A caterpillar is in front of me、I am crossing a concrete road about 2.5 meters wide.。Quite a rush? is。Of course that is too、A jet-black caterpillar is crossing the white road surface, almost defenseless.。Assuming that the body length of an insect is approximately 5 cm, it is converted to a human length.、Since it is 50 times your height, it becomes 1.7m x 50 = 85m.。For example, crossing the road in full view of natural enemies、Is it like swimming 85 meters across a sea full of great white sharks?。
There was a hairly catarpillar on the road. He just crossed the road about 2.5meters wide rapidly. Of course that was too risky way for him of its natural enemy like a bird. It was so distinguishded a black body on white concrete. If his height convert into a human, 2.5 meters will be 85 meters long. This crossing road was like swim across the sea acting great white shark for 85 meters, I wander.
There are grasses and trees on the side where the caterpillar originally lived.、Looks like a similar environment。cross the road at risk、what kind of need is there?。There can be no such thing as a noble will.。But it's true that something made him (or her?) do what he did.。what makes it so、If you just say it's instinct, it's useless.。
On the side he had been was similar environment to the other, there’s a lot of trees and weed both. Why he wanted across the road ? What was necessity for him there? It is impossible that they have a free will. Although something mede him to do that is fact. What is it?
According to recent brain science、There is also such a thing as the will of us humans.、It's actually very uncertain、0.5 seconds before you are conscious of doing ○○, your brain has already made a decision.、It seems that the "will" is nothing more than an illusion of confirmation (one popular theory)。If you think about it that way, humans don't have anything as noble as will.、I guess it's no different than a caterpillar crossing the road.。
According to latest brain science, our human’s free will is doubtful actually. Our brain already decide everything before to be concious ourself less than 0.5 second. Our poor conciousness have an illusion that we identify ratification with our free will. So that means a catarpillar as same as human from the viewpoint of have not a will either.
The important thing here is "experience"。based on experience、a certain "feeling"。That is for living things、In other words, it seems to have an important meaning for us as well.。
An experience is important at end. The sense of sort that based on experiences, it looks important for every creature include of us.
