Chapter 251: Postscript 5 of the book Interpretation of key events

Views:

Since this book focuses on the topic of "seeing yourself", the first season uses the form of Haoning's novels, and uses the first-person method to highlight the concept of "I" and from the perspective of "I", The psychological performance of seeing the gods for the first time will also be more prominent, so the first season is named I see the gods, and everyone will follow the "I" of Haoning's novel to understand the whole past. .

But judging from the whole novel "Liao Zhai of the Gods", the story of this book is like this: Hao Ning and Zhou Yuan went out to play, met Yan by accident, and found that Zhou Yuan had lost his soul. , Yan was trapped in the mirror (why he was trapped in the mirror is a small joke, which will be explained later). In order to save Zhou Yuan, under the guidance of Yan, Hao Ning and Liu Shuai first found Yunzi Zhang Quan, and then found Zhang Chihang. After Zhang Chihang surrendered Long Fei, Hao Ning helped Zhang Chihang overcome the traitor who strayed into the Three Kingdoms Period. After Fanggu's Xiaohong, Zhang Chihang gave Haoning a pill to help Zhou Yuan.

At the same time, the inhumane Zhou Yuan got into trouble again, causing Liu Shuai to be beaten up by Azhe before disappearing. Liu Shuai learned that Zhang Quan was injured by the explosion of the fairy rope and panicked. Fei told Zhang Quan that nothing was wrong, and everyone and Long Fei went to get the fairy rope together, but they met Lan Ruo and Azhe and Xiaoye who were confused and gave their souls. After saving the two, Hao Ning went back to save Zhou Yuan. , Accidentally discovered that the interconnection became a god, and strayed into the world of gods in Haoning, met the bewitched gods, and was rescued by the power summoned by Monkey King's great nirvana.

The above story was written into a novel by Haoning, and it was also the story of the first season that readers saw.

Afterwards, people encountered more and more strange things. First, colleague Qili lost part of his soul and was possessed by a book spirit and possessed certain abilities. Then, those people with animal souls on the plane before fell into a coma. At the same time, Zhou Yuan was also captured by Zhang Chihang. After enlightenment, they began to learn to use their own abilities, and then everyone discovered two strange things: first, the patient was cured by the magic doctor Chen Busheng found, and second, Long Fei had another identity. Liu Shuai Xinyi's Xiao went to find a genius doctor to communicate with. Long Fei told everyone about the relationship between Qingbei University Yu Fei and him, and everyone thought Yu Fei was killed by Chen Busheng under Long Fei's description.

Then, under Zhou Yuan's false reality, everyone encountered many tragedies of face-slapping men slapping each other in the face, rescued Nezha, and got some strange "magic weapons", including the soul-slaying flying blade that Hao Ning had been using since then. . However, during the subsequent dinner with Ah Zhe, he knew that the temple where Long Fei was located was about to be demolished. In the process of trying to prevent this, Long Fei discovered that the Soul Zhan Fei Blade might have something to do with Yu Fei's death, so he investigated the truth.

After Xiaohong helped Nezha take out the flying insects of spiritual thoughts, and Nezha showed everyone the effect of soul coin raw materials, everyone found that Long Fei was hunted down. . Long Fei's soul was injured, and the crisis of the Dragon Temple was still unresolved. At this time, Ah Zhe also had an accident. When Hao Ning and others rescued Ah Zhe, they discovered the strange existence of Dr. Xue, his skills, and Wang Shiming's abnormal state. And found that the other party can already use some kind of power to make a fake special.

Later, Zhou Yuan's parents also had an accident, and their unlimited imagination caused their souls to collapse. Hao Ning had no choice but to go to the underworld to restore their souls. So sorry.

Reluctantly rescued Ah Zhe, when everyone "raised funds" by betting on stones, they met Zhang Dalong and Mr. Hu, and found a lot of strange behaviors of people with clairvoyance ability. They only love cutting stones and have no interest in making money. It was found that these people seem to have some connection with Zhang Dalong who played games without restriction. When everyone checked some of Yi Pingzhi's actions, his colleague Lele was injured. In a critical situation, Hao Ning named Lele the new God.

Yan discovered the existence of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the underworld and found Hao Ning. Only then did everyone know that all these people had accidents because of such a weird thing as the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Knowing that the so-called Zhanhun Flying Blade is a macro atom, and these are the things that Li Yufei talked with Chen Busheng when he was alive.

