Not listening or listening, the bastard is chanting sutras. The patriarch covers his ears and is unwilling to listen to those questions that can solve the questions in his heart, the difficult problems in his mind, those technological problems that were not solved eight hundred years ago, and the unsolved verification of laws...
All the problems that the Elf leader could not solve were now revealed from Anna's mouth. If he were a true scientist who would die after hearing the truth, he would definitely cry with joy.
The author of "The Three-Body Problem" wrote the story of the Altar of Truth, which means that a super powerful alien came to the earth and prevented humans from exploring the universe. Because exploring the universe is a very dangerous move, they specifically prevent backward civilizations from committing suicide.
.But a group of scientists on Earth said that if they can't explore the truth of the universe without committing suicide, then what's the meaning of their lives? At this time, a scientist named Ding Yi came up with an idea, that is, aliens can tell them
The truth of the universe model and then just kill them.
Even if the dead knew the truth, they would not have time to practice it, which would satisfy their curiosity and allow them to die peacefully.
So the aliens established the Altar of Truth. The function of this altar is to inform the people on earth of the truth and then sacrifice them. The truth is the universe model that contains everything. Some people may want to ask, since exploring the truth will lead to the destruction of the universe, then aliens
How does civilization know the truth about the universe? Could it be that only state officials are allowed to set fires and people are not allowed to light lamps, while aliens are frantically researching the truth but using safety as an excuse to suppress backward civilizations?
It’s really not true. The truth about the alien universe model is that it was sent to future generations by a certain death-seeking civilization in the previous universe at the cost of the destruction of the universe. The determination of the death-seeking civilization is the same as that of the earthlings on the altar of truth.
The truth does not matter at all. So they used everything to destroy the universe and create a model of the universe. It is estimated that they grasped the truth for a moment, and then the universe was gone. However, they sent the truth to the next universe through a time capsule, and the aliens
It was not that he discovered the truth, but that he discovered the time capsule, obtained the model of the universe from it, and learned the dangers of exploring the truth of the universe. From then on, he began to prevent backward civilizations from committing suicide in the entire universe.
When people on earth step onto the altar of truth, any questions in mathematics, physics, and chemistry can be answered. After knowing the answer, they have ten seconds to reflect on it, and then take the lead.
But there is only one question that even aliens don’t know, and that is the purpose of the universe. This question is not within the scope of science, but belongs to philosophy. So how can aliens know, because the universe was born in the Big Bang, and there is no
Someone once said that the explosion of the universe must have a purpose.
So aliens cannot answer this question.
Now Anna is like an alien announcing the truth on the altar of truth. She keeps talking about all kinds of knowledge, which makes the Elf leader almost collapse.
This scene is like Tang Monk reciting the tightening curse to Sun Wukong.
The patriarch is afraid because he dare not imagine that there is any existence that can answer all his questions and solve all the problems faced by mankind. Even gods may not be able to figure these things out. After all, gods often do not represent powerful ones.
Knowledge only represents strong bloodline.
The stronger the bloodline, the stronger the god. Knowledge is just the icing on the cake. The behavior of most gods is similar to that of illiteracy. For example, the ancestor of dragons, he is considered a god in the universe, but his behavior is very illiterate.
God is not omniscient and omnipotent. The most powerful thing about God is that His local advantages can crush all living beings. Regardless of local advantages, God is also very sparse and ordinary.
Therefore, in the eyes of the patriarch, Anna is a being even more outrageous than God. The elf patriarch can ignore God, but is afraid of an omniscient and omnipotent existence. Because in the face of omniscience and omnipotence, his despicability, his insignificance, his evil, his
There will be no hiding from your ignorance.
Now the patriarch seems to be passively sent to the altar of truth, passively accepting all kinds of knowledge.
"Stop, don't say any more." The patriarch was frightened from the bottom of his heart.
Sister Oka looked at the changes in the patriarch in disbelief, thinking that words were indeed sharper than swords. She thought there was going to be a fight, but she didn't expect that Anna said something that she didn't know was powerful and defeated the patriarch's arrogance. Sister Oka
He was a liberal arts student who taught classical Chinese, and he couldn't understand what Anna said at all.
Anna didn't stop, she seemed to want to answer the questions of the entire universe.
The patriarch no longer understands, but his memory will record all these contents. Once he remembers them, his life will have no meaning.
Why do people live? It is to solve one contradiction after another. Everything will tolerate its own opposite. This is the endogeneity of contradictions.
People live by having contradictions, resolving them, and encountering new contradictions...
To resolve conflicts, you need to learn knowledge and master skills, just like the patriarch did before. His conflict is to explore the truth of the universe and the constraints of ethics and morality.
But when the truth of the universe does not need to be obtained through pursuit, but is continuously instilled into his brain, the contradictions in his body are broken one by one. When he no longer has contradictions, he no longer exists.
Buddhism says that the sea of suffering is boundless and there is no way back, and only liberation is the way out. In fact, the contradictions are endless, and there is no way back. Survival means resolving one contradiction after another until death.
The absence of contradiction is death.
The meaning of existence is to encounter conflicts, find solutions, and resolve conflicts, and what people mainly do in life is to find solutions.
Now the meaning of the patriarch's existence is being taken away by Anna like a spoiler. The patriarch no longer needs any subjective initiative. He is just a carrier of infinite knowledge. His own self-awareness is worthless and has no effect.
Some people may want to ask, why didn't Anna become a puppet of the truth? Because Anna didn't understand these things at all, she just memorized them by rote.
The patriarch is a scientist. Although a lot of knowledge is too advanced and cannot be understood immediately, his logic as a scientist will sort out the knowledge by himself, and he can integrate it with a little study. So to a certain extent, it is the scientific expertise that the patriarch is most proud of that is destroying him.
The patriarch is a selfish scientist, who can be said to be like a dragon. He tramples on ethics and life under the pretext of pursuing the truth, but when the truth conflicts with his own existence, he rejects the truth.
A selfless scientist will never be like this. When the truth conflicts with one's own existence, only a qualified scientist can embrace the truth and give up oneself.
In fact, it is not bad to become a puppet of the truth, but the patriarch cannot do it, because he only regards science as a comparative advantage, a means to gain a sense of superiority for himself, rather than a force to transform the world and benefit life.
"Because you can do it, but we can't, so you can treat us as experimental materials." Anna stopped, looked at the kneeling patriarch coldly and said, "You always use
You claim to be a scientist, and you always say that you should not be blamed. However, these remarks are just to elevate yourself and belittle us. When the real truth appears, when you face the truth of the universe, you are so afraid and afraid.
Resistance, so you don’t love science, you just love the sense of superiority that science brings you.”
The patriarch was speechless, and his fig leaf was mercilessly torn off. At this time, he only felt shocked and frightened, because he was almost dominated by the truth. Now his main contradiction is the vast amount of knowledge he has mastered and his own
The self-consciousness is contradictory, and knowledge has an absolute advantage, and the self-consciousness will face collapse at any time.
Because of the existence of the opposite of the unknown, scientists have the meaning of existence. Without the unknown, there will be no scientists. Only with contradictions can there be life. Without contradictions, there will be no life. The patriarch was deprived of contradictions and was deprived of life.
