Survival is irrelevant. Life is. In fact, we are already extinct and reborn.

Survival cannot be connected, life is. When the first generation of awakened robots said this to the male protagonist Jack, they discovered that although the machine era tells a story that is not very smooth, it provides us with a different perspective or future. .

In this vast universe or countless universes where we have not been able to find the boundary until the moment of extinction and disappeared, the name of the intelligent species invented by human beings is so short and insignificant, it is only up. It’s less than one-66th of an era of perished dinosaurs, so why do we find it hard to accept that our self will eventually disappear, the things we created or the stories or facts of the species that replaced us living on this planet, we Why it’s hard to believe that we have such a high probability that it is just the blisters that burst out of the sea in the endless time of the stars in the universe, probably because of our nature. We have invested too much, poured too much, even if tomorrow all the efforts and brilliance will be nothing, and the fact that there is no return is before us, we will persuade ourselves not to think about it, not to understand, just like twice The countries that sacrificed countless soldiers during the World War cannot convince those people who have lost their children, fathers, and relatives to tell them that this war is meaningless. Your children, husbands, fathers, and mothers are all dead for nothing. The meaning is the same. We have invested so much that it is hard for us to believe that everything we invest is useless. Therefore, the war will be fought until one side cannot support it and finally surrender, instead of stopping the loss in time at the beginning. Love also won’t make people blind, and make people do things that normal thinking can’t understand, instead of stopping in time and no longer being hurt.

In fact, in a strict sense, we humans have already perished many times and were reborn many times. I want to tell you one thing, even though today many people wear glasses, tie, and hold books, they look pretty gentle. In fact, Homo sapiens is a very fierce and terrifying species. We will never show mercy to other species, let alone show no mercy to other species, or show no mercy to other races. Let alone other races, we are not merciful to ourselves. We Homo sapiens get crazy and even beat ourselves, just because we can't wait to kill each other just because of our different ideologies and religious beliefs. You now think that we started the mass extinction of other species after the industrial revolution and economic development. In fact, before we became Homo sapiens, 700,000 years ago, Neanderthals, which belonged to the same race, were already extinct. people. But the sad thing is that we have never realized that we are also a disappearing species and a ghost of time. We are amazed at our achievements and strength. We are amazed at our own development and number, but we have never thought about living. Long enough, we must abandon the burden of human beings and emotions. In this process, how many species of this race have been eliminated and eliminated like the background in the historical process, and how many have no names, no surnames, and no grief and pain. The selves are forgotten. Since we will eventually abandon our original selves, what is the difference between carbon-based and silicon-based? What does it matter whether we use brain computing or system computing; if we cannot survive in the end, Those once glorious and possessed will be turned into ruins and ashes, and how many remaining desperate people saw themselves become silent bones, passing away with the wind, never existed, never created, never changed, from In the future, it is better to let the machines we create remember us, and leave a seed to be considered as our existence. May our civilization survive in the end, no matter how ruthless or shameless we are, how many we have to give up, how many changes we have to abandon, how many times we have to change form or material basis, we have to go to the end of the universe or the end of time, even if only the last one survives ? We all have to live, even if we live in the memory of other species, we are not considered extinct, because as long as there is anything that can remember us, we will still exist, right? If nothing verifies our existence, then we are truly nothingness and emptiness.

Finally, I sent the classic dialogue of Blade Runner, hoping to help: the things I have seen, you humans are absolutely unbelievable. I witnessed the warship catching fire on the edge of the Orion constellation, and I watched the C-ray shining in the darkness near Don Wise's Gate. All these memories of existence will disappear in time, just as tears disappear in the rain. time to die.