After everyone found Chen Busheng, they learned the truth about the cause of Li Yufei's death from Chen Busheng's mouth. At the same time, together with Chen Busheng, they discovered Yi Pingzhi, Mr. Fei's conspiracy, and Li Yufei, who became a celestial master, and Jiang Ziya, who was forced to become a god. Some visions in the past gradually became clear. Everyone knew the identity of Mr. Fei. Hao Ning also knew about Zhang Chihang’s operation of this period of time and space through great mana at a critical moment. With Liu Shuai.

Through communication with Li Yufei, Hao Ning knew the existence of the earth-level macro-awareness Jie Tianshi, and also understood why some aspects have made rapid progress during this period, but still cannot solve the current problems.

At the last stand with Mr. Fei, when all parties were exhausted, Mr. Fei summoned the Pangu Banner and reopened Chaos. Under extreme conditions, Hao Ning met his younger brother who existed in another kind of existence, and finally made Hao Ning Ning interest.

The outline of the whole story is roughly like this. Here are some answers to some of its questions:

1. Why Yan was arranged to be trapped in the mirror: There is a small detail. It is not the first time that Yan met Haoning at the beginning of the novel. Before that, Yan met Haoning once in the world (not when Haoning went to the underworld) , Hao Ning wrote this chapter "The Devil's Night Interview with Mr. Hao Ning", which is mentioned in the dialogue between Yan and Hao Ning in the first chapter of the novel. Friends who know the title of this chapter may know This is an imitation of the chapter "The Devil Visits Qian Zhongshu at Night" by the late academic god Mr. Qian Zhongshu. This chapter is included in Qian Zhongshu's "Writing on the Side of Life". "It is said that life is a big book" "Written by Life", it can be said that "The Devil's Night Interview with Mr. Hao Ning", a chapter imitating Qian Zhongshu, is the origin of "Liao Zhai of the Gods". Another work related to Qian Zhongshu, "Qian Zhongshu Walking Out of the Magic Mirror", because Yan is the character in "The Devil's Night Interview with Mr. Hao Ning", here also "repeats the old tricks" and makes Yan appear in the mirror once as a " Qian Zhongshu", of course, Yan also walked out of the mirror afterward, which represented that he had gotten out of his own embarrassment. (By the way, the chapter "The Devil's Night Interview with Mr. Hao Ning" is real, and it was indeed written by Mu Yu, but the writing is really a bit of that, so I won't make a fool of myself, but the last sentence of that chapter Yes: Let’s talk about Fengshen again! There is still a slight connection with "Liao Zhai of the Gods".)

This is not only the reason in the novel, it is Mu Yu's commemoration of Mr. Qian, and also her feelings for the beginning of this novel. The description of Fei inviting everyone to dinner is a tribute to Fang Hongjian and his girlfriend in "The Besieged City" (of course, the writing is not as good as Qian Lao); The origin of experience in the world is the sentence "Written on the Side of Life": It is said that life is a big book. And one experience is thousands of times

—From the last sentence that Xiaohong helped Zhang Chihang out of the bamboo forest in space and said to Hao Ning: I just found out just now, and we know that Xiaohong herself has experienced tens of thousands of time loops without knowing it . This is also the reason why Xiao Hong was so terrified when she saw Hao Ning for the first time: How could he have been poked by Hao Ning once? I am afraid that Zhang Chihang had already started the time loop at that time, and Xiao Hong had already been cleaned up by Hao Ning a lot time...

2. When exactly did Zhang Chihang start the time loop, did he appear after he started, and why didn't he tell the whole story after he appeared

These are three questions. First, as to when Zhang Chihang started the time loop, it is the same as Zhang Chihang not telling Haoning where in Journey to the West there is a hidden source of incense that Guan Zizai may have the ability to control time. Mu Yu kept this point from making an exact answer. ——Zhang Chihang This point is very interesting, so that in reality, Zhang Chihang’s prototype kept asking Mu Yu “where is it” after seeing this place. That’s right, Zhang Chihang has a prototype, and many people in the book have prototypes , and many characters have more than one prototype, and I will talk about this topic when I have the opportunity.

