Chapter 149

In fact, the existence of this disdain chain is unreasonable. In Zhang Yuan's time, the function of bionic organs was not as good as that of human organs. However, with the development of science and technology, bionic organs have already surpassed themselves.

"Mr. Yamamoto, what about the reproductive system?" Someone suddenly asked in the audience.

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

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

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

Apart from the brain, it's all mechanical. Is it human or human? A little bit of electricity can get the same feeling?

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

"I don't agree!"

"This is a serious challenge to our ethics!"

“…… What about the brain in the VAT? Who can be sure you're not living in a brain in a VAT? " Professor Yamamoto retorted loudly, "can we change the real nature of human beings just by replacing human skins with higher machines?"

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

But there are still not many people who can accept it.

Zhang Yuan felt vaguely that the atmosphere of the whole venue seemed to be a bit chaotic, the voices of discussion were getting louder and louder, and various opinions were emerging one after another.

Even though the benefits of this bionic transformation are obvious, most of you still can't accept it.

Even more difficult to accept than the public pension system

He asked academician Ding who was sitting next to him quietly, "teacher, is there no better plan that we can generally accept?"

Academician Ding gave a faint smile: "well What do you think? "

Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still strengthened his belief: "I only obey the results of calculation. If they are right, then Just do it. There is no nourishment in this debate. "

"But for ordinary people, these two plans are too radical to accept."

"The better way? Where is a 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 reform the law and morality. Our generation has witnessed the decline of the earth's civilization and indeed has the motive force for reform. But to shout out a brilliant ideal slogan can inspire for a while, but not for a lifetime. "

"Because human nature is here. Since the birth of human beings, human nature has not changed at all 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. "

"There is no way to build a great civilization in one generation. A gentleman's virtue will be cut off for five generations; a villain's virtue will be cut off for five generations. The decline of the earth's civilization, the next few generations can not feel, there is no such motive force

After a period of silence, academician Ding said: "so, human is still that human. Thousands of years later, our civilization has become the same as that of the earth. Zhang Yuan, do you accept this conjecture? "

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

But this conjecture is indeed in line with normal logic.

The human beings on the earth age have witnessed the rise and decline of the earth civilization. The pain and shock are beyond the comprehension of the later generations.

If the first generation can't make significant changes, the next generations are even less likely to make significant changes.

It's really unrealistic to rely on morality and other things to restrain the people behind, because morality itself is the product of Nash equilibrium under the game of human society. If some kind of "morality" goes against the interests of most people, then human beings will not hesitate to abandon it.

Academician Ding continued: "but, 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! Take, for example, the points raised at the meeting. "

"If you think about it, there is a child who has no parents since he was born. The father's love and the mother's love are all 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 received relevant transformation. He will think that it's no big deal to do bionic surgery, and he won't insist on some 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, after the transformation of human, or human? He was a little confused, too.

"So, what kind of human is human?"

Academician Ding laughed: "because of the standard? Chimpanzees have 99% genetic similarity to humans. Why aren't they humans? The genetic gap between Paramecium and human is not big

"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 people, or are we real people? "

“…… Based on wisdom? Do people with congenital mental retardation or Alzheimer's disease have to be expelled? You are so smart and stupid, 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 braid your hair and kneel down when you see officials! Do you think these pedantic creatures are human beings? "

"Nothing is immutable, especially thought, which changes most quickly."

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

Zhang Yuan understood what academician Ding meant and sighed a little.

Looking at a noisy group of people around, what people are struggling with now may become very ridiculous for future people.

Human intelligence.

It's really immature.
