Waking up, a wisp of black smoke flickered before his right eye.
Is it floaters?
The black smoke transformed into a number—0%.
Has it mutated?
The black smoke transformed ...
Even if he really committed suicide, the loss would not be great.
But at this moment, five black smokes condensed in front of him.
0%!
no?
Isn't this a dream?!
100%! .
Zhou Buzhou stood there in a daze.
If it's not a dream, then in what other situations would you think you are moving but in fact you haven't moved at all?
What other circumstances could lead to such a situation?
Zhou Buzhou was puzzled.
At this moment, Zhou Buzhou's university major made him think of another possibility...
And that possibility... is one of the major paradoxes in philosophy - the brain in a vat!
According to the brain in a vat paradox, a person (assuming it's you) undergoes surgery by an evil scientist, and their brain is cut out of their body and placed in a vat filled with a nutrient solution to keep the brain alive.
The nerve endings in his brain are then connected to a computer, which transmits information to the brain according to a program so that he can maintain the illusion that everything is completely normal.
Thus, to this brain, it seems as if people, objects, and the sky still exist, and its own movements and bodily sensations can be input. This brain can also input or intercept memories (intercepting memories of brain surgery and inputting various environments and daily life that the brain may have experienced). It can even be input with code, and "feel" that it is reading a funny and absurd text.
Thinking about the weirdness of the brain in the jar, Zhou Buzhou couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
The most important thing is that the brain in a vat cannot be proven by itself, because you only have a brain, only brain marrow. Everything you know and feel is an illusion created by your brain after receiving false information...
This is a perfect illusion, an illusion without any flaws!
but……
There is a right eye!
Zhou Buzhou immediately looked towards his right eye: Is it because I have become a brain in a vat that I think I am moving when I am not moving?
66%.
17%.
89%.
94%.
Not 100%!
But it’s not zero percent!
This means that Zhou Buzhou is not a brain in a vat now, but he is indeed in a situation similar to that of a brain in a vat.
All he felt was a false sensation given to him by something deliberately obeying his will.
At the same time, in addition to giving him this false feeling, that is, an illusion, that thing also denied or refused to carry out all his ideas.
So, he thought he moved, but he didn't!
Zhou Buzhou felt a little flustered at the moment.
