Human beings are just players, not the makers of the rules of the game. In the game of the earth, if the rules of the game change, human beings can only be helplessly weakened.
Mana ecology is a game about the soul, a game between rationality and sensibility. Human beings do not have an advantage in it because human emotions are too fragile.
"Human beings are good seeds, but seeds will bloom and bear fruit one day. Seeds cannot remain seeds forever. Now some seeds don't want to bloom and bear fruit. It's really naive to want to maintain the appearance of seeds forever." A dark figure looked out.
Standing at the lighthouse and talking to himself, he called human beings seeds.
The seeds should bear fruit and should dedicate themselves, but obviously many human beings are not willing.
"Everything in nature is devoting itself. The wind stops and rises, the rain stops and falls, plants grow and wither, and animals become delicacies on the table. Human beings enjoy all the conveniences and wait until they are needed to sprout.
How stupid, how naive, and how selfish this is to refuse one's mission when the time comes." Black Shadow always says to himself.
Obviously while the lighthouse is coveting surface resources, there are also people on the surface who are eyeing the lighthouse.
Sitting on the edge of the lighthouse, Dulan felt the gears of fate turning, the wind blowing on his face, and the restless message of Mana's ecology came.
Mana Ecology is eager to devour, eager for more life essence.
In addition to the Mana Ecology, there are many forces eager to compete for the status of the new version of the Son. Everyone knows that in the new era, whoever controls more of the source of life will win.
This battle is bound to be a war.
However, if you want to fight, you must first adapt to the Mana ecology. There are only a few types of adaptation: mechanical ascension, genetic mutation, biochemical armor, and metaphysical training.
"What exactly is a human being? Captain Mark, have you ever thought about it?"
"Just call me Mark." Mark said: "I am no longer the captain. I think that to truly live is to be a human being."
Dulan thought that Mark really had the disease of "really living" and was really working towards this goal wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, he could not see that the lighthouse could achieve this goal in this life.
However, everyone in this world needs an ideal land and a hope. In an ideal land, there is no buying and selling, and there is no killing. The ancients used the word Yao, Shun, and Yu, the West used ancient Greece, and religion used the word heaven. Later, it was known that the moon in foreign countries was used.
, when these ideal towns failed to work, they began to praise the era of great men in the early stages of modern industrialization, thinking that era was the best.
Anyway, there is no buying and selling, and there is no killing. Anyway, all their ideals are fulfilled, there are no problems, only happiness.
But in fact, as long as there is an era in history, which era does not have its own problems? Which era does not have its own dilemmas?
But this is a well-known rule of the game. They need to boast of a utopia so that they can have the right to speak.
Mark’s ideal hometown is to ‘really live’. In fact, he can’t really explain what ‘really lives’ is. It seems that if you are sick, you can definitely be cured, you can be with your loved ones, etc., all of them meet the conditions.
But these things are exaggerated and difficult to achieve. Even if some terminal diseases cannot be cured, and there are people who cannot love, then don’t these people count as ‘really living’?
Duran thought that Mark and Charles were actually the same kind of people. Charles believed that God would only bless him and would not punish him, while Mark believed that only happiness was a real life, and pain was a false life.
They all have no dialectical thinking at all and are all one-sided.
"Unfortunately, it is not humans who have the final say in truly living. Humans are only a small part of the great nature, and nature will pose many problems to humans."
Mark acknowledged the cruelty of nature, but said: "Human beings cannot be afraid to move forward."
"Then here comes the question. If the price of human progress is to give up the body or emotions, would you like it? Or what if human beings have to go through the trolley problem and cannot all survive, but only part of them can survive, and the other part must be eliminated? What do you think?
Should humans still move forward?" Duran gave questions, one was the boat of Theseus and the other was the trolley problem.
The Ship of Theseus means that all the parts of the ship have been replaced. Is the ship still the same ship? The trolley problem is that there are people standing on both tracks. Now that the train is coming, we can only save one side and sacrifice the other. What?
manage?
Mark didn't know and said: "If you give up your body or emotions, is a person still a human being? You can only survive part of it, and you must sacrifice part of it. Is it really considered alive?"
Dulan thought to himself that Mark was a typical 'want and want'. His life was very smooth. He was protected by his sister and the city lord when he was a child. When he grew up, he became a captain and had beautiful girls chasing after him. It seemed that it was easy to get anything.
This resulted in him wanting more and not wanting to let go of anything.
In fact, the situation of many ordinary people is similar to that of City Lord Morgan. They only have so many resources at their hands and can only choose the most important things to do and give up on other things.
Mark also recalled the situation when he was opposed by everyone when he first made a decision. He thought very simply, everyone would work hard to find medicine for heart disease and save the city lord. But everyone considered the casualties and costs, and whether
worth.
Mark thought it was worth it, but others thought it wasn't. He didn't consider the negative impact it would have on the lighthouse if there were too many casualties. He just thought that the matter could be completed satisfactorily.
But how can things have the best of both worlds, wanting both and wanting both? Mark's life gave him the illusion that having both and wanting both is a very simple goal that can be achieved.
But Dulan told him that it is difficult to have both. Most of the time, you can't have both, and you can only choose one.
"Really living" also has a price. Yao, Shun and Yu, ancient Greece, heaven, the moon abroad, and even the era of great men, which one has no price? Which one can really achieve no buying and selling and no killing?
Mark is the protagonist, so luck can help him get through the difficulties. If ordinary people foolishly believe these deceptions, then they will pay the price.
"If you give up your body and emotions, why are you no longer a human being? If you kill other people in order to live, why don't you really live?" Duran asked: "When you finally need to make a choice, can you make up your mind?
What?"
"I don't know." Mark couldn't imagine what it would be like for humans to live in another form: "I don't know what humans should do in the future."
"Summer insects cannot talk about ice. Blind men touching elephants will lose sheep on the wrong road. There is a story before Tianzhu. It is said that in ancient times when there were no refrigerators, a woman living in the tropics had never seen ice. One day her cousin came back from the north.
Just as she described the shape of ice, telling her that ice is the solid state of water, saying that there is no intermediate state between water and ice, and that the temperature of water is as cold as the temperature of ice. The woman questioned everything her cousin said, thinking that her cousin's adventure
The story is just as unreasonable as the mythical god who breathes fire from his mouth, and is complete nonsense."
Mark was dumbfounded, suddenly feeling very uneducated and having no idea what the idiom Dulan meant, but he understood the story.
The woman had never seen ice, so she didn’t believe in ice and thought ice was a lie. But her cousin actually didn’t lie, there was indeed ice. Mark suddenly realized that their understanding of Mana’s ecology was also the same? With only a little knowledge,
But they think Mana ecology is evil.
Was the woman wrong? That's right. She just judged something she had never seen to be fake based on her own experience. After all, her cousin did not provide any evidence.
"It's easy to think that something you haven't seen is fake, but it's difficult to judge whether the other person really exists. I can't do it either. Maybe the best form of a person is to give up body and feelings, but I haven't seen it.
There is no evidence, so we can only deny this existence." Mark deeply felt his ignorance.
