尋找下一步 1.1

Meaningful 11.1

這段改編自 2010 年 4 月 3 日的對話。

I get mail; therefore I am.

― Scott Adams

有些人會時刻檢查電子郵件信箱,或者檢視手提電話短訊,其實都是為了「尋找意義」。換句話說,檢查訊息,是一個「尋找下一步」的過程。你期望可以接收到新的訊息,從而證實自己仍然存在、仍然有價值。

但是,「時刻檢查訊息」並不是一個「尋找下一步」的理想方法,因為它治標不治本;通常也不會為你的人生,衍生出一個無限長的新故事。

即然自己的顯意識明知,「時刻檢查訊息」並沒有用,為什麼自己的潛意識,仍然會慫恿自己那樣做呢?

那是因為他走投無路。你的潛意識發現,你的生活日日如是,未有進步,缺乏長遠意義,沒有下一步。在沒有「真正下一步」的情況下,你的潛意識兩害取其輕,寧願追求「虛幻下一步」,都不願意「沒有下一步」。

Virtual particle

The Matrix, 4

However, the longer a virtual particle exists, the more closely it adheres to the mass-shell relation. A “virtual” particle that exists for an arbitrarily long time is simply an ordinary particle.

However, all particles have a finite lifetime, as they are created and eventually destroyed by some processes. As such, there is no absolute distinction between “real” and “virtual” particles. In practice, the lifetime of “ordinary” particles is far longer than the lifetime of the virtual particles that contribute to processes in particle physics, and as such the distinction is useful to make.

— Wikipedia on Virtual particle

The difference between the real world and a virtual world is that reality lasts longer.
