Transcendent Noble

An ancient Chinese proverb: Feeling full of warmth, thirsty heart from hunger and cold. In a word, it breaks through the two instincts of human beings-reproduction and survival. At the same time, this proverb itself also reflects the human Third Type instinct-thinking.

Thinking is the instinct that distinguishes intelligent humans from non-intelligent creatures. When people are boring, they will inevitably think about the meaning of life.

Victor's will side contains two world life experiences, one is a modern society with great material richness and information explosion, and the other is the life of a foreign world lord with no worries. Regardless of the life experience, he has plenty of time to think wildly and try to clarify the relationship between himself and the world.

Just now, Barol talked about the fertility of the secret warrior, which triggered Victor's desire to think about the laws of the foreign world. He used X-3 to combine the two life experiences in the will side to construct a virtual model of a movie scene, and observe and deduct it from the perspective of a third person.

Earth, millions of years ago, on the bank of a big river, a female ancient ape was enjoying the prey captured by her male spouse. She ate and drank enough and did pleasant things with her spouse. The tired male ape fell asleep, and the female ape lay in the grass nest, looking at the bright moon in the sky, suddenly thinking:

"Who am I? I am there? I am going there?"

p>

So the first human was born. And her three questions have plagued countless future generations, presenting different answers. Until today, and even in the future, there will not be a unified standard.

********************

Hundreds of thousands of years later, a human clan appeared on this river bank side. The female chief of the clan sat alone on the rock, in a daze. A thin boy hopped over and asked curiously: "Em, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking tomorrow I will go to the east bushes to pick wild fruits or go Hunting mammoths on the grasslands to the west?" The female leader stroked the boy's head. This is her favorite young son, he has a pair of flexible eyes.

The little boy turned his flexible eyes and said coquettishly: "I want to go to the Black Forest in the south."

The female chief shook the head, "I don’t know what’s hidden in the Black Forest. What a wild beast, it's dangerous! I don't allow anyone to enter the Black Forest!" Her voice became severe. The little boy lowered his head in frustration, then lifts the head again, and asked: "Eminem, why do we collect wild fruits and hunt mammoths?"

"To survive." The female leader smiled, and she Like to answer other people's questions, but there are too few clan members who like to ask questions.

"For what to survive?"

"To reproduce?"

"For what?" the boy asked suspiciously.

"foolish child, reproduction is of course to survive." The female chief took her young son into her arms and explained carefully: "I gave birth to you, and you will grow up in the future to become a warrior and a hunter. With more warriors of the clan, you can drive away the wolves in the grassland, collect more wild fruits, and capture more mammoths. We don’t have to go hungry."

"I also need it. Do you multiply?"

"Of course, you will become Abu in the clan, allowing the women in the clan to give birth to strong offspring." The female chief said proudly.

The little boy was silent for a moment, and Cowering said: "However, Abu has to accept the challenge to reproduce offspring with a woman, and those who lose will die. Even if Abu and women in the clan reproduce many strong offspring, they They will still die."

"Amu, since they multiply to survive, why do the men in the clan prefer to die to be Abu?"

The female leader was stumped, she After thinking and thinking, murmured to himself: "Survival is to reproduce... Abu Ning has to reproduce after death, I have reproduced, or will I die... Then what is the purpose of reproduction?"

At this time, the spouse of the female chief came over. He is the strongest warrior of the clan. He once killed the female leader Old Abu and a challenger with a stone axe.

"Don't think about it, come with me." Abu Mao tugged at his spouse's arm. The female leader was interrupted to think, spit on him angrily, but was picked up by him and carried on his shoulders.

The female leader angrily beat her spouse’s sturdy back waist and yelled: "You want to have a child with me except hunting and eating! You don’t know how to think, what is the difference with those wild beasts? You Head male orangutan, let me go!"

"Why do you think?" Abu muttered, carrying the female leader and strode towards the hut.

The little boy stayed in place, his face changed to Victor's, touched the chin, and said to himself: "Why do you want to think? How can you ask this question if you don't think?"

Survival is to reproduce. What is the purpose of reproduction? Why think?

He left these problems to the offspring of the little boy.