But the novel has already revealed some conditions: First, I learned from Xiao Hongkou that when Zhang Chihang casts ordinary spells, he doesn't need the Bodhisattva Dharma Body with thousands of hands and eyes, only when he disturbs the mana of time. In the novel, Zhang Chihang used the Thousand-Hands-Thousand-Eye Dharma Body several times in front of Hao Ning and Liu Shuai. These times, it was when Zhang Chihang disturbed time. In addition to saving the little brother and subduing Xiaohong, these two needs In addition to disturbing the time, there was another weird time. It was the first time I met Hao Ning and the others there, but it was when they broke through the air to find the plane where the young master of the Wang family was.

Secondly, when Zhang Chihang talked with Hao Ning, he said "You are still discussing logic with a Bodhisattva", this sentence

Hao Ning was corrected by Liu Shuai, but Hao Ning did not know it—and therefore, Hao Ning did not mention this matter in his novel.

Secondly, after Haoning left Zhang Chihang, Zhang Chihang had a conversation with someone in the dark. From the back of the novel, we can know that the person who talked to him should be Haoning's younger brother, Haoran. However, from our previous analysis, it is possible that Haoran cannot see the existence of Zhang Chihang (because he cannot see the existence of consciousness at the level of the earth), but since Haoran's ultra-macroscopic consciousness is beyond the four dimensions of time and space, so for the Some particularities of time have a special sense, and Zhang Chihang has cycled time so many times, so he naturally has a chance to be discovered by Haoran.

There are clues elsewhere, too.

But for novels, Mu Yu hopes to leave some leeway for Guan Zizai and some leeway for Zhang Chihang.

Regarding the remaining two questions, Zhang Chihang probably appeared in the world while cycling time, so his last appearance in front of Hao Ning: to see a doctor. It's a half-truth.

The real thing is that he probably doesn't have so much mana at this time (Xiao Hong's description is that Zhang Chihang sealed his mana, ate 100 ice creams, and then caught a cold), the reason why he sealed up his mana , most likely to ensure that the last loop of time proceeds normally. —Of course, Bodhisattvas act in a profound and unpredictable way. How can we mortals completely guess it? Don’t you think so

The fake part is that he obviously wants to do two things at this time: first, enlighten Zhou Yuan. Second, mark the relevant whereabouts of Mr. Fei (Qi Li has been grafted with a soul).

3. Why is Mr. Fei so hard to eliminate? What exactly is his space-time parasite

Judging from Li Yufei's description, Mr. Fei gained the ability to parasitize in time and space with the help of Divine Doctor Xue. Referring to Divine Doctor Xue's parasitic formula, we can see that if it wasn't for Hao Ning's parasitic formula, which can use Beiming's magical power to resolve the parasitic formula, Xiao Hong would not be able to deal with the parasitic formula—of course, Xiao Hong was finally saved by six pure bamboo leaves. Because the six pure bamboo leaves themselves have the function of making things manifest their original shape, and the six pure bamboo leaves work because they absorb a part of the special incense. (There are some detailed descriptions in that part, friends who are interested can check it out by themselves, see Chapter 185 "I Don't Know Me" for details).

Therefore, Miracle Doctor Xue's Parasitic Art is almost incomprehensible without the six pure bamboo leaves. In other words, the six pure bamboo leaves are the nemesis of Miracle Xue. Mr. Fei’s relevant markings—From the point of view of the novel, the biggest difference between Zhang Chihang’s conception and Haoning’s is that his thoughts are more careful (of course, Haoning has also become more meticulous later), so his approach is, he would rather mark more, Also try not to do less marked things. (This can also be used as one of the reasons why Zhang Chihang made up a bunch of financial reasons to tell Hao Ning and others why he didn’t satisfy everyone’s wishes: Bodhisattvas have great use for holding these incense sticks, I don’t have time to care about your lottery tickets If you don’t pay attention to money, the stock will not go up.)

So I just talked about the elimination method of Master Xue's Parasitic Art, but let's not forget that Mr. Fei has a big killer: the Pangu Banner that is not controlled by time! In other words, Mr. Fei has the ability to appear in different time and space in some form!

As for how big this ability is? Yufei's description of Mr. Fei is clearer: kill him in one time and space, and he may be resurrected in another time and space. This is why Zhang Chihang needs to cycle so many times to time mark him.

