"I think I am a person who thinks hard and is not stupid, but I can't quite understand many questions. There is a lyric that can best describe it: it's not that I don't understand, the world changes quickly."

Teacher Wan talks about Cui Jian's lyrics, which is the most common theme for Cui Jian. The rapid change of reality makes people confused. People have an instinctive resistance mentality for anything they don't understand.

If the change is too fast and there is no time to think and analyze, you will even be angry. This is the basic characteristics of early Chinese rock, shouting and anger. Screaming means feeling that your voice is too small. Anger is because you can do nothing.

However, their shouts and anger are not very constructive. They just want to deconstruct what they want to deconstruct and have no ability to create anything. Why is there always a sense of accusation that the voice is too small? Because they grew up in the era of heroism, they always believed that man conquer nature. As a result, reality is not the heaven at all. In fact, it is the land under your feet, and you cannot influence it. This has nothing to do with the size of the sound, but only with ability. If you do not have the ability to affect the people around you, they are always shouting.

The so-called anger actually cannot change ourselves and our surroundings. The world does not do what I think. We don’t blame ourselves for thinking wrong, but always feel that the world is wrong.

If the world is wrong and the reality is wrong, your shouting is similar to the nature of a madman. Just like when I was a child, I was dissatisfied and picked up a stone to hit the sky. When I encountered extreme situations, throwing the stones from the sky will reversely hit my head. The rock at that time had a tendency to be self-abuse, so some so-called singers embarked on the road of drug use.

Physiologically, pleasure is just a reaction of chemical substances such as dopamine. Psychologically, it is just an encounter. However, an alternative feature of it is always abused. Pleasure corresponds to pain. Based on this, some people create a little pain, causing the feeling of happiness when there is no pain. Self-abuse occurs and forms dependence. Just like a patient with alcohol dependence, if he does not cause headaches and vomiting, he cannot feel the happiness in normal health.

"As you said, thinking is useless. Even if you are as smart, diligent and professional as you are, thinking cannot keep up with reality?"

Xiao Hu's question reminds me of a essay I wrote a few years ago. China ran too fast. Not to mention that many people fell behind and complained, even the cheerleaders watching the competition, I felt that the people on the track were too fast and could not tell the figures of the players.

"Maybe," said Teacher Wan: "Actually, I just want the simplest question, why run and where to run, I didn't think clearly about these two questions. What power and goal are the ones that make people run?"

"People don't have to think about it before doing it. For example, children learn to climb and walk, but they just imitate for the sake of imitation. They don't think about the direction and purpose of their journey. This is exactly the most interesting thing."

I just used this example. After thinking about what to do, I can't take a step in a long time.

"Are you going to deny the value of thought?"

Teacher Wan put a big hat on it, and of course I didn’t accept it. “Maybe, the value and expression of thought are not what we thought.”

I avoided this topic of value, because as long as you talk about value, you need to have judgments. If you have judgments, there will be right and wrong. But in reality, there is no right and wrong. "Heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs", can we talk about right and wrong in heaven and earth? This is not just Taoist thought, but Confucianism is the same. Confucius said: "What does heaven mean? What does heaven mean?"

The reality is here, the rules will never change, is this good or bad? What value judgments are there?

"Maybe Teacher Zhuang is right. We need to transform and adjust our thinking patterns. Otherwise, if we cannot recognize the reality, the contradiction will become more and more serious." Xiao Hu said: "To be honest, thinking simply by using logical methods may not keep up with the pace of reality. The smartest thinking may not be good at philosophers."

"What does it mean?" Teacher Wan is not afraid of you belittling philosophy. He is interested in it as long as you have something new. This is a true scholar who is willing to provide respect for any new discoveries.

"We have said before that logical thinking begins to dominate the peak of human thinking since transcending linear thinking. Because from describing line segments to describing surfaces, from one dimension to two dimensions, this is a leap. However, in reality, at least from spatial descriptions, we all know that it is three-dimensional. If we only use two-dimensional tools, is it too rough? We all know three-dimensional space, and we feel it. But rationally insist on two-dimensional analysis methods, does it need to be improved?"

"Are you talking about mathematical thinking?" Teacher Wan really had an impression and thought about what we discussed some time ago, so he reacted so quickly.

