About the coronavirus
Although technology has developed to this day, we still cannot determine the origin of consciousness, whether people have free will, and all areas related to emotions are still difficult to explain scientifically. Love and hope, the altruism of human nature, sounds like chicken soup, but it is still the only way to resist the selfish genes of human beings and to highlight the unique meaning of human beings.
Kant said that there are only two things in the world that can deeply shock our hearts: the vast starry sky above our heads, and the lofty moral law in our hearts.
In wittgenstein's words, we must remain silent about anything that cannot be said.
Yin Ye: "Now that energy and matter are inseparable, energy must have a material basis." Consciousness naturally consumes substances. Therefore, the idea is an important theoretical basis for a person. Today, at the scientific level, the physical and psychological are inseparable. ”
As Yin Ye said in the last season:
When we leave this world, I hope that you have experienced both magic and human cuteness, and you have used your selfless humanity to overcome the selfishness of genes. If life is a set of code, which is my original, I believe there is love in human code.