**********************

Hundreds of years later, the clan became a tribe. Two wise men in the tribe discuss the problems left by their ancestors by the river.

The middle-aged wise man triumphantly picked up the bow and arrow and said: "Look, I invented the bow and arrow through thinking. The hunters of the tribe use the bow and arrow to capture more prey and completely drive away the Saber-Toothed grassland. Tiger. Our hunters concentrated on exploring the Black Forest and found many berries and new prey. With these foods, we can reproduce more offspring."

"I already want to understand, survive It is to multiply, thinking is to survive better, and then to multiply more offspring, so multiplying is the ultimate goal."

The old wise man looked at the bow and arrow with jealousy. He was once in the tribe. The wisest person. But the middle-aged wise man not only invented the bow and arrow, but also figured out a problem left by the ancestors. People in the tribe will soon regard him as the wisest. The old wise man couldn’t accept that someone was smarter than himself. He asked nonchalantly: "What is the purpose of reproduction?"

The middle-aged wise man stayed for a while, shook his head and said, "I haven’t figured out the answer yet. ...But I have already answered why I want to think? I can definitely find the purpose of reproduction."

"hmph! Why do you think this way? Who made you think this way?" The old wise man secretly relaxed , Majestic hands behind ones back, unperturbed away from the river bank.

His two questions were like a flash of lightning, shocking the middle-aged wise man on the spot.

"Who made me think this way? It's me... Why do I think this way? Since it is my own thinking, then I should know why I think this way? Why can't I answer?"

The middle-aged wise man looked at the back of the old wise man in awe and thought: "As expected of the first wise man in the tribe, I am still far behind..."

In the following days, Middle-aged wise men have been thinking about this question, and the more they think, the more confused they are, but there is still no answer. He couldn't help asking the old wise man for advice. The old wise man always looks like a profound mystery, let him think for himself.

Not long after, the old wise man died. The middle-aged wise man can no longer find anyone, so ask this question. The depressed middle-aged wise man soon got sick. Before his death, he called his sons to his side, asked this question, and finally said: "An ancestor left a mystery, two questions. Survival is to multiply and multiply. What is it for? Why do you want to think? I figured out'why do you want to think', but I didn't figure out'why do you think?'."

"Thinking is for better survival, and survival is for Multiply, then why do we think? The old wise man said that someone made us think. But he would not tell who that person is? I want you to find him, find him, and then you can know the purpose of reproduction."

"Why do people think?" becomes "Who makes people think?".

This question spreads from ten to ten, and quickly spread throughout the tribe. At the beginning, everyone was discussing enthusiastically, trying to find the person who made people think, but no matter how they looked for it, they couldn't find it. Over time, "that person" became a shadow that the entire tribe couldn't get rid of. Hunters didn't want to hunt, women and children were afraid to go out to gather, for fear that "that person" would hide in the dark and sneak attack himself.

If he is kind, why hasn't he been reluctant to show up? If he is dead, why can I still think?

Several decades have passed, and the tribe is getting weaker, but that person is still active because everyone can still think. This raises another question:

How can he live so long? If I find him out, can I also learn immortality?

The survival instinct can make mankind fear the unknown, and the survival and development instinct makes mankind like to explore the unknown.

The more afraid, the more curious, every tribe member is eager to see that person. Finally one day, a certain woman in the tribe fell into a coma because of hunger. She thought she was dying, and her strong desire to survive stimulated her innermost desire-to find that "person". Then she had hallucinations and saw the "person".

After the woman woke up, she told all the tribe members that she saw the "person" that made people think. Moreover, the "person" saved her.

The tribe members saw the woman come back from the dead, and they doubted what she said.

However, who doesn't want to come back from the dead?

Everyone was trembling with fear and asked the women expectantly: Where is that person?

The woman shook her head, nodded to her heart, and said: He lives in my heart, and only I can see him and hear him speak.

"How can a person live in your heart? It's definitely not a person."

Everyone discusses spiritedly, and some people even suggest to dig out the hearts of women.

The woman was furious, and her voice screamed: "That's not a man. He is a God. You can't see God. Only I can talk to God. I am a witch."

