Chapter 5738 Observation and Thinking

In fact, when he saw the handsome boy resurrecting Johnny Silverhand and transforming into another person on the spot, V knew that the current situation was not suitable for him and Jack to continue following him.

No matter what these people are going to do next, it will definitely involve some core secrets, and in a place like Night City, sometimes the more things you know, the faster you die.

It's not that she's worried about what the handsome boy will do to her. Not to mention that she has a special relationship with Xili, but his previous attitude has been sincerely friendly. He took everyone to blow up Arasaka Tower and took good care of them all the way.

What she was worried about was that if other companies knew that she was related to this mysterious man, would they come to arrest her and torture her? Will it be sent to the laboratory for sectioning?

The answer is very possible. In the information age, many things are not secrets. It would be easier to follow Johnny Silverhand to blow up Arasaka Tower. After all, everyone knows about Johnny, so it is not a secret.

If I continue to follow the man who has returned to his original form, do things that are beyond the expectations of major companies, and let them see what new technologies or money scene appear in these things, then I and Jack will not be able to live in peace for the rest of their lives.

Blowing up the Arasaka Tower is just to go against the Arasaka Group. Other companies will not meddle in this business, but may come to recruit themselves to do things for them.

And if the utilization value like an endless oil field is exposed, it means that all companies will be eyeing it. Even if they can't get it themselves, they will destroy it to prevent others from getting it. This is the fuse of corporate war.

She still has a good idea of ​​her abilities, and she must not become the target of public criticism, so she should leave now, find a place to stay, and see which way the wind blows tomorrow.

"Okay, let's take a step first and contact me if you need anything." V accepted the arrangement very simply, and then walked aside to kiss and hug Xili. It was obvious that he had another appointment.

It didn't take long for her and Jack to leave the dilapidated factory. As for how to get back to Night City from the wilderness, it was very simple. Just buy the Mandela taxi service package. After all, it's not too far from the city. Far, at most it’s just a matter of adding some money.

The two men left, Rogge's men patrolled and stood guard outside the factory, Xili continued to act as a crowd, and Su Ming had nothing to do in a short period of time.

He returned to the campfire, reached out and pulled some firewood, took out some marshmallows, and roasted them on the fire. The beer was also ready.

Summer nights in the wilderness are just like camping, perfect for roasting marshmallows.

At the same time, he was also observing Johnny and Rogge not far away, watching the two of them communicating and the man among them constantly smashing things like crazy.

Speaking of which, personality cloning technology has always had a philosophical problem, or it has been a problem since implants were invented and widely used. This is called the 'ship paradox'.

It is also known as the Ship of Theseus Paradox. It is a classic philosophical problem that mainly discusses issues of cognition, existence and change.

The main description of this paradox is: There is a wooden ship floating on the sea. Due to the constant renovation and replacement of wooden boards, the ship has not sunk for hundreds of years.

Whenever a board rots, it is replaced with a new one, and this continues until all boards have been replaced.

So the question arises: Is this ship, which has been constantly replaced with planks, still the same ship? If so, a reasonable explanation should be given. If not, at what point did it cease to be the same ship? If old parts removed from the ship of Theseus are used to build a new ship, which of the two ships is the real ship of Theseus?

This question is raised not only about ships, but also about what is the essence of objects or even individuals. Is only material form the proof of its existence?

If the concept of time is introduced, another paradox will arise, which is the so-called Yellow River problem, that is: Is the Yellow River today still the Yellow River yesterday?

The problem of the boat reveals the mystery of perceptual determination and self-awareness.

Because in human traditional concepts, this ship is a fixed concept of existence, that is to say, the perceived Ship of Theseus is the real Ship of Theseus, and the concept of Theseus is the Ship of Theseus. The ship must be absolutely still, perfectly unchanging.

However, if this ship undergoes various changes day by day in reality, then every part of it has been changed, and it should not be the ship of Theseus, nor can it become "itself".

The reason why this paradox is interesting is that it involves the ontology of philosophy, matter and consciousness, part and whole, purity and composition, existence and eternity.

So the Johnny Silverhand he resurrected, is he really Johnny Silverhand? Or someone else with the imprint of Johnny?

If a person's entire memory is copied into a new body, whether the new body is still the same person involves complex issues of identity recognition, consciousness, and memory.

First of all, having a person's memory does not make you and that person the same person. As a symbiote host, Su Ming knows this very well.

Even if the victim's memories, thinking habits, and living habits were copied into Su Ming's mind, his body would not be able to feel the original victim or empathize with him. It will not become a duplicate of the victim, and naturally it will not be the original person.

He can replace the victim and live his life without anyone noticing, because from the perspective of onlookers, the clone is basically the victim himself; but what about letting the victim see it himself? Will he feel that the death knell that owns all his memories is himself?

So, if a person loses his memory, or loses his original consciousness and is replaced with a new personality, is he still the same person? The body is, but the soul is not. Who knows that he has changed?

The things seen by spectators and subjectively are completely different, and some philosophical issues derived from implants and personality cloning technology are of some value to Su Ming.

The so-called thought, consciousness, as well as spirit and manifestation, maybe when they are completely unified, they will become the real God?

Su Ming just got a little inspiration and had some guesses, but he didn't want to become a god. He just needed a better 'angle' to observe the so-called gods, or to observe CAAT.

Because to humans, that guy is undoubtedly a high-level god, but if there is no way to completely observe it, let alone find its weaknesses and fight against it.

From the scenes he saw at TOAA before, Su Ming found that the CAAT he saw had different appearances when it appeared in different worlds.

So. is it what it is? Or is it not unique in its existence? Or is there something that I haven’t understood yet?

"Tsk, it seems I need some other inspiration."

Su Ming took back the marshmallow roasted on the fire, tore off a small piece to taste, and stuffed the rest into Strangler's mouth. It really liked sweets.
