Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 149:

In fact, there is no reason for the existence of this chain of contempt. https://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 long surpassed itself.

"Mr. Yamamoto, where is the reproductive system?" someone suddenly asked in the audience.

"The reproductive system? You can keep it or not..." Yamamoto frowned and said, "However, keeping the reproductive system will increase the complexity of the system. I still prefer not to keep it. Or, if I 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 currents to get the same feeling..."

The whole venue was in an uproar. In this way, wouldn't human beings become a "brain in a tank" existence?

Except for the brain, all are machines. Are humans still humans? Can you get the same feeling with a little current?

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

"I don't agree!"

"This poses a serious challenge to our ethics!"

"...What about the brain in the tank? Who can be sure that you are not living in the world of the brain in the tank?" Professor Yamamoto retorted loudly, "It's just replacing the human skin with a higher one. Could it be possible to change the true nature of mankind with the machinery?"

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

But there are not many people who can accept it.

Zhang Yuan faintly felt that the atmosphere in the whole venue seemed a bit chaotic, the discussion was getting louder and louder, and various opinions emerged endlessly.

Even though the benefits of this kind of bionics transformation are obvious, the vast majority of people here still cannot accept it.

Even, more difficult to accept than the public welfare system...

He quietly asked Academician Ding, who was sitting next to him, "Teacher, isn't there a better plan that is generally acceptable to everyone?"

Academician Ding smiled faintly: "So...what do you think?"

Zhang Yuan hesitated for a while, but still firmed up his belief: "I only obey the results of calculations. If they are correct, then... execute it. This kind of debate is totally unnutritive."

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

"The so-called better way? Where is the better way?"

Academician Ding said faintly: "What we have to do is to change the entire civilization from the root, starting from the root node is completely different. Only in this way can we take a crucial step to get rid of mediocrity."

"...you have to know that it is absolutely unreliable to pass legal and moral reforms. Our generation has witnessed the decline of the earth’s civilization, and indeed has the driving force for reform. But it shouts a loud ideal slogan, It can be motivated for a while, but it can't be motivated for a lifetime."

"Because human nature is here, since the birth of mankind, human nature has not undergone any changes...Humans are self-interested creatures, and there are few exceptions."

"Without experience, there will be no corresponding beliefs. When our generation is dead, future generations will waste all our efforts. They cannot have our beliefs and persistence."

"A great civilization cannot be built in one generation. The zeal of the gentleman will be cut in the fifth generation; the zeal of the villain will be cut in the fifth generation. The earth’s civilization is declining, and the following generations cannot feel it at all. There can be no such motive force."

For a while, Academician Ding said: "So, human beings are still human beings. After thousands of years, our civilization has become the same civilization as the earth's civilization. Zhang Yuan, do you accept this speculation?" /

Zhang Yuan was stunned. Professor Ding's speculation was very cold and sounded uncomfortable.

But this speculation is indeed in line with normal logic.

The humans on the Earth Age have witnessed the rise and decline of the earth’s civilization with their own eyes. The pain and shock that the following generations will not be able to appreciate.

If the first generation cannot make major changes, then the following generations are even less likely to make major changes.

It is indeed unrealistic to rely on things like morality to restrain 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, then humans will abandon it without hesitation.

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 points raised at the conference."

"If you think about it, there is a child who has no parents since birth. 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 think this is a matter of course. , The world itself works like this."

"If a person lives in society, the surrounding people are all bionics and have undergone related transformations. He will feel that it is not a big deal to do bionic surgery, and he will not insist on pure human beings who are shit. Doctrine..."

Zhang Yuan sighed, yes, it is true.

Human beings are a kind of conformity creatures. Herd is not a phenomenon, but a part of human nature. It is the best choice based on human physiological characteristics.

But, are the transformed humans still humans? He was also a little puzzled.

"So, what kind of humans are humans?"

Academician Ding laughed: "Is the gene as the standard? The chimpanzee's genes are similar to humans~IndoMTL.com~Why are they not humans? Paramecium and humans are not far behind."

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

"...to the criterion of wisdom? Do those with congenital mental retardation or Alzheimer's disease have to be expelled? You are so smart and stupid than you, do you stop being a human being?"

"Culture is the standard? If you live in medieval Europe and say, "The sun is the center of the universe", you will be burned alive; if you live in the Qing Dynasty, you have to tie your braids and see Officials have to kneel down! Do you think these pedantic creatures are humans?"

"Nothing is eternal, especially thinking, 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 struggling with now may become very ridiculous for people in the future.

Human wisdom.

It's... naive.
