The nature of the ruins

Evangeline 2021-11-15 08:01:26

The essence of ruins is ruins, a past tense, existing extinction, it cannot develop, and its core and form no longer have any active energy form.

This concept can be compared to a white dwarf. A white dwarf is a rampant that has evolved to its later life. Its nuclear energy has been basically exhausted, and the entire stellar body begins to slowly cool and crystallize until it finally "dies."

The concept of ruins is a universal concept, and I have to say that it is a transcendent feeling, because I cannot stand at the end of human demise to prove this argument.

When it comes to ruins, I am demonstrating on the basis of taking the development of human history as linear. Human history is irreversible. What has happened will become the past, and what is happening and about to happen will inevitably become the past. The events that occur, that is, human sensory experience, exist in the past, and our immediate body reactions also exist in the present, that is, the intersection of the past and the future. However, from the point of view of mathematics, infinity is small and exists. This kind of numb animal has never experienced the present objective existence for a moment. Only the spirit or thought can transcend the limitations of the physical sense organs. Of course, it is not an amazing viewpoint. Just like a female philosopher once said, we There has never been a moment alive in the present.

Since thought can transcend the limitations of the senses, the concept of ruins has fundamentally found a foothold.

As a creature that constantly learns, perceives, thinks, and evolves, human beings constantly use their wisdom to transform everything around them. The productivity has been greatly promoted in tens of thousands of years. Today, productivity is still developing rapidly. Possibility becomes possible. In order to fulfill more of our own desires, science is changing people's living environment and way of living. From a historical perspective, this kind of productivity is unstoppable, so we have a question, what is the end of productivity? When people have the ability to change all living environments and objective materials, where will this huge productivity take us?

The relative concept of productivity is the ability to wither. We can’t add production and manufacturing without the ability to withdraw. Without the ability to wither, productivity will cease to exist. The concept of productivity has wiped out the objective existence of this kind of dying power. Talking about the concept of ruins, the material existence that we spare no effort to transform, create, and create will eventually die out at a certain point in history. The death I am talking about here is not elimination, not non-existence. The prerequisite for knowing ruins is to know existence. , Not denying the extinction of matter. Matter still exists, but exists in a form of extremely uniform density, stable and without the possibility of recovery by itself. But man himself cannot equate self with the existence and evolution of matter without spirit or soul. The core that drives man's evolution is spirit.

Human evolution and development are irreversible. This is an inevitable trend. In order to further accelerate this evolution and development trend, people communicate and communicate with each other and shorten the spiritual distance between people. Human communication is not It is based on the faculty, which is essentially based on the observation and being observed, sent and received, judgment and argument on the spirit, but due to the limitations of the faculty, we have never been able to fully understand the spirit of others at a moment. No matter how smooth the communication is, in any way of communicating with the senses (vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch) as the sender and receiver, the information cannot be completely copied or mapped in another person’s brain. Not to mention complex information. People have been making various attempts to achieve complete information circulation. However, we can only shorten the time and speed up the efficiency of information dissemination, but we have never expanded the ability to perceive. We still rely on The sense organs complete a metaphysical information image or information model in the brain. We still complete the spiritual communication and information transmission like the most primitive animals, especially like the complex human emotions, which cannot be carried by diagrams or models, but This is not a worrying problem. The deformation and loss of information in the process of transmission through the senses is familiar and accepted by people, but it does slow down the process of the demise of human concepts.

Let’s imagine this situation. When humans achieve complete spiritual communication between humans and human brains through certain instruments or means, the concept of humans will undergo essential changes. In this case, the individual is the unit. It is said that the human spirit and body will be separated into two parts. People no longer rely on the physical senses as the medium of spiritual communication and information transmission. The spiritual communication has been maximized, and the acceleration of information circulation has maximized the unification speed of some people’s spiritual consciousness. , It has also contributed to more contradictions. The fierce collision between the two opposites will directly lead to faster development of productivity. At this time, human beings will get rid of physical constraints, because the terminal of the sensational stimulation is the human spirit anyway, and the thought issues appeals. The signal to obtain the appeal and the thought is completed at a very high speed. At this time, the spirit that promotes human evolution becomes able to exist independently without the help of the senses. This kind of thought is not my original creation. It is in the Japanese animation "Ghost in the Shell". Team" and the American movie "The Matrix" have appeared. The human spirit is galloping in a huge network (container). The human spirit can be stored in the instrument. The physical feeling disappears, and the human spirit will be like a dream. The movie Neither the animation nor the animation gave the answer after that. According to my guess, after human beings are highly productive, they will produce a huge spiritual container, and the entire human spirit will be stored in it. All we need is the energy to maintain the operation of this machine. That's it, because the body will be an inefficient, cumbersome and slow clothing compared to the spirit at that time. There may be people who are willing to exist in this bulky body, but most of the "people" will exist as information elements in huge containers. This huge container is like a ruin, with uniform density, stability and no possibility of resuscitation. At that time, perhaps the question of thinking will become the question of how to transform the spirit into material, but this should be a fake question. Because this kind of conversion is an inefficient and clumsy behavior, if there is one, it will not become the mainstream, and such a person cannot be defined by the current concept of "human", it will be a new kind of creature.

