1. (S01E01, 00:15:22, on the way back to the police station from the scene of the crime, Rust and Marty are talking in the car since religion).
Rust: Look the Consider the I myself a realist, All right, But in Philosophical Terms, the I'm the What's Called a pessimist..
listen, I consider myself a realist, well, a philosophical point of view to Say, I am the so-called pessimist.
Marty: Um, okay. What's that mean? Uh... What's that mean?
Rust: Means I'm bad at parties. Means, I'm not good at socializing with people.
Marty: Let me tell you. You ain't great outside of parties either
.
Rust: I think human consciousness was a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-Aware. Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are creatures that should not exist by natural law.
Rust thought for 3 seconds: I think human His self-awareness is an unfortunate mistake in the evolutionary process. We have become too self-conscious. Nature has created another side separated from itself. According to the laws of nature, our kind of creatures should not exist.
[Here, rust talks about the relationship between man and nature. My understanding:
1. "Self-awareness" is just a bug in the evolution of nature. We take our "self-awareness" too seriously.
2. We slaughter livestock, cut down trees, we try to transform nature, we feel that our thoughts and knowledge of all things are very great, and we feel that our life and wisdom are the miracles of creation. But for the universe, these Ps are not. In front of the universe, we are no different from bugs.
3. As far as nature is concerned, the role of human beings is more like a destroyer, arrogant, standing on the opposite side of nature, so according to the laws of nature, humans should not exist. (So mankind will certainly go to extinction?)
Another: I remember reading an article that said that the meaning of human existence is that the universe created human beings to recognize TA himself, so human existence is very great, human wisdom It is the crystallization of the evolution of nature! This is completely opposite to Rust's view. . ]
Marty: Huh. That sounds god-fucking-Awful, Rust. Uh, this sounds too fucking, Rust.
Rust: We are things that labor under the illusion Of having a self, This accretion of sensoryexperience and feeling, Programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody.When, in fact, everybody's nobody.
We are "self-consciousness" this illusion A enslaved creature, a product of the accumulation of perception and sensory experience. We are designed to believe 100% that we are someone, but in reality, we are none of us.
[Two concepts are involved here: free will and fatalism.
Is what we call "self-awareness" (or "free will") really the product of our own thinking? Or is our mind just pre-designed? Or is it just our illusion?
The thinking I am making now is not a decision made by myself. The reason why I feel that I am self-directed is just my illusion about all these so-called "perceptions" and "feelings."
In fact, if free will is denied, the concept of "I" does not exist.
Or, from the moment of the Big Bang, everything is doomed (because the initial conditions have been determined)? Including our behavior, our thoughts are also certain?
There is also fatalism involved here. I just want to say that fatalism is too negative. Rust always wonders if these can be gloomy. . ORZ
In addition, many people are convinced of the existence of free will, but there have been controversies in the academic field. Some scientists have done relevant experiments and published papers.
Because these concepts are too vague to talk about, I won't talk about it here. If you are interested, please search for it yourself. Here is a recommendation from Li Miao on "Three-Body": "The Seal of Thought and Free Will-Do Humans Have Free Will? 》】
Marty: I wouldn't go around spouting that shit, I was you. People around here don't think that way. I don't think that way. I don't think that way! balabala……
Rust: I think the honorable thing for species to do Is deny our programming, Stop reproducing, Walk hand in hand into extinction, One last midnight, brothers and sisters Opting out of a raw deal.
I think one species can do The most noble thing is to deny our setting, stop multiplying, holding hands and heading for destruction together, at one final midnight, everyone withdraws from this unfair game together.
[Rus once again pushed the thought of fatalism to the extreme. Since everything is set, it doesn't make any sense what I do. Nima might as well just stop it all by myself, I won't play anymore! From a fatalistic point of view, this is indeed the most noble thing that can be done. . ]
Marty: So what's the point of getting out bed in the morning? What's the point of getting
up every morning?
Rust: I tell myself I bear witness, But the real answer is that it's obviously my programming, And I lack the constitution for suicide.
I tell myself that I exist to witness. But obviously, the real answer is that this is the setting for me. However, I lack the courage to commit suicide.
[Since I can't change anything, the only reason I am still alive is to witness all this, but this is obviously another set for me. I didn't have the courage to commit suicide. Even if I committed suicide, I followed the pre-procedures, and it didn't make any sense. . ORZ is too entangled. . 】
Marty: My luck, I picked today to get to know you. 3 months, I don't hear a word from you, and-- Marty: My luck, I picked today to get to know
you, three months, no I heard a word about you...
Rust: You asked.
Rust: You asked me.
Marty: Yeah. And now I'm begging you to shut the fuck up.
Marty: Yeah . And now I'm begging you to shut the fuck up.
