In the picture, policeman Alex Murphy was transformed into a robot after a car explosion. After removing the steel limbs, only the lungs that can breathe, the heart that supplies blood, and the brain that can think are left. That scene was really suffocating. Especially the scene when the genius Dr. Dennett Norton opened his skull for surgery. It really continued the realistic style of American movies. It is hard to say whether it is respecting science or deliberately disgusting. The girls sitting next to me all took off their glasses or lowered their heads, with some symptoms of discomfort. At this time, as a psychology person who was a little excited to see the brain model, he felt like watching a classroom video. Many years ago, I watched a real surgery documentary, opening a person’s skull and stimulating different areas. Someone next to me kept asking, what are you feeling...
Well, of course I’m not here to show off how abnormal I am. .
In the whole process, ignoring the cool technology display, what has always been memorable and thoughtful, is this question: Why do people call them humans? Under what circumstances do people perish? Can it be said that a person is equal to his brain, equal to the free will shown by his brain? And what exactly does this free will dominate?
If a person has no hands or feet, or even legs, is he still human? Think about it, it must be, at most it is a somewhat handicapped person. Without the body? It's a bit scary, but it can't be said that he is not a human, or that he is still a living individual. So to what extent will the human body disappear? Is it that other people no longer see him as a person?
Just like Murphy in the movie, his body originally belonged to him, only the brain without cranium is left, that is, the ditch back, the lungs and the heart in the chest container, so is he still alone? Just like the question that has been asked countless times in the film: Is he a human or a machine? I was thinking that leaving the lungs and the heart may only be for logical reasons-we all agree with the fact that without the heartbeat and breathing, people cannot survive. And leaving his head alone, the level of horror will be doubled. He was eventually retained and still treated as a person. The core feature is that he still has a brain and an intact face. Indeed, the face is very important, because a face, we accept each other, trust each other, because of a face, people maintain independence.
What is the deeper reason why we respect the brain so much?
Murphy's brain is loaded with computer programs, so that he can act in the robot mode when performing tasks, make quick decisions based on judgment conditions, and make no muddling. Dr. Norton said that this program allows Murphy to fully execute the program's instructions and make him feel that it is his own decision. What a clever logic! I want to say that maybe God thinks so too. But humans are not allowed to do this. No one wants to admit that humans do not have free will. No matter how bad the conditions are, it will not work if it eventually interferes with the free will of humans. So the big boss cleverly avoided this question that would cause criticism: no, it was to make the robot feel like Murphy. Any questions? Is there any difference? In the end, who controls whom?
The human brain, the machine body, it doesn't matter, as long as the control is still in the human brain. The body is just a tool, as long as the brain has not been destroyed, everything can be started again. There is no way to regenerate the body, so it is not difficult to change to a pile of steel. Do you see the contradiction or combination of dualism and monism? How contradictory and complicated it is for people to throw away this stinky skin. Throw it away and throw it away, but there is still no lack of a medium for contact with this objective world. People need something, whether they are flesh or tools. Consciousness cannot be separated from this tool, it is not the flesh, or something else.
So what is the brain? A way of thinking? Ability to solve problems accurately? --Is it really? Then the brain out of matter is nothing more than a bunch of programs, and computers can also do it, and it's more precise. But we don't think so. No matter how smart artificial intelligence is, it is still not smart. What is missing? emotion. This may be a good conclusion. Robots lack emotions and lack the ability to appreciate happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. The emotions we cherish so much often lead people astray. In addition, we are still looking forward to other things. When Murphy crossed the set procedure and controlled the body with human consciousness, we felt that he really came alive-what can control his heavy, agile, and strong armored body is not a precise procedure, but agility With his free will, he seems to have a soul again, and his body becomes a whole again. There was light in Dr. Norton's eyes. This is what we expect: the invincible, human free will. In other words, this is the source of something called a miracle. Deviations, emotions, unexpected irrational behavior, uncontrolled behavior disorder, these seem to be the things we cherish the most.
Without a body, one can still have a soul. As long as free will is still there. This is the American. The extreme perfectionist must escape from the hands of God, must resist and be uncontrolled. Always pursuing more precision and perfection, but always resisting more precision and perfection. They create a technological society, but yearn for the return of the most essential human nature.
