Zeng Yijie's explanation is not perfect, but it also responds well to the point of view of the "kind reminder" in the audience.
But speaking of it... there is no unified statement in the world about whether there is such a thing as emotion. After all, a scientific fact is based on the principle of who proposes it and who provides evidence. It is obvious that the conclusion is based on uncertain guesses.
You cannot convince people who hold different views.
Of course...after all, feelings are something that you either believe in or not, and vary from person to person. It doesn't mean that everyone has to admit that everything has feelings, or that everyone should believe that in fact, what we call
The emotions are just some chemical reactions caused by the secretions in the body.
Therefore, when they discovered that Zeng Yijie belonged to the "emotional existence school", many people in the audience became less serious, because they felt that the "liji life" proposed by Zeng Yijie should be the "soul"
"Things in this category.
For scientific researchers, there is a certain degree of unity as to whether the "soul" exists, because this thing is not observable, and there is no conclusive evidence that the "soul" exists, but for the general public
Generally speaking, everyone generally believes that "soul" exists.
Just like Zeng Yijie has the same view on "emotions".
"I know that everyone has different understandings of 'emotions'. After all, there are real theories that can convince many people that 'emotions' are useless or even non-existent. But I also remind everyone that for humans, there is no
What we know does not necessarily exist. Just like Schrödinger's cat, it is always certain whether the cat in the box is alive or dead. Just because we have not directly observed it, we cannot say that the cat is in a state of both death and life.
, so... I hope everyone can look at the problem with certainty, rather than being rigorous for the sake of rigor." Zeng Yijie's words made many people interested again.
Yougege is not a professional researcher, but she knows what Schrödinger's cat is, and she also knows why everyone here has such a big disagreement about the existence of "emotions".
But what she can't understand is, what does this have to do with the life of "Li Ji"?
The carbon-based and silicon-based mentioned before seem to be completely abstract concepts, with no practical or definite things. Based on these alone, can Zeng Yijie really convince everyone that "lion-based" life exists?
Yougege is a bit unfounded about this.
Of course, Zeng Yijie would not give a report casually. He dared to say it, which proved that he did have something mature and certain.
It's just that "Li Ji" is a bit irrelevant to the "biological genetic traceability theory" that he has been studying before.
I saw that everyone was serious again.
Zeng Yijie finally showed the relevant characteristics of "Liji" life.
There are a total of fifteen pictures and 30,000 words of notes in this presentation report. A detailed explanation may waste a lot of space and time, so here is only an introduction.
The fifteen pictures are divided into three categories: animals, graphics and records.
There are five photos of animals.
They are: a horse doing arithmetic problems, an orangutan throwing stones at tourists, a cat staring blankly in the mirror, a mouse rescuing its companions and the loyal dog Hachiko.
The horse doing arithmetic problems is called Hans.
When people ask him what 83 equals, Hans will pass his front hooves
Give the correct answer by clicking on the ground.
And it is not limited to a specific calculation problem, and it does not even need its owner to be present. Anyone can ask Hans a relatively simple arithmetic problem, and Hans can give the correct answer most of the time.
Therefore, Hans was once considered to be a representative showing that in addition to humans, animals also possess advanced intelligence.
But later... people discovered through careful research that the reason why Hans could give accurate answers was not because Hans could understand human mathematical formulas, but because he answered by observing the expression of the questioner.
That is to say, when it finds that the questioner's tapping sound has changed because his tapping sound is getting closer to the correct answer, it will end the tapping in a timely manner so that the correct answer can be given.
As a result, the fact that Hans can do arithmetic problems seems to have become a "hoax", and it can no longer prove that other creatures have high intelligence.
But... Hans's powerful observation ability also shocked many people, because Hans understood human intentions just through observation and gave the correct "reply". On this point alone, human beings
Already lost...
So just like today's contact between humans and "precursors", some people have also put forward a bold hypothesis.
The reason why the "Forerunners" are so peaceful is not only because they are in a state of low vitality, but the more important reason is that they are also observing humans and are becoming more and more proficient. At the same time, because humans are not a threat to them, they
That's why he didn't show "aggression".