"Maybe. Three-dimensional space plus time is the four-dimensional thinking method. Since Einstein, theoretical physicists and topology mathematicians have entered the four-dimensional thinking mode, while philosophers are still spinning in two-dimensional thinking such as contradictions and concepts, which is behind."

This is not just a backwardness, but in terms of time, it has been at least a hundred years behind. I said: "No wonder, I heard a theoretical physicist in Beijing say that it is difficult to produce masters who know everything in this world. It is not because there are no smart people, nor because there is too much knowledge, but because there is no thinking model that everyone can understand and can summarize the results of today's cognition. Before this model was born, the master did not exist."

"I admit that the golden age of philosophers has passed. But how far has the new mathematical and physical thinking developed?" Teacher Wan asked without shame. Facing me, two young and unprofessional people, he also maintained awe and modesty for knowledge. This is his quality.

"Based on the sense of reality, philosophical thinking has lagged behind our feelings of reality. For example, simulating three-dimensional space with two-dimensional mode is definitely lagging behind. The development of mathematics and physics has surpassed feelings and walked ahead of feelings. Even, it can explain the reasons and mechanisms behind feelings, which is advanced."

Xiao Hu's division method is very clear. The connection between reality and people depends on feelings. People understand reality through their own feelings and understand reality through their own thinking. If the thinking mode cannot even keep up with their own feelings, then this thinking mode needs progress or revolution.

"What do you mean is that modern mathematics and physics have come to the forefront of our feelings and can guide us in the direction?" Teacher Wan specially used the word "guidance", which has philosophical meaning.

Xiao Hu keenly discovered the meaning of this word: "We cannot say that there is any guidance for ordinary people's thinking and life, but at least, the results they produce are exposed to are something that everyone is exposed to. For example, artificial intelligence, space exploration, and quantum mechanics, have exceeded our experience and even imagined range."

"You tell me in detail, don't simplify it here." Teacher Wan held the teacup in his hand. Although the water had already been drunk, he seemed to have forgotten the existence of the teacup. Selflessness is probably in this state.

"I don't know much, but I just read a few books and read a few magazines. My level is only equivalent to the popular science level of the public. However, I am still amazed that the results of their research make it difficult for me, a self-smart person, to understand. For example, Einstein's general relative recognition and denying the existence of force fundamentally denies Newton's mechanics theorem. He believes that force is just the product of time and space distortion. Of course, we regard his conclusion as another paradigm of explanation, but it has been recognized by physicists and successfully verified in practice. This is the leap of thinking mode."

"I have heard of this theory, and what else?" Teacher Wan is indeed a person who loves to learn. I have also heard about this theory in Beijing.

"For example, quantum mechanics, quantum entanglements about the microscopic world are not something we can understand with common sense."

Teacher Wan finally found that there was no tea in the cup in his hand. He put it down and poured a cup of tea. After thinking for a while, he said, "This is very clear. Our thinking is worth much." He did not look depressed. With his noble spirit of seeking knowledge, proving himself wrong is also a result.

"No, perhaps, flat thinking also has its value, otherwise the contribution of logic to the progress of human thought and science will not be explained."

First, beat a handful and then give a candy. Xiao Hu said this in reverse, and I didn't know his true intentions anymore.

"There is a theory called holographic theory. It is also an important discovery of modern physics. In mathematics, it has also opened up huge research space for it. Let me give you an example first, which is people's research on black holes."

This is the hottest topic today. Hawking, the man who was lying in a wheelchair, pushed this theory to the public. His own strange characteristics and his theoretical strange characteristics constitute all the popular elements.

"A black hole is the boundary of our observation. Of course, it is not the end point of the universe, it is just the end point of our observation. It can absorb all light, so the tool of our observation: light ends there. So someone asked, how deep is the black hole? I don't know, because the observation ends, we can only observe that it is a plane. What is its power and motion law? Because of the end of observation, we cannot accurately describe it. However, we can simulate it based on the nebula around it. Of course, what we see is just a plane, that is, the observation results of the celestial body movement affected by the black hole are two-dimensional. We know that the world space is three-dimensional. Can the three-dimensional world be simulated by a two-dimensional method? Maybe it can!"

This conclusion surprised us and overturned our previous understanding.

