On the blackboard, the title is written in red chalk:
[There is a hypothesis in the history of philosophy called "brain in a vat".
Imagine a mad scientist takes your brain out of your body and puts it in some kind of life support fluid. There are electrodes inserted into the brain, and the electrodes are connected to a computer that can generate images and sensory signals.
Because all the information you get about the world is processed through your brain, this computer has the ability to simulate your daily experience,
Now, how do you prove that the world around you is real and not some simulation generated by a computer? 】
Before they finished reading the questions, the two of them had a bad premonition. When they finished reading the questions, they felt as if they had fallen into an abyss.
After Han Zi read the question, he felt like he was struck by lightning.
Although this is just a hypothesis, if it is a more developed civilization, such a thing can obviously be done.
In other words, according to this hypothesis, she may be the brain in this hypothesis!
How can she prove that she really exists?
Touch? It can be simulated completely, and pain can also be simulated. Everything she sees, feels, and thinks can be simulated. In this case, how can she know that she is a real person and not a brain in a vat?
A strong despair suddenly enveloped her, and she seemed to be unable to breathe. She was drowned in a cold potion, and there were wires connecting her brain.
"I don't exist?" Han Zi looked shocked and suddenly said this.
Professor Zheng on the podium heard this and laughed sinisterly, as if his purpose had been achieved.
When Wang Wenyan heard Han Zi's words, he first looked at her in shock, then he looked up at Professor Zheng on the podium.
After seeing Professor Zheng's sinister smile, he seemed to suddenly understand something.
Those weird legends are all false.
It was just Professor Zheng who used his knowledge of things that were better than ordinary people to set a trap for them, causing them to fall into the abyss of self-doubt. Once they followed his ideas and fell into it, they could never get out again!
So the way to break the situation is not to follow his train of thought!
He wants them to imagine themselves as brains in a vat, but he doesn't!
Truth is truth and falsehood is false.
Everything is inherently defined by humans. If we must delve into it, even the greatest philosophers and thinkers will fall into the abyss of self-evidence.
If they want to survive in this world, they don't need to doubt the authenticity of this world, because it is meaningless.
If the purpose is to survive, the best way is to abide by the rules that this world has set and follow the rules in order to survive.
As for challenging the rules, that is a matter for great people, and they just want to survive.
So, after the two minutes were up, he stood up on his own initiative, raised his hand and said, "Professor Zheng, let me answer this question."
Professor Zheng raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, as if he did not expect that someone would take the initiative to answer this question.
"Please!" Professor Zheng seemed to be looking forward to it.
"We are the brains in the vat." Wang Wenyan said with certainty.
As soon as he said this, two eyes shot towards him fiercely.
One came from Han Zi, who fell into the abyss of self-evidence, and the other came from Professor Zheng on the podium.
No one has ever dared to answer a question in such a perfunctory manner.
"You'd better give me a perfect explanation." Professor Zheng said sadly, with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Of course, Professor." Wang Wenyan replied fearlessly, and then began his explanation, "We are all brains in a vat, because everything we perceive is perceived by our brains, and we are all just Our brain and other parts of the body are the container of the brain, the container of life,
Therefore, it is meaningless for us to explore whether we are in a real environment or a computer virtual environment, because to the brain, everything is virtual and everything is just what the brain imagines.
Our brains in many tanks have formed a country, a world, and a complete order.
No one can resist this order and can only follow the established rules.
So we are brains in a vat, but this does not affect our survival in this established world and according to established rules. "
After listening to Wang Wenyan's words, Han Zi finally escaped from Professor Zheng's trap.
He's right, isn't he?
Originally, everything was imagined by the brain. The imaginations of countless brains formed this bizarre world.
They are not trapped in a vat, they are trapped in the world…
Professor Zheng seemed to be dissatisfied and wanted to continue to PUA the two of them. He said in a low voice with a livid face: "Strong words and reasoning, this is what you have listened to in so many of my lectures..."
“Tuk tuk tuk!!!”
There was a heavy knock at the door, and the three of them looked at the door. They were two women with sharp eyes.
One of them said: "Excuse me, who are Wang Wenyan and Han Zi?"
The visitors were Shi Ran and Ling Qian. After they found out that these two people were Chen Yusha's friends, they drove to the school in the capital.
After some inquiries, they found this classroom, but the class was obviously over. Unexpectedly, there were still a few people in the classroom, so they asked casually.
"We are!" Han Zi and Wang Wenyan stood up immediately and raised their hands in response. Isn't this the savior?
Professor Zheng still refused to give up. There was never a time when his goal could not be achieved.
He shouted at the two people at the door: "Which class are you from? So rude? Didn't you see that you are still giving lectures?"
Hearing this, Shi Ran said: "I thought get out of class was over."
While talking, she and Ling Qian both took out their IDs and said, "Police, let's find two classmates to find out some information."
Hearing this, Professor Zheng could only give up.
"Professor Zheng...then we..." Han Zi tremblingly asked Professor Zheng, who had a gloomy face on the podium.
Professor Zheng waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and listen to the class carefully next time!"
"Okay Professor Zheng!"
The two responded in unison, then quickly packed up their things, walked out of the classroom, and followed the two police officers to a secluded cafe on campus.
Along the way, the two of them didn't ask any unnecessary questions and just followed the policemen.
In order to prevent the two from colluding in confession, Shi Ran and Ling Qian interrogated the two separately, with Shi Ran in charge of Han Zi and Ling Qian in charge of Wang Wenyan.
After entering the cafe, the two of them were called away separately.
