Chapter 21: Arrogant Arrogance

The universe is so big, why did it take so long for human beings to find an alien civilization.

In the end, as it is written, everyone is hiding themselves, and those who did not hide themselves have been eliminated a long time ago, or because of something else.

In Takahashi's philosophy, he believed that the survival of civilization was itself a small probability event.

In the process of the development of civilization, there will be a lot of tests, and these tests themselves are a kind of big filter.

For the current stage, modern human civilization, what is most likely to be a large filter paper?

One is nuclear weapons, and the other is the things that can make people addicted and not go to work, that is, the things that are said to be harmonized.

The reason why nuclear weapons are filters is simply because the destructive power of this thing is so strong that it is even stronger than the zero threshold of human control.

Otherwise, in the event of a worldwide economic crisis in the absence of nuclear weapons, the crisis would have been resolved through a world war.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to wipe out all the people who might lose their jobs, and then the war created the demand for production.

If it is really in accordance with the objective laws of economics, it should be done, but with nuclear weapons it is different.

As a result, each family can only suppress its desire for war, and the resolution of the crisis has also fallen into a kind of delay.

It's not that people can solve problems better, but who can procrastinate more.

Because, as long as the big players who are qualified to come to the table fall one, the other families can be relieved for a while.

It is precisely because everyone knows the horror of nuclear weapons that they will restrain themselves.

As for the other filter paper, it is the so-called chemical that can make people addicted to both spirit and body.

You must know that human society has always been extremely fragile.

In ancient times, even in a relatively productive area like China, an adult male with strong labor could feed the population, and the output obtained from farming was only enough for 1.5 people to eat.

And if there are fewer children, they will be bullied by others, so if you want to have a labor force and be able to eat without being bullied, there is only one way.

Of course, those who can have children and find a daughter-in-law are no longer considered poor families.

You know, there is a saying in China since ancient times that it is called "poor for no more than three generations." ”

What does this phrase mean?

Could it be that you will be rich after three generations, this is a chicken soup sentence?

No, it's not.

On the contrary, those who are extremely poor cannot afford to marry a daughter-in-law, and even if they can marry a daughter-in-law, they are the kind of people who have defects in all aspects, and even if they have children, the probability of having problems is higher.

In the second generation, on the contrary, they can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law.

Well, there is not even the third generation, and of course there are no more than three generations of poverty.

It is precisely for this reason that almost anyone who can live in modern times, if they trace the source, will find that they are from a "big family".

It's not a glorious thing, it's just because the poor are dead.

Having said that, entering the industrial society, the use of large machines, as well as the corresponding industrial production of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, have greatly improved production efficiency.

It may only take one-tenth or even fewer of the people to farm the land to feed more people.

The division of labor in occupations is also more detailed and more fragmented.

Looks wonderful, isn't it.

But at this time, if there are some people who are addicted to that kind of chemical drug. Because the addiction is too big, it infringes on the cranial nerves, but there is no response to normal stimuli.

Such a person may have one that human society can afford.

But if it is not regulated, can there be only one person, or a hundred, or ten thousand?

If you look at China's modern history, even conservative estimates can reach 10 to 20 percent of the population.

Twenty percent of the people, who don't do anything every day, just lie there and swallow the clouds and spit, and when there are no clouds to swallow, they will pick up a knife and say that if they don't give him the clouds, he will cut you to death.

For such a person who has no productive capacity and can be incarnated as mentally ill at any time, if he makes offerings, how much can he nourish his qi.

You know, the division of labor in modern society is very detailed and complex.

Although the people who produce food are probably only one-tenth of all human beings.

However, in order to ensure the output of food, there are also chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and large machinery.

Chemical fertilizers and pesticides are involved in chemical production, and large machinery is involved in large machinery production.

In addition, the main raw material for making fertilizers and pesticides is petroleum, and diesel fuel is also needed for large machinery to operate.

In other words, the people who seem to produce food at most may be only one-tenth, but the people who actually produce food are certainly far more than one-tenth.

In such a case, there is a problem.

What kind of problem is it?

That is, how many idlers can be raised.

The collapse of human society is a matter of moments.

If anyone is allowed to use any kind of chemical, then the entire human civilization will also perish.

This is also the reason why the vast majority of modern countries strictly prohibit the private use of this chemical.

As for what Takahashi is doing now, Takahashi actually vaguely feels that this is also a filter paper for the filter of civilization.

The entertainment system based on video games has a great impact on the audience.

However, the difference with chemicals is that.

Although it can also be addictive, it can control the user on a regular basis.

Although the incentive policy is only to let players play at home and play with money.

But what if you convert the money into a different kind of task?

For example, if you want to get a card pack, you need to work, you need to farm, you need to produce machinery, you need to produce fertilizer.

Even real production can become a part of the game.

If so, is it good or bad?

Does this undermine production, or does it encourage it?

The original work was hard and boring.

And after entering the current situation, it can make boring games interesting.

Even if it's a very repetitive screw, there will be a bonus hint, so will these people prefer to make games?

Takahashi feels that there are two sides to any technology.

Nuclear equipment can be turned into nuclear weapons, and it can also be turned into nuclear power plants.

Chemicals can make people crazy and cure people.

So why can't this big video game be profitable?
