Chapter 146

In fact, there is no reason for the existence of this chain of contempt. In Zhang Yuan's time, the functions of bionic organs were not as good as human organs, but with the development of science and technology, bionic organs have already surpassed themselves.

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

"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 necessary, make a A bionic organ with tactile function."

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

The whole venue was in an uproar for a while, and in this way, wouldn't human beings become "tanks?" "Mesencephalin"-like existence?

Are all machines except brains, are humans still humans? Can a little electricity get the same feeling?

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

"I disagree!"

"This poses a serious challenge to our ethics!" "

...What about the brain in a vat? Who can be sure what you are doing now? What about a world without a brain in a vat?" Professor Yamamoto retorted loudly, "Just replacing the human skin with a higher-level machine, can it change the true essence of human beings?" "The true essence of human beings

? What is it?! Can you answer? Do those cells of yours represent you?"

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

Zhang Yuan faintly felt that the atmosphere of the whole venue seemed to be a bit chaotic, the voice of the discussion was getting louder, and various opinions emerged one after another.

Even though the benefits of this bionic modification are obvious, most of the people here still have no way to accept it.

Even more unacceptable than the social public support system...

He quietly asked Academician Ding who was sitting next to him, "Teacher, isn't there a better solution that everyone can accept?"

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

Zhang Yuan hesitated, Still strengthened my belief: "I only obey the results of calculations. If they are correct, then... execute it. This kind of debate is not nutritious at all." "But for ordinary people, these

two The plan is too radical, and there may be no way to accept it."

"The so-called better way? Where is there any better way?"

Academician Ding said lightly: "What we have to do is to change the entire civilization from the root, from The root node is completely different from the beginning. Only in this way can we take a critical step out of mediocrity." "

... You have to know that it is absolutely unreliable to pass legal and moral reforms. Our generation has witnessed the civilization of the earth. The decline and demise of the world does have the driving force for reform. But shouting out a loud 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 undergone any changes... People are self-interested creatures, with few exceptions."

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

"A great civilization cannot be built in one generation. The virtue of a gentleman will be cut in the fifth generation; I can't feel it, and it's impossible to have that kind of driving force."

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

Zhang Yuan was stunned, Professor Ding's conjecture was very cold and did not sound very comfortable.

But this speculation is indeed in line with normal logic.

The human beings on the Earth Age have witnessed the rise and decline of the earth's civilization with their own eyes. The pain and shock are beyond the comprehension of the next few generations.

If the first generation cannot make major changes, then subsequent 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 the majority of 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, a few points raised at the meeting." "Think carefully

, There is a child who has no parents since he was born, and 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, and the world itself works like this."

"If a person lives in society, the people around him are all bionics and have undergone relevant transformations. He will think that bionic surgery is no big deal, and he will not insist on any bullshit pure anthropology... "

Zhang Yuan sighed, yes, it is true.

Humans are creatures of the herd. Conformity is not a phenomenon, but a part of human nature, the best choice based on human physiological characteristics.

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

"So, what kind of human is human?"

Academician Ding smiled: "Is it based on genes? Chimpanzee genes are 99% similar to humans. Why are they not humans? The genetic gap between paramecium and humans Not too big."

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

"...Wisdom as the standard? Are those congenital mentally handicapped or dementia patients expelled? You are so smart and stupid than you, don't you stop being a human?" "Culture as the standard?

If If you live in medieval Europe, you will be burned alive if you say 'the sun is the center of the entire universe'; if you live in the Qing Dynasty, you have to tie your pigtails and kneel when you see officials! Do you think these pedantic Is your living creature human?"

"Nothing is eternal, especially things like thoughts, which change the fastest." "

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

Zhang Yuan understood Ding Academician's meaning, he sighed slightly.

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

Human intelligence.

It's... childish.
