0621 Chapter Thirteen: A Big Adventure on a Small Holiday (Section 10)
This time, many of Zhen Cheng's problems were solved in one fell swoop. But there still seemed to be a lot left:
"As far as I know, there are many children who yearn for a world where they can kill at will. For example, my cheap tutor had this kind of behavior when he was young.
But in the outside world, parents often prevent them from engaging in any risky activities."
"This is a common problem for humans in the outer universe. Have you...never considered that children also have the right to free will?" Unsurprisingly, King Kong Fox gave a very "all-self" answer.
"So you all agree with letting your children fight to the death?" Zhen Cheng was a little surprised at this point. She had to agree, but she was just simply surprised.
You know, even in ancient Sparta, most parents would be very sad when they saw their children die in assessment or training.
Diamond Fox shook his head and said: "We have more thoroughly solved the problem of parents imposing their own ideas and infringing on children's self-will - by getting rid of all the parents."
Zhen Cheng frowned and tilted his head, showing a strange yet polite smile.
King Kong Fox knew that Zhen Cheng had gone astray, so he smiled slightly and explained:
"Except for a few autonomous territories, ninety-nine percent of the citizens in the Land of All Me are not from natural birth, but are the product of genetic blending by [Shadows of All Me], including me.
Don't get me wrong, no one is forcing us to be sterilized. It's just that for thousands of years, people have made such a choice simply as many foreign values from the original world have been assimilated and with the great material affluence.
Among the universal values of the Land of All Self, we recognize the value of independent consciousness of all human beings, including infants and young children.
Therefore, you and other aliens always like to treat children as their own private property and educate them according to their own preferences or a certain "socially recognized" direction; we would rather not be involved in the growth of young people.
They will grow up in an independent area, study and have fun with their peers, and communicate and make friends with adults from various autonomous regions through the Internet.
They will grow according to their true nature and desires in a completely free environment without any intentional inducement.
In the future, they can become great inventors and great magicians who benefit the world, or they can become bloodthirsty murderers who take pleasure in destruction.
The best thing about the Land of All Self is that no matter what kind of person you want to be, no one will criticize or demand you. You can find the corresponding autonomous territory without infringing on anyone else's free will.
Live a contented life of contentment.
In my opinion, this is a wonderful thing that cannot be achieved by any other ultimate society except the Land of All Self.
Of course, if you insist on your right to reproduce and value blood kinship, you can live in a series of autonomous territories starting with No. 860,000.
There are some areas there where girls live a family-oriented life similar to the relatively primitive social form in the outer universe. In some areas, the original family system of two wives and one daughter is implemented. You can even find families formed entirely by heterosexuals and transgender people.
Dominion.
But those are only a very small number of areas after all. Under normal circumstances, children in the Land of All Me can choose the future we really want without most outside interference, under the witness of [Shadows of All Me]."
"Since birth?"
"How is that possible?" Zhen Cheng was looked down upon: "Of course newborns also have the right to be free, but since they can't even speak, it's obviously impossible to let them make choices.
So in the Land of All Me, all newborns have no divisions until they are fourteen years old. We will take a values test when we reach adulthood at the age of fourteen."
"Sounds a bit cruel." Zhen Cheng curled her lips, and the image of someone always crying for their father and mother during the finals of St. Matar Academy appeared in her mind.
By the way, crying for father and mother means literally, because the students in that damn place can really rely on their parents to solve their academic problems.
"Cruel?" King Kong Fox was confused: "The exam only allows us to see ourselves clearly and reminds us which area of life is most suitable for us. For patients with difficulty in making choices, this is really the best medicine.
What's more, the final partition will be chosen by ourselves, and it doesn't matter whether we follow the recommended results given by [Shadow of All Me]."
"After all, you are only fourteen years old. Some people will always choose a division that is not suitable for them because they have a good relationship with their companions, right? And when you reach adulthood at fourteen, is it too early to make the most important life choice?" Zhen
Cheng complained.
"When I was fourteen, I had already obtained my first doctorate degree," King Kong Fox said with a hint of pride:
"Of course, most ordinary people are not as good as me, but at least they have graduated from a bachelor's degree and can become a mage apprentice or graduate student.
The Land of All Self can be regarded as one of the famous ultimate social forms in all the heavens and all realms. Don’t compare it with some medium and low-developed universes in the information age.
If they become a couple, or directly choose marriage or group marriage at the coming-of-age ceremony, the newly adult girls will take into account the wishes of all the couples and choose a partitioned life that everyone agrees with.
And if we find that we are no longer suitable for each other after living together for a while, we can also apply to change our household registration and change the area where we live at any time.
Of course, this is the land of all egos, and some couples who choose to live in alien planets and maintain platonic relationships throughout their lives also exist.
The Land of All Me offers near-absolute freedom to all and every citizen, since some people just don't like physical contact."
"Can I still change my household registration?" In Zhen Cheng's concept, with the land of ten thousand and one covering all the galaxies in the universe, such a thing is almost impossible to achieve.
Seemingly seeing through Zhen Cheng's concerns, King Kong Fox explained: "Don't forget that the social system of the Land of All Things is based on great material abundance.
Both that master and [Shadows of All Me] have made amazing investments here. In the current Land of All Me, Shensu channels almost fill the entire universe. Under the management of [Shadows of All Me], there are many channels every day.
An astronomical number of cross-star transmissions are carried out at any time."
"If that's the case, can I go to a certain area in No. 60,000 and kill random people, and then immediately hide back in the autonomous territory in No. 120,000 to enjoy a peaceful life?" Zhen Cheng asked suspiciously.
"Of course not," King Kong Fox looked at Zhen Cheng strangely: "First of all, applying for a household registration change requires a review waiting period, different conditions for each region, and corresponding value points.
Of course, the thresholds for all these standards are not high. As long as you are not deliberately causing trouble, any citizen who really needs to change his household registration can achieve it through hard work.
Secondly, if you just want to enjoy killing occasionally during most of your peaceful time, wouldn't it be enough to just go to a corresponding Dominion?
With the development of Wanwo Land to this day, it is almost impossible to find a dominion that does not perfectly meet the system you desire in your heart.
If you really can't, you can even expand a new autonomous territory at the edge of the universe. It's just that such a place will be lonely at first.
However, once the existence of the Dominion is recognized by [Shadow of All Me], it will be included in the values testing system. More people will soon join you."
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
The idea of a land of ten thousand people actually goes far beyond the meaning of a social structure in the fictional world of a novel to Xiaoyun. Instead, it is a vision of the possibility of the ultimate social form of mankind based on the author's personal value system.
kind of discussion.
The setting of My Land is extremely large, rich, and comprehensive. Xiaoyun couldn't think of a better way to present it to everyone in the novel with an interesting enough story, so he could only do it to the current level.
In short, due to space limitations, if there are any logical loopholes or what everyone can think of, Xiaoyun is very welcome to discuss it.
Of course, the ideal social form in Xiaoyun's mind may not be what each of you likes best. It's normal if you don't like it or even feel disgusted. Just treat it as a study of the society in the outer universe.
The nine seats in Blood Candle Keep range from chaotic evil to lawful good. There is always a value that suits you. Unfortunately, due to space limitations, this book probably does not have the opportunity to show everyone all nine ideal social forms.