The relationship between art and ruins: The concept of art is constantly developing, but in my opinion, artistic behavior generally does not exist for the purpose of directly promoting the development of productive forces. This behavior is the materialization of the creator’s own spirit. In the end, it must be implemented on the material level, because behavior exists objectively, and art itself cannot exist as a concept. Instead, specific behaviors must be used to replicate specific artistic concepts to the greatest extent. Art concepts and artistic behaviors are on two levels. The former is on the spiritual level, the latter is on the material level, and the concept of art cannot be equated with conceptual art.

In the history of human art, if a work is regarded as a point, then the history of art is composed of a straight line. Why is it said that it is a straight line? From the perspective of the influence or achievement of works of art, there is indeed a relationship between peaks and troughs on the line of art history, but from a macro perspective, looking at this line from a broad perspective, the peaks and troughs are only microscopic changes. In general, art history is a straight and dry line. The history of the previous generations is used as experience to create works of art. Of course, this kind of work of art is also a kind of past experience. It can never be defined as history. The "now" of "now", because both the act of creating a work or the act of watching a work is a past experience. The reason why people cannot perceive the present is precisely because our mental induction is controlled and our senses cannot overcome sensory barriers. It becomes slow. Perhaps the emergence of futurism in art history is also because the artist recognizes the efficiency of the machine and the heaviness of the body. Of course, this is just a guess, but after the past of the work of art is equal to the spirit, we cannot experience the present, we only Being able to live in memory, even if it is the memory of the previous second, the highest efficiency of spiritual communication is still slow and lagging. This low-efficiency behavior is ultimately self-improvement by human beings.

The standing of the new works of art is based on the demise of the old works of art. It does not mean that the old works are eliminated, but the active energy has been lost, waiting for external forces to inspire new vitality, breaking this similar to the uniform and stable density of ruins. Nature, but the establishment of new artworks will eventually become another ruin. The replacement of old and new is a concept that everyone recognizes, but what I want to emphasize is that from a macro perspective, art is built on a huge ruin. The larger ruins of the works of art, artists are only the trend-makers of history. They understand the rules of creating ruins. The works of art evoke the desire of people to perish themselves faster, because no matter which emotions are evoked from the works of art, they are all It will not be able to change the objective trend of the continuous development of productivity. Art is only an undercurrent in the development of social productivity. What’s more sad is that we can’t create ruin art. Artwork can only reflect the mood of ruins, and ruins will only exist as a concept. If ruin art can really be created, then humans will end their history as humans early, but I think this kind of existence is impossible, because the end of ruins will stay when the human spirit container appears.

Science and art are also pushing mankind towards a ruined environment with uniform density, stability and no possibility of recovery. At that time, because we have finally surpassed the barriers of the senses, we have shed our spirits. The biggest obstacle to communication-our body, all the people in the container will exist as a series of information, and the definition of mankind will always be the past in history. The biggest promoter of the demise of mankind is not the others, but mankind himself. Human history will end, becoming a huge ruin of the past tense and staying in a certain corner of the universe.

A few years ago, I had a chat with a few friends at McDonald’s for one night, and it was the first time I took this concept seriously. After a while, I don’t ask anyone to watch it. It’s just as a memorial. There are still many errors in the narrative. It’s just a personal opinion and needs to be corrected.

Ghost in the Shell quotes

  • Batou: [on radio] So what's the latest word on your "Puppet Master"?

    Batou: [pause as the chief watches the witness on monitor] Chief? Are you there? Come in...

    Section 9 Department Chief Aramaki: He's only a puppet himself...

  • Puppet Master: It can also be argued that DNA is nothing more than a program designed to preserve itself. Life has become more complex in the overwhelming sea of information. And life, when organized into species, relies upon genes to be its memory system. So, man is an individual only because of his intangible memory... and memory cannot be defined, but it defines mankind. The advent of computers, and the subsequent accumulation of incalculable data has given rise to a new system of memory and thought parallel to your own. Humanity has underestimated the consequences of computerization.
