what is evil

Written in the front: I have watched a lot of films about good and evil, instinct and restraint, order and chaos recently, and these films have a lot of subjective color to the objective, so I would like to take this opportunity to make a summary of this series of films, which is also about A decluttering of your own cluttered brain. The finishing content starts from the "evil" in the movie.

What is the opposite of the universe? The answer given by people who have entered a black hole is "evil", and the so-called "evil" is shown in the movie through some clip switching. In the director's opinion, "evil" is to combine some literature, The hell in the film and television works is depicted, but "evil" itself is a subjective word, which is what "I" thinks, so it is the opposite of what "I" thinks the universe is evil. After going around a circle, let's take a look at the core question: what is good and what is evil? I believe that most people's definitions are subjective, "I think it's good" and "most people think it's bad", then if we go back to the objective The angle, standing at the height of the universe, is the "evil" shown in the movie? I prefer to use "disorder" to explain, or "entropy" to explain. When the degree of chaos is minimal, the universe is calmer, with no events or regular events; when the degree of chaos increases, the universe is more chaotic and there are more irregular events. In the movie, it is the opposite of the universe, black holes. What if this theory corresponds to the human body? When the entropy is equal to 0, the human body should no longer exist, and the soul (thought) is in a sleeping state; when the entropy approaches infinity, the mind is extremely chaotic, while the body is in a state of deep sleep. fully express ideas. That's the "evil" in the movie. Here I would like to introduce Freud's theory of "id-ego-superego": "id" (completely subconscious) represents desires, which are repressed by consciousness; "ego" (mostly conscious) is responsible for dealing with real world affairs; "superego" (partially conscious) is the conscience or inner moral judgment. Here I personally understand it like this: "I" refers to the basic law of biology, that is, survival, and survival is above all behavior; "self" is what is actually done, and the "self" of most living things is equal to "id" ; When the biological "self" is not equal to the "id", the difference value can be explained by the "superego"; the superego is the existence that can break the basic survival law of the creature, and the superego represents countless behaviors. When it is close to infinity, we can understand that "superego" is equal to "ego", but we still can't define this as "evil", because he only does one of several possible things, and this one From a subjective point of view, it is possible for things to happen whether they are right, evil, or neutral, and there may even be different criteria for different subjective judgments. So I thought of a question: When the ego is equal to the id, what is the entropy of the creature? If I were to give an answer, it should be infinitely close to 0, but not equal to 0.

    Nothing fancy. Normal sci-fi.

    One of my childhood nightmare films, I was scared to change the channel. . . Now that I've finished it, I feel that the good word Event Horizon is really in vain. There is no hard sci-fi as it should be, only a lot of blood and show-like psychology and fear, but the fascination with sci-fi at that time is indeed different from now.
