In "Reunion 1", Agent Coulson was pierced by Luo Shen with a dagger from the back to the heart, and then the director came to appease him, and finally confirmed his death.

So the question is, there are many ways to resurrect, how did he resurrect? Magic, cell rebirth, robots?

The two of them looked very serious. The question is, shouldn't it be a good thing to resurrect the former colleagues and comrades in arms? So there must be some hidden secrets in there.

In the conversation, the two mentioned "Tahiti". Baidu, this Tahiti is really a beautiful fairyland on earth, but the problem is, this is a science fiction TV series, it is still a good idea to let a seventh-level agent go on vacation. Showing a lingering look is obviously not in line with the plot. Baidu again, added a keyword "SHIELD", and the answer was revealed.

Before the war in New York (Reunion 1), the director gave Coulson a task - in charge of "Project Tahiti". This plan is to study outer space creatures and extract life substances from them to further develop new drugs. This drug can heal the wounds of the Avengers (including ordinary humans) and even bring them back to life.

However, this drug that can bring people back to life has two defects: first, it can be used directly to bring people back to life, the treatment process will cause severe pain, and it may eventually lead to mental illness; second, if used in conjunction with memory transplantation, it will be effective. Eliminate the above problems, but this method is unethical.

Why is it against ethics?

We simply divide "people" into material structures and spiritual structures. The empty body, that is, the body without memory (consciousness), is equivalent to the material structure, and the memory is equivalent to the spiritual structure, then, human = empty body + memory.

There are two differences between people, one is the body, and the other is consciousness (or memory). There are no two identical leaves in the world, so even identical twins must have tiny differences in their bodies. We also assume that small differences are not considered.

The only basis for distinguishing identical twins, then, is their memory: because the body is similar, but the memory is different.

Therefore, the consequences of bringing back the drug + memory transplant surgery are:

Colson's original body + Colson's original memory = original Colson (stabbed to death by a dagger)

Using drugs to grow Coulson's cells into an empty body, the body is exactly the same

Use memory transplantation to make a copy of the original Coulson's memory, this copy can be copied, pasted, edited and modified

Empty body + memory copy = Coulson in the play? ?

But we can see from the conversation that there must be something wrong with the trip to Tahiti. It was originally the Tahiti plan that Colson was in charge of, but he thought he was going on vacation, so the truth is that Colson's original plan The memory has been modified, and the memory copy is not simply copy-pasted, but modified

Original memory + copy + modify + paste = memory copy No. 1

Empty body + memory copy No. 1 = Coulson No. 1

The Coulson we see in the play is Coulson No. 1

Let's go on:

Empty Shell Body + Memory Copy Modification No. 2 = Coulson No. 2

Empty Shell Body + Memory Copy Modification No. 3 = Coulson No. 3

………… Open your mind a bit …………

…………The following body refers to Coulson’s body……

Empty body + Iron Man's memory copy = Iron Man?

Empty body + Captain America's memory copy = Captain America? ?

Just thinking about it makes my back feel cold: Who am I? Who am I?

Since the body can be regenerated and the memory can be transplanted and modified by copy-paste-cut, can people be mass-produced like a toy on an assembly line: cultivate a body, implant a memory, and it is a person; cultivate the same body again, Modify the original memory and implant it again, and it will be a person again. The two men looked identical, but had slightly different memories.

However, this is no longer a man in the traditional sense. Ethics aside, it feels more like a "replicant with a physical body" -- a clone. Maybe that's why (I've only watched one episode) to let Coulson know

……………………split line……………………

Regarding the issue of human relations, "Black Mirror" is even more exaggerated.

"Black Mirror: Christmas Special" introduces a very buggy technology: Consciousness copy extraction technology

Black Mirror: A White Christmas
Eggs that store copies of consciousness
Technician talks to consciousness copy

The content of the picture is that a lady's consciousness is copied and pasted, the consciousness copy is stored in an egg, and the technician is talking to the consciousness copy, the purpose is to teach "her" to become a qualified "artificial intelligence", just like Iron Man's "Jarvis". However, this is real "artificial" intelligence.

If one day you find that you are not yourself, but a clone of your original self, or another possibility, it is just a "thing" stored in a body called "human" with your original self consciousness (memory), we Can you accept yourself?

    Fortunately, I didn't clean up Ward, I hate him to death... Kousen has grown as a chrysanthemum! I don't know if the Women's Federation 2 will be able to see...

    The screenwriter really wants to draw the wind as much as he wants~

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. quotes

  • Phil Coulson: [Regarding "Tahiti"] It's a magical place.

  • Maria Hill: What does S.H.I.E.L.D. stand for, Agent Ward?

    Grant Ward: Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.

    Maria Hill: And what does that mean to you?

    Grant Ward: It means someone really wanted our initials to spell out "S.H.I.E.L.D." It means we're the line between the world and the much weirder world. We protect people from news they aren't ready to hear. And when we can't do that, we keep them safe.
