Chapter 151 Is it possible that you are a game character? Skepticism, epistemology.
Go up the spiral staircase and push open the door between reality and illusion, and you will arrive at the holy place that all scholars in the universe dream of – the library of Boshizun. It looks like a simple building, but it is actually not in the same dimension as the outside world. The bookshelves are filled with simple paper books.
But if you look more carefully, you will find that there are a lot of light and shadow flowing inside these books, like flowing and moving light cones.
The information density inside any book will never be inferior to that of an interstellar library of a developed civilization.
And such books are just the most inconspicuous collections in the entire library.
If someone can steal some collections from here and obtain a piece of knowledge, then he will be able to promote the development of the star civilization of the entire universe like the geniuses of the genius club.
Of course, the premise is that he can really understand the knowledge in these books.
After the locust plague in the universe, Boshizun stopped calculating the answer to the universe. Some people think that this star god has given up, and some people think that this star god has solved the truth of the universe.
If the latter’s rumor is true, then this library must contain enough knowledge to explain the entire universe.
It is not wrong to call it an omniscient information collection.
Of course, Su Mo does not think this is possible.
If the Master of Knowledge really understands the truth of the universe, really solves the mystery of all things, and really reaches the realm of omniscience.
Then there is no need for him to continue to train the envoys, no need to continue to serve as the Star God, and no need to meet with himself.
Omniscience is not a field that can be reached so easily.
Moreover, the idea that all truths can be exhausted by calculation alone is not necessarily tenable.
Thinking of this, Su Mo and Fan Lou looked at the surrounding environment, ignoring one treasure knowledge after another that could make the entire universe crazy, and finally stopped in front of an old man.
It was a blind old man wearing sunglasses and leaning on a cane. He looked ordinary, just like the organic life humans that can be seen everywhere.
However, Su Mo and Fan Lou looked at each other, and the two stopped, almost immediately understanding the identity of this old man.
Although no mechanical structure can be seen, nor any abnormal aura, the only person who can appear here at this time can be the Star God of Wisdom and Destiny.
“Every guest who comes here will ask the biggest question they have.”
The seemingly blind old man keenly caught the arrival of the two people. He spoke slowly, his tone was vicissitudes and calm.
What he said was the rule of the library.
Whether it is a genius who is actively recognized by him, or a guest who embarks on the road of”eye-opening” and comes to visit him, they are qualified to ask a question to Bo Shi Zun.
Bo Shi Zun will not give any answer to this question.
He will only help the other party to better explore the problem, sometimes by reconstructing the problem, and sometimes by giving the other party props to assist. No matter what method, Bo Shi Zun’s gift is a precious opportunity to open the eyes of the most ignorant people.
Therefore, the road to seeking to be received by Bo Shi Zun is also called the road to eye-opening.
In fact, this There is no need to reiterate this sentence.
Because only those who can clearly define their own problems and know the biggest puzzle they are facing can find the door to the puzzle and find this place with the key of knowledge.
Now, facing the arrival of Su Mo and Fanlou, Bo Shizun adopted the same process as for other geniuses.
Su Mo had no objection to this.
He patted Fanlou’s head and motioned for the little girl Ming to speak first.
Fanlou was slightly stunned. Su Mo had just brought her in, and she really hadn’t thought about asking anything.
After exchanging a glance with Su Mo, she did not refuse.
Taking a half step forward, the little girl Ming with a silly expression stared at the old man in front of her, tilted her head, and asked the most common question, but one that no one had ever asked here.
“Who are you?”
As soon as these words came out, the already very quiet library became even quieter.
If other people were there to see this scene, they would surely be heartbroken and unable to breathe.
Even someone as proud as Heita would think that Fanlou’s question was a sheer waste of opportunity.
What a joke! Even Heita only has two chances to meet the Star God, an opportunity that people in the entire universe would risk their lives to get, and you ask such a stupid question?
You’re already in front of the Star God himself, and you’re still asking who he is…
Isn’t this more of a provocation than stupidity?
Aren’t you afraid that Master Bo Shi will just lift you up?
Only Su Mo didn’t find it strange. Since he allowed Fanlou to ask questions, he naturally had psychological expectations for this situation.
It should be emphasized here that Su Mo’s psychological expectations were not… It’s not that he gave up the opportunity to ask questions this time. On the contrary, he had high expectations for Hanlou’s questions.
And in fact, Hanlou’s performance did not disappoint Su Mo’s expectations.
Although she doesn’t like to talk, she is so smart that she has already learned a huge part of the world’s knowledge from the Mecha network. How could she not know who the person in front of her is.
But she still chose to ask this question, which was both out of her instinctive curiosity and her doubts about the existence in front of her.
Su Mo rubbed Hanlou’s little head with satisfaction, and then looked at Boshizun. Boshizun remained silent.
With his computing power, he could analyze the general situation of the two people just from the various force fields leaked by the two.
But he really couldn’t answer Hanlou’s question.
