I Am Not A Mage Lord

Chapter 187: Metaphysics, I think, therefore I am

, The fastest update I am really not the latest chapter of Faye!

However, contrary to what was expected, the other party did not respond.

It seems that this "Linqi" who occupies the nest of a bird knows better than him the reason why the villain died of a lot of talk, and even a word of nonsense is not controlling the energy flow around, dispersing it, and controlling many wizards. Apprentices.

The whole step is one step at a time, and the other party is fully understood from beginning to end.

Lynch also gradually realized that in addition to the paralysis of his consciousness, his connection with his body was getting weaker.

Every call to the body is like a kite with a broken shaft, which can only be seen far away.

Until the feedback ceases, the contact with the outside world is completely cut off.

When the memory palace became dark without the slightest tone, and became a real island and eternal prison in the sea of ​​consciousness, a reply came from the void.

"you say?"

At this time, the "absolutely rational personality" has completely mastered his body, but it is still as stable as an old dog, as if the chessboard must go to the checkmate step before he is willing to start acting.

After perceiving the weakening of his containment power and recovering his thinking somewhat, Lynch asked back.

"Although you have completely mastered the body, I am still walking freely in this memory palace at this moment, which shows that although you can use the memory palace's abilities, you have not yet achieved the level of knowledge."

"Oh?" There seemed to be a trace of interest in the void.

Although he activated his rational personality in front of the public, Lynch was not the kind of person waiting for rescue by nature.

Xixi in the world is all Lilai. The world's hustle and bustle are all for profit.

In his previous life, he was a relative who was proficient in eating, drinking, and gambling. He didn’t teach anything, but he taught Lynch one thing—there is no hard gift in the world, and the only reason why it can’t be given is that others look down on it, right? Way.

Similarly, as long as you hit the weakness of the "gate of truth", the opponent will also dance with you.

Since the gate of truth can only occupy a position with its own consent, it means that it is also following a certain "process" and will also abide by the rules.

"So, I bet with you on the ultimate control of the Memory Palace. According to them, your time is also very tight. I completely use the Memory Palace as a bargaining chip to gamble with you."

"My bet here is the control of your body?" Void voice sneered. "But your abacus is too good. The question is, why do I need to agree?"

"Very simple." Lynch's tone became firmer and firmer.

"Just bet, I know what you don't know."

"You are so confident, I can see everything you think in the sea of ​​consciousness, and they are reflected on the ground and written on your face." The voice in the sky mocked.

He himself is the largest collection of knowledge in the world.

Lynch's move was equivalent to an outright fight against the landlord, and he was too self-conscious.

"Just one word, bet or not, you don't need to be such a mother-in-law." Lynch mocked.

It is true that the other party may answer questions that he does not understand.

But Lynch is perverted, unless he specifically looks back, he will not recall his own problems for a while.

As long as he doesn't know it, it is impossible for the other party to judge.

"Good!" Suddenly the other party shouted.

Lynch nodded silently.

For now, the opponent is all hooked, and the rest is up to his own performance.

Once an old computer encounters some infinite loops, it will become very stuck, and the entire program occupies all the operating resources of the computer.

And to do this, nothing is more suitable than "thought experiment."

Once Master Luo Tianqing, relying on a thought experiment of "Roco's Snake Demon", easily occupied a key position.

Now Lynch also needs this.

After taking a deep breath, he slowly calmed down and said.

"If there is a crazy mage, take a person's brain from the human body and put it in a container with nutrient solution. The nerve endings of the brain are connected to this ritual spell, and the spell will also send messages to the brain according to the setting, so He maintains all normal hallucinations."

"It seems that the people, things, and sky in front of you all exist, and you can also input or intercept your own memories and feelings, and you can feel that you have just heard such absurd words."

"The hypothesis is, how can you be sure that you are not in this predicament?"

From ancient times to the present, more than one philosopher has considered this problem, it has many thought models——

Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly, Hinduism Mayer, Plato's "Crypt Fable", Descartes' "Demon" and "I think so I am"...

Lynch couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he finished speaking.

Putnam put forward this famous "brain in a tank" thought experiment in "Reason, Truth, and History" in order to refute skepticism and agnosticism.

On the contrary, later generations believe that this example provides a new argument for the two.

But precisely because of its fascinating features, many movies have been extended, such as "The Matrix", "Source Code", "Inception"...