"God told me that the entire tribe can't survive winter! We must dig out his heart and give it to God before we can get the protection of God."

The witch points to the digging She has a heart, and the frightened, crazy, vicious, and cheerful expression on her face made the tribe members tremble in fear.

*****************

With God, the hearts of tribe members will not be flustered, and their legs will not be weak. When you encounter something you don't understand, you should ask the witch, and if you don't understand, he will push it to the gods.

Eat the poisonous fruit, die, God’s will; this fruit is bitter, but it can be eaten, God’s gift; if you are injured, just rub some grass juice, the wound is healed, write down this kind of grass , This is the guidance of God.

Because of the existence of the gods, tribe members have unprecedented unity, their courage is multiplied, their fields of exploration are getting bigger and bigger, and they are encountering more and more new things. The witch responsible for communicating with the gods must answer the questions of the members, and new things will gather around her. After the shaman’s records and sorting, the tribe’s knowledge reserves became more and more abundant. Wu has become the most authoritative person in the tribe. But Wu couldn't be too busy alone, she chose a helper to create the words. The knowledge collected by the tribe has accumulated and inheritance.

However, the accumulation and arrangement of this kind of knowledge is piled up under the framework of God. The embryonic form of the religious theological system appeared.

The increasingly powerful tribe met other tribes and formed kingdoms through wars and annexations.

However, every tribe has its own god. What should the gods worshipped in the kingdom look like? What kind of power does he have?

With the integration of the tribe, the witches gathered together to discuss the form and power of the gods. Everyone was surprised to find that the gods of all tribes had many things in common, but they described them in different ways. That's because humans can't imagine things that don't exist, and the form of gods is constructed according to the cognition of witches. With this foundation, the witches of various tribes exhausted all their imaginations and chose a plan that everyone could accept, using humans as a template to unify the form and power of the gods.

God said that there must be light, so there was light; God created all things in the world; God created mankind in his own image.

Human religion has appeared.

*********************

In the era of great voyages, the pope opened the door of the prison alone. In the dark and damp prison, an old man with ragged clothes and messy beards used the dim candlelight to write formulas on the floor with pebbles.

"Edwin, the time is up." The pope said softly.

"Wait, let me finish the formula." The old man said without looking back. The sound of pebbles rubbing against the floor became more rapid and harsh.

"You can go out and count again." The pope stepped forward and blocked Edwin's formula writing space with his boots. "You are free."

"Get out of the way, you block I am!"

Edwin yelled, then suddenly realized. He lifts the head, arranging his messy hair with his left hand, revealing an old and haggard face and a pair of piercing eyes.

"You said I can go out and calculate these formulas?" Edwin asked uncertainly, pointing to the floor.

He doesn't care about freedom, only his own research.

The pope sighed in his heart, and his jaw said: "Yes. You can go out to verify these formulas, or you can continue to study your science...You are free now."

"Why?" Edwin asked hoarsely, licking his chapped lips. He clutched the pebbles tightly, as if afraid that the truth would slip away from his hands.

"Sir Edwin, the fleet you sponsored is back." The pope paused and said calmly: "Earth is round."

With a sound of "pata", the pebbles fell to the floor. Above, Sir Edwin on the verge of collapse muttered to himself: "Earth is round, and Earth is really round... I knew that Earth is round, I knew..." He settled and watched The smiling Pope coldly asked: "Just because Captain Marin proved that Earth is round, you let me go?"

"This is the will of God." The pope smiled as usual.

Edwin felt an inexplicable rage in his heart, and couldn't help snarling loudly: "A hundred years ago, Tacitus pointed out that Earth is round. You call him a heresy and burn him alive. In the square! Now, I prove that Tacitus is right, and you say that this is the will of God? Is a god who can make mistakes or God?" He pointed to the formula on the floor, staring at the pope, and questioned:" Know what this is? I tell you, Earth is not only round, but also revolves around the sun! I will prove that God simply does not exist!"

The Pope calmly met Edwin’s overbearing gaze, shaking his head and saying : "God does not make mistakes. It is people who make mistakes. God asks you to correct the mistakes of Pope Auger III."

