What exactly is a human being? This question is one of the eternal explorations in the science fiction world.
"Ghost in the Shell" believes that people are people with souls, and the so-called soul is a special substance produced in the brain that cannot be copied. Even in the electronic brain, this substance called soul can be produced
, anyway, those with souls are humans, and those without souls are machines. Even if they behave like humans, they are still not humans.
But many science fiction worlds do not have such convenient things, and it is difficult to define what a human being is.
Why do we need to define what a person is? In fact, it is very simple, it is a distribution relationship. Only people can join the distribution relationship, and if they are not, they will be kicked out.
At the beginning of ancient Rome, the Romans were composed of three clans: Latins, Sabines, and Etruscans. Only people from these three clans were Romans. However, as the expansion progressed, the definition of Romans changed.
There are no longer just three clans, but people have freedom, men have families, and citizens have the right to vote.
In ancient Greece, only those whose parents were Greeks became Greeks. This kind of economy could not expand, so in the end it could only strengthen internal distribution and reduce the outflow of resources.
It is not only necessary to determine the identity in politics, but also in religion. In Buddhism, there is always a saying that everyone can become a Buddha. So it is necessary to clarify whether, in addition to people, animals, plants, bacteria, and inorganic substances can become a Buddha? If so, monks and monks can become Buddhas.
You can’t even eat fast food. If you can’t, then why can’t you?
In monotheistic religions, there is a requirement for the Messiah to be born. The Messiah is the savior. Once the savior appears, the world will become beautiful. Then the condition for the Messiah to be born is to require people in the city and outside the city to stop working.
Pray. So the people in and outside the city include people who are entering and leaving the city? And how is this scope of work included? Do soldiers who are standing guard and doctors who are rescuing people also stop? Does it include
pagan?
In the early period of the Central Plains, there was a debate between Hua and Yi, and in the later period, there was a debate between "the Yi and the Di and the Huaxia, then the Huaxia will be the same; the Chinese and the Yi and the Di, then the Yi and the Di."
Positioning is all about distribution relationships. Only your own people can accept the distribution, and outsiders will go away.
The positioning of ancient Rome and ancient Central Plains can be changed. The barbarians of ancient Rome can join the distribution through war upgrades. The barbarians of ancient Central Plains can also join the Chinese game by accepting education.
In the world of science fiction, although equality for all has not yet been established, many people have already begun to think about what human beings are, and have erected walls for humans early to prevent artificial intelligence, artificial humans, robots and other products from joining the distribution relationship of humans.
It is obvious that human beings have several sets of distribution methods within themselves, and none of them are unified and equal yet. It is obviously a little early to think about what a human is first.
So Dulan directly said that those who can participate in the distribution relationship are human beings, and those who cannot join are not human beings. It is really based entirely on the perspective of interests and has no humanistic care at all.
But this is indeed correct, because starting from humanistic care, we must talk about the uniqueness of human beings. Only by finding the unique advantages of human beings can humans and non-human beings be distinguished. But Duran has experienced so many worlds and knows many non-human civilizations.
It is clear that these non-human civilizations are as good as humans. Moreover, the problems they encounter are similar to humans, and the methods of solving problems are similar, so humans have no superiority at all.
Even the contradictions inherent in human beings are not unique. Many non-human civilizations also encounter the same contradictions. Even the contradictions are not special, so how can humans have any unique advantages?
Therefore, Dulan really cannot answer what human beings are from the perspective of humanistic care, so it is much simpler from the perspective of distribution. Those who can participate in distribution are human beings, and those who cannot participate in distribution are not human beings. Of course, this statement is very offensive to Dong Dong.
Yue, this old man, after all, their generation still believes that human beings have merits. Although they are suppressed by the apostles, humans can come up with the "Human Completion Plan" and compete with the apostles for the dominance of fusion, and the human ancestors have left early
It is very prescient to download a strategy like "Dead Sea Script".
And the apostles have been sleeping for so long, and when they wake up, they start to give experience one by one. Even if human beings are reckless, they can still defeat the apostles by relying on technology. Isn't this the advantage of human beings?
However, Duran knew that many non-human civilizations could also do this. As long as they mastered the technology tree, there was nothing special about it.
"In your opinion, don't humans have any advantages? You first said that true love has no appearance, and then you said that distribution is the way to distinguish human beings. Do you think human beings are so backward in soul and body?" Dong
Yue, as a human being, needs to be broken up.
"There are thousands of living creatures in nature, and the human body has no irreplaceable advantages. Although the human body does a good job in dissipating heat, it is only good, not the best. And it makes their bodies more perfect,
Let’s just talk about the appearance of Thunder Angel. It is an absolute plane, which is absolute in the physical sense. Human beings cannot compare with it. There is also an absolute spherical shape, which is also absolute in the physical sense. The human body cannot reach it at all.” “Let’s talk about humans.
One soul of Lilith is worth hundreds of millions of humans. In terms of quantity, humans must lose. What about quality? Ayanami Rei has a variety of varieties, which is enough to prove that the quality of Lilith fragments is much higher than that of humans. There are also demons
, Demon's Soul is also very powerful, so we also lost in terms of soul. It is really difficult to admit that human beings have no advantages, but it does not mean that you must be the best to survive. Sometimes mediocrity is also a kind of survival wisdom." Duran said.
.
Standing in the wind, a pig can fly into the sky.
"So humans don't have any merits to be proud of?" Dongyue still doesn't admit defeat. He hopes to be recognized by Dulan, because Dulan is a strong man, and being recognized by a strong man is of great significance to mankind.
"It can't be said that there is none at all. Human beings have a good foundation and can be transformed in various ways. This can be considered an advantage. It is precisely because of mediocrity that the compatibility is good." Dulan said that it is very important to carry out various transformations based on human beings.
Potential: "The God of Ceres is immortal, and there is nothing wrong with not being excellent."
The God of Grain is immortal, from the "Tao Te Ching". Grain is the valley, God is the spirit, and the spirit of the valley is tolerance. It has no great ability, but it can tolerate everything. The cup is empty, so water can be put in. Inside the door is
It is empty, so you can go in and out. In other words, it is better to have no advantages than to have advantages and have more choices.
With advantages, it is difficult to change. But without advantages, you can always turn around and find other ways out. So from a Taoist perspective, mediocrity is actually a great talent.
It sounds very much like comforting words. After all, if there is no water in the cup, it is meaningless. If there are no people in the door, it is meaningless. But on the other hand, if water is poured, the cup will be regarded as too big or too small.
, if people leave, the door will be criticized as being too wide or too narrow. Therefore, it is safest to leave it empty and mediocre.
To survive, naturally the safest method is the best method. Therefore, the ability of human beings to survive and survive in mediocrity is the advantage of human beings.
Dongyue didn't hear the praise she expected to hear, but Dulan didn't say that humans were bad, so he just did what he should do.