Lynch reduced the frequency of his thinking to a minimum, not even thinking about it.

"Your question is very interesting."

Suddenly, the voice of the void became rhythmic and full of rhythm, like the sound of a piano.

Lynch wiped a cold sweat.

There is no way, the first wave of "Dreamland Invasion", the second wave is the path of the wizard to challenge the "authenticity of the glass castle", and the third wave is the "last day of the earth" that the opponent pulls him back.

No matter how stupid Lynch is, it is hard not to think of this example, but it is very relevant.

Skepticism is a school of Greek philosophy that was founded around the beginning of the 3rd century BC and lasted until the 3rd century AD.

Skepticism neither affirms nor denies whether a person can discover the truth, holding a skeptical attitude.

Therefore, skepticism is a doctrine that doubts whether the objective world and objective truth exist and can be understood.

Direct sword refers to the existence of the "gate of truth"!

If you come to get my body, I will demolish your hometown!

When Lin Qi watched the war of Warcraft, it was this kind of desperate exchange of play. At this moment, facing the unrivaled existence of the Gate of Truth, he exerted this kind of tenacity to the extreme.

"Then can you tell me what you think?"

"Your question is actually the ultimate question between the change system and the illusion system."

The matter is very important, and the gate of truth seems to have a little more self-doubt, no longer the original firmness.

Lynch finally took a breath.

In the eyes of skepticism, things like physics, astronomy, and chemistry, because they exist in the external world, are likely to be essentially non-existent things. Just like the brain in a tank, they are all "depicted" things. Naturally, they are just The object is false.

Just like the root of the problem, it must be traced back to the very beginning of everything.

What Lynch asked was no longer a "brain in a tank" question.

It is a question of what is meant by "existence".

And metaphysics is the study of the origin of the world, so it is also the first philosophy.

Thales believes that the basic component of the universe is water. (The first philosopher in the West)

Anaximeni thought it was air.

Heraclitus thought it was fire. (The founder of dialectics proposed that "one cannot step into the same river twice")

Zenofernes thinks it is soil.

Empedokler played a trick and put forward the four-element theory of "water, fire, earth, and air" after mixing.

Democristi relies on speculation that the world is composed of the most basic indivisible units, and the words used are the "atoms" of later generations.

Plato then divided the world into a "sensory world" and a "ideal world". The horse in reality will die, but the horse in the human brain will never change.

After that, Aristotle was born, watching everyone have been messing around in the tangible world, pointing directly to the source of the problem——

What is existence?

What is the ultimate reason for existence?

Aristotle's research on matter is sorted into physics, and his thinking about existence is sorted into metaphysics.

Lynch raised his eyes and looked straight ahead.

After Aristotle, the entire development of "metaphysics" stagnated until the Frenchman Descartes, who was well-known among ordinary people for his "heart-shaped curve", formally proposed——

To understand existence, we must first understand how we perceive the world.

Since then, classical philosophy has officially moved to modern philosophy.

Lin Qi gradually sorted out the entire passage of the past in his mind, especially how the whole argumentation process of "Meditations on First Philosophy" went from proving "I exist" to proving "external existence".

"Can you tell me? If it is valuable, I can return the right to use it to you, and even give you a higher gift." The voice in the void said, as if it was also looking forward to it.

"If your concept is correct, your breakthroughs in the Transformation System and the Illusion System in the future will be an incomparable breakthrough speed. Even a glimpse of the scenery above the legend may not be impossible. This is also the gift of magic to you. ."

It awaits some unusual insights.

And Lin Qi's eyes looking at the void ~lightnovelpub.net~ gradually became sharp and firm.

What kind of change type, what kind of illusion type, what kind of legend, he looked behind his head.

He seemed to have returned to the broken moon of high school. Before the division of arts and sciences, he looked at political books and was very curious. He bit the bullet and started nibbling on Russell's "History of Western Philosophy" and then raid all parties...

Like cicadas outside the window, the branches swayed, and the fan above the head was blowing hot wind, fearing to get up and fall down.

Lynch spoke slowly.

"After doubting everything, the only thing that cannot be doubted is the doubt itself. If I doubt that I am doubting, it still means that I am doubting. Therefore, the doubt itself cannot be doubted."

"I suspect that I am thinking. I can have no body, but I can't be without thinking, so—"

"Cogito ergo sum!"

Lynch yelled loudly.
