In the context of reality, the wave of AI intelligence and virtual technology is rapidly advancing, bringing forth profound ongoing discussions on various aspects of human existence. We delve into questions surrounding individual worth, self-awareness, emotional interaction, cultural heritage, and future challenges. These ongoing discussions act as a continuous exploration, serving as a defense against potential pitfalls. They serve as a gauge for intelligent technology and a contemplation of consciousness of life. Furthermore, they prompt us to reflect on collective crises and offer a means to measure our individual values.
The "real brain" is an engine that ignites the imagination, emitting the lengths, depths, and breadths of thoughts. It measures past civilizations and future fantasies, weighs the essence of life and technological creations, and gauges the dimensions of existence and the needs of the spirit.
The "digital brain" opens up an "unrestricted state" by aggregating all past human civilizations. It extends infinitely within the digital universe, breaking free from the limitations of biological categories such as ecological needs, spatial requirements, and material functionality. It presents a design aesthetic of "digital life forms."
In the ever-evolving landscape of human intelligence civilization, individuals find themselves at the crossroads of a new era. Each person becomes a vital element, akin to a delicate nerve within the vast "cosmic brain." Today's young students, positioned on the precipice of accumulated human experiences, surpass the boundaries set by their predecessors. They embark on a journey that goes beyond the origins, drawing upon the past as a foundation for growth. Guided by a metaphorical "ruler," they reflect upon and explore their surroundings. With a "measure" as their compass, they prioritize the redesigning of directions. Within the realm of both reality and virtuality, they seek to illuminate the true essence of human value.
