Because of the deepening of silicon-based transformation and the substantial improvement of intelligence, everyone's rationality and ability to control the body are increasing. This enhancement can faintly inhibit the effects of hormones.
Man's "self-will" comes from the body, but is bound by the body.
One of the most important ones is hormones.
If the anus is removed and there are no sex hormones, the human body's ejaculation will be greatly reduced; oxytocin is called the "love hormone" and the "hug compound" because it can have a certain effect on maternal behavior; if the blood
By always maintaining a high blood sugar concentration, people will not have much appetite...
This series of hormones affects all aspects of people and controls the desires in people's bodies.
As long as desires are satisfied, dopamine secretion in the brain increases, and people will feel happy.
This is actually an incentive mechanism from the body.
Various hormones naturally produced in the body are actually part of people's "self-will". Coupled with some feedback effects of the nervous system, they give people a certain degree of subjective initiative, allowing people to eat when they are hungry and sexually mature.
They will seek a spouse and so on. From simple reasons, they can be derived into complex actions.
This product of hundreds of millions of years of evolution is not only a constraint on "comprehensive freedom" at the spiritual level, but it is also a form of self-protection.
In essence, every move of a person has a purpose, and its meaning can be explained by "genetic philosophy". People are born with an understanding of the meaning of their lives, which is the survival and reproduction brought about by genes.
However, if the new humans carry out the next step of transformation, they will lose all physiological desires due to the substantial increase in rationality. In other words, they will directly get rid of the normative effect of "genetic philosophy".
Yu Yifeng believes that this state of having no physical restraints, or no philosophical system to restrain one's actions, and an idle mind is very dangerous.
"Brain idling" does not mean greater freedom, but it will lose a series of goals and become a real object without goals.
The genetic philosophy system stipulates questions such as "who am I", "what should I do", "how should I do it", etc. When a person is born, he naturally has goals, and the answers to almost all actions can be found in genetic philosophy.
Find the reason. If you blindly transcend this system, people will instantly lose these "answers" given by nature and will not know the meaning of what they are doing. This is definitely a very dangerous move.
"So, no matter how high your intelligence is, you cannot let your brain idle. You must live meaningfully."
From this perspective, man is just a machine...a precision controlled machine!
Throwing away the program written inside the machine, leaving only a CPU, at least it becomes desireless and more "Buddha-nature", and at worst it has a tendency of self-destruction. Because people have no goals and can't feel anything.
I can't feel any happiness, I can't feel any desire, I'm just dumbfounded, what's the difference between living and dying?
"To sum up, the practical work of assisting the brain can only go so far for the time being. Before this problem is solved, even if the fourth generation of assisting brains is developed, we will not be able to use it for a while." At this meeting
, Yu Yifeng said seriously.
"The deepening degree of transformation suppresses the body's instincts and makes the genetic philosophy originally hidden in the body gradually unable to function."
"So I think that if we want to iterate our intelligence upwards, we must use a complete philosophical system to regulate ourselves. We must explore the goals of our future actions, the meaning of our existence and other philosophical issues..."
"Only by forming a complete philosophical system can we completely transcend the shackles of genes. Otherwise, directly transcending will lead to devastating disasters."
"Everyone, the goal now is: to establish a new, more meaningful system."
Yu Yifeng declared his goal passionately.
This is...the dividing line between humans and gods!
Humans can only act under the rules of nature, but gods can play with their own systems and regulate themselves!
Of course, this normative system is very, very complicated. It must not only ensure that the entire civilization has a higher level of improvement, but also must not have any loopholes. If it doesn't work well, it will kill itself.
For example, increasing the pleasure brought by sexual intercourse or the pleasure brought by eating by 100 million times is absolutely unacceptable...
Everyone in the conference room has become very rational. Even Dr. Rimbaud, who has been "radical" for more than a thousand years, has gradually become calmer over the years.
When a problem arises, after everyone discusses it, they can quickly summarize the pros and cons of a plan and add in the details. With a significant improvement in intelligence, the original difficulty is no longer a difficulty, and the original problem is no longer a problem.
However, this meeting is different. It involves an unprecedented branch... the philosophy tree!
"I agree with this point of view... We should pay more attention to philosophical discussions. There is still a lot to be explored in science, but a series of more sound philosophical ideas must also start to be established."
Another philosopher said: "It will guide us to become a more powerful and brilliant civilization."
With the development of science, everyone has become accustomed to using brain waves to communicate directly. However, due to historical inertia, in conference rooms, everyone still speaks and uses voice to transmit information. Everyone tries to think more and talk less.
So, how to regulate yourself when your "brain is idle"?
This question is difficult!
Some people think that the "gene philosophy" system is already very good. Although people can easily degenerate under this system, it has evolved to this point and naturally has its advantages. At least, it is complete and does not have too many loopholes.
I won’t kill myself to death.
Therefore, this school of thought believes that "you should imitate the reward mechanism of nature, re-create a body for yourself, and use the entire reward system of genetic philosophy... All happiness mechanisms should use the original one."
But there are also some people who want to be ambitious and create their own philosophy trees. They believe that a more powerful system should be created to standardize higher and higher wisdom, and people are wise enough to achieve a positive cycle.
So, what should we do if we create a philosophical system artificially?
"Write a program in your head that makes people feel happy? Write a series of goals? Pursue endless curiosity? Pursue endless unknowns?"
