After reading "Superbody", I felt suffocated. For a moment, I suddenly understood that theology is also a "science", or the ultimate form of science.

This movie completely visualizes the book I have been thinking about and reading recently. Everyone’s brain has limitations, so I’ll share what I’ve seen and understood from my limited perspective.

Three points: "memes", "time", "evolution"

Generally speaking, the insignificance of human beings lies in the fact that this world is dominated by time, followed by " "Meme", time pushes "meme" forward, so there is evolution, and people are just a host selected by memes.

Regarding memes, I have excerpted an excerpt at the end of the article. Those who are interested can also check the book "The Selfish Gene" written by Richard Dawkins in 1976. In some places, memes are also translated as Meme.

To put it simply, a meme is a flash of inspiration in the brain, which is what we usually call knowledge. It is what Lucy said on the plane "to knowledge".

Human beings have always been trapped in the limitations of self-cognition. This limitation is caused by the contradictory relationship between limited life and infinite cognition. When can humans break through this limitation? The traditional method adopted by humans is to reproduce. , Reproduction is a way of transmitting life information.

From our own perspective, it seems that we humans are evolving to rule the world. But suppose we change our perspective and look at it from the perspective of time, the master of all things. At the same time, we will make another metaphor. Memes or "knowledge" are likened to viruses, and people are likened to hosts. The reality is this: the virus has found a good host - the human brain. The virus resides in the human brain. This is a hotbed that can promote the evolution of the virus (try to think back, do you often have flashes of light in your mind? A flash of feeling, because of someone’s words or a knowledge point in a book, I suddenly had an idea. This is the process of recombination and fission of viruses). Just like the theory of evolution, viruses “unconsciously” give rise to various changes. body, but the result of natural selection always tends to develop the part of the virus that survives. In this process, the host also gains benefits. The virus drives the human brain, and the brain drives the human being to make changes and create various tools ( Try to recall that the oil paintings, mobile phones, guns, computers, etc. we create are all based on an idea in the brain and then realized with our hands), bringing about changes in ourselves and the surrounding world.

Okay, I don’t know if I can understand the meaning of the above. Now let’s go back to "Super Body". First of all, Lucy’s body accidentally absorbed CHP4 and gained energy, which rapidly increased the brain’s thinking speed. In other words, a catalyst has been added to the hotbed of the virus. The virus is fissioning and recombining more rapidly. When the speed reaches a certain level, the stable form of the host, the human being, is no longer enough to carry the super-energy virus, so the stable form is Destroyed, Lucy's body became molecularized on the plane.

If you think this scene is supernatural or too sci-fi, try to look at all things from the perspective of time as mentioned above. All things are molecules, and a bunch of molecules within a certain energy range make up a person. , another bunch of molecules make up pigs, dogs, rabbits, or earth, water, and fire, which are just temporary forms. When the "speed" reaches a certain level, the stable form is destroyed, just like a rocket flying away from the gravity of the earth and flying into the universe, breaking the orbit around it. The stable form of the Earth's rotation.

So after Lucy woke up in the hospital, she was no longer a "person". She was already a molecule integrated into everything, and she was temporarily reorganized into Lucy's body based on her mood to show it to us. All of her actions are easy to understand. She is interacting with the outside world as a molecule, including visualizing signals, lifting people up to the ceiling, changing her hands at will, and all the other things shown later. The paragraph where Lucy taught the doctor about her experience also illustrates this.

Another analogy

In the computer virtual world, everything is composed of 0 and 1, and 0 and 1 are not real, but two states. .

In this virtual world, 0 and 1 form an image according to certain rules, or form a piece of music according to another set of rules. It seems that they all operate according to certain rules, but we can do it. Change the rules and let it mutate into another form.

By analogy with our "physical" world, our bodies are just molecules composed of physical bodies according to genetic coding, and our growth process also relies on the absorption and aggregation of other molecules in nature. So since we are aggregated from molecules in nature, there may be a "reverse" process back to molecules. If we can break the rules, we can change various forms "at will" and interact with nature. How to break the rules, maybe speed exceeds time.

Okay, that’s all. I’ll give you a rough explanation of what I understand. I don’t know if you have received the memes I conveyed. Going back to what I said at the beginning, the insignificance of people lies in , this world is dominated by time, followed by "memes". Time drives "memes" forward, so there is evolution, and people are just a host selected by memes.