"I was also surprised when I saw this inference at first. In fact, just by making an example, we understand. For example, when we take photos, the photos are just two-dimensional images, but we can imagine its three-dimensional real scene. Why? Because two-dimensional images are also a holographic image, which contains all the information of the three-dimensional world. For example, in two-dimensional images, there are only two-dimensional characteristics such as size, light, dark, and color. However, we can imagine distances and nears according to the size. Isn't this three-dimensional? Three-dimensional? Even when we watch three-dimensional movies, two blurry two-dimensional images, as long as they are properly combined and wear special glasses, they can see the three-dimensional effect, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes," Teacher Wan slapped the table and almost scared us. He was just surprised: "Don't talk about three-dimensional movies, just movies. When we are fully focused on watching, we give us the understanding and feeling that is completely three-dimensional in space, and even speed and time are added. This is a four-dimensional thing. In fact, movies are just two-dimensional images taken on film."

Xiao Hu's metaphor is very exquisite: photos and three-dimensional movies. Teacher Wan also performs well: movie experience and film. According to normal standards, Teacher Wan is considered a person with quick thinking.

"So, two-dimensional images can simulate three-dimensional or even four-dimensional reality. Where is the theoretical basis?" Teacher Wan is an academic school, and he needs the unity of big premises and small premises and conclusions.

"I think holographic theory may be a basis point for the theory. After all, all two-dimensional images can contain all information in all dimensions."

I thought of a sentence: "A flower, a world, a leaf, and a bodhi, is it also a holographic theory?"

"It can be regarded as. Flowers and leaves not only show the image and color, but also show the relationship with soil sunlight, temperature, humidity and air. Things are generally related. Perhaps the philosopher's words also reflect holographic theory."

Teacher Wan finally found a term that integrates with his major, or a self-consistent way to integrate the basic principles of philosophy with holographic theory. He continued to ask: "Xiao Hu just said it was a basis point, is there another theoretical basis point?"

Xiao Hu laughed: "I'm not professional. I'm just my personal interests and opinions, two teachers. However, I have thought about it. Everything related to understanding cannot be separated from people. Only things that people can know have meaning and value. The movement of heaven and earth remains unchanged. If it has no impact on people, what is its significance? In philosophy, do you also talk about subjectism?"

Teacher Wan nodded: "If you emphasize subjectism too much, you will easily be idealistic. If you emphasize objectism too much, you will easily be mechanical and materialistic. The combination of the two is complete. For example, the more money, the better, but if it has nothing to do with me, it doesn't matter whether it is good or bad. People say that more money, the better, the potential meaning is: the more money I have, the better. I am the subject, and money is the object. If the two are not combined, there is no value."

"You have a good metaphor, Teacher Wan. Knowledge is the function of the human brain. If all our understanding comes from one-sided feelings, it is just an image, temperature or slightness. But the ability of the human brain can integrate all these fragmented information into a holographic impression and obtain a holographic projection. If the human brain does not have the ability to reflect the holographic world, then the possibility of two-dimensional reflection of the three-dimensional or even four-dimensional world will no longer exist."

Then I realized that Xiao Hu's reasoning was very rigorous. His meaning was summed up in two sentences: First, all things in the world contain information from the entire universe, which is called holographic. Second, the human brain has the ability to integrate this information and form a holographic impression in the mind.

"What a familiar theory!" I also slapped the table. I was probably quite strong, and I could hear the sound of teacup and teapot jumping. Of course, among these three people, I was relatively strong, and the slap at that time was also subconscious. "No one could get it by patting the railings." When you meet a soulmate or understand a master's words, you will be happy to forget to eat, and you will be involuntarily.

"It's so familiar. This meaning is very consistent with the oldest thought in our country. If we talk about it in a big way, is there any meaning of unity between man and nature?"

They were probably frightened by my excitement, or wanted to listen to me, but they both looked at me and remained motionless.

"To be honest, I have studied the Book of Changes for a long time and used it to calculate fortunes. The success rate of calculating for others also exceeds the random statistical probability, which means that it has certain accuracy. I asked my teacher how several simple hexagrams can simulate such complex fates of human beings? The teacher said that although these hexagrams are simple, they are iconic symbols extracted from complex human phenomena. From weather changes to personal success or reversal, they can be roughly simulated. I continued to ask the teacher, where is the basis of this simulation? The teacher replied: the unity of man and nature."

