Lord of the Silver Crow

However, it is not accurate enough to describe it in derogatory terms such as "conspiracy theory".

After all, "myth" itself is a mixture of many things, science and ignorance, art and popular game, philosophy and fallacy, history and rumors.

The myth itself can reflect some things, but the various mixtures of its constituent elements also determine its duality, which is difficult to prove and falsify.

Speaking of which, this is quite similar to "psychology".

Is psychology a science?

It depends on what defines "science".

Psychology is complicated.

Inside, there are brain sciences that intersect biology and medicine, that is, research on cranial nerves. At least, in the "modern" that Yago is familiar with, and when virtual reality games are booming, neuroscience can already do To interact electronic information signals with the brain.

Although Yago is also very strange about this, after all, the rise of virtual games is quite sudden. Before, the brain can only output signals to the extent that it suddenly developed the science of electronic digital information conversion and brain interaction.

But the ability to interact with brain information and electronic digital information clearly shows that the research on brain neuroscience has been very successful, and information conversion can already be carried out.

Electronic digital information signals and brain electrical signals are not the same, just like two languages...

No, this description is actually not accurate.

After all, language itself is produced for the purpose of "exchanging information", and it originates from the description of the environment and biological state, and it has a common "origin" of external natural things.

Both were born as descriptive symbols, and they have more or less in common with each other and can be translated.

However, the electronic information signal is not the same as the human brain signal, even the origin is different.

The human brain signals are the body, the cells, and the way of information transmission between smaller biological units. There is a huge gap.

"Translation" itself is the most difficult.

As a cross-discipline of biology, medicine and psychology, neuroscience cannot be said to be psychology, but it does have an impact on psychology, and to some extent it can be regarded as a part of psychology.

And this part, which corresponds to the "myth", is the part of the scientific description and structure of objective things in the myth.

However, even though psychology has parts that can be quantified, proved, and falsified, such as neuroscience, there are also many parts that cannot be quantified and cannot be directly proved and falsified.

When recognizing some psychological phenomena, neuroscience can quantify, and only accurately explain--

"The corresponding area will have **** response in the case of xx".

But, more specifically, what is the connection between these body responses and the corresponding mental states?

What about the process of change between different mental states?

The virtual reality games he knows can only deliver and input visual information to people, and give people corresponding stimulus responses to corresponding body parts.

When being attacked, it can make you feel pain in the corresponding part, or other stimulation that is not suitable for children.

However, virtual reality games cannot directly change the mental state of others or even change memory.

And this is not difficult in itself.

Just give the corresponding stimulation to the corresponding brain reaction area, so that the corresponding area produces the secretion of different emotions.

Different from this world, Yago understands that the world he knows, the emotions themselves, are also physiological, because the body and the chemical substances in a certain area of ​​the brain are affected by the reaction, which generates emotions and affects the person himself.

However, no one knows the specific law of change.

It's like a calculation program.

You know that you can get a result by entering a number into this program, but you don't know how much change the number has undergone in the program.

The program itself is a black box.

Human emotions can be generated by stimulating the corresponding brain regions, but how are these emotions generated?

In addition, people's emotional cognition will undergo very multiple transformations and cross-effects.

The specific process of these transformations cannot be directly observed, determined and quantified.

Therefore, you can only use your own preset template, and then see whether the result corresponds to or not, if it corresponds, it is "accurate".

The answers to 1+1=2 and 1x1+1=2 are the same, but the process is different.

Unfortunately, if you really just don't know the process, it's okay.

After all, as long as the result is correct, even if the exhaustive method is used, the result may be exhaustive.

However, the most terrible thing is that the "answer" obtained cannot be directly interpreted.

Even the answer itself will change.

People will be affected by the outside world, especially psychologically. The most typical placebo nocebo effect is enough to explain.

People presuppose an answer to themselves because of their own cognitive limitations or a certain belief. When describing their own psychology, this presupposition will lead to deviations in the description he gave.

A word that Yago knows well--

"Making a lie to deceive people, and in the end even believed my own lie."

The reason may be subjective verification, or the generalization of the Barnum effect, or the anchoring effect, or self-defense...

How can you tell when this happens?

The black box of psychology, at least, in the age known by Yago, is still an unsolvable problem.

The mind is changeable, whether it is the process or the result, it is changeable.

In this situation, how to get the answer?

The myth is the same.

The development of the myth itself is also regulated by self-feedback.

Positive feedback or negative feedback, the description of myths constructs the three views of believers. It is fixed for reasons such as self-defense, preconceivedness, subjective verification and so on. Some believers will behave to correct the myth whether for themselves or for the myth. The myth "patch".

The myth itself has been repaired layer after layer of patches, something completely different from the beginning.

It can be said that the myth has been "not the original" since the beginning of its development.

It can also be said that every stage of the myth is "correct".

This is where Yago is most entangled. The "fiction" of the myth itself makes it tend to be "art".

And the nature of this fiction, he is not sure, and he can refer to reality to determine the standard.

In this case, every version can be considered true.

The "mainstream" is true, but the "non-mainstream" version is also true.

In this situation, perhaps the only means can only be "history."

Use time to locate.
