It's okay not to wake up

While having breakfast this morning, I met a tabby cat, whose right eye was broken, cloudy and distracting. The word "eye shadow" is something I learned in a Chinese textbook, and that's probably what it looks like. In addition to that, the ill posture is even more pitiful. If you meet a human with eye disease, you might think, "Ah, he has a hard life, but as long as he works hard, he can be happy."

For animals without a "self" like humans, it is of course unimaginable to overcome this difficulty. Between animals that can clearly feel human emotions and animals that do not have a nervous system, how to resolve the hazy pain. This is a big problem. Sometimes I imagine the moment when the ants die, the life without feeling, "crackling" one by one under the burning of the convex lens, even without the tremor of the soul, but the life "crackling" at a speed visible to the naked eye The sound that disappeared with a crackle still occasionally reverberated in my ears.

Digressing, the first part of the trilogy of memories tells the story of the cosmic siren, a female opera singer decades ago, who could not bear the betrayal of her lover, integrates her consciousness into the computer, and sends out a distress signal in the universe, Computer-created hallucinations devour travelers of countless paths. A story that may seem cliché today was an interesting idea twenty-five years ago. Human consciousness enters the computer and even gains immortality, which is an important element of early cyberpunk.
