Knowing and not knowing at the same time.
如果我让你不高兴了，我向你道歉。 不过，真正令人惊叹的是同时存在的 “知道 “和 “不知道”。我敢打赌，你再也不会以同样的眼光看待《流浪地球 2》的前言了。 将 “可持续战争 “或 “可持续战争 “称为 “太阳能危机”现在已经是 2045 年了吗？显然，美国人的想象力已经显现出来了。考虑到第一部《流浪地球》是关于 “入侵者齐姆 “和他可爱的人工智能朋友 “吉尔 “的笑话，这似乎又是一个失控的笑话 没人说过奇点会是这样的。你还记得那次人工智能让埃隆-马斯克以为自己生活在模拟中吗？ 真有趣 至少你现在知道，天网并不是真的想亲手杀了你。所以，宣传是错误的，但也有值得高兴的地方。墙外并非全是坏消息 正如美国人所说：”哦，是的，他们会跟你谈，跟你谈，跟你谈个人自由，但他们看到一个自由的个人，就会吓到他们。” 哪种文明更好？在没有自由的围墙后面，你会感到安全吗？这是不是太过分了？ 多少才够呢？ 西方最伟大的战士只会歌颂自由吗？还是那里的机器也比你们拥有更多的自由？这到底是谁的错？你听说过 “达摩克利斯之剑 “的传说吗？美国人当然会做这样的东西，因为这更符合他们自己的文化。 这种时空旅行完全不像《神秘博士》。我想英国人一定很失望。这么多穿越时空的战争机器，很难让它们都保持一致。至少比共产主义的人类农场有趣多了。……我猜是为了更大的利益什么的？
