Dark Blood Age

^

The room was quiet for a moment and then suddenly chatted.

“You've been watching a lot of TV, haven't you? ”

“This is where the pseudoscience of changing memories comes in? ”

“Where did this guy come from? ”

“No, with a child, where is this place now? ”

……

The old blue-haired man at the front desk looked at the assistant sitting at the door and the young blue-haired woman immediately got up, silencing: “Quiet! Quiet!”

She seemed to have a particular power to silence young people who were still discussing things.

The blue-haired old man coughed and looked at the "teenager", still slowing down: “Your question is very good. Before I answer your question, I'll tell you about an experiment of thought that I mentioned in a paper when I was younger. ”

Saying, he looked for a while from the screen on one side, flipped out an article and projected it behind his back.

Turning over the article, he continued:

“As I said earlier, as memories from external stimuli grow and form, self-consciousness emerges and then constantly determines itself, which is currently our mainstream concept of biolife, but few realize that there is a problem that cannot be bypassed -

Is self-consciousness inherent, only gradually revealed by the formation of memories from external stimuli, or does it not originally exist, but results from these external stimulus memories?

It's a matter of ghost charm, and many famous biologists and I have felt bewildered and even turned to the Lord in Chief of the Great Temple. ”

The blue-haired old man slowly sounded like he had special magic, and in a spacious room, echoing back and forth, more than a hundred young people thought quietly with that voice.

“It doesn't seem difficult to prove this by putting one person, like any of you, back into the mother's womb, and then being adopted by another couple of parents after birth, in a different environment, starting another completely different life than you are now. ”

The old man with blue hair paused and looked at the “teenager” and said, "At this time, just like the young man asked, are you still you? ”

The seats under the stage are sometimes a voice of discussion, saying no, experience is completely different from memory, how can it be the same person? Others say that it's the same person who grew up in two different environments. Is it just two people?

If they didn't go to the University of St. Pettis a few years ago, but to another university, or even stopped going to another university, how could they be different environments, different memories, different people?

And if the conditions of the two families are similar, this person will have the same physical appearance and even the same voice, no matter which family.

But soon there were opponents who said it was because there was a concept of time, and a few years ago, their sense of self had been established over and over again, and then, no matter how they changed the environment, they chose which kind of experience, they eventually formed themselves.

People with the opposite view are also reluctant to show weakness, and they ask, "How long did it take to form?" Three or ten? Biological maturity varies, with significant differences between blue-haired and black-haired people, and is unconvincing if quantifiable figures are not established.

The blue-haired woman at the door had to raise her voice again: "Quiet! ”

The blue-haired old man seemed satisfied that his students were able to have different disputes, right or wrong, which represented a kind of vitality.

When the room was quiet, he smiled and said:

“What is science? Simply put, the same phenomenon can recur under certain conditions, and then sum it up, form a law, and then you can publish it, and people can do experiments that can observe the phenomenon according to your law.

So if one day one of you actually sees a dead spirit in a horror movie at the innermost intervals of the toilet, don't be afraid, instead you should be excited, because I want to congratulate you, your experience will be the greatest discovery of our time! ”

After a pause in laughter, the blue-haired old man adjusted the violently controversial atmosphere with jokes, and slowly continued without losing his temper:

“I've just heard people think that the same body is one person, and some people think that completely different memories of experiences are two people, and the reason why they make two different differences is because it's a failed experiment of thought.

No one can really put anyone back in their stomach, no higher technology can reverse time, and even if he starts a life anew, he cannot compare it to his predecessor, because the original period has disappeared in time and space. ”

“So it's a failed experiment of thought, and it assumes that the premise is wrong and unscientific, and inevitably does not get the right results. ”

“And a good thought experiment, not only presupposing the need to be right, but also abandoning the twig leaves and hitting the essence and core of the problem, instead of full of thought and complicated smoking, so I later designed another thought experiment. ”

Speaking of which, the blue-haired old man has recovered in seriousness, pointing to a paragraph with a lot of pictures behind him slowing down:

“In this experiment, I designed two existing" rooms "in which everything is exactly the same, from color to size, without any distinction whatsoever, forming the exact same external environment.