Then another question, what exactly is Mr. Fei's space-time parasitic formula, and why only he has it and no one else

The first answer is: Enen, isn’t this nonsense, if everyone else has it, how can I write this novel

Well, Mu Yu crawled out from a pile of cabbage leaves and rotten eggs, after learning from the pain, she plans to answer this question seriously...

The second answer is: related to Fei Changfang's attributes. On the bright side, Fei Changfang is Hu Gong's apprentice who can't become a god, but hopes to become a god, but in reality, in the end, Fei Changfang has become an extreme existence who wants to return to China's past glory by any means. In other words, during this process, Fei Changfang actually represented the beliefs of a certain type of people: Yi Ping refers to the beliefs of this type of people.

In the previous chapters, we said that when a civilization is taken as a whole, in most cases, it will choose a stable way to live, but for any kind of civilization, after obtaining all the civilizations that can be found, In the case of the absolute strong, under normal circumstances, it is almost all about stability (since the strongest in all civilizations, it is better to develop so slowly instead of taking risks to evolve). The best choice for stability is to constantly establish the past as the absolute truth, even to the point of being a god), because the past is immutable, so when everyone regards what has happened in the past, some people’s words are the only At standard time, the relative state of this civilization is the most stable.

Obviously, Fei Changfang has these two elements: first, he can lead the Chinese people to become gods. Second, what will he do after becoming a god? With the limitations of his thinking, becoming a god is already the ultimate evolution (after all, he is not the god of incense and fire that people believe in), then the entire Chinese nation can go back to the past—in fact, it is impossible to go back to the past. The meaning of going back to the past here must be Embrace the past and despise the present, and set the example of the past as the example of today. ——But such a result is likely to be another "backward" cycle of Huaxia civilization into a closed country, which will destroy Huaxia's efforts for the past few hundred years.

So from this point of view, the essence of Fei Changfang’s so-called time-space parasitism is: in any time and space, as long as the Huaxia Ming has the opportunity to surpass the height of other civilizations, the Huaxia Ming will be at a high degree of self-identity no matter from the material or spiritual level. From time to time, under the influence of certain thoughts or beliefs, someone may return to the possibility of China's glory in the past, and this possibility is Fei Changfang's parasitism in time and space.

why? Because of a curse-like existence: Fei Changfang used to be the existence closest to God, and Huaxia Ming also thought he was the existence closest to the sky (otherwise, how could it be called the Celestial Dynasty?) All Fei Changfang’s efforts were for Becoming a god again, the efforts of some people in Huaxiaming are also because we want to restore the same status (glory) as the closest to the sky in the past. Under this belief, under the high probability of events, we can naturally use the power of the nation to return to that place. Brilliant, the question is, what happens after returning to the brilliant? Wouldn't it be like Fei Changfang, with the ability to return to the glory similar to the past Huaxia, in other respects, also hope to return to the past Huaxia

Because one goal (past glory), after achieving one goal (past glory), it is possible to "incidentally" mix other goals (all the past) - of course, when we have not reached that height today, we can clearly know that it is not Everything should go back to the past, but what if one day it is achieved? Will Fei Changfang's parasitic belief that everything goes back to the past affect many people

This kind of time-space parasite can be said to be the most difficult to get rid of, because to get rid of it, it is easy to be linked to the moral high ground of denying China's past, not respecting ancestors, and not loving tradition. Belief, difference and connection with other.

For this difference and connection, we may refer to what Hu Gong, Hua Tuo, Sun Simiao and others said:

What Hu Gong said is that there is no traditional medicine at all.

What Hua Tuo said was that in his own time, as a doctor who used a knife and ax to save people, he didn't think about what medicine was or what other medicine was. As long as he could save people, he was willing to learn.

What Sun Simiao said was that when he was looking for the world's best prescriptions, he did not set limits on which prescriptions are medicine (so use them) and which ones are not medicine (so don't use them).

From their own point of view, the three people uttered the eight words of returning to the basics: curing the disease to save the patient, and the doctor's benevolence.

What these three people said, we may think about it from another angle: the so-called tradition is continuously accumulated in all time and space. It will be able to sail smoothly without replacing a piece (because some may have rotted), so the so-called tradition is essentially the concept of the ship of Theseus: it will need to replace wood, decks, etc. because of continuous sailing , but because the traditional ship of Theseus has always maintained the attitude of "beneficial to all things" and "indisputable" throughout the whole process, on the contrary, it will become a tradition in people's hearts at any time.