After more than ten seconds, Boshizun said to Hanlou
“You are very special.”
Hearing this, Fan Lou blinked, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes
“Who am I?”
She once again raised the ultimate philosophical question
“……”
Bo Shi Zun fell silent again.
His silence was deafening.
If someone saw this scene, they would probably doubt their own eyes.
How could there be a Star God who would be silenced by a little girl’s questioning?
However, the scene before his eyes was indeed the fact.
If Heita and others saw it, they would immediately accept this situation after the initial surprise.
The Star God is the embodiment of highly condensed philosophical concepts, but this does not mean that they have solved all philosophical problems.
In fact, the only thing developed in the Star Iron Universe is technology. In the field of philosophy, the problems that existed in the Enlightenment period have not yet been solved.
Philosophy incubates theology, theology incubates science, and science tries to solve everything with methodology, but it seems that it has not succeeded in doing so yet.
Su Mo looked at Bo Shi Zun with interest, waiting for his reaction.
After a long silence, Bo Shi Zun spoke.
“I am the one who questions all the answers, and you are the one who questions all the questions.”
This sentence not only emphasizes the concepts of both parties, but also answers Fanlou’s question.
Although this answer seems to be evasive, at this moment, Su Mo is more concerned about something than finding fault.
“Didn’t you say that you only give questions and not answers?”
“Why did you give such a perfunctory answer this time?”
Faced with Su Mo’s question, Bo Shi Zun answered very calmly:
“Because she is very special.”
Bo Shi Zun paid special attention to Fan Lou, who was ignored by Ruan Mei and Heita.
“Of course she is special.”
Su Mo naturally understood what Bo Shi Zun meant.
Otherwise, he would not have brought Fan Lou to this world on purpose.
“As a person who doubts everything, the skepticism represented by this child is ahead of the epistemology represented by you.”
“So, I am very curious about one thing – before analyzing everything and finding the ultimate answer to the universe, have you really confirmed that this answer really exists?”
“Have you ever doubted that the universe itself is just an illusion, and your existence is just a simulated character in the game?”
In a few words, Su Mo directly raised a dangerous question, and this question itself even had the meaning of denying the destiny of Boshi Zun.
If it were another hot-tempered star god, it would not be impossible to attack Su Mo.
In a sense, Fanlou’s concept of the essence is the nemesis of Boshi Zun’s concept of destiny.
As a star god, the original purpose of Boshi Zun’s birth was to understand everything through logic and calculation, so as to understand the ultimate truth of the universe.
If he can successfully do this and successfully solve all the mysteries in the universe, Boshi Zun will be able to directly break through the realm of omniscience and become an omniscient and omnipotent existence.
For most scientists, the existence of Boshi Zun is the biggest guide on the road of science, and even the development of the entire scientific community is almost based on Boshi Zun’s theory.
Almost everyone tacitly agrees that the truth of the universe can really be obtained through logic, rationality, and calculation.
In fact, the prosperity and development of the scientific community so far is also verifying the correctness of this proposition.
However, with the prosperity and development of epistemology and methodology, the shadow of skepticism has also emerged simultaneously. Growing in secret.
Even according to the analysis of pure logical theory, before searching for the truth of the universe and understanding all things, a premise must be determined, that is, the world can be known, the universe truly has truth, and reason can explain everything.
If this premise is taken a step further, it is the eternal philosophical problem mentioned earlier.
Cognition is two-way. If the world can be known, who knows it?
If it is me, how can I be sure of my existence?
Bo Shi Zun is determined to solve the mystery of all things and wants to solve this equation called the cosmic problem.
The doubt represented by Fan Lou is even before solving the problem. She questioned the question itself.
Compared with solving the problem, she cares more about whether the universe exists and whether there is a self.
And this is the essence of the God of Doubt.
Hearing Su Mo’s question, Bo Shi Zun was not angry. He was not angry at all. Using logic and calculation to answer all problems is the essence of his destiny.
He is familiar with all the civilization information in the entire universe, and he is the person who can best understand the meaning of Su Mo’s words.
So, he quickly gave an answer.
“The brain in a vat hypothesis cannot be falsified, and for this reason, it is meaningless.
“The brain in a vat hypothesis refers to the idea that everything an individual feels is simulated by signals, and that the world itself does not actually exist, but is just a fantasy dream of the brain immersed in a solution.
A brain immersed in a vat cannot wake itself up, and even if it wakes up suddenly, no one can guarantee that this is not a second dream, so this hypothesis can never be falsified and can only become a topic of conversation after dinner.
The answer given by Boshizun couldn’t be more appropriate, but Su Mo, who heard this, found it very interesting.
“Meaning? Isn’t this something that only a happy destiny would care about?”
“Truth knows no destiny.”
Boshizun spoke calmly, then lowered his head, his blind eyes looking towards Fanlou.
“Doubt is a shadow of nothingness. You once stepped into the sleep of destiny, but you did not really move towards IX. What changed you?
This time, it was Boshizun who asked Fanlou Shan
