Consciousness is a very vague term. Its boundaries are derived from "self" and "thinking". It carries the flavor of "subconscious" and represents an established decision.
We all know that a long time ago, before the Dark World appeared, and it was still in the realistic period of human civilization recorded in history, human beings were divided into two types, one was called Homo sapiens and the other was called Neanderthals. Special person.
During that ancient period, Neanderthals were larger and more muscular than Homo sapiens, and more importantly, their brains were no worse than those of Homo sapiens.
Even a three-year-old child with a little understanding of evolution and species evolution can judge that in this case, Neanderthals had every reason to exterminate Homo sapiens, and it would be easier for them to survive.
But could it be said that we are descendants of Neanderthals?
If not, then why did Homo sapiens eventually rule the earth and become the mainstream of humanity today?
The essence of existence is survival, not to mention the nature where the weak can eat the strong. Since ancient times, there have been many racial wars for survival. Even in the era when Homo sapiens ruled the world, the idea that people who are not our own ethnic groups must have different minds is still engraved in our minds. In the bones.
Not to mention Neanderthals and Homo sapiens, these two are more separated and differentiated than "what race".
Theoretically speaking, when Neanderthals are stronger than us in terms of strength and physical fitness, we have to rely on our brains to win. This is also a truth that everyone understands. The reason why Homo sapiens is Homo sapiens is because it is smart!
But the reality is that the brains of Neanderthals are no worse than those of Homo sapiens.
We couldn’t win a fight, we couldn’t pass an exam, and we were crushed to death.
How to play?
How to fight?
But the reality is that Neanderthals became extinct tens of thousands of years ago.
From the perspective of human history, it was Homo sapiens that exterminated the Neanderthals.
Homo sapiens, what do we rely on?
In a grand sense, it’s “faith”!
To put it in plain language, "One really dares to brag, and the other really dares to believe"!
Tens of thousands of years ago, as long as a homo sapiens picked up a round warm sphere at the foot of a mountain, no matter whether it was a sheep dung egg or a saber-toothed tiger's daddy, he only had to shout: "This is our god! As long as you believe it Its existence means that no matter which tribe you belong to, whether you are male, female, old or young, we are all brothers and sisters!
God will protect us in our battle and victory! victory! victory! "
From then on, this sheep dung ball was passed on from one person to another, and the more it spread, the more evil it became. Everyone added a little bit of their own description of it.
Let me tell you: "Did you know? So and so picked up a particularly round ball! That is our God! If you can believe in Him, your old cold leg will be healed!"
You tell others: "Did you know? So and so picked up a particularly round ball! That's our god! That round ball made all his broken limbs grow back! I saw it with my own eyes!"
If we continue to pass it on, what unrivaled power, what invincible power, what makes a child healthy and strong, what makes a man remain majestic...
Normally, the cohesion of a group can only be maintained among one hundred to two hundred people. If there are more, it will be difficult to trust each other. Even if it is a tribe, " There are such existences as "Erwuzi" and "Old Sixth".
But the ancestors of Homo sapiens relied on bragging to easily gather tens of thousands of people. They worshiped and believed that a sheep dung ball was a "god", so naturally no one would think about "Can I do it?" What about becoming a god?"
After all, there is no way for a person to become a ball of sheep dung.
But at this time, because of their clever brains, the Neanderthals understood the principle of "don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors", so they directly beat to death the Neanderthals who coincidentally said that the triangular cow daddy was a god. .
Still saying, your whole family is a daddy.
At this time, Homo sapiens enshrined sheep dung balls, and tens of thousands of people shouted: "Look at my power, I am invincible!" They rushed over and gave them to hundreds of people.
Neanderthals were wiped out.
No matter how good you are as a special forces soldier, I will kill you like a few Autobots.
Moreover, since Homo sapiens left that hot continent, more than 90% of species have become extinct. As the saying goes, we eat whatever we see and gnaw on whatever we see. This is how we will have a future.