[Your sister, I have a wife and children, and if I listen to you, I should commit suicide. . 】
【Digression: Regarding fatalism, free will, what is the universe, what is man, and the meaning of existence, I think it is better to leave it to scientists and philosophers to think about it. Don’t be too serious, or you will really be depressed~~ ]

2. (S01E02, 00:35:35, two black detectives asked rust, a lot of your information is incomplete, what is northshore? Rust said that Northshore is actually a mental hospital, and then talked about his previous undercover experience: After his daughter Sofia had an unfortunate event, she fell out with his wife Claire, and then transferred from the robbery group to the anti-drug group so that he could stay day and night. During this period, Claire left, and during this period, Rust killed a bastard who injected drugs into his daughter.
The prosecutor said that he could not go to jail, but he was going to be an undercover agent, so Rust worked as an undercover agent for four years. Then in February 1993, Rust shot and killed 3 drug dealers and was sentenced to 75 years in prison. Finally, he was sent to a mental hospital for 4 months.
The police department wanted to give Rust a mental compensation fee, but Rust refused, and voluntarily asked to be transferred to the murder team. After that, Rust developed PTSD---post-traumatic stress disorder, sleeplessness, drug use, hallucinations...)
Detective A: Why homicide? Why did you come to the murder group?
Rust: Oh, something I saw at Northshore. Quote from Corinthians: "The body is not one member, but many." "Now are they many, but... of one body."
because I saw it in a mental hospital A passage from 1 Corinthians (Bible?): "The body is not a whole, but has many parts; the many parts now... are from the same body."
Detective B: What's that mean, though? mean?
Rust: I was just trying to stay a part of the body now.
[The sentence rust said is difficult to understand. My understanding is:
"All objects cannot exist alone, they are composed of many other objects; and the many unrelated objects we see now are actually Different parts of the same object.”
This again involves a philosophical proposition: What is our world like? Is the world we know the real world?
Let's take an example of a blind person touching an elephant: several blind people touched an elephant's trunk, legs, and tail, and argued about what the elephant looks like. In fact, our understanding of the universe is not like this. Humans' understanding of the universe is very narrow, and it must not be as good as the blind people's knowledge of elephants.
We are like plankton in the water. On the first day we saw a shark’s teeth and knew a new thing. On the second day we saw the shark’s tail and felt that we knew a new thing, but we didn’t know the two There are connections between pieces of objects, but they are actually different parts of the same object.
Perhaps, all the things we humans observe are only parts of the truth of the same universe?
Or perhaps, our understanding of time and space also stays on this level? From the overall perspective of the universe, time and space are one?
There is even a connection between us. There is me in you, and you in me?
In this sense, all things are interconnected, and no one can escape.
Rust said, I just want to be a part of the whole, which means that he has seen all this and doesn't want to escape anymore. He just wants to get his life back on track. It doesn't really matter what the police do. ]
=============================================== ===========2014.3.2 update
3. (S01E03, 00:04:40, Rust and Marty went to the religious preaching site to investigate the case, Marty said that it is good for people to have faith, and Rust rebutted; this paragraph Rust puts forward a series of questions about religion and belief)
1. If the only thing keeping a person decent is the expectation of division reward, then, brother, that person is a piece of shit, and I'd like to get as many of They out in the open as possible.
If only hope that God's reward can guarantee a person's integrity, then this person is a waste, and I hope they expose themselves as much as possible.
[If a person can restrain himself by relying on religious beliefs, then he is a waste, it is better to expose his true side]
2. What's it say about life, hmm, you got to get together, tellyourself stories that violate every law of the universe, just to get through the goddamnday? No.
What do they ( teachers ) think of life? You must get together with people and tell yourself stories that violate all the laws of the universe, just to get through the goddamnday NS? Do not.
[The so-called belief is just to let yourself live in lies every day? 】
3. Been that way since one monkey looked at the sun and told the othermonkey,"He said for you to give me your fucking share." People sogoddamn frail,they'd rather put a coin in a wishing well than buy dinner.
This was the case from the first day. One monkey looked up at the sun, and then told the other monkey: "He said you have to give me your share." Human beings are so fragile, they are willing to throw money into the wishing pool instead of filling their stomachs.
[Rust's naked irony of religion]
4, Transference of fear and self- loathing to an authoritarian vessel.It's catharsis. He absorbs their dread with his narrative. Because of this, he's effective in proportion to the amount of certainty he can project.
The fear and self-loathing transformed into a In a vessel of absolute power, to purify it, he (referring to preachers) uses preaching to absorb their fears. Because of this, he can effectively convey the certainty that he can express to everyone.
[Preaching and evangelism only uses people’s fear of life and dislike of themselves]
5. Certain linguistic anthropologists think that religion is a languagevirus that rewrites pathways in the brain, dulls critical thinking.
Some linguistic anthropologists think religion is a kind of Language viruses can reshape brain circuits and make people unable to think critically.