Just like the breeder treats the little tiger, no matter how much the little guy roars at you, the breeder will never think that the little tiger poses any threat to him until he grows up.
After talking about Hans, let’s talk about the orangutan who threw stones at tourists.
Generally speaking, it is not unusual for orangutans to throw their own excrement or some branches and stones at humans as an expression of disgust, because an objective external force is needed for orangutans to make such a move.
In other words, it will never do this intentionally.
But the chimpanzee in the photo is different. It not only throws stones at tourists, but also prepares for such actions in advance. In other words, it throws stones at tourists not because of anger, but because it feels "fun", or even
It is a "planned" behavior.
However, when people discovered the chimpanzee's behavior, some people still insisted that it was a mutated "habit". It just repeated a "habit" at a certain time. This did not mean that it had "a habit".
planned.
But... when the zoo managers cleaned up the stones that the chimpanzee had prepared in advance, the chimpanzee's behavior of throwing stones at tourists still did not stop. In order to avoid the stones he prepared being cleaned up, it even began to learn to throw stones away from the tourists.
The stone is "hidden" and "hidden" in many locations, so that it can enjoy the fun of "unexpected attacks" at different locations like a guerrilla warrior.
The cat in a daze in the mirror was originally an oil painting displayed by Tang Xingde, a new "Zhiwu School" painter, at his personal exhibition in 2025.
But what Zeng Yijie showed was a photo.
The cat in the photo is named KK, and he is a Russian blue cat raised by Russian researchers to communicate with the "Forerunners".
in comments
, this Russian researcher has brought his cat into contact with the "Forerunners" many times, but the initial purpose was just to let the "Forerunners" learn about more specific living animals other than humans.
But for some reason, the "Forerunner" was not interested in KK at all. Even when KK was sitting next to it, it couldn't attract its attention.
On the contrary, KK is full of curiosity about the "Forerunners".
Later, because the contact effect was not good, KK was left in the dormitory and no longer participated in the contact research. However, the researcher discovered that KK's behavior became abnormal after contact with the "Forerunner".
And one of them is focused on this photo.
KK started to "like looking in the mirror".
For animals, "liking to look in the mirror" can be said to be a dividing line between high and low IQ.
Because most animals cannot recognize themselves through mirrors, when animals such as cats and dogs are placed in front of a mirror, they will show vigilance, curiosity, even anger, and aggression.
But in contrast, even if a human baby has never seen a mirror, they will quickly realize that it is themselves in the mirror and use the mirror to touch their own bodies.
Similarly, many primates, such as chimpanzees, will quickly realize that the person in the mirror is themselves.
Therefore, it can be said that being able to recognize "oneself" in the mirror is a sign of high intelligence.
And KK’s behavior seems to confirm this.
However, when scanning KK's brain, the researchers found that KK's brain had not changed. That is, existing observations cannot explain the origin of the "evolution" of KK's "self" cognition.
The only explanation that can be given is contact with the "Forerunners".
For this reason, the Russian side found several more cats, but after contact with the "Forerunners", these cats did not show any understanding of "self".
They still go their own way without any change.
The mouse that rescued its companions came from a very interesting experiment.
In order to test whether there are "emotions" in other animals, or "sympathy" between the same kind, scientists recruited several rats, put some of them in cages, and then placed things the rats liked to eat outside the cages.
At this time, put the observed rat into the experimental area to observe whether it chooses to eat or save its companions.
The results of experiments show that most of the time rats will choose to save their companions first, and many rats succeed. Of course... some will choose food.
Through this research, scientists seem to have confirmed one thing, that is, rats have "emotions", which can be seen from their rescue of their companions, while those rats that choose food are just relatively "emotional".
But when the scientists announced the results of the experiment, some people said that the reason why rats saved their companions was not because they had "emotions", but perhaps just because they heard their companions' "cry for help."
This kind of "cry for help" is common in the animal kingdom, and will cause extreme discomfort in the rat's body, so that it can ensure the continuation of the group and its own safety.
In other words, rats will save their own kind solely to relieve this "help" alarm, not because they have "feelings".