But don’t all of the above exist in people’s imaginations? No matter how clear the historical records are and how abundant the theories are, no one of us has really seen the scene when the Neanderthals were exterminated more than 20,000 years ago.
But after I said this, you also believed this. It is precisely because we believe that it is real that it is real.
Because of belief and imagination, Homo sapiens has come to this day from ancient times.
Princes, generals and ministers, divine power changed, sparks and lightning along the way.
But also because of blind belief, because self-righteousness is imagination, sinful ignorance has become a gene engraved in the bones.
Ignorance and blind belief can give a race hope for survival, but can also become the cause of genocide.
Everything has two sides. When we rely on its excellent side to develop, we will inevitably lead to the abyss of degradation because of its bad side.
...
Chen An, who has lost all his "past", is not special just because he is Chen An. Just like no matter how many "buffs" he carries, it cannot change the fact that he is a human being.
Yang Xin, who fell into despair due to ignorance, became a weirdo in the dark world.
It was born out of the badness of ignorance and became a shadow reflected into the darkness.
Now, it is even more important to bring out the darkness behind the light, so that Chen An and others are swallowed up by the ignorance deep in their own genes.
The morning light emerged, and a flash of white fish belly blinked playful eyes in the sky. In the sky, the looming but clearly visible handwriting rules were still laughing in the clouds.
Chen An slowly opened his eyes.
What comes into view is a roof made of thatch, supported by some moldy beams. A slightly cold smell of decay enters the nostrils.
"Where is this...?" Chen An blinked. He felt that his mind was no longer dizzy, so he sat up and found that he had just been lying on the bed. Next to him was a small clay stove with a fire burning inside.
Next to her, an old woman wrapped in a dark blue grid-striped cotton-padded jacket was taking a nap. When she saw Chen An woke up, she jumped up and looked at Chen An nervously and concernedly.
"who I am?"
Chen An's pupils were a little dazed. He was very awake, but he didn't remember anything.
The power of "forgetting" is no longer effective, because Chen An has completed the closed loop of "forgetting" and forgotten all the past.
As for Yang Xin, Chen An cannot completely forget everything, because Chen An like that is equivalent to spiritual death, which is against the rules, and Yang Xin will be obliterated.
Therefore, Chen An now has a certain memory.
However, these memories do not have any skeleton to support them. Only human instinct keeps him "alive".
Just "alive".
Chen An will know when it's cold, when it's hot, when he's hungry he needs to eat, and when he's hungry he needs to go to the toilet.
He can speak and understand languages, but everything that has nothing to do with survival and long-standing instincts has long been abandoned by memory.
"Goudan, you finally woke up."
The aunt's lips quivered, and her eyes full of vicissitudes of time filled with tears. She eagerly grabbed Chen An's hand, her voice trembling slightly.
【Goudan? Is this my name? 】
Chen An was stunned. He shrank back in fear, but did not break free from the hand held by the aunt. He felt that the aunt's hand was rough and it hurt a little, but it also felt warm.
"Baby...you don't remember, you don't even remember."
There were a few tears in the aunt's eyes. She slapped the back of Chen An's hand and her voice choked with sobs: "Son, you were wronged. It's okay. Mom is by your side. Everything has passed. It has passed."
【mother? 】
Chen An's heart trembled. He didn't recognize the person in front of him, but he clearly felt that the word "mother" seemed to contain a kind of magic, a kind of reassuring magic.
It's like a kind of intimacy that can make people completely trust, make people relax, and make people rely on instinctively.
"mother?"
Chen An spoke softly, looking at the aunt blankly.
When the aunt heard this, the corners of her mouth raised. She smiled so happily, as if she was as happy as seeing her own son learn to speak for the first time.
"Goudan." The aunt said.
"mother?"
"Goudan!"
"mother!"
Chen An also laughed.
He was also very at ease.
Very, very happy.
