Chapter 32 The Illusion of Learning

Xiangshan looked at this thing that looked like a USB flash drive, but had "Magic Realism Carnival" engraved on the side. He reached out to take it and looked at it over and over again.

He found this thing extremely suspicious.

"I don't think I've ever smoked... or should I say I've smoked something high-end like this?" He laughed at himself: "What is this?"

"It's just...a collection of some kind of surreal jokes, very post-modern spam. The taste is relatively bland."

——Gan, it sounds more like tobacco...

Xiang Shan said: "Now all the knights like this thing?"

He asked the solo kill king in the private chat channel: [What would you do if you saw Cui Zu and the others using spam?]

Jardel was startled, and immediately sat upright, pulled the USB flash drive out of his data interface, and said righteously: [Two little bastards, Saussure's Domain has not been fully constructed, how dare you spam them?

Of course I have to disconnect from the internet to think about my past!]

Xiang Shan's expression became even weirder.

Is this an electronic cigarette?

And is your approach really convincing?

Xiang Shan always felt that this thing was weird. He held the spam message in his hand and said, "Everyone is using this thing?"

"Ah? No, of course not. People with insufficient internal strength cannot resist the massive amount of memories pouring into their brains, and can easily get lost in it." Bai Man said: "If you have low internal strength, you can't use it. However, short-term relaxation should be

OK."

"Ah, this, if it's your first time swiping, is there anything you need to pay attention to?"

Xiang Shan had no choice but to ask.

This thing didn't sound very safe. He didn't really want to use it. However, since this thing existed, someone would definitely want to play tricks on it. He had to know what it was.

"ah?"

"I used to... basically never touch anything with a risk of addiction..." Xiang Yatou made two strokes in the air.

He refused all tobacco products and drank only a little alcohol.

The posture of the White Man hero was almost embarrassing: "Ah, this... I'm sorry, I... this should be considered something that is not prohibited by the Dyson Principle. How to put it, no one seems to think that sugar is addictive

'It's like a very serious matter. Everyone consumes a certain amount of sugar every day, and excessive sugar is also harmful. But there is basically no prohibition...that..."

It's like explaining that it's a popular social etiquette after accidentally passing a cigar to your non-smoking boss.

Xiang Shan looked at the U disk-shaped object in his hand and inserted it into his data interface. He did not run it immediately, but checked the properties.

Well……

A...how to say? Many short videos, texts, and pictures are aggregated together in a very complex format to form a file. This is a new format born to facilitate direct reading by the brain.

If you convert it to ancient formats such as MP4, MP3, AVI, JPG, etc., this thing should be hundreds of TB in size.

Xiang Shan said: "Is there any tips for brushing this?"

"Open the senses and cache, suppress the activity of the hippocampus, and do not use superficial thinking to retrieve the contents of the senses." Bai Man said: "Ah, I mean, you don't have to do this just for etiquette..."

Xiangshan quickly understood what this was.

This thing is just like its name on the surface, "junk information". Countless pieces of information that have no meaning and are just to stimulate people's senses are stored in this complex form.

The human memory mechanism is divided into several layers. In order for external stimulation to enter the human mind, it must first pass through the sensory organs-that is, the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and skin. These sensory organs form a kind of "sensory cache."

It's like "the sound you just heard is still echoing in your ears". These "sensory caches" will be mixed and entered into the "cache" of the brain. This is an actual physiological structure.

The sensory cache will be processed into short-term memory in the buffer. These short-term memories will gradually fade away.

Short-term memory will become long-term memory only after deep processing in the brain, including the hippocampus. Long-term memory often lasts a lifetime. It will indeed be forgotten, but it can also be easily recalled.

Ah, but long-term memory can also be modified by the brain. When a person recalls an event from the past many years later, his or her memory is often biased.

But that's a problem on another level.

In addition, although short-term memory fades easily, the human brain can also delay this fade without converting it into long-term memory - this process is called "rehearsal". If there is a piece of information in short-term memory

It will come in handy soon, and the brain will continue to rehearse situations in which the information will come in handy until it actually comes in handy.

The most classic example is "remembering a phone number". If someone gives you a phone number, and you have to dial it quickly or write it down, your brain will continue to rehearse it until you reach this phone number.

