Chapter 154

(Title: human wisdom)

In fact, the existence of this contempt chain is unreasonable. In Zhang Yuan's era, the function of bionic organs was not as good as human organs, but with the development of science and technology, bionic organs have long surpassed themselves.

"Mr. Yamamoto, what about the reproductive system?" Someone suddenly asked under the stage.

"Reproductive system? You can keep it or not... "Yamamoto frowned and said," however, preserving the reproductive system will increase the complexity of the system. I still prefer not to keep it. Or, if necessary, be a bionic organ with only tactile function. "

"If you want to make yourself happy, you can directly stimulate the brain with bioelectrical current to get the same feeling..."

The whole venue was in an uproar. In this way, didn't mankind become a "brain in a VAT"?

Except the brain, it's all machinery. Are humans or humans? Can you get the same feeling with a little current?

"Dr. Yamamoto, your idea seems too idealistic!"

"I don't agree!"

"This poses a serious challenge to our ethics!"

"... what about the brain in the VAT? Who can be sure that you are not living in the world of the brain in the VAT? " Professor Yamamoto retorted loudly, "can it change the real nature of human beings just by replacing human skin bags with higher machinery?"

"What is the real essence of human beings?! Can you answer? Do your cells represent yourself? "

But there are still few people who can accept it.

Zhang Yuan vaguely felt that the atmosphere of the whole venue seemed a little chaotic, the voice of discussion was getting louder and louder, and various opinions were emerging one after another.

Even though the benefits of this bionic transformation are obvious, the vast majority of people here still can't accept it.

Even more unacceptable than the social public support system

He quietly asked academician Ding sitting next to him, "teacher, isn't there a better plan that everyone can generally accept?"

Academician Ding smiled faintly: "so... What do you think?"

Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still strengthened his belief: "I only obey the results brought by calculation. If they are correct, then... Do it. This debate is not nutritious at all. "

"But for ordinary people, these two schemes are too radical and may not be acceptable."

"The so-called better way? What better way? "

Academician Ding said faintly, "what we need to do is to change the whole civilization from the root, which is completely different from the root node. Only in this way can we take a key step out of mediocrity. "

"... you should know that it is absolutely unreliable to pass legal and moral reforms. Our generation has witnessed the decline of earth civilization and indeed has the driving force of reform. But shouting a loud ideal slogan can inspire a moment, but not a lifetime. "

"Because human nature is here. Since the birth of mankind, human nature has not changed... People are selfish creatures, with few exceptions."

"Without experience, there will be no corresponding faith. When our generation dies, future generations will waste all our efforts. They can't have our faith and persistence. "

"A great civilization cannot be built in one generation. The Ze of a gentleman is cut for five generations; The villain's Ze is also cut off for five generations. The earth's civilization has declined, and the next few generations can't feel it. It's impossible to have that driving force. "

After being silent for a while, academician Ding said, "so, human beings are still that human beings. Thousands of years later, our civilization has become the same civilization as the earth civilization. Zhang Yuan, do you accept this speculation? "

Zhang Yuan was stunned. Professor Ding's speculation was very cold and didn't sound very comfortable.

But this speculation is indeed in line with normal logic.

The human beings on the earth times have witnessed the rise and decline of earth civilization. The pain and shock are beyond the grasp of future generations.

If the first generation can not make significant changes, then the later generations are even less likely to make significant changes.

It is really unrealistic to rely on morality to bind the people behind, because morality itself is the product of Nash equilibrium under the mutual game of human society. If a certain "morality" goes against the interests of most people, mankind will not hesitate to abandon it.

Academician Ding continued: "however, Zhang Yuan, there are many things in the world. As long as we make a choice, future generations will not be able to make any changes! For example, several views put forward at the meeting. "

"When you think about it, there is a child who has no parents since birth. The father's love and mother's love are given to him by robots. And everyone around him has no parents. He will take it for granted that the world itself works like this. "

"If a person lives in society, the surrounding people are all bionic people who have undergone relevant transformation. He will think it's no big deal to do bionic surgery, and he won't stick to the bullshit pure human theory... "

Zhang Yuan sighed. Yes, it is.

Man is a herd creature. Conformity is not a phenomenon, but a part of human nature. It is the best choice based on human physiological characteristics.

However, is the transformed human still human? He was also a little confused.

"So, what kind of human is human?"

Academician Ding smiled: "is it based on the standard? Chimpanzees' genes are 99% similar to humans. Why aren't they human? The genetic gap between Paramecium and humans is also small. "

"Genes will be screened because of the environment. Maybe tens of thousands of years later, humans who are used to living in space have formed reproductive isolation from us. Are they real humans, or are we real humans? "

"... by wisdom? Do people with congenital mental retardation or Alzheimer's disease have to be expelled? You are so clever and stupid than you. Don't you stop being a man? "

"Culture as the standard? If you live in medieval Europe, saying 'the sun is the center of the whole universe' will be burned alive; If you live in the Qing Dynasty, you have to tie your braids and kneel when you see officials! Do you think these pedantic creatures are human? "

"Nothing is immutable, especially thought, which changes the fastest."

"As long as you think you are human, then you are human."

Zhang Yuan understood what academician Ding meant, and he sighed slightly.

Looking at the noisy group of people around, what people are tangled with now may become very ridiculous for people in the future.

Human wisdom.

It's... Childish.