"Ha...funny, absurd, hypocritical." Sir Edwin sneered and said contemptuously "You make me feel sick!"

The pope looked at Edwin with compassion, and asked in a pensive manner: "Sir, what do you think is a god?"

"God corrected Ou Pope Ge III’s mistake, according to your statement, am I not the god in your mouth?"

Edwin mocked and said firmly: "I am not god. There is no god in this world!"

p>

"God creates all things, creates all living beings, incarnates all living beings, He everywhere, omnipotent. God is light, God is a beacon, God exists in the depths of your soul and guides your direction." The Pope said piously: "What we see, what we see, and what we hear is the incarnation of God. You are God, and I am also God."

Edwin looked at the Pope dumbfounded, and after a while, he said in shock: "didn 't expect, you are the greatest heresy!"

"The heresy of Church is not the heresy of God. God created the world, and there is no heresy of God in the world." The pope said with a faint smile.

Edwin was silent for a long time, and said with a calm expression: "Pope Your Majesty, you are very open-minded. I apologize to you for my rudeness just now. But your views are too wide...There is no evidence to prove God It exists objectively. The church claims that the Pope is a spokesperson of God on the ground, and only the Pope can hear the Oracle. But Pope Ogg III burned Tacitus to death, and you now deny Ogg... I don’t believe in the subjective fallacy of the church. Unless I can verify it myself."

"I'll let you see it." The pope took two steps forward, raised his hand and slammed out the candle on the table, and the cell instantly plunged into darkness.

"I can't see anything right now!" Edwin exclaimed dissatisfiedly.

"Can you write the calculation in the dark?"

"How is this possible?"

The pope polished the flint, lit the candle, and the room regained the light . He turned around and asked: "What is light?"

"What is light?" Edwin frowned in contemplation, and finally shook his head: "I can't explain now...When I finish the heliocentric research, I will go Study the nature of light."

"If your lifespan is not enough to complete the study of light, what should you do?" the Pope asked.

Edwin shook his head sadly and said: "Then I have no choice but to let future generations continue to study."

"Let me talk about my understanding of light." The Pope slightly smiled, opened the mouth and said: "You can't write in the dark. The light illuminates the room and limits your writing range. Therefore, I think light has established a rule, and you can only write within the rule. "

"Where did the rules to light the cell come from?"

Edwin glanced at the wooden table and said, "Candle."

"Candle is I gave it to you." The pope said with a smile: "I have set the rules for you to write in the cell, or not to write, and when to write. This is God's guide to me. Because God sets all the rules. "

"Sophistry! It's pure sophistry." Edwin said with a beard blowing, staring: "You don't shine, but candles shine. This is a natural phenomenon, an objective subject to be studied by me. Phenomenon!"

"But you are shining." The pope said in an interface: "Your research results, your thoughts illuminate the research roads of future generations, and also limit their research directions. For example, the heliocentric theory And the nature of light. So, you made the rules."

"Then who illuminates your way?"

"Tacituo..." Edwin said blankly.

"Go back up? It goes back to the origin of mankind...Who illuminates our way? Who sets the rules of human development?"

The Pope’s soft voice Like a thunder and lightning, Edwin's ears buzzed. He was holding head, squatting on the ground, and said painfully: "It's the law of nature...Don't ask me again, who made the law of nature?!"

"I call him God." The pope shook his head and laughed, then asked: "I'm curious, you know you will be burned to death by the referee, why do you keep checking the formula?"

"Curiosity." Edwin shook his head, got up slowly, and said weakly.

"Curiosity, thirst for knowledge, I call these the instincts of thinking." Pope nodded, sitting by the dirty and messy wooden bed, said: "Humans have three instincts, survival, reproduction and Thinking. Thinking is from curiosity to knowledge, to exploration, to observation, study, research, and utilization. Whether you like it or not, thinking is helping human beings to survive better. Only survival can reproduce. What is the purpose of reproduction?"

"Humans have been searching for the answer to this question, unless you can't think. Then why do we think?"

"You want to say that God makes people think?"

"Obvious." The pope said: "Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the age of ignorance of mankind. Our ancestors learned to think, but they didn't know why people thought, so they explained all their doubts with God. Human beings have erected a Supreme coordinate for themselves. His appearance is like a beacon, illuminating the dark realm of human thought. Since then, human beings have the direction and motivation to move closer to God."

