Chapter 57: Unrecognizable Relatives

"Wrong? Wrong?"

"Impossible. Body Theory says so; it's right, not wrong."

"Jiang Zhe, you were quite humble before, but why aren't you now? You're going to offend 40% of us this way."

"..."

The audience supporting Body Theory simply couldn't believe Jiang Zhe's assessment.

In daily life, if one pays attention, looks, and thinks, they will find that most people have always spoken of Body Theory.

For example, a person has a unique appearance, then gets into a car accident and breaks their leg.

They can rely on that appearance and the broken leg to distinguish that the person was once their friend.

If Body Theory is wrong...

Can't people rely on these external conditions to distinguish a person?

So, this is one of the reasons why 40% of the audience cannot accept Jiang Zhe's view.

In contrast, the Experts at the Beijing Science Lecture Hall were relatively calm.

They didn't offer an evaluation immediately.

Especially the Philosophers on-site, who were pondering Jiang Zhe's meaning.

"One can only say that Body Theory has significant flaws; it doesn't mean it's wrong. After all, people have been using this theory all along."

"Indeed!"

However, there were also serious Philosophers who did not agree with the views of the Experts around them.

That young Philosopher asked a simple question: "Now, if two identical people were standing before you, could you distinguish which one is him?"

"This..."

A single question left these seniors speechless.

They could provide an answer immediately, but that wouldn't prove Body Theory is wrong!

Simply put, the crowd stopped talking and continued to see how Jiang Zhe would explain.

Inside the big screen.

Jiang Zhe slowed his pace and explained slowly.

"Next, let's think about this Body Theory."

"If the audience members in front of the screen cut your fingernails once, you have changed your physical composition. You have cut off some 'atoms' that originally belonged to your fingernails."

"Now, are you still you?"

"The answer to this question is obvious. Without thinking, you are still your current self."

"Assume further—"

"If your kidneys are diseased and you need a kidney transplant."

"So you exchange your kidney with mine and then install my kidney into yourselves. Are you still yourselves?"

At this point, Jiang Zhe smiled slightly. "As a side note, just use me for the examples; I will bear all the consequences."

This casual remark instantly gained the favor of the new viewers in the livestream.

"You must realize that this time you have modified your body, which is much more significant than simply cutting your nails!"

"Almost without exception, the answer is still obvious. After you have replaced your kidney with mine, you are still yourselves."

"But assume again!"

"Once you have a major illness and need to replace your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, blood, and skin."

"When you finish this entire set of surgeries, you recover successfully and return to a normal life. Meanwhile, I have given everything to you, so I... am dead."

Explaining to this point, Jiang Zhe's words added a touch of simple joy to the serious atmosphere.

"Hahaha, full of educational flavor, thumbs up!"

"Using himself as an example, what a ruthless guy!"

"Say no more, I love you three thousand times every day!"

"..."

The people in the Leadership Conference Room also smiled in unison.

"Back to the topic."

"After you have replaced my organs, will your family think you are dead because most of your physical body is no longer your original organs?"

"No, not at all!"

"Even if you've lost so many body organs, you are still yourselves."

"So the question arises: why does your family still think you are yourselves after you have replaced my organs?"

"Could it be that your family thinks it's your genes that determine who you are?"

This sentence made many people fall into deep thought.

Even if all of one's internal organs were replaced, and even if memory loss occurred due to an accident, family members would not mistake them for someone else.

Why was that?

This question immediately surfaced in the minds of all the viewers.

Inside the screen, Jiang Zhe's voice came through.

"Perhaps everyone will have questions about how family members judge that we are still ourselves."

"Actually, it's quite simple. Even if all your damaged organs are transplanted with someone else's, these internal actions don't actually count. They cannot make your family believe you have become someone else."

"As long as your remaining cells still contain your genes, then you are still yourselves."

"This is also why your family considers you to still be their relative."

As Jiang Zhe changed the subject, he posed another thought-provoking question.

"But speaking of which, I still have a question now."

"As everyone knows, twins' genes are actually the same, but they are not the same person."

"You are you, but your twin brother or sister is not you."

"Would your parents mistake your older sister for your younger sister? Especially with two twins who look identical but have completely different clothing styles."

Hearing this, the audience realized—

If there were a pair of identical-looking twins in a family, they would be judged through speech habits, lifestyle habits, expressions, and many other external conditions.

The comments from twins in the livestream instantly flooded the screen.

"Exactly. Even if my sister and I swap outfits and wear the same clothes and pants, my parents won't think I'm my sister."

"The person above, why is that?"

"Because a person's gaze is different. I once went out to play wearing my sister's clothes and was seen through by my mom instantly. I asked her why, and she said—'Even if you look the same and dress the same, the "aura," "gaze," and "actions" you two give me are completely different.' My mom relies on this to distinguish me."

"Hiss... Those who aren't twins can't understand your parents."

"I'm the same as him. I'm a twin brother, and my parents distinguish us the same way. My brother and I have the same voice, same appearance, almost everything is the same. She also said similar things."

"..."

The online comments were passed to the Production Room Backstage.

The backstage director specifically selected a portion of the comments to report to Jiang Zhe.

After receiving them, Jiang Zhe nodded silently. "Yes, as the friends in the comments said, distinguishing a person isn't about looking at your appearance, especially for your parents; they can tell who you are by observing your words and expressions."

"However, in the following situation, even your parents would be unable to distinguish you!"

These words once again piqued the curiosity of all the viewers, Experts, and leaders.