"Associated memory" completes the task. After that, the short-term memory about the phone number will disappear quickly.

The brain is also doing everything possible to prevent excessive information from flooding into the memory, causing pressure on information processing.

"Brushing junk information" uses a special technique to block the brain's retrieval of short-term memory and prevent massive amounts of junk information from being converted into long-term memory.

Many times, after a person is exposed to external information, he can feel pleasure from it without converting it into long-term memory. For example, a person does not need to memorize the melody and lyrics of a song before he can enjoy the music from the song.

The beauty of it. After he sees a funny video, he doesn’t need to memorize the video before he can appreciate the humor.

The generation of "pleasure" precedes the generation of long-term memory.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! All the spam information "used" by these knights can directly stimulate human senses.

This junk information can bring people a direct experience. However, successful knights can almost completely block the flow of this junk information into long-term memory. That's why they can enjoy this kind of thing.

To do this, you must be successful in Saussure's realm and complete the reconstruction of "sensory information" and "language processing" - and this step requires at least the internal skills of the compiler or assembly realm.

"I probably understand the truth..." Xiangshan was a little weird: "This thing can be stored in your own prosthetic body, right? The size is not too big, why does it have to be made like this... like a USB flash drive?

?”

Is it just for Cos e-cigarettes?

Bai Man was shocked: "This... normal people wouldn't store this thing in their bodies, would they? It's too easy to get addicted. Even a vigilante will have junk information enter his brain after swiping it thousands of times. In that case,

Internal strength will be affected."

Information addiction is a very serious "heart addiction".

Human beings will feel "uneasy" in a strange environment because they don't know whether there is anything threatening their life in the strange environment. It is precisely because of this that instinct will push him to explore the surroundings, acquire more knowledge, and eliminate

"Unknown" and gain "a sense of security".

Not only humans, many higher animals have this instinct. Many animals will actively explore their surrounding environment.

For people, the "whole world" can be regarded as a "strange external environment". Since ancient times, human beings have been using various methods to eliminate the "unknown" and gain a "sense of peace of mind"

”.

Some people explore the outside world, while others make up stories to comfort themselves.

The human spirit is "hungry for information." However, the human body's instinct has not yet learned to "discriminate information." Therefore, regardless of whether the information is meaningful or not, it will make people feel like "I have learned" and "I know more."

The feeling of "too much" - this feeling is the most serious addiction.

It is certainly not too difficult to resist this temptation. However, if this thing is placed in a memory directly connected to human consciousness, every human consciousness may trigger it...

Few can resist.

Memories will be stored in the brain. This process will produce subtle changes in the brain. Internal strength itself also involves self-adjustment of the brain. Massive amounts of junk information will hinder internal strength at the physiological level.

Bai Man remembered that in the early days, there were knights who made this mistake and suffered setbacks in their internal skills because they were addicted to junk information. Even because their minds were full of meaningless memories, it was harder for those knights to improve their internal skills than ordinary people.

However, it must also be admitted that this illusion of "eliminating the unknown" can greatly relieve anxiety without damaging logical thinking ability.

Although chemicals such as methamphetamine are more effective in "boosting morale", they are really damaging to the brain.

Therefore, many knights will choose "junk messages" to relieve anxiety before war.

"Oh, that's interesting." Xiang Shan glanced at it casually, then pulled it out and put it into the tool compartment on his waist - according to his understanding, this thing is equivalent to the cigarettes that others give you. According to etiquette,

It's best to clip it to your ears or carry it in your pocket. He glanced at Bai Man and said, "Brother Bai Man, you came to me not just to hand over this cigarette... I mean this piece of trash.

Information? Do you have anything else to say?"

"As expected... I mean, you really saw it."

Bai Man waved to Xiang Shan. The two of them walked out into the depths of the cave. Deep in the cave, there was a prosthetic body with half of its body buried underground. The part of this prosthetic body that was exposed to the surface was only two meters, and it had no head.

Taiwanese drones are making final searches.

Bai Man said: "Please, the unknown hero, accept this prosthetic body. Your martial arts should be higher than mine. This prosthetic body equipped with Daxia Tao's star-simulating device may be able to exert greater power in your hands."

effect."
