Human cognition is limited, not only in the era of Mana ecology, but also in the old era.
In the era of Mana ecology, human beings may evolve into beings without bodies and emotions.
Just like all the human beings in "Neon Genesis Evangelion" have turned into orange juice, and their consciousnesses have all become one, this may be a better result. However, insisting on maintaining the original body and rejecting other people's minds is ignorant and backward, and hinders evolution.
Just like when the steam engine was improved, slavery still existed. But history has proven that the steam engine will eventually defeat slavery and become a brand new choice.
The slavery system also resisted and had its glory days. Because the steam engine was indeed difficult to use at the beginning, the efficiency of slaves was much faster than that of steam engines. But times have developed and technology has progressed. With the iterative development of steam engines, machines eventually surpassed slaves.
There are also electric lights. Before Edison improved the electric light, the life of the electric light was very short, far inferior to kerosene lamps and candles. The manufacturers of kerosene lamps and candles could also laugh at the funnyness of electric light. But with the continuous iterative development of electric light technology, the era of electric light
Finally arrived.
For another example, after the invention of movable type printing, block printing was still the mainstream. Until the invention of more powerful metal movable type printing, block printing was eventually eliminated.
When a new technology is invented, it is not easy to use and is even ridiculed by others. It requires continuous investment of funds, talents, and continuous updates and iterations before it finally surpasses the old technology.
When people use the convenience brought by mature technologies, they always laugh at immature new technologies, but they never think that the mature technologies they use were also ridiculed back then.
There is a saying when you really apply: Only after you climb this mountain will someone listen to your story.
If new technology cannot surpass old technology, people will not admit it and will only laugh at it. Only when new technology surpasses old technology will people listen to the story of new technology.
Sometimes the development of new technologies is simply unstoppable, and humans have no choice but to adapt.
Mana ecology is like this, and perhaps human evolution is also like this.
After Mark heard what Dulan said, he couldn't help but start to wonder if it was right for him to hate the Mana ecology so much? Maybe what he is doing now is hindering the evolution of mankind, and he is a sinner of mankind.
Mark looked at the scenery outside the lighthouse in silence, and fell into deep thought with Duran.
"Donnie, your thoughts are really profound." Mark said with emotion: "Then have you reached a conclusion? Is what we are doing right or wrong? Should human beings remain the same, or should we
The ecology of obedience to Mana has changed? What should we do?”
Human beings are so small. The earth has existed for at least 4 billion years, life has been born for at least 500 million years, dinosaurs have existed for at least 200 million years, and humans have only existed for a few million years. There are murals that are 50,000 years old, and there are texts.
The record is only three thousand years old. Human history is so short, and human cognition is so limited. It is impossible to predict the future, and does not know whether one's current behavior is right or wrong for the future.
"Don't worry, there will always be good people and bad people in this world. In this case, it doesn't matter if we are bad people." Duran said: "Good or bad will be judged by future generations. We just do things."
"You are really realistic." Mark was not so calm. If he did something wrong, he would be infamy for eternity. But he couldn't predict the future. No matter what he chose, it was only a 50-50 chance, and half of him might become a bad guy. It was a lot of pressure.
Dulan glanced at Mark and found that he was struggling. He thought that he had successfully made the protagonist have self-doubt, which was very good.
Mark is really entangled. He has always believed that what he did was the right thing and was beneficial to human survival, but it was his own opinion from beginning to end. But he is just a person, an ordinary person.
, he does not know the whole picture of the earth, nor the principles of Mana ecology, he is just a summer insect, laughing at those who have seen the ice.
Just because you have never seen ice does not mean that there is no ice. Ice does exist, but it is too small to see.
So is Mana ecology a force that helps human evolution? Is it just that humans are too small and only see part of it, so they think Mana ecology is the enemy? Maybe my own understanding is completely a misjudgment.
Only seeing part of it can easily lead to misjudgment.
For example, in many news photos, part of them is cut off, causing misunderstandings.
For example, a gun is pressed against a head, which seems to be a shooting scene. But looking at the panoramic photo, the gun and the head are actually misaligned. This is not a shooting, but a soldier delivering water to someone, and the head being pushed is drinking water.
No fear at all.
For example, if you see someone giving a middle finger, but if you look at the other person from another angle, he is actually not giving a middle finger, but making a v sign.
There is also a shot from the back of a migrant worker kneeling, but as long as you go around to the front, you will know that this is a migrant worker learning rescue knowledge. There is a dummy in front of him. He is kneeling to press the dummy and learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
There are too many local misjudgments, and even journalists will deliberately conceal the overall situation and use local information to fan the flames.
By only showing the part, concealing the whole, and creating information gaps. If you only look at the part, it will really make you confused. But when you look at the overall situation, you will know that this is actually a very ordinary thing, nothing special at all, and it cannot even be called a miracle.
news.
It can be said that there is no news, only news is made.
This also illustrates the danger of only understanding part of it.
But the problem is that it is too difficult to understand the overall situation. Human abilities are limited and it is impossible to understand the overall situation. There is no time machine that allows people to predict the future or go back to the past.
News is like paintings on the beach. As long as the tide comes, the seawater will flood the beach and clean up the paintings on the beach. The same is true for news. Once it happens, it is over and gone. Maybe only what remains is
A photo, no other evidence.
So whoever controls the photo has the right to speak. If the photo cannot completely restore the entire incident, then everyone can only speak from the picture. If the photo is intercepted again, then it will definitely be a big mistake to speak from the picture.
This can also be extended to the entire history.
History has already happened, just like a beach washed by the tide, the traces on the beach have disappeared. In the end, only words are left in history, and words are fragments of the lives of historical figures, which can be intercepted with ulterior motives.
It can be inferred from this that the history we see is all meaningless, all false, and carefully edited, so historical nihilism appears.
Right? Yes, history is definitely incomplete and distorted. The truth about historical figures may be completely opposite to history. A good person may be recorded as a bad person, and a bad person may be recorded as a good person.
For good people, only record the wrong things they did, not the good things. For bad people, only record the times when they were friendly and harmonious, not the things they committed crimes. There is no falsification, just partial records, so that you can confuse right and wrong.
But history is actually not empty. It is meaningless to argue about the authenticity of history. There must be a large number of partial records in history, and the original appearance cannot be restored. But history is still very important. Historical events are not complete, but why do people who record history record it in this way?
, but very important.
This is what the so-called micro-statement means. History is too short to understand the whole picture, but why is it recorded in this way and what is the purpose of such recording? This can be analyzed.
Who writes history? What is the class position of these people? You can see from the recorded history what they support and what they oppose. Further think about why they support and why they oppose. From the class of the historical recorders, extend to what they support.
classes and opposing classes, and the general trend of history is revealed.
Through the incomplete history, we can think about the position of the historical recorders and deduce the ideological struggle that took place at that time. This must be what really happened in history and cannot be faked.
For example, Confucian classics and Mohist's "Fei Ru", non-Confucianism is to criticize Confucianism. The sages Yao, Shun and Yu in "Historical Records" and the mortals Yao, Shun and Yu in "Bamboo Chronicles"...
These confrontations have indeed existed in history, and they are the main line of historical trends.
