This situation often occurs in people's lives. It is obvious that something that was mentioned just now will be completely forgotten when you turn your head. If you want to recall it afterwards, you will be unable to remember it.
Not to mention that it was already a few years ago for Nanke.
Nanke knocked on his forehead and thought hard, but he couldn't recall the specific name of the myth.
If he remembered correctly, there seemed to be some elements of homage in Tiga's drama. After all, Tiga's screenwriter Chiaki Konaka was a fan of that myth.
For example, Tiga's final boss Gatanjie, the huge conch, has those elements. And Qijela also seems to have a prototype.
When he was a child, he really didn't know the stories behind these. It wasn't until he grew up and the Internet became popular that he saw the behind-the-scenes analysis. However, he usually regarded them as videos of food being served during meals, and did not watch them seriously. After all, foreign names are so different.
Long and weird.
Plus…
He can't tell what state he is in right now.
As far as he knew, the science couldn't explain it at all. It was generally believed that the brain stored memories. But now he didn't bring his body with him, so Professor Wilson's body and Professor Wilson's brain were used.
Let him find his own memories from the professor's mind... isn't this a joke?
Maybe he traveled through time, so he brought with him the knowledge and memories of the past, but there are only so many left. Now he can't even remember the faces of his roommates clearly.
Wilson frowned irritably.
A knot of helpless rage clogged his chest.
"Zhuom, have you ever backed up my memory?"
Wilson tries to seek help from the almighty Zora Dream.
[Negative, the system adheres to the principle of respecting the host's privacy and will not back up the host's memory. 】
Zhuomu answered truthfully.
[Your Excellency Hikali’s main research direction is not at the memory level, and the system is not equipped with related functions. The Kingdom of Light’s research on memory is not outstanding either. 】
"Too."
When Wilson thought of the dilemma that a famous planetary civilization monitor in the Kingdom of Light once encountered, the marketing account edited the clips of amnesia countless times.
When coupled with what Zhuom said, it suddenly became very convincing.
"Speaking of which," Wilson joked like a joke, "Strictly speaking, I only have Wilson's body now, and my life is shared with Professor Wilson. The only thing that can prove the existence of Nanke in the past is my memory and cognition.
…”
"My body is in another time and space, and my social identity and natural person identity do not exist in this era. No one in this world even knows that there is a person named Nanke."
"Then in this case, can I still be considered Nanke?"
Wilson's words were very light, really like a casual joke. But the emotional fluctuations behind them could not escape the capture of the system.
[The cognition and memory of living organisms are the cornerstone of cognitive existence, and are far more complicated than they appear. This is not a simple biological research level, but also involves a philosophical level. 】
[Civilization on earth has also had similar discussions, which were called the Ship of Theseus]
"I know this philosophical question." Wilson murmured. "It originated from a question posed by a Greek writer in the first century BC. There was a ship called Theseus. Over time, the wood on the ship
It gradually decayed, and the Athenians would replace it with new wood. Eventually, every piece of wood in the ship had been replaced."
"Therefore, the ancient Greek philosophers began to question, is this ship still the original ship of Theseus? If so, it no longer has any of the original wood. If not, then where did it come from?
When wasn’t it?”
The issue of the Ship of Theseus mentioned by Drom is also Wilson's current doubt.
He was like that ship, nothing in his body belonged to him. His original memory and cognition did not exist in this world at all.
No matter who sees him, they will see a tall male white professor with slightly curly black hair, gold-rimmed glasses, and light yellow eyes, not an ordinary-looking Asian young man.
He has not had time to think about this issue since time travel, or he has subconsciously avoided discussions about these issues. His subconscious is wrapped in a thick barrier.
It was not until the appearance of the Sphiakug giant and this vague memory problem that Wilson formally questioned his own existence.
[Yes, this involves the philosophical issue of existence. In fact, the host does not need to be too entangled in the issue of existence itself. The system is bound to Mr. Nanke himself, and is closely connected to the soul of the host. 】
[Even the body of the host itself is composed of basic elements. The metabolism is very fast. The basic elements in the body will basically be replaced every few years. In other words, the host a few years ago will be different from the host a few years later.
The elemental composition of the host's body is basically completely different. But the host itself is still the same host.】
"But my original genes haven't changed, it's just the elements in my body that have changed." Wilson was a bit over the top.
[The host's soul has not changed, and its cognition and memory also belong to the host itself. The host's current cognitive positioning of itself belongs to Nanke itself. 】
Nanke pursed his lips, "Then if I suddenly lose my memory in the future and think that I am Professor Wilson, or someone else, will I still be me?"
[Of course, the name itself is just a code name. All the host's actions, thoughts, and even other subjective activities are from the host personally, so as long as the host recognizes itself. 】
Nanke raised the corners of his mouth slightly, stood up, and looked at the window.
The transparent glass vaguely reflected a black-haired professor with a gentle temperament and a gentle smile. He was not wearing glasses now, and his beeswax-colored eyes were very bright.
Nanke smiled, and the professor reflected in the window was also smiling.
"Zhuom, your answer is quite consistent with the idealism of the Kingdom of Light in my impression."
Zhuom's electronic sound sounded at the right time, saying that the Kingdom of Light is not idealism, but that they pursue science. But Nanke didn't listen carefully to these words.
"I finally understand what it means to 'know who I am today'."
He thought for a moment and said:
"I am myself, Nanke, an ordinary person from the 21st century, and I am also the person chosen by Zhuom to become the light."
"But in this world, I am also Professor Wilson. I temporarily took over his body and assumed his social responsibilities. I also have his memory and continue his life."
"So, I am Nan Ke, who is temporarily acting as Professor Wilson."
