Dragon Ball: Age of Earth Awakening

Hearing Dr. Gallo's deliberate inquiry, the man with eyes, Du Fei, was very patient. After all, it was still rare to have such a conversation.

The man with glasses made Dr. Gallo a cup of tea and asked, "Does the professor have any research on religion?"

"Sorry, I'm a materialist, but I still know something about these things."

He picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said: "Religion is a cultural system that connects people and gods or supernatural and sacred existences. It belongs to a special social ideology. Religion can be expressed in many forms, including rituals, preaching, worship, and sacrifices to gods. Form, and faith is considered to be the source of religious beliefs. Since ancient times, there has been a saying of dividing religions and establishing sects, that is, interpreting the two words of religion separately. Generally speaking, sect means a subjective and personal belief; religion means objective teachings. Another sect’s teachings are also called religion.”

Hearing this, the man with glasses also wiped his sweat. As expected of an engineering man, no matter what he said, he summed it up in the strongest words in one breath, making it impossible to refute.

"In addition, one may regard the sect as the unspoken religion and the religion as the spoken sect; or one may regard the sect as the sect and the religion as the sect. Do you have anything to add?" After all, Dr. Gallo is an engineering giant and only has a partial understanding of these. That's all, since the person in front of me dares to ask this, it means that he should be doing research in related fields.

Okay, I’ve basically made it clear in one sentence. The word “man with glasses” must be capitalized.

"Since the spread of Western academic thoughts to the east, the word religion is generally used in Buddhism. There are various different theories on its etymology, but they all contain the meaning of the union of gods and humans." The man with glasses added symbolically.

Dr. Gallo nodded in agreement, "The original meaning of the word religion refers to feelings of fear, uneasiness, etc. about supernatural things. Later, there are supernatural things that become the objects of feelings, and the external expressions of feelings. The meaning of ritual further refers to the system of group and organizational beliefs, doctrines, and rituals.”

"System" the bespectacled man's pupils lit up. He used the word for real seconds, "Yes, this is a system. Human beings attach meaning to mysterious forces or phenomena with superhuman power, regard them as absolute ideal subjects, and generate fear, With the thoughts of holiness, trust, refuge, and respect, we can then implement rituals such as sacrifice, prayer, and worship, and list precepts, creeds, etc. as norms for daily life, in order to establish a peaceful life and develop a perfect personality."

"Perfect personality. However, there are no people with perfect personality in this world. You should know." Dr. Gallo sarcastically said.

"It is true that no one is perfect, and there will be no perfect personality in this world, so let me ask Dr. Gallo..."

The tone changed, and the man with glasses asked seriously: ""Is there perfect science in this world?"

When I heard this question, I immediately asked Dr. Gallo to think, "You want to use a scientific system to refer to a so-called religious system?"

"The division of labor is clear, the differences are similar, and there is a strict management system. Aren't these all the same?"

It sounds reasonable, but in fact it makes no sense. Du Fei continued: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with studying religion from the perspective of materialism, right?"

"I think you are talking about the conclusion of looking at religion from a materialist perspective rather than looking at religion neutrally. Pay attention to the distinction between materialistic objectivity and essential objectivity."

Hearing that the man with glasses seemed to disagree with Dr. Gallo's views, he couldn't help but ask: "Is there any difference?"

"Personally, I think the difference lies in whether one party's existing concepts are used to define the other party's concepts. I think there are many times when they cannot be equated. Therefore, whether it is a lack caused by qualitative change and whether it is a violation of the inherent nature of the organ cannot be said so simply. Especially at a time when many people do not really understand religion and do not want to understand it, according to science and philosophy, they mainly judged it from a materialist perspective, forming an idealistic and illusory view of religion, but even from a scientific perspective , drawing conclusions without doing research is also very inconsistent with the purpose of science, isn't it? Please reserve your opinion."

Amazing, he is indeed a world-famous doctor. Dr. Gallo's answers were almost airtight, but none of these comments could affect Du Fei.

Dr. Gallo went on to ask, "Would jailbreaking your brain negate science."

"Of course not. However, the current scientific flaws are not obvious. They all use mathematical methods to decompose the system and then combine the model."

"But if we can open up a holistic research method, it will be a new path. In this way, it will be much easier to study self-organized systems. Isn't it?"

"Of course, the current research methods in aspects such as life and consciousness are detours, and there is no way to deal with chaotic structures such as turbulence. Unfortunately, this kind of thinking is not yet necessary, and may not even be used by current humans. .”

Although the words were beautiful, Dr. Gallo was very disdainful. He shook his head and said: "There are many religious people, but it is really useless. After all, everyone talks about nonsense differently, so there are so many people in the world. There are so many different religious beliefs, and the purpose of religious belief is nothing more than to make you believe in and worship a god. It is nothing more than a means to control those who do not understand knowledge. These people also despise those who are atheistic and have no faith. Let me ask you, when disaster strikes, it is science that saves people. Where is God?"

"But don't you yourself know that those gods are civil servants in the divine realm?"

"If they say they are in the God Realm, that's just what they call themselves. Who said they must be gods?"

"It makes sense. Even if science cannot prove that God does not exist, what is the use of meaningless religious beliefs to mankind? What is wrong with worshiping money? If religion does not play a role in human development, what is the point of believing in God and worshiping Buddha? If it helps people, they should simply give up science and return to primitive society where everyone will cultivate immortality."

Dr. Gallo started to get angry. In fact, he knew very well that what the man with glasses wanted to express was not a religious issue, nor a scientific or unscientific issue. The brain jailbreak must be related to this, so he could not be led around. At this time, He needs an opponent like him, who will disregard all objections and doubts, and let the self-proclaimed scientist in front of him refute himself. After a confrontation, the truth will naturally come to light.