" What is God like?" Edwin asked suspiciously, he now somewhat believed that the pope in front of him was the spokesperson of God.

The pope shook his head and said: "Humans cannot imagine things that don't exist. On the other hand, things that humans imagine have a basis for reality. God looks like..." He pointed to Edwin's chest and said, "That is Your innermost desire, omnipotent, omnipotent, creation of all things, Eternal Inextinguishable. God said there must be light, so there is light. Does man want light, or does God want light? The answer is, God says there must be light God said that humans want light. Light is the way, the law, the restriction, the power, the light of nature, and the light of the human soul."

"Since ancient times, all human behaviors Activities revolve around the three instincts of survival, reproduction, and thinking. All religions that worship alien gods have died out, because alien gods cannot satisfy the desire of human beings to approach gods and become gods. Religious beliefs unify the light of the human soul. It does allow some people to hold part of God's authority...Do you want to travel to the moon?"

"Yes!" Edwin said without the slightest hesitation.

"You can't do it!" The Pope resolutely and decisively said: "If your desire can unite the light of the hearts of all people, make rules, and point out the direction, someone can always set foot on the moon. Although you are dead , But your spirit fulfilled the original wish. Tens of thousands of years ago, was this Divine Vestige? Is it Eternal Inextinguishable?"

Edwin took a deep breath and said to himself: "No wonder Ogg III wants to burn Tacitus to death. They are fighting for the authority of the light of the soul."

"Ogg III lost. Because Tacitus followed the will of God."

The Pope further explained: "God, or the laws of nature in your mouth limit the path of human development. Think, survive, multiply and grow, and more people think, survive, multiply, and continue to grow, and so on. Aoge restricts humanity. Thinking instinct, he went against the will of God."

Edwin eyes shined and asked: "So you want to let me out? But what I study is science. Are you afraid that one day science will replace religious beliefs? Is it?"

The pope closed his eyes, was silent for a long time, opened his eyes and said: "This cell is too small, and the candles are too dark to hold too many people. I hope you can set up a new lighthouse, Build bigger houses. The larger the dark area you illuminate, the greater the power of God, and the greater the authority we can borrow."

Tacitus muttered with complex expression: "You Acknowledge that human beings make gods..."

The Pope smiled and shook his head: "Humans cannot imagine things that do not exist, which means that humans cannot create the world. The world is created by God, and He allows us to transform the world. The god the church believes in It’s just the projection of True God, the coordinates that God guides us. Science can set up new coordinates, focus the light of the human mind, and illuminate the way closer to God by stacking up and modifying it."

"Why Want to get close to God?" Tacitus couldn't help asking.

"It’s up to us to choose. God has set the rules. The ultimate in survival, reproduction, and thinking is to be close to God. If we don’t get close to God, we will be eliminated. There are too many species on Earth that have been abandoned by God. There will also be new species embarking on the path of pursuing God. I really hope that there will be no second Earth besides the sun." The pope shook his head sighfully.

"Go, use your subjectivity to inquire into the objective and find out the mystery of the reproduction instinct. This is the will of God."

The pope opened the prison door, and Edwin hesitated to go. After going out, the warm sunlight stung his eyes. He turned around to look at the pope in the dark, bowed deeply, turned and walked out.

Hundreds of years later, mankind has entered the electrical age, and various scientific theories have sprung up in an endless stream. The quantum observer effect and the theory of Universe Great Explosion almost point to the Creator. In fact, these theories are more conjectures, but they have acted as a beacon for scientific research, so as to gather the light of the human mind, concentrate strength, continue to explore, and pile up. For example, the same sect teaches the use of faith to gather people's hearts.

Of course, there is also the terrifying Fermi Paradox...

****************

X -3 The simulated Earth scene did not help Victor, completely cracking the mystery of reproduction instinct. But he got inspiration from it, and a few conjectures arose from it.

In this Spiritual God manifestation world, the instincts of survival, reproduction and thinking cover all intelligent creatures, among which is included elves and humans.
