Chapter 58: The New World

"Hey... Although we survived, the road ahead will only get harder. I can only try to buy as much time as possible with the countries to pay off the huge amount of arrears. The king of Isis sighed helplessly

"All right, my beloved majesty. Don't worry too much. The 10 percent of our depreciation has already reduced some of our debt, and I have prepared a series of proposals to revive the economy. It's just that before I say them, I have to come to a consensus with you about people. Earl Kidd said slowly

"Human consensus? What do you mean? The king asked, puzzled

"That's right! It's people! And some people who seem to be of little use right now. Kidd replied with a smile

In the next three hours. Earl Kidd patiently introduced the king to the theory of weak evolution, which Mack had just invented. He evolved from the earliest orangutan who was not good at climbing trees to learn to walk upright, thus inadvertently freeing his hands. And then the Homo sapiens, who can't hunt, was lucky enough to pick up the seeds of the mutation and learned to farm, and finally for the first time, everyone could live a full life. Then there was the age of vast empires fought by nomads who could not farm and think tanks squeezed out by wealthy agricultural civilizations, with war horses and iron arrowheads. Then came the industrial age when a group of handless craftsmen invented guns and pulled down the originally supreme imperial power and the powerful knights around them. Finally, a group of glasses otaku who are not good at words bring the world into today's highly developed informatization and intelligence through a small binary computer. They soon came to a consensus that in history, these ordinary, ordinary, and even disadvantaged people are equivalent to supercomputers in the cloud computing network in human society. (Because the way or concept of the next iteration may have nothing to do with the current state-of-the-art pattern, or even the opposite)

"With the continuous development of science and technology, unmanned supermarkets, unmanned banks, and robot maids will sooner or later replace most of the current human jobs. This is an irreversible trend, so the question is not if it will come, but when. But only a deep understanding of the role of ordinary people can reveal that the people we thought were useless are the greatest wealth in our hands that can tide over the difficulties. In short, the next new world we are ushering in is an era in which people can make better use of these 'super CPUs' to ask good questions and hand them over to machines to calculate and execute, rather than the era in which most people now think that machines will eliminate ordinary people. With this logic, the most important thing we should do now is to hand over the identified problems and difficulties to the machine, and create conditions for more people with infinite creativity to ask more impossible problems under the premise of living with dignity, and jointly dismantle and resolve these problems. This will greatly stimulate the enthusiasm and activity of the broad masses of the people. This is one of the solutions that can truly solve the problem that today's machines continue to replace humans, and indirectly make consumers disappear, thus making the whole society lose its vitality. Because one of the major causes of the current economic crisis is that the 'per capita consumption index' is getting lower and lower! (Total Expenditure of the Rich divided by Total Income of the Rich plus Total Expenditure of the Poor divided by Total Income of the Poor, and the sum of that divided by the Total Number of Persons)," Kidd said matter-of-factly

"I can find a place to provide fertile soil to test your bold ideas first. When the effect is visible, we will promote it to the whole country. Hopefully, this is a panacea that will lead us out of this predicament. The king looked at Kidd and said

"We didn't need a good place, but I fell in love with the so-called 'ghost town' (one of the newly built cities in the country of Islam was uninhabited due to rapid expansion and bank loans). Because the possibility requires the accumulation of time and space, like an engine - without space it explodes, with the cylinder, the ancient oil can have a wonderful chemical reaction with the air to generate heat energy and convert it into a steady stream of power! And one of the cylinders refers to the right to use this vacated 'ghost town'. Your Majesty, please let the villain make a bold prediction here, who can first enter this new model of equal distribution of agriculture, commerce, industry, benevolence, and the four industries, and who will be the leader of the next era! Earl Kidd said in Mike's tone

"Renye?" The king asked, puzzled

"Now the word 'benevolence' is as unfamiliar as the word 'work' at the beginning of the industrial age. However, I firmly believe that following the route of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, human beings must go from having enough to eat (agriculture) to being well clothed and living (industry and commerce) to the goal of realizing their self-worth (benevolence). Just as business is centered on commodities and gathers everyone to compete for whose products are better, 'Renye' is centered on people's possibilities, gathering everyone to compete for who has more possibilities (i.e., social contribution value or honor value) under the carrier of fair competition. Different from the previous competition mode based on the purpose of only selecting the first candidate, 'Renye' aims to reward more participants, and provides time and space for development and qualitative change for every possibility. It is not a charity for nothing, nor is it a commercial one that will become famous. It's somewhere in between—the competition is not as brutal as business, but the benefits are limited to a dignified or petty bourgeois standard of living (like wages). Don't underestimate this buffer! It is the compensatory effect of the above two extremes that provides space for the vast majority of ordinary people or consumers to survive, and at the same time reserves reserve time for infinite possibilities. Of course, all of this can only be achieved on the basis of the government's vigorous efforts to crack down on corruption, black-box operations, and establish a fair, just and transparent competition platform. ”

"Your Majesty, the more I listen to what you are discussing, the more confused I become...", said the personal assistant who came to pour tea

"Haha, for example, it's like a little boy playing from the beginning of the 'Stone Age' to 'Happy Farm', and then to 'Age of Empires', 'SimCity', and 'Monopoly', and when these are all cleared, it should be upgraded to a fair PK game LOL with unlimited lives." The king turned to Kidd

"Although these new terms of yours sound refreshing at first glance, they are all theoretical, a bit false. How do you put it into practice? The king asked, frowning

Kidd looked at the departing back of the confused auxiliary minister, took a sip of water, and said, "The specific content is too complicated, I need to sort it out again before I can report to you, Your Majesty." (Actually, he was going back to discuss with Mike again)

Next, the King, Kidd, and Mike behind Kidd talked for seven days and seven nights about the new development plan. The king stood up, stretched hard, and tried to go out. Kidd said, "My Majesty, maybe when you enact these measures, many people will laugh at us for spending so much effort and money to help some people who are not very good to build such a big and unprofitable platform. What I'm trying to say is that, yes, we are as stupid as those who persuaded slave owners to free their slaves unconditionally and to acquiesce to the same rights as themselves; It's as stupid as talking to a bunch of soldiers with weapons about how to govern the country with a piece of law written on paper; It's as stupid as a couple of bespectacled boys told you less than thirty years ago that everyone would be doing business with unmasked people on a place called the World Wide Web. But when we 'cocooned ourselves' and soared in the blue sky, they only had to look stupidly. You say, is this a fool's luck? ”

"I see, you are called more mentally retarded, hahaha! Okay, I'm not going to talk to you. I want to quickly recruit senior competition organizers at home and abroad as think tanks, so that they can refine the abilities and knowledge needed in the fields of science and technology, culture, military industry, and history into projects that can be sustained on a monthly basis as soon as possible. So the king went out of the house