They looked at me for no reason, as if they were confused by my narrative. I continued: "The harmony between man and man may contain two principles. First, the movement of the universe must be reflected in humans. Second, people can recognize, or at least simulate this kind of operation."

The scene eased, and they all took a sip of tea and fell into deep thought. After a long time, Teacher Wan asked: "Teacher Zhuang, I am the only lesson. Critical superstition and idealism are my major. However, among the superstitions they mentioned, fortune-telling is the most important content. We cannot criticize it logically. I have always wanted to understand it, but I have not found an expert. All the fortune-tellers I met were liars, not the ones described in the Book of Changes. I thought that in Chinese civilization, such masters had interrupted their inheritance. I didn't expect that if you met you here today, you were born in a professional class."

"I'm not a professional, but I have studied it systematically for two years with my teacher and have experienced nearly ten years of practice. I have some experiences." I was forced to briefly introduce the basic content I learned from Mr. Dong and his later practical experience. Of course, during the introduction, I only talk about academics, not about personal emotions and life, because this is not something they are interested in.

"I've confirmed it, Teacher Zhuang, be my teacher. Even if I want to refute it, at least I have to understand it is not? How to understand it? You must clarify the source and understand it from strict inheritors of traditional culture. You are such a person."

I quickly became modest: "I can't afford it, but I just learned a little bit of a fur."

Teacher Wan and I were polite, but Xiao Hu suddenly interrupted: "Don't be busy, don't be polite, I want to ask a question. Teacher Zhuang, can you confirm that through this fortune telling of the I Ching, you can draw a conclusion that exceeds the random probability?"

"Strictly speaking, the accuracy rate of a single judgment of a single event is about 70%. "I have to say rigorous words to Xiao Hu, because he is so young and smart that he cannot lead him wrongly. "Of course, the factors of life are complicated. If you want to make predictions about life in a comprehensive way, I don't have that ability."

Xiao Hu also slapped the table, and it was a big deal today. All three of us had a grudge against the table. "I want your conclusion. Teacher Zhuang, the accuracy of a single judgment of a single event is a typical standard mathematical material, which can be fully confirmed that predictions are effective. The method you use is useful."

Teacher Wan obviously didn't understand: "Predicting the whole life is the purpose of fortune-telling. Is this single judgment worth less?"

"No, Teacher Wan, you know that in mathematics, the statistics that can be standardized can be calculated to draw conclusions. There are only two results for a single event: yes or non-value judgment. There are only two results: good or bad. The probability of these two results appearing should be similar. According to Teacher Zhuang's practice, he has probably experienced thousands of predictions. Statistically, the number of samples is enough. Then, if the accuracy rate depends on randomness, it can only be five to five. But by using the method of the Book of Changes, the accuracy can reach seven to three. Isn't this mathematical effect?"

Teacher Wan asked: "Mathematically effective, which fortune teller cares about these things?"

"You are wrong, Teacher Wan. There is no 100% thing in the world. For example, it is effective in medicine, and there is no 100% cure rate. It is quite good to have an 80% efficiency, and it can be regarded as a special medicine. Therefore, Teacher Zhuang's practice has indirectly proved the possibility of unity between man and nature, and indirectly proved the feasibility of the two basic points of holographic theory."

I was also surprised, it wasn't that great, right? "Xiao Hu, don't be excited. Fortune telling is not only related to the ability to understand the I Ching, but also to fortune teller like me, the subjective impression and emotional judgment at that time. Perhaps, I improved accuracy through my intuitive ability?"

"It doesn't matter, Teacher Zhuang, all mathematics, statistics or the Book of Changes are subjective products. Bagua is not the world, it is just a simulation of the world. The human brain is not life, but it can simulate life. The accuracy of subjective cognition shows that we can correctly simulate the world and prove that the function of the human brain is too great."

Teacher Wan looked at me and showed an expression of incomprehension. He looked at Xiao Hu again and asked: "Is the subjective color too serious?"

"You philosophers love to label. If the subjective does not have this ability, how can humans rely on to think? The human level of understanding is progressing every day. Logically speaking, does it mean that the human mind is born with this ability to understand or simulate the world?"

Xiao Hu, a psychology student, talked about logic to a philosophy professor, and made the philosophy professor speechless. I was also drunk.
Chapter completed!