[Religious belief is sometimes just a kind of brainwashing? 】
6. See, we all got what I call a life trap, this gene-deep certainty thatthings will be different, that you'll move to another city, and meet the people that'll be thefriends for the rest of your life, that you'll fall in love and be fulfilled.Fucking fulfillment, and closure, whatever the fuck those two-- Fucking emptyjars to hold this shitstorm, and nothing is ever fulfilled until the veryend,and closure--No. No, no.Nothing is ever over.
Therefore, each of us will encounter what I call the "life trap", which is a kind of deep genetic grasp, convinced that things will become different, such as moving to another city, the encounter will become you For lifelong friends, such as falling in love, life is complete; fucking completion, and end, no matter what, there is still an empty full of these obscene thoughts, nothing can be completed until the last moment, the end... No, no, no, nothing will end.
[People always believe that there will be a better life and hope to be fulfilled, but in the end they will find that these are nothing but wishful thinking, except for a vague pretending to be content, you will get nothing, and all this will never be. Will end, never ending]
7. (00:13:18) The ontological fallacy of expecting a light at the end of the tunnel, well, that's what the preacher sells, same as a shrink. See, thepreacher, he encourages your capacity for illusion. Then he tells you it's afucking virtue. Always a buck to be had doing that, and it's such a desperatesense of entitlement, isn't it? "Surely, this is all for me.Me.Me, me, me.I, I.I'm so fucking important. I'm so fucking important, then, right? "
Looking forward to the light at the other end of the tunnel, this ontological fallacy is the point of view that the priest transmits to you, just like a psychologist. You see, the pastor also encourages you to have hallucinations and tells you that this is a virtue. If you do so, you will be rewarded. How desperate this kind of reward should be.
"Of course, this is all for me, how important a person I am, I am too important, right?"
["I am too important!"... Continue the irony]
===== ================================================== ==============
Fourth, the fourth episode, in order to catch the suspect, Rust broke into the drug trafficking organization.
Finally, in the scene of robbery in the black community, 00:50:06-00:56:00 have to watch the pee, okay? This segment is a 6-minute long shot + group scenes have nothing to do! Am I wrong? Is this Nima a TV series? Uncle Ma's super power throughout this period, even when he touched the carotid artery when he was nervous, he was so handsome, right? right? !
================================================== ===================
V. (S01E05, 00:20:38, after rust finished talking about solving the case, continue to talk about his own worldview and fool the two detectives)
Why should I live in history, huh?Fuck, I don't want to know anything anymore.This is a world where nothing is solved.
Someone once told me,"Time is a flat circle."Everything we've ever done or will do,we're gonna do over and over and over again...and that little boy and that little girl,they're gonna be in that room again...and again...and again... forever.
Why should I live in the past? Fuck, I don't want to know anything, in this world, nothing can be solved.
Someone once told me that time is a flat ring, everything we have done or will do will be repeated over and over again, and that little boy and that little girl, they will be there again In every room...over and over again...forever.
[Understand this: If time is a circle, then we will return to this starting point in the future. The future is the past, and the past is the future.
The past cannot be changed, but the future has actually happened. Everything is just repeated forever? ……ORZ]
(00:32:19)
Years.You ever heard of something called The M-Brane theory, detectives?
It's like in this universe,We process time linearly forward...But outside of our spacetime,From what would be a fourth-Dimensional perspective,Time wouldn't exist,And from that vantage,could we attain it...We'd see...Our spacetime would look flattened,Like a single sculpture with matter. In a superposition of every place it ever occupied, Our sentience just cycling through our lives,Like carts on a track.See, everything outside our dimension...That's eternity,Eternity looking down on us.Now, to us,It's a sphere,But to them. ..It's a circle
... ...year after year. Have you heard of membrane theory, agent?
This means that in this space-time, the time we experience is straight forward, but outside of our space-time, from a four-dimensional perspective, time does not exist.
If we can reach that angle, we will see that our time and space are like a plane, like a statue made of matter. Every place occupied by matter is overlapped. Our perception revolves around our life. , Like a cart on the track.
Everything outside of our dimension is eternity, and eternity looks down upon us. For us, it is spherical, but for them (people outside our time and space), it is a circle.
[I’m trying to explain: Our world is composed of three space dimensions + one time dimension. Now imagine if we jump out of the time and space where we are, and look at our three-dimensional world from a four-dimensional space, and people there can’t perceive it. Time, then our world that they observe is countless intertwined still worlds.
The passage of time we perceive is nothing more than different static statues in their eyes, and our past, present, and future will be unobstructed in their eyes, with a panoramic view.
From this perspective, everything that happens to us now and all the moments we perceive are eternal. ]
[The above two paragraphs involve membrane theory (ie string theory?), four-dimensional space, eternity, time is a closed loop... these mysterious things, I think I understand very limited, and I am not sure which part is science Theory, which part of rust is bludgeoning~ Please add and testify to ORZ...]