"Although science and religion are both ways to pursue the truth, after all, science is based on facts. What is the difference between being divorced from reality and psychotic fantasy? If you can study the truth just by relying on imagination, then scientists are not all madmen. It’s all science, even if it’s crazy, so don’t talk about religion. I think it’s just nonsense. Scientists can’t confirm my random thoughts. Could it be that what I say exists?”

Du Fei curled his lips. If Dr. Gallo was not the best scientist, he must be the strongest keyboard warrior.

"It's like before the invention of the telescope, the geocentric theory advocated by religion has always been the mainstream. The elder brother who proposed the geocentric theory was also burned to death. It was not until the invention of the telescope that mankind knew the truth. Is it true that what religion said before that was correct? If the baseless logic can be regarded as true, then the world will no longer exist."

It makes sense, and these words are also facts. If you insist on refuting it, you need to provide evidence. Unfortunately, Du Fei has no intention of engaging in religious issues at all.

"But why are there such powerful gods...I mean, civil servants exist."

Dr. Gallo smiled and said: "I believe that the concept of this word also belongs to science. I feel that you are simply trying to confuse religious belief with science. Although science cannot verify unknown things, science is logical, at least it has All science and technology are things that can be proven in reality. Unknown things should at least be overturned from known things, just like the geocentric theory was a religious truth for mankind before it became a fact. Before mankind invented the telescope, religion In order to maintain the rule, heliocentric theory is not allowed, and even scientists who really use objective facts to study are burned to death. Do you think that assumptions can be used as conclusions? If more people believe in religion, will the world develop to what it is now?"

"Does religion bring anything of value to people? You confuse the scientific research method by first assuming and then confirming this. Just like religion, it is also correct to make people believe in religion. Isn't this the same as brainwashing?"

"The hypotheses put forward by scientific research are at least based on reality, and will at least be verified before they can be applied. Religion is not only unverifiable, but also something that does not exist in reality. You are completely confusing the audition. If the brain escape is like you said, if it is explored with religion If it does matter, then the whole world will fall into chaos. If there is no logical basis, then whatever you imagine will come true, but is this useful to humans?"

"If humans don't have scientific research, if they have purely religious ideas, humans will directly regress to primitive society. It is human scientific inventions that bring humans closer to reality. Obviously science is the fastest way to research, but we have to study this bullshit religion. Something that doesn’t make sense is like whether humans can get closer to the unknown without using high technology and using the lifestyle of prehistoric humans.”

It’s so powerful, almost leaving no room, and completely blocking the questioning. As expected of Dr. Gallo, it is really painful to communicate with such an expert. I wonder if those who communicated with Dr. Gallo in the past were also in such pain. .

"You are really amazing. I just briefly explained the connection between brain escape and religion, without making too radical an argument. As a result, you made me unable to speak at all."

Indeed, for some reason, chatting with Dr. Gallo for a moment actually reminded him of the short bridge fighting in Wing Chun. To put it simply, it is to predict the enemy's movements, and then quickly approach that person to perform a close-quarters attack. Fighting without giving any chance not only blocks the opponent's movements, but also seizes all subsequent moves.

This is what Dr. Gallo is doing now. The so-called peerless master is worthy of someone like him. Before having an academic discussion with him, you must be prepared to be cornered by him and have nothing to say.

He has reached the point where as long as you make a proposal, he can ask all your subsequent arguments based on a few words of yours, leaving you speechless.

"Guru~"

After moistening his throat, he basically finished the explanation. If the kid in front of him hadn't said some key points about "brain jailbreak", then he would have to go back to work.

This is indeed true. If you insist on saying so, the management of religion is really a process, it can even be said to be a project. If you want to dissect it, it is definitely not something that can be done with a summary.

"In my opinion, many things can be used as a reference, and computer programs are probably like this."

"I don't know what brain jailbreak you are talking about," Dr. Gallo said, focusing on the key point. "What does this have to do with religion?"

The man with the eyes sighed heavily, seeming to feel relieved. When Dr. Gallo asked this question, he thought that the genius scientist in front of him had listened to his words. If it were those people before, they would have regarded him as a god. Stick, tell him to get lost. I have seen too many similar scenes, and I will shed tears if I talk about them too many times.

"The phenomenon of religion is a subject in a historical category. Archaeology has confirmed that religion does not accompany the history of human society, and it must be only a staged social phenomenon. Therefore, when human society develops to a certain stage, human beings will not Religion will disappear as long as its role and function are needed.”

Seeing that his research was elaborating on religious issues, Dr. Gallo was not anxious. He knew that religion must be inseparable from brain escape. "Yes, you are right. A simple example is the totem belief of human ancestors. , Totems are very sacred things to the tribes composed of human ancestors, and now they have become relics. Only artists and historians are interested in totems."

"Hahahaha. Yes, that's the case, so most of them go to the possibility of brain escape."

"Sure enough, you want to explain the religious tools that lead people to brain escape"

"It's more of a method than a tool..."

Dr. Gallo breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Give me a metaphor, something vivid."

"Problems with computer programs."

"You mean everything is like a script, it has been written long ago."

"Yes, I think this world is a script, a script that has been written long ago."

The corners of Dr. Gallo's eyes moved slightly. In fact, he almost misunderstood and thought that Du Fei was talking about the doctrine of predestination. However, Dr. Gallo seemed to vaguely understand something. This script was not that script.

"Once there is a bug in the program, we may see things outside of the program. This can be understood as program jailbreak."

"For example, a Trojan horse virus was implanted"

"Correct."

"Then, what do you want to say?"

"People who jailbreak their brains must have found program bugs in the script of this world, and then used all methods to achieve jailbreak, snooped into the main function library, and even betrayed all the programmer's information."
