Xu Yi: If the human world is a setting

There is a Chinese scholar in Malaysia who is also considered a strange person. He studied the "Shan Hai Jing" and came to the conclusion that all the seemingly absurd things in the "Shan Hai Jing" have actually happened. He started with the study of geography and recorded the fundamentally irrelevant geographical records in the "Shan Hai Jing" that we see today. Analyzing from the perspective of palaeogeographic restoration, the result of the analysis is consistent with the inference.

Then, he argued that the great flood had occurred, but the difference was that the great flood was man-made. In the legend, Yu and Gun were the heroes behind the flood, but they wanted to save the world. "Gun steals the emperor's breath from the soil to conquer the flood" and "the emperor ordered the emperor to lay down the soil to determine the Kyushu." With the ancient manpower, it was possible to conquer the flood and conquer the Kyushu. The scholar said that the key lies in terms such as "remove soil" and "bu soil". He analyzed that the word "earth" is a powerful nuclear weapon.

As for the ancient times, how did human beings have such a huge earth-shaking ability. The scholar began his imagination:
a group of highly intelligent creatures set up the human species. Earlier humans, they stole the power of highly intelligent creatures. Before they steal to the supernatural power, they may be just playthings.

The recent hot HBO series "Western World" is a remake of an old movie, saying that humans have used robots to create a virtual world of bliss. Sex and violence can happen unscrupulously for the enjoyment of real human beings. ——The most interesting angle of this film is to let the robot perceive the world of itself. Every day they or they wake up as set, full of longing, looking forward to finding, encountering, and falling in love in this world with great expectations. Start a life that seems to be real. Until the tragedy set by the so-called designers appeared.

The plaything should never perceive that it is the essence of the plaything. Otherwise, the joy of ignorance before will become the sadness of feeling. This kind of sadness can be applied together with emotions that sometimes have been deleted just like the magnificent remarks. You always feel that you have seen the truth, but you never thought about it. The so-called truth is nothing more than a game of thinking.

When I was young, I often felt that I was the protagonist of a drama created by a group of higher creatures. As for everything other than me, it's all fiction. I also seem to be living in all kinds of settings, so that from time to time I perceive myself as living in a peculiar onlooker. For example, when I first read something that is considered uncommon, I will see something similar in another reading. Or a word or two. Met in A place in the early morning, but felt sad in the dusk of B place. I thought I could adapt to the grotesqueness of the moment, but I was drawn away from the past experience from time to time. Too long experience has become intuition.

There is a British drama about scams, which specifically split a kind of scam. When you induce a stranger to say what you expect, you should set up various information about the matter in all places where he passes. In this way, he intentionally or unintentionally, unconsciously, is strengthened by the information you set up a certain consciousness. When the problem comes up, he will also unknowingly say what you expect. What I want to say has nothing to do with scams, but if you have been in the setting, your behavior is actually regulated to some extent.

When I was younger, when someone came to my family, I would suddenly be in a daze. Because the scene seems familiar. Or it touched something, it seemed like an electric shock. ——Never mind, let’s stop talking about Lishen's stuff, and talk too much, as if I'm a fat man to be a magic stick.

I was very excited when I watched "The World of Truman" because I thought of this setting when I was a kid. It turns out that you are not alone in the world full of fictional hallucinations and fears. Looking at "Western World" again, I suddenly felt that it was actually closer to my past thoughts. It's just that you are not the protagonist, but an irrelevant background board or dragon sleeve. The point is, you think the world is yours. So I live very seriously.

The more the times develop, the closer human beings are to their weak and lonely nature. Huineng said there was nothing. But the more there is no soul, the more I worry about losing my soul. Xuyi

  • Dr. Robert Ford: The hosts are the ones who are free. Free. Here. Under my control.

  • Dolores Abernathy: [to Stubbs] Some people choose to see the ugliness in this world, the disarray. I choose to see the Beauty. To believe there is an order to our days. A purpose. I know things will work out the way they're meant to.
