Vol 2 Chapter 2695: Sacrifice of truth

Do not listen or listen, the king chants the Scriptures, the patriarch covers his ears and does not want to listen to those who can solve the questions in his heart, the problems in his mind, those scientific and technological problems that were not solved eight hundred years ago, and the unresolved law verification...
Those problems that the elven patriarch could not solve at all are now all spoken from Anna. If he were a true scientist who had heard the truth and died, he would definitely cry with joy.
The author of "Three-Body" has written the story of the Altar of Truth, that is, a super powerful alien came to the earth and prevented human beings from exploring the universe, because exploring the universe is a very dangerous move, so they specifically prevent backward civilizations from dying. . However, a group of scientists on the earth said that if they do not die, they cannot explore the truth of the universe. What is the meaning of their lives? At this time, a scientist named Ding Yi came up with an idea that aliens can tell them the truth of the universe model and then kill them.
Even if the dead knew the truth, it was too late to practice, which was to satisfy their curiosity and let them die safely.
So the aliens set up the altar of truth. The function of this altar is to inform the earth people of the truth and then sacrifice them. Truth is the model of the universe that encompasses everything. Someone may ask, since the exploration of the truth will lead to the destruction of the universe, how does the alien civilization know the truth of the universe? Could it be that the state officials were only allowed to set fires and the people were not allowed to light the lights, and the aliens frantically studied the truth but used safety as an excuse to suppress backward civilization.
Really not, the truth of the alien universe model is that a dead civilization in the previous universe sent it to future generations at the cost of the destruction of the universe. The determination of the dead civilization is the same as the earthlings on the altar of truth. The truth is at all costs. So they exhausted everything to destroy the universe to create a model of the universe. It is estimated that it was a momentary grasp of the truth, and then the universe was gone, but they sent the truth to the next universe through a time capsule. The aliens did not discover it by themselves. He discovered the truth, but discovered the time capsule, obtained the universe model from it, and learned the danger of exploring the truth of the universe. From then on, he began to prevent backward civilizations from dying in the entire universe.
People on earth stepped up to the altar of truth, and any questions about mathematics, physics, and chemistry could be answered. After knowing the answer, there would be ten seconds aftertaste, and then the dog would take it.
But there is only one problem that aliens don't know, and that is the purpose of the universe. This question is not within the scope of science. It belongs to philosophy. How did aliens know, because the universe was born in the big bang, and no one has said that the explosion of the universe must have a goal.
So aliens cannot answer this question.
Now Anna is like an alien who announces the truth on the altar of truth, and all kinds of knowledge are endlessly spoken, so that the elven patriarch is about to collapse.
This picture seems to be Tang Seng chanting a tight curse on Monkey King.
The patriarch was terrified, because he didn't dare to imagine any existence that could answer all his questions and solve all the problems faced by mankind, even the gods might not be able to figure out these things. After all, many times God does not represent powerful knowledge, but only represents powerful blood.
A strong bloodline is a strong god, knowledge is just icing on the cake, and most gods behave like illiterate people. For example, the ancestor of the dragon, he is considered a in the universe, but his behavior is very illiterate.
God is not omniscient and omnipotent. The most powerful thing about God is that his local superiority can crush all living beings. Regardless of local advantages, God is also very sparse and common.
So Anna is a more outrageous existence than a in the eyes of the patriarch. The elven patriarch can not put God in his eyes, but is afraid of an all-knowing and omnipotent existence. Because in the face of omniscience and omnipotence, his despicableness, his insignificance, his evil, and his ignorance will be invisible.
Now the patriarch is passively sent to the altar of truth, passively accepting all kinds of knowledge.
"Stop, don't say any more." The patriarch was terrified from the bottom of his heart.
Sister Gang looked at the change of the patriarch incredulously, thinking that the language was really sharper than the sword. She thought she would definitely have to fight, but she didn't expect Anna to say something unclear and severe, which would defeat the arrogance of the patriarch. Sister Gang is a liberal arts student and teaches ancient Chinese, so she can't understand what Anna is saying.
Anna didn't stop, she seemed to answer the entire universe's questions.
The patriarch can no longer understand, but his memory will record all these contents. Once he remembers it, then his life will have no meaning.
Why do people live? It is to resolve contradictions one after another. Everything and everything will tolerate their own opposites. This is the endogenous nature of contradiction.
To live is to have contradictions, resolve contradictions, and encounter new contradictions...
To resolve contradictions, one needs to learn knowledge and master skills. Just like the patriarch did before, his contradiction is to explore the truth of the universe and the constraints of ethics and morality.
But when the truth of the universe does not need to be obtained through pursuit, but is constantly instilled into his brain, the contradictions in his body are also broken one by one, and when he has no contradictions, there will be no existence.
Buddhism said that the boundless sea of ​​suffering is the shore, and only liberation is the way out. In fact, there are boundless contradictions, and there is no turning back. Survival is to resolve each contradiction until death.
No contradiction is death.
The meaning of existence lies in encountering contradictions, discovering solutions, and resolving contradictions, and the main thing a person does in his life is to find solutions.
Now the significance of the patriarch's existence is being taken away by Anna's spoilers. The patriarch no longer needs to have any subjective initiative. He is just a carrier of infinite knowledge. His own self-consciousness is no longer worthwhile and has no effect.
Someone may ask, why didn't Anna become a puppet of truth? Because Anna didn't understand these things at all, she just memorized them by rote.
The patriarch is a scientist. Although a lot of knowledge is too advanced to be understood immediately, his logic as a scientist will sort out the knowledge by himself, and he will be able to understand it with a little learning. So to some extent, the scientific expertise of the patriarch is destroying him.
The patriarch is a selfish scientist, who can be described as Ye Gonghaolong, trampling on ethics and life under the pretext of pursuing the truth, but when the truth contradicts his own existence, he rejects the truth.
Selfless scientists will never do this. When the truth is in contradiction with their own existence, only those who embrace the truth and give up themselves are qualified scientists. UU reading www.uukａnshu.com
In fact, it's good to be a puppet of truth, but the patriarch can't do it, because he only regards science as a comparative advantage, a means to gain a sense of superiority, rather than a power to transform the world and benefit life.
"Because you can do it, but we can't do it, so you can use us as experimental materials." Anna stopped, looking at the kneeling patriarch coldly and said: "You always use I am a scientist who claims to be himself, and always say that I should not be blamed. However, these remarks are only to promote yourself and debase us. When the true truth appears, when you face the truth of the universe, you are so afraid and afraid. Resist, so you are not passionate about science, just the superiority that science brings to you."
The patriarch was speechless, and his fig leaf was ripped off mercilessly. At this moment, he only felt shocked, only fear, because he was almost dominated by the truth. Now his main contradiction is the knowledge and his own. The self-consciousness is contradictory, and knowledge occupies an absolute advantage, the self-consciousness will face collapse at any time.
Because there is the opposite of the unknown, the scientist has the meaning of existence, and there is no scientist without the unknown. There is life only when there is contradiction, and there is no life without contradiction. The patriarch was deprived of contradictions and deprived of his life.