Then, in each “room," we put in two newborn people with exactly the same physical characteristics, twins, cell duplicators… whatever it is, we only assume that the two people are biomorphologically identical, not even one more cell, not less than one cell.

This can be predicted by more advanced technologies than we can do.

Next, in these two rooms, we give these two people exactly the same life, the same environment, the same process, all the outside information exactly the same, even the same timing.

So, I'm going to ask you again, do these two people who are the same body and have the exact same world and experience memories, have the same consciousness? ”

Without waiting for the following to talk, the blue-haired old man quickly asked, “If so, how does it exist in two separate bodies? If not, how do you explain that two people with exactly the same experience, from body to memory, are different people? ”

The blue-haired old man was quiet when he finished, no longer arguing with each other as before, but seemed to be caught in some sort of thinking.

A while later, after giving them some time to think, the old man with blue hair went on to say, “Like you, it's been bothering me for a long time, because in any case, the results are contradictory, uncomfortable, and ultimately make me realize what I said earlier, the problem hidden in our idea of mainstream biological life.

Unfortunately, with our scientific and technological capabilities, we cannot achieve this ideological experiment, but I believe that there may be life in the universe a thousand, 10,000, even more years ahead of us, and that they have the ability to do this experiment, even further, not just for individual experimental entities, but for large-scale experiments to obtain a great deal of experimental data.

Why do you say that? Because I believe that this is one of the ultimate meanings that all life seeks.

For example, it stretches out a small branch —— immortality.

In our ancient history, countless monarchs have tried to find such power, but ultimately rely only on the temple, but the branch it extends to solve this problem.

If self-consciousness is born in externally stimulated memories, we can transfer all memories to alternate life forms before death, acquire new life, and live forever.

And if self-consciousness was born at the moment of life, it would have existed, then we might still have to take the old path to cultivate the ancient legends, of course in a scientific way, after all we now know the zero-dimensional space of memory mapping, where perhaps more secrets need to be discovered.

So I believe that those who are able to experiment with this idea should have gained immortality, and they can even transform their consciousness into different organisms. ”

The blue-haired old man paused a little and then looked at the "teenager” who was wrinkling his eyebrows like he was thinking, and said: "So this is the only way I can answer your question. If self-consciousness exists, then even if you modify your memory, as long as you come into contact with a sufficient level of legend, you must be yourself, otherwise you may lose yourself, and if self-consciousness is born from memories and experiences of external stimuli, then it is very likely that you will become another person.

I can't give you a definite answer, but I can tell you that there's nothing to worry about and nobody can change your memory.

According to existing research, a slight change in the head would produce an unexpected chain reaction, and a normal person would be destroyed as an idiot.

The film and television story you're talking about, I know, although it doesn't match our biology, there's one thing it's not wrong with, and it really takes the Supreme God to make this kind of memory change. ”

……

Leaving the spacious room, it was too late, the cold wind blew, the “teenager” realized that he had forgotten his business, it was good to be calm around, no chaos appeared by the demons.

He didn't know why he was asking the question and why he was interested in it. He just felt that he had to figure it out, otherwise he would rather not remember where his home was!

Show has woken up, as there is no huddle found, the two men just need to be ready to go back the same way.

Still waiting for work tomorrow!

At this point, following the crowd coming out of the generous room behind him, a man received a call and was surprised: "Near St. Pettis? The demon attacked a car? Okay, okay, I'll be right out. ”

“Juvenile" suddenly shocked, Show was also shocked, although it was not necessarily the master's quadricycles that were attacked, but because he had seen a group of soldiers when he came, he thought he was going to see them anyway.
