much about philosophy and science, so he didn't interrupt.

But the crow on the green wood couldn't help but interject: "Isn't it just subjective idealism?!"

Su Huilan corrected:

"No, it's not the same. Idealist monists believe that the origin of the world is composed of spirit, and the source of spirit is God. That is to say, the fundamental difference between idealism and materialism is apart from the "all ideals" and "all materialisms" suggested by the name. In addition to the difference between', the very important point is whether to admit the existence of'God' ~ www.readwn.com~ Because there is no'God', idealists cannot explain the phenomenon of the universe.

I am an atheist, but I am not a materialist, or even a dualist. Is this strange?

But in fact, you don’t need to be surprised at all. As long as you put aside the traditional concepts of materialism and idealism, you can easily accept my ideas. If I have to give my idea a name, it can be called-consciousism. "

"Consciousness?" The crow muttered the word vaguely, as if chewing on something, "Crack, it sounds a bit like Nietzsche's voluntarism, but also a bit like Buddhist voluntarism. The Buddha said,'The mind is born and all the laws are born, and the mind is extinguished, and all the laws are extinguished. All the actions are like dew and electricity, and should be observed like this.' Nietzsche said,'If there is a god, how can I bear that I am not that god? So there is no god!'..."

The next to him soundly meowed, watching the boss Mei's eyes full of reverence.

Aoki grabbed the crow who was standing on top of his head, scratching his scalp with his paw, and chattering about religious and philosophical sayings, and said with a smile:

"When did you become a philosopher?!"
