Chapter 308 Return to the Illusion
What is "thinking"?
To apply an explanation taken online:
Thinking is a generalization and direct or indirect reaction process to objective things.
Yes, this is very official, so few people can understand it.
Then to translate it into a language of poverty is: you know what you are doing.
How about it, is it much simpler and clearer all of a sudden?
However, even if you understand its meaning, it is still a difficult question to answer, because the definition of this word is given by humans, and now we have to discuss it again. It is like using dialectics to explain dialectics, and there is no answer.
Then, let's change the question.
Do you think the "thinking" we understand is correct?
Do thinking need a carrier? Do individual differences need to be distinguished? Do communication channels need?
Are these too difficult?
Then change to another batch. For example, does cats have thinking? You said there is because they should know what they are doing. Very good, so what about caterpillars? Does it know what they are doing? Maybe the two factions of thinking theory and instinct theory will have to argue, so what about wood? What about stones? What about soil?
You see, we have a lot of room to discuss, right? But in order to save some unnecessary saliva, I'd better give the answer directly
That's: No answer!
Yes, no matter how many people are discussing, how intense, or how sufficient the arguments are, in the end, people with the same concepts can only gather in a bunch of people, cursing everyone else, talking about heresy and scum, and in the end they keep talking to themselves, there will be no result.
It's like the "collective consciousness" I want to explain next.
Although some people will definitely say that he understands what that means, it is never possible for him to truly understand.
Because he couldn't even understand the pain of his neighbor's little toe.
No one can truly understand the thinking of another individual
Oh, by the way, I just want to lead to the next sentence, that is, creatures with "collective thinking" can do it!
How about it, isn't it amazing?
Species that have this way of thinking do not have very clear individuals, such as bees. Although they are one by one, some collect honey and some are building nests, they do not know their existence, but share one or more ideas, just like the sphincter of your anus has broken the last bit of residual excrement, and your hand picks up a piece of paper to wipe your butt. They all act for a common thinking, and there will be no situation where the hand suddenly becomes unhappy and pokes the butt.
So, what if it is implemented in the bee colony? If you beat a bee, then the bees in the entire bee colony will scream: "Fuck! Who beat me?" Then they rush out to find you.
In this collective, the consciousness of each individual is in a hive, and they will be connected to each other. If two consciousnesses trigger each other at this time, then you can communicate with another consciousness, that is, you can become another person, a real person, live his life, have his ideas, and the same is true for the other person, live your life, have your ideas, but you are still independent people, you are still you, he is still him.
Then, if you zoom in on this number dozens or hundreds of times, it will become a so-called "collective consciousness".
Well, although it is a bit difficult to understand, that's about it.
This is obvious. At this moment, Bai Xiong, Song Xuan and Chen Xiao were trapped under the control of this collective consciousness.
They are the so-called "ants" that have not been seen yet. They remove human independent thinking from themselves and place them in a common world of thinking, and use another set of thinking to occupy the ability of their body, thus driving them to work.
It's like using your own hands and ass
Almost done!
Let's go back to this moment again.
After Bai Xiong heard Chen Xiao's words.
"A very bad premonition? What is it?" he asked in a voice.
Chen Xiao sorted out his thoughts: "In your notes and I emphasize not to attack the ants, to be honest. I have a very bad premonition when I see the scars on your head." As he said that, he pointed to the other party's arm: "Look, your ion shield is still there!"
Bai Xiong was stunned for a moment, and he immediately thought of something, quickly clenched his fists, and the ion shield on his arm popped out with a "bang"
However, the shield surface, which was originally glowing with blue light, was dim and was penetrated by a huge gap!
"It's true!" Chen nodded with a smile and said, "When I saw such a wide tunnel, I thought, if the ants were so big, then how powerful would they have?"
Bai Xiong looked at the solidest shield in the C-level area for a while and was at a loss.
People all know how amazing it is to convert an ant's power into proportions, but for thousands of years, humans have still habitually compared an ant to weak.
Because people all know that ants are always that big.
No one knows what it would look like if an ant was really enlarged to the same size as a human.
However, it seems that the white bear already knows it, and the ion shield and the scar on his head also clearly told him what he had done with the ants and what the consequences were.
Bai Xiong took a deep breath and calmed himself down: "Continue, what do you think about the food during this period?"
"Oh, you talk about food." Chen Xiao shrugged: "Although I don't care, you definitely won't be willing to listen."
Bai Xiong frowned, and his expression meant that he had thought of a very bad answer.
"You mean"
"Yes, the protein residues in the digestive tract of ordinary insects are very abundant, and fat will be almost perfectly preserved, that is," said the
"Okay!" Bai Xiong immediately stopped the other party: "I understand!"
“In fact, they are very nutritious, such as fly feces.”
"Tell me how you want to escape from here!" Bai Xiong interrupted Chen Xiao's words again.
Chen Xiao spread his hands angrily: "Okay, when it comes to escaping and collecting this information, I think it's better to rescue Song Xuan first."
"How to save it?" Bai Xiong asked very simply. At this time, he would listen carefully to Chen Xiao's thoughts and count the possibility.
"It's very simple. We are now yelling and attracting the big ants. I just want to see them. Then they find that we woke up and will definitely use some way to control us again."
"But then you and I will reassign memories."
