The seventy-eighth chapter, with the right combination, with the odd victory (8)
Wang Ai frowned and thought deeply: "It stands to reason that productivity promotes changes in social form, and changes in social form evolve moral standards. In primitive communism, polyandry in matrilineal clans was moral, and later polyandry was also moral, and then to capitalism,
With socialism, morality becomes monogamy. Are you saying that communism will change?"
"I dare not draw a conclusion, but is it possible to change?" Leonie opened her eyes wide, as excited as a philosophical debate: "I think, yes!"
"Where's the evidence?"
"Everyone can only speculate about the future through a few signs." Leonie shook her head: "But I did find some evidence of trends. For example, people have invented many alternative tools, such as artificial wombs, such as
Drones, 3D printing, robots, artificial intelligence, do you know what these mean?”
Wang Ai thought for a while: "The relationship between the sexes has weakened?"
"It will not be weakened. After all, the difference between the body and genes is deep-rooted. Human beings have evolved from single cells to advanced mammals. The relationship between the sexes has existed in us humans for at least 1.8 billion years, even in very low-level creatures. So it is foreseeable
The two sexes will not disappear in the future, except in the very distant future. Since the material basis is like this, there is still complementarity in consciousness."
"You mean that the need pattern of the relationship between the sexes will change? The need to be freed from sex will become deeper physical and psychological needs, so that the pattern of love will change?"
"Yes." Leonie nodded happily: "This is my guess. In a communist society, women will no longer be able to use their body's uterus to get pregnant, and even their sexual life may be completely replaced. The relationship between the sexes will change.
For purely spiritual connection, psychological needs.”
"What about the family? If children are produced socially, such as parents providing genetic genes to ensure the continuation of some genes and targeted disease prevention, talent discovery, and of course the genetic diversity of the human species itself, what about the family?
?”
"I'm afraid it will be open-ended." Leonie shrugged: "Materials are extremely rich, families no longer have the function of material production, science and technology are highly developed, families no longer have the function of stable supply of sexual needs, and the model of the family must be more complicated.
Consciousness. A person can be loved by multiple people, and can love multiple people. Family relationships are no longer monogamous at the current stage, and morality will also change in line with this trend."
While Wang Ai was thinking, he subconsciously turned on some hot water, and then he realized: "You said so much, just to make me eliminate my moral guilt? Are you trying to tell me that I, as an individual, have entered the communist state?"
Ism? In spirit?”
Leonie smiled and shook her head: "Of course it doesn't count as a real entry, it can only be regarded as pseudo-communism. But you can't deny one thing, that is, of course you and I, who grew up in wealthy Europe, are better than many people in thinking and behavior.
, especially those in developing countries, are closer to communism. After all, highly developed productivity is the most fundamental feature of communism, so in a relatively developed productivity environment, human consciousness and social rules will be closer to communism. And you
, better than most Europeans."
Wang Ai nodded, and Leonie then said: "There is another piece of evidence, which is why you donated a large amount of money. I can understand self-protection in the early years, but now? Do you still need self-protection? Maybe you do, but not
Is it so urgent? My analysis is that you grew up under a classic socialist education, and then you quickly entered a material civilization environment with extremely developed productivity in your youth, which allowed your thoughts to progress rapidly and passed the intermediate stage."
Wang Ai nodded in admiration: "It's amazing to be able to describe lust in such a fresh and refined way!"
Leonie laughed and hit Wang Ai several times: "This is why I like you. You can tease many people in a short sentence, and there are several levels in your words. But you said,
Is this a spiritual love? A platonic one? Does my speculation just now make sense? Will love become like this in the relationship between the sexes in a communist environment?"
Wang Ai thought about it seriously: "Well, it is a very valuable hypothesis. It also gave me an idea as to why the bottom class of society is morally conservative, while the higher the class, the more open it is."
"you say?"
"The bottom class has fewer resources and is less resistant to risks. Therefore, after huge changes in social rules such as morality, it is difficult for them to resist and make up for the losses caused by the turmoil. And morality will provide them with the satisfaction of their most basic needs.
, for example, the moral concept of monogamy will curb people like me, leaving some for the bottom. And people like me will instinctively regard morality as a constraint, and consciously or unconsciously try to break free."
"Meat eaters are despicable."
"Yeah." Wang Ai nodded: "From now on, this sentence also has a class character... Not only is class conscious, but class also exists."
After finishing speaking, Wang Ai looked at Leoni seriously, and Leoni smiled sweetly: "I know, I know, people cannot exist beyond history, and people cannot exist beyond the stage of development they are in. Our discussion just now was purely academic.
On a personal level, I don't intend for it to become a code of conduct for me and my children."
"Yes." Wang Ai nodded: "No matter why it exists, it is wrong today, and today's view of right and wrong is also correct. We live in the 21st century, not the 31st century. So, alas! Something will happen to our family.
There are a lot of second-generation rich people. If they act recklessly, I will go to the newspapers to sever the relationship between father and son, and I will modify my will to let him fend for himself."
"So cruel?" Leonie tilted her head and smiled.
"Is the death penalty harsh?" Wang Ai shook his head: "Human society must protect itself through punishment, and our family is the same. It's just that lynching is immoral, but expulsion is still okay."
"Okay, but let me remind you, when our children begin to doubt their family relationships, your kind of education will make the children come to condemn you one by one." Leonie said solemnly.
Wang Ai was stunned for a moment, then blinked and nodded: "If you are wrong, you are wrong. If the children can learn lessons from their father, my father will not be in vain. Besides, I don't think the children will do it because of this incident."
Just deny me completely, right? A father with flaws is real."
"You are so cruel, both to your children and to yourself."
"Is it okay to be nice to you?" Wang Ai stood up holding Leonie in his arms: "Thank you for taking the trouble to discuss academic issues with me and comforting my two anxieties."
"What about physically?" Leonie hugged Wang Ai's neck and smiled sweetly: "Is it your turn to move?"
"We are already in a communist love, there is no need to move."
