Chapter 1729 Prisoners of the Cave
"What's that picture? Seeing the truth of the world is like this."
Cai Gen looked at where Zeus was pointing, but there was nothing there.
Could it be that the truth of the world is nothingness?
Or is it that there are no hairs?
It's a little too philosophical, too stream-of-consciousness.
Apart from shaking my head to express that I don't understand, I really can't pretend to do it.
Zeus saw Cai Gen shaking his head and suddenly realized.
“I forgot to draw a picture for you, the little cutie’s sequelae are very stubborn.
It makes me not very clear-headed, haha, haha. ”
As he spoke, Zeus drew a dark cave on the wall.
The effect is pretty good, comparable to Tamamo's projection.
If these people apply magic and other things to people's livelihood projects, they will definitely greatly improve the happiness of the people.
In the cave, there was a group of people, their hands and feet bound, looking at a wall in the cave. Various projections appeared on the wall.
Behind the crowd, there is a wall. Behind the wall, there are people holding various props high and using the fire in the wall to project onto the wall.
Zeus seemed to interpret the work he was doing in another, more primitive way.
However, there are less people who are bound.
"Yes, that's probably what it means.
This is the truth of our world.
We are born bound prisoners who cannot walk away or look back.
We can only see the illusion projected on the wall by the firelight, thinking that is the only real world.
As everyone knows, there are many manipulators behind us, influencing our cognition.
That picture or whatever, it was about untying the restraints, standing up, and seeing the fire and the manipulator behind the wall.
In the words of Tu, all of us in the Lashi world are prisoners bound in a cave.
The illusions we see on the walls throughout our lives are the visible world.
The fire and the operator behind it are the sensible world.
The world outside the cave is the knowable world.
This is the truth of the world. ”
As Zeus explained, the pictures on the wall also changed.
Although simple and intuitive, it contains a lot of information.
Cai Gen tried hard to understand, but it felt a little familiar.
Visible world, sensible world, knowable world?
It seems that this is the meaning of "The Matrix" I watched before?
What you see is not what it is, and you are fond of idealistic theories.
As a liberal arts student, Cai Gen's materialist values were deeply rooted in his bones, which was a bit unacceptable for a while. The span was too big.
Zeus interrupted Cai Gen's thinking and pointed at the prisoner on the wall.
"What is that picture? When I first proposed it, I was shocked.
I thought he really discovered the secret to our world domination.
As a result, he said that we are all prisoners, whether mortals or gods, we are all prisoners who are bound.
Then I won't be happy. ”
Zeus pointed again at the manipulator behind the wall.
"I think we Protoss should be the manipulators behind the wall.
Mortals can only see what we want them to see.
This is more reasonable, after all, we have absolute control. ”
Zeus was right. Generally speaking, superiors think about problems this way. After all, the masses are easily incited and easily controlled.
The collective wisdom will not be significantly improved due to the increase in the number of people. Instead, it will be infinitely reduced due to the influence of the average.
That's why there is a saying that the truth is in the hands of a few people.
Cai Gen diverged his thoughts and agreed with Zeus's judgment based on reality.
“As I said just now, when I’m not happy, I just like to have a few drinks.
Then I lost control and took the picture to death. I didn't feel anything bad at the time. Who told him to blaspheme?
Later, the smelly cook came.
I realized that I had never been a manipulator.
He is the bound prisoner.
Everything I saw was beyond my control.
The clown turns out to be himself. ”
Cai Gen stopped Zeus from falling into his own emotions again. It would be bad to attract the little cutie later.
"Old Zhou, please restrain yourself and don't add too many personal feelings.
Just say it, don't make it too complicated. ”
Zeus didn't like Cai Gen interrupting his rhythm, so he tried not to complain.
"The smelly cook pulled me out of the cave.
Let me see the sun.
However, having been in darkness for a long time, I was directly dazzled by the strong light of the sun and could not see anything.
He told me that this is the truth of the world.
The sun, trees, flowers, rivers, and mountains are real.
But I couldn't see it, and I didn't want to accept it. I said he was a liar.
The hot sun burned my skin. I thought the cook was a bad person and he made me suffer.
I wanted to beat him to death, but he sighed and ran away.
Before I left, I was told that in any world, you cannot hide in a cave forever, and sooner or later you will be baptized by the sun.
Those who are prepared will bring parasols, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
Those who are not prepared will become blind, die from the sun, and get sunburned.
I didn't understand what he meant and thought he was being alarmist.
Back in the cave, I continued to be the manipulator I thought I was.
I thought that life in the cave would go on forever, without end.
However, once again I was wrong.
The smelly cook had planted seeds in the cave a long time ago, and eventually they had bad consequences, forcing us to leave the cave.
Cai Gen, do you understand?
The stinky cook once gave me a chance, but due to my arrogance, I completely missed it.
When I realized what I was doing, I regretted it too much.
The world of Rashi is already riddled with holes and all living beings are in ruins.
Fortunately, the stinky cook didn't do everything right, and still left a glimmer of hope. Even though the world of Laxi was ruined, it was not completely destroyed.
After joining the Shenzhou World, although the original name was forgotten, it still existed.
This is the most gratifying point for me and the most satisfying answer in my career as a God King. ”
Cai Gen stared straight at the animation on the wall, his mind already wandering to Naiman Bridge.
The last time someone gave himself such an abstract analogy, it was Du Ming.
What kind of small trees, what kind of felled trees, what kind of solar electric heaters, etc.
Anyway, various metaphors have almost exhausted Cai Gen’s ability to understand.
At this moment, the metaphor of Zeus is only a lot more than that of Solo.
Cai Gen's brain immediately crashed.
My understanding ability can't keep up.
What sun, what sunscreen, what seeds, and what consequences?
Zeus spoke too implicitly, and Cai Gen was deceived.
"Wait, Lao Zhou, can you say it again?
What you said is a bit confusing. Can you use metaphors and be more straightforward? ”
Zeus was immediately furious. He patiently explained it to you Cai Gen in such detail. Why should he blame himself for being messy and picky?
The God King has no temper?
The God King doesn’t want to lose face?
Does Cai Gen have any misunderstanding about the God King?
Has the God King's bad temper been forgotten by others?
