There is no free will, don't talk about it.

A question that has troubled me for a long time is that if there is a world similar to Matrix in The Matrix, you can indulge in it forever without realizing that the world you are in is a virtual world, and this world can achieve a lot of itself. Goals that cannot be achieved in the real world, so are you willing to abandon the real world and live in this virtual world forever? I woke up this morning and suddenly wanted to understand that this seems to be a question about choosing between truth and beauty. The so-called truth is nothing more than the brain's response to stimuli. In this sense, there is almost no difference between the virtual world and the real world. , Probably all things like bio-computer radio waves dopamine adrenal glands. Moreover, it seems that only under the premise of beauty can there be a sense of being pursued, otherwise it would be boring to find a real bad thing. The conclusion can be replaced by the lyrics of Cui Jian: I want to leave, I want to exist, and I want to start all over again after I die.

Then I thought about whether you would be a painful philosopher or a happy pig. It seems that my choice is to be a happy pig. But this question itself is already a false proposition, because before facing this problem, people with the attributes of philosophers were not happy to be pigs at all. People with the attributes of pigs would not be able to experience the pain caused by the pursuit of meaning at all. Will face this choice.

In fact, let's not talk about this right of choice, even what attributes I used to be is not in my hands. What kind of person a person is is nothing more than an objective environment and subjective initiative. However, people's thinking, thinking, and character all come from objective influences, and there is no right to choose in terms of free will. Go for breakfast.