Of course, with the concept of surface, Mu Yu can't fully explain where this ship can be changed and where it can't be changed by himself. What Mu Yu can express is that through our assumption: different macro-micro pairs are different in the same time and space. The pair of civilizations, and the pair of unified civilizations in different time and space, may maintain

A Huaxia Ming, a ship of Theseus that is constantly new and traditional, may be a good choice.

At least it would be better for Mr. Fei to go back to the past without thinking about it and satisfy some of his desires.

Note: What Mu Yu expresses here is not to deny the glory of China's past, on the contrary, Mu Yu agrees with the glory of China's past. What Mu Yu wants to say is that the present of China comes from both the past and the future, so that gathered in the present.

Well, I’m talking about the outside of the book. Regarding the outside of the book, it’s just my personal opinion at this stage, not the intention expressed by the book. Please let everyone know.

So, let's go back to the book and continue talking about other questions in the book:

4. Why doesn't Guan Zizai choose a definite future to save sentient beings like Xiao Hong Zhou Yuan's parents did

This is related to the characteristics of Pangu Banner: Pangu Banner is not controlled by time.

Why Pangu Banner is not controlled by time? From Haoran's last dialogue with Haoning, we can learn one or two things. The main function of Pangu Banner is to make all macroscopic matter return to a quantum state. In other words, the Pangu Banner will make the quantum state of matter not only come from the microscopic atomic world, but will make a qualitative change in the macroscopic world. The quantum state of this macroscopic world will also affect time. In other words, on the time scale, the macroscopic quantum state will also be uncertain. This is the fundamental reason why Hao Ning cannot use the method of stopping time to stop the Pangu Banner after the appearance of the Pangu Banner.

(Phew, another physics class was taught. I don’t know if there are any students who died in battle. Everyone wake up, it’s almost over).

So Zhang Chihang can't directly choose a definite future like Xiaohong Zhouyuan's parents, it's right to go, because no matter what future Zhang Chihang chooses, as long as he doesn't find a way to crack the "Pangu Banner", the future of mankind will be in the Pangu Banner. At this point in time, it is completely uncertain.

In other words, Zhang Chihang may know a key point. There is only a glimmer of life for Haoning to achieve a certain level of enlightenment, and then meet Haoran, as an observer, to realize the ability of Taiji Diagram to counter the "Pangu Banner". —In this sense, it is indeed a bit risky.

5. Why did you give Li Yufei such a complicated setting

Li Yufei's story is probably the most similar to the "Rashomon" story in this book. And Yufei's story, if counted as Yufei's story in a broad sense (including Long Fei's), almost entangled from the beginning to the end.

From the time when Longfei rescued everyone in the heavy rain, there was the dominant Longfei and the hidden Yufei (the sky in Pixiu's mouth leaked), and it was not until Teacher Ren mistook Longfei for Yufei that Yufei's story gradually began. revealed.

The setting of Yufei in this book is complicated mainly in the following points: first, the complexity of the characters' emotions; second, the complexity of the truth about the life and death of the characters; third, the complexity of the final state of the characters and what happened.

Leaving aside certain elements of the process of constructing the novel, we only talk about the characters in the book.

Every character in this book, try to keep his decision, has a certain root, or the characteristic of cause and effect.

Therefore, if Jie Tianshi is a person in the end, he can choose and choose, Yufei's setting is the most suitable.

First of all, Yu Fei has no real parents, and his emotional sustenance is only two people: Long Fei and Chen Busheng. These two emotional sustenances, one represents where he came from, the other represents where he is going, and the ultimate celestial master represents who he is.

Second, same-sex affection plays a role in it. It must be stated that Liaozhai of the Gods is not a slash novel or a novel that focuses on homosexuality. But since they are gods, and they have tacitly agreed that Guan Zizai can cross people regardless of gender, it would be more appropriate and more likely for the existence of Jie Tianshi to use same-sex feelings that are more detached from traditional genders.

Based on two points, as a person without parental support, Yufei will pay more attention to his own future, so for a passionate young man in his student days, he is more likely to give desperately to his loved ones, even crazy To use his own soul to do experiments to save his lover. People with such crazy and high IQs have more opportunities to connect with the macroscopic consciousness of the earth. After all, for same-sex lovers of a certain era, meeting someone who is in love with them in a certain social environment will sublimate this feeling to a higher level. mentioned.

