Rebirth in 1998 starts with the stock god

Lolita's face looked a little better.

I don’t know if it’s because her death anxiety was slightly relieved because of Chen Mo’s hypothesis.

After all, if "the world is fake" and the "circle hypothesis of life" is true, then in fact no one will be bound by "death". The most pessimistic thing is that after rebirth, they will have to start from scratch and lose all their memories.

"What do you think of what I said?" Chen Mo asked nervously.

"I feel... as if I am not so anxious anymore. At least at the moment, my death anxiety has been alleviated a little."

Lolita sat down, her eyes were cold and indifferent, not like a human being, and her two long, white, but scarred thighs were raised:

"Do you have anything else to support your hypothesis?"

Chen Mo thought to himself, I am so fucking impressed, do you think everyone has death anxiety? Ninety-nine percent of the people in this world are just cattle and horses, everyone is very busy, and they don’t have time to worry about death!!!

But Chen Mo didn't dare to show it, and continued calmly: "If you have a fish tank the size of a basketball at home, and you keep three small goldfish in it, guess, do these three small goldfish know the existence of the sea?

Let me ask you one more question. Do you think these three little goldfish have enough thoughts and consciousness to realize that in addition to the three of them, there are countless other animals in this world that are fish like them or non-fish animals that are different from them?"

"These little goldfish only have a memory of 7 seconds. Do they know that you, a human who can decide their life or death at any time, are keeping them in captivity?

Even if these three little goldfish knew the existence of the ocean, knew the existence of other fish and non-fish animals, and were clearly aware of the existence of humans, how could they rely on their own strength to go to the ocean?

Is it possible that it can't even get out of the fish tank, or if it jumps out of the fish tank, it will soon die from lack of oxygen?

Why can't we humans find aliens?

It's just like a little goldfish kept in a tank.

As long as humans don’t allow it, fish will spend their entire lives in the fish tank and will never come into contact with other creatures. They will think that the world in the fish tank is everything to them.”

"One of my subordinates named Masike once put forward a similar view, that is, the world is fake, there is a creator, and the endless universe we believe in is nothing more than a "big fish tank" created by the creator.

Even if one day we complete the migration to Mars or the Moon, in the eyes of the Creator, or in the eyes of that group of "players", "audiences" and "readers", we are just like a little goldfish struggling to jump out of the fish tank and jumping to a small puddle not far from the fish tank.

Or maybe they just flipped through the novel randomly, from the first page to the hundreds of pages. "

Lolita stared at Chen Mo with fiery eyes: "Anything else? Anything else? Hahaha, you, the white dragon, really make me happy. In the past, I couldn't find any comfort in all the countries around the world, but now I can get inspiration from you."

Chen Mo really wanted to hit her with a stick and curse her: "What's left? It's gone, not a drop left! How can I have that much?"

But looking at the bodies of He Chenguang and Xu Zhengyang outside the restaurant, Chen Mo still said patiently:

"Here's another hypothesis, suppose an evil scientist takes your brain out.

"Put it in a nutrient solution that keeps your brain alive, and hook up the nerve endings to a supercomputer. It can send the same signals to your brain that your senses send to you."

“Whether it’s eating, sleeping, or reading.

There is no difference from what you experience in the real world.

You don’t know what you’ve been through.”

“Just like the Matrix in The Matrix, everything is just a virtual image simulated by computer code.

This is the famous thought experiment "Brain in a Vat" proposed by philosopher Hilary Putnam in 1981. It was this thought experiment that prompted people to start thinking about such a question.

If consciousness can exist independently from the body.

So how can we tell whether we are living in the real world?"

"The simulation hypothesis was first proposed by Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom in 2003 and has since gained support from some philosophers and even scientists.

Just imagine.

After billions of years of evolution, intelligent life in the universe has developed advanced technological civilization. They will try to use computer technology to simulate the world they live in, just like humans now simulate the game world through virtual reality technology. "

“Although human technology is still relatively rudimentary.

However, with the continuous innovation and improvement of computer performance, in the next thousands or even tens of thousands of years, virtual reality technology is likely to reach the level of simulating the earth and even the entire universe.

The beings living in this simulated world can even have consciousness and wisdom, so in their perception, everything in the virtual world is extremely real. In this sense, virtuality and reality are not much different. "

"If we follow this logic, the world we live in is likely to be simulated by an advanced civilization."

"It was my subordinate, Masik, who once said, 'The probability that we live in the real world is only one in a billion!'"

"The scariest thing is that we can never prove whether we are brains in a vat or not."

Lolita asked in confusion: "Why?"

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and said, “Because if we can prove that you and I are brains in a jar, or characters in games, movies, or novels, then we can feel at ease to end this life at any time, because we know that no matter what, we will not truly "die" or "return to nothingness", but just start a new game, that is, be reborn.

Once the brain in a vat, or the "virtual world", is proven, the fear of self-destruction will be greatly reduced.

I think this is why the Creator gave us humans the fear of death, because the Creator does not want us to be "reborn" easily, which would affect the order of the world he created. "

Lolita said: “Well, I visited the Huo family five years ago, and he had a similar hypothesis.

Hawking once said that it would be a very sad thing for human beings if they did not find people who traveled back from the future.

"And the 'rebirth' you mentioned is actually a kind of time travel, except that the person was 'reborn' with his memories, which also completed the so-called 'time travel' in the Huo family's mouth."
