Chapter 1830 This must be a day trip to the brain in a vat
This chapter still needs some time, probably 1-1.5 hours. I haven't slept well in the past few days, which affects my efficiency.
"For us,"
As the receptionist spoke, he looked up at the blue sky, as if his thoughts had drifted elsewhere: "... Getting rid of libido is a very simple thing. Not only is it technically simple, there is nothing that cannot be overcome mentally.
Its impact on human psychology is too far-reaching and unpredictable. It has brought countless distortions, struggles and pains, but there are not many obvious benefits. In the words of your commodity society, libido has been eliminated.
product.”
After he finished speaking, Lin Sanjiu was unable to speak for half a minute.
Doctor Cat closed his eyes again as soon as he heard the words "human psychology", which coincided with the mainstream attitude of early medicine towards psychology; while Bohemia's expression was as blank as if the receptionist had just suddenly sung
An Italian opera - Among the people present, only Lin Sanjiu realized the weight of these words.
No wonder……
Looking at the receptionist's half-hidden smile, the little question deep in her mind was finally solved.
Ever since she experienced "garbage man's morning", that vague question had floated in the depths of her consciousness; it was neither big nor important, but it made her uncomfortable like the gravel in her shoes.
A man with a very outstanding appearance chose to become a garbageman because he could get the greatest spiritual satisfaction from this job - and the receptionist said this at the time: "For us, things that make us happy physically and mentally
There are too many things, and the pleasure brought by appearance only accounts for a very small part."
...how is this possible?
Anyone who has a certain understanding of human psychology will know that it is almost impossible for this group to ignore appearance. "Judging people by their appearance" is a biological behavior passed down from the ape-man era and genetically encoded in the human body. One of the most important reasons is,
It's the connection between appearance and sexual reproduction.
The most primitive aesthetic, which is also the basic aesthetic popular among various cultures, is a kind of identification and pursuit of health: rosy complexion, clear eyes, neat teeth, thick hair... People think that unhealthy individuals are
Ugly, courting the opposite sex with healthy characteristics is essentially to better reproduce the next generation. Even same-sex courtship that does not have the function of reproduction also reflects a similar consistency; as for the various culturally developed
Aesthetic diversity and so on are a matter for later.
If humans lost their sexual drive...
When Lin Sanjiu thought about this, she couldn't think about it anymore. Because her imagination was not enough for her to guess what the human mind would be like without libido. Libido is not only for sexual reproduction.
Power, although it comes from sex; a psychoanalytic theory even believes that it is the root driving force of all human behaviors. Even for eunuchs who have lost their sexual organs, or for elderly people who have entered their twilight years, libido has always been
Driven by various psychological forms, affecting their lives——
"Hey, what on earth is that libido?" Bohemia came over and asked softly.
It was too complicated to explain to her. Lin Sanjiu was still immersed in all kinds of thoughts aroused by the shock. She just waved her hand like a fly. Bohemia suddenly had a long face and glanced at the girl sleeping in the skirt.
The cat doctor who went to the hospital had a hard time holding back her anger.
"How...how is this possible?"
Lin Sanjiu looked at the receptionist and couldn't understand this concept for a while. Since she couldn't imagine it, she didn't even know where to start asking, so she could only mutter and repeat: "How is this possible?"
"In order to prevent you from falling asleep too," the receptionist glanced at Doctor Cat and smiled: "I will not introduce the technical details in detail. I am not a scholar of psychoanalysis, and I cannot introduce it in accurate academic language.
The impact of this series of changes... If you are interested, you can read the relevant academic papers - oh, I forgot, you won't read the text here."
He frowned slightly, and seemed to find it a bit difficult: "I can only describe to you my personal feelings and understanding... My hobby is writing poetry, so the language may not be accurate, please forgive me."
Lin Sanjiu nodded.
"Due to my work, I have a much deeper understanding of other human societies than the average local. But the more I understand, the more I feel how rare and valuable the mushroom society is... Of course, that is another topic. In my opinion
In our understanding, other members of human society are always in a state of being judged by others, right?"
"you mean--"
“When a person walks into the eyes of others, he can never get rid of a series of value judgments that come with it... For example, what kind of job does this person do, what kind of car does he drive, whether he is fat or thin, the color of his skin, etc.
There are…endless judgments. If you don’t rely on these standards to make judgments, your society will not know how to treat a person.”
This is indeed true.
Lin Sanjiu looked at Bohemia next to him. The conversation seemed to have gone very far away from the topic so far. Bohemia tilted her head, listening with confusion on her face, but she still tried hard to understand the two of them.
If so, Lin Sanjiu couldn't guess at all whether her thoughts had wavered.
"But in the mushroom world, when we look at a person, we only see the person himself. We will not judge the value of this person because of any external factors - you are beautiful and rich, and I will not be envious of you.
You; your facial features are underdeveloped, and I will not hate running away from you. When your eyes still stay on the surface of whether you are strong or not, and whether you are beautiful or not, what we really long for is the spiritual connection between people. Like you
As we can see, there are actually no concepts such as money, status and class in our society. This is not only because we have generally found spiritual pursuits... but also because the elimination of money, which will only bring negative effects,
After pursuit, we removed the biological judgment standard in the body. This allows our society to look directly at a person's purest essence."
These words contained a lot of information and were difficult to understand. He paused here, as if he wanted Lin Sanjiu to digest it.
"When you first arrive, you may ask, without the stimulating factor of money, what do people use as motivation to make society move forward? My answer is that in order for human beings to progress, there are factors that are far more powerful than money, such as beliefs and ideals.
There are too many hobbies and a sense of mission. Similarly, you may ask, without libido, what will people use as the driving force to make society operate and the race to reproduce?"
Lin Sanjiu nodded unconsciously - the wound on the back of his head felt pain again.
"The first thing to explain is that giving up fertility is a personal choice, and not everyone has to do it. But the trend now is that more and more people realize that getting rid of this heavy, primitive biological instinct brings
The benefits come. So the number of people like me has been increasing over the past twenty years."
He smiled slightly and covered his mouth with his fist. For a moment, he looked a bit shy. The people here were all pretty good-looking, and it was not easy to tell their age. Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell how old he was.
- "Secondly, even if we give up reproduction, we will continue to fulfill our responsibilities as members of the species like other human beings... Because we like this place and this world. Because we like it, we want it to grow long
To maintain it cleanly for a long time, we are willing to donate all our sperm and eggs, or raise our own clones."
As soon as the last few words were heard, Bohemia took a sharp breath.
Even if there were genetic similarities between parent and child, the mother and daughter would not even have similar voices... Lin Sanjiu glanced at her and whispered: "Do you still remember the reflection that Meijia saw in the puddle?
If you can ignore the wounds and swelling, she is exactly the teenage version of her mother..."
Thinking about it this way, when they first entered this world, they had seen a report about a fire in a kindergarten at Lao Da's house. The unhappy-looking parent on TV seemed to be holding a child himself.
