Chapter 240 Brain in a vat

"They will grow up in a brand new environment. The influence of the environment on people is decisive. Those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. The cultural environment in which newborns live will be shaped by us!"

"They are like blank sheets of paper, with blank mindsets and cultures, and it will be up to us to fill them in with beautiful content."

So these people can only attack from aspects such as "inhumanity", such as "not enjoying maternal love since childhood", "children without parents are so pitiful", "what should be done if they develop anti-social personality", etc.

Of course, Zhang Ran ignored these rumors.

The most difficult thing in the world is to instill the thoughts in my mind into yours. Even if he has huge reputation and absolute authority, it is impossible to convince everyone.

For such people, just ignore them and be done with it. They can't change anything.

If human civilization wants to go further, it must overcome the "past" thinking. This step is necessary.

In the near future, all children will be on the same starting line, enjoy the same quality of education and the same life, and achieve true fairness at the starting point level.

How they develop in the future is their own business and has nothing to do with their parents.

The next time passed very quickly. The internal socialized parenting experiment was a long-term project. It took 21 months for the baby to hatch, so there wouldn't be much success in a short while.

And changes in social trends of thought take a lot of time. Ten years, fifty years, or even a hundred years are not too long.

Therefore, Zhang Ran mainly focused on external affairs.

The maintenance project of the warp engine is finally over after a year-long break!

This means that the Oriental Rock can set off to another destination at any time. Even in the turbulence of space and time in the high-dimensional universe, it can persist for a long time.

On the other hand, cooperation with the Blue and Gold Era Alliance is also in full swing.

At present, the biggest point of cooperation is not only at the industrial level, but also in scientific undertakings and cultural exchanges...

Research on the brain in the vat is a top priority!

More than one billion brains in a vat are dying one after another within a year due to improper maintenance.

Nearly 30% died within one year, which means 300 million people died! This number is really shocking. It is not the death of simple livestock, but the death of intelligent creatures.

The death of these brains in the vat naturally brings huge psychological pressure to all scientific researchers.

However, with the continuous accumulation of data and experience, coupled with the hard work of a large number of scientific researchers, the conditions of these experimental subjects have gradually stabilized.

However, there is still a long way to go before the brain-in-a-tank technology is truly mature...

The brain of intelligent life is really a black box-like existence. After inputting some bioelectrical signals, it will output some bioelectrical signals.

Due to deficiencies at the theoretical level, it is difficult for even third-level civilizations to figure out how these brains work.

Therefore, the best method so far is to simulate a virtual scene according to the framework built by the ghost body, so that these "brains in a vat" can feel the fact that they are still alive.

Otherwise, they will suffer from widespread psychological collapse because they cannot perceive the outside world for a long time.

"As we all know, with only one brain, it cannot perceive the outside world. It has no eyes, nose, ears, or skin, but it is still alive. After losing the five senses, the brain will enter an idling state... We will describe this state as Call it the 'tranquility' state."

Ms. Lin Qiuyue, a well-known artificial intelligence expert, spoke on the stage: "If you open one eye and close the other, you will be able to experience the feeling of 'nothing', which is complete nothingness."

"So if you want to completely crack the brain-in-a-vat technology, it must be connected with the philosophical tree. That is, the study of the philosophical normative system has become inevitable."

"We need to think about another difficult problem, what is the world we perceive? What is existence? There is a very big difference between the concepts of existence between Heidegger and Sartre. Heidegger denies existence between phenomena. Sartre is a being who denies existence between appearance and essence..."

Zhang Ran stared at the content on the screen dumbfounded. It sounded like a tongue twister... What the hell are you talking about?

Once again more appeared on the screen.

"...At present, we define existence as two parts: real existence and virtual existence."

"Real things (t=l/)∧(Δt=0) Real things (t0\u003cl/)∧(t=l/)∧(Δt\u003e0)

Spiritual things (t<l/)∧(Δt=0) Spiritual things (t0≠l/)∧(t≠l/)∧(Δt≠0)..."

"Here, real existence (reality) is regarded as virtual, virtual existence (spirit) is real, and composite is the category of existence. This is because all our knowledge is spiritual things, so for us, the spirit of 'virtual existence' is a There is a 'real' known existence, but the reality that is constantly being updated is always a 'virtual' unknown existence."

"Is the world really what we see? For example, in a certain group, there is red-green blindness. If red and green are reversed in someone's eyes, can he really tell that he is color blind? He may You never know, and it’s hard for others to tell.”

There were quite a few aliens in the audience, perhaps thousands at first glance, as well as hundreds of human experts, a dozen Green Star scientists, and some senior government officials also listening to the report.

However, what she said was a bit strange and made people a little panicked. Half of the people couldn't understand it at all, and only a few professionals knew exactly what she was talking about.