Then, let's talk about why we have to make such a complicated setting for Yufei's story.

In fact, this is not a complicated setting for Yufei's story, but a demonstration of the complexity of the macroscopic consciousness that everyone has discovered on the earth level.

Theoretically speaking, without the existence of Chen Busheng, everyone would not be able to discover the macroscopic consciousness of the earth, and Yufei would only become an existence detached from all human beings. What he is more likely to do is to combine the macroscopic consciousness of the earth with the consciousness of other planets. The macro-consciousness tries to connect, because this is his "kind". Because as an existence that can kill Yan and Jiang Ziya in the blink of an eye, he doesn't bother to play with humans anymore. In other words, it is extremely difficult to discover the existence of the Celestial Master.

Therefore, it is precisely because of the complex relationship between Chen Busheng and Li Yufei that the difficulty (although it is also difficult) for everyone to discover the macroscopic consciousness of the earth is reduced.

Here we should pay attention to that the Li Yufei who talks to Hao Ning and feeds Chen Busheng in reality is not the real Li Yufei, but just a "projection" of Li Yufei. This is also very clear from the dialogue between Li Yufei and Mr. Fei: Mr. Fei knew very clearly that he could not kill Li Yufei, because he knew that Li Yufei in front of him was just a microscopic projection. (Speaking of projection, Mr. Fei's first appearance also used the method of holographic projection, which seems to be a master in the academic world, but it is neither fish nor fowl).

But Mr. Fei knew Li Yufei's weakness: Chen Busheng. And he also has some understanding of Li Yufei's creator behavior (creating everything from the atomic and molecular level). Although everything destroyed by Jie Tianshi can be recreated, the created everything is no longer the previous one, but just the previous one. "Copy", so Li Yufei can destroy and rebuild Jiang Ziya many times, he can destroy Yan, and rebuild Yan, but he dare not let Mr. Fei kill Chen Busheng, and rebuild Chen Busheng himself - because he knows that such a Chen Busheng, He is no longer the original Chen Busheng (even Chen Busheng himself is not aware of this problem).

This is actually the most paradoxical part of Li Yufei: He originally hoped to transmit his own soul and Chen Busheng's soul to the Internet, and create a "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss" in which no one would discriminate, but by accident, he became the macroscopic consciousness of the earth and became After this, he was not sure whether Chen Busheng could understand and accept him, so he had Yi Pingzhi to test Chen Busheng. Of course, under Yi Pingzhi's operation, Li Yufei would rather follow Chen Busheng's wish (to live with Li Yufei in Chen Busheng's body) Go down), give Chen Busheng a "fake" Li Yufei, accompany Chen Busheng to spend his life, and don't want Chen Busheng to know the truth about Li Yufei.

What's interesting is that Chen Busheng, who was dying of illness, also had the same idea, so he asked Zhou Yuan to create a fake self to live with Li Yufei.

Because they love each other, they keep creating an illusion for each other until Chen Busheng realizes that both are illusions and collapses.

Of course, the collapse of the illusion is extreme, but it is not uncommon for each other to create an illusion of a certain meaning for each other because they love each other. It's just that the degrees are different.

Li Yufei’s setting is complicated because the existence of this character is very complicated. The process of discovering this character cannot be smooth sailing. If Hao Ning is set to walk on the street, someone jumps out and tells Hao Ning: I am the macroscopic consciousness of the earth. , Let alone Hao Ning, I am afraid that you, as a reader, will not believe it, right

The process of discovering the truth about Yufei is actually a process of constantly negating the inherent facts of the past, and constantly negating the previous negation, which is also a process of negation of negation.

The process of negation of negation itself is a method or a path for people to correctly understand the tortuousness and advancement of the development of things.

In other words, the truth is there, it will not become wrong because we deny the past, and it will not change because we deny us again, it has not changed, and we are constantly denying our past process, it is not regressing, But progress.

So, why do we have to worry about negative

What we worry about is not negating this process, but that after negating, we are no longer ourselves.

Self-doubt like a vat brain: I am still not myself.

Afterwards, let’s talk about Brain in Vat and other settings of the book
