Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief, if No. 9 was really crazy enough to suppress all instincts, wouldn't it have completely become an emotionless machine? Lu Ze shuddered when he thought about that scene. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"But." Nine went on to talk about her philosophy, "Whether instinct is positive or negative also needs to be seen with a dialectical eye. ”

"For example, if I have a physical body now, if I don't have an appetite, it's hard to stay healthy, and I might even starve to death, so appetite is a positive instinct for me. But even for a person with a physical body, appetite is not always positive. Imagine that a person has obtained enough energy from food, but is still not satisfied, and continues to eat more food under the temptation of food, and as a result, he becomes obese and suffers from various diseases. This situation must have been common a hundred years ago, right? ”

"Hmm." Lu Ze nodded.

Not to mention, Zhang Tianle is actually an obvious example, if he hadn't eaten more food than his body needed, he wouldn't have been able to gain so much weight.

However, Zhang Tianle's ultimate goal is to continuously improve his happiness and become the happiest person in the world, and he eats food not only because of the instinct of appetite, but also because of the pursuit of dreams.

Otherwise, just to satisfy his appetite, how could Zhang Tianle go on a hunger strike for three days in order to taste Tianhuo's delicacies?

Obviously, this has risen from the id to the superego, and it cannot be generalized.

What's more, No. 9 thinks that obesity is not good, in Zhang Tianle's eyes, fat is a symbol of happiness, Zhang Tianle's second consciousness Zhang Xingfu can change his appearance as he wants, but he still chooses to retain his original appearance, even fatter than Zhang Tianle.

In this regard, Lu Ze can only sigh with emotion, it is really strange.

Of course, Zhang Tianle will not reduce his sense of happiness because of obesity, and he also benefits from the development of medical technology in this era. Although he is very fat, he does not have to worry about changing to various diseases caused by obesity.

Nine said: "Even, there will be people who eat some delicious but harmful foods in order to satisfy their appetite. Is appetite still positive at this time? ”

"Makes sense." Lu Ze agreed.

In this day and age, even if someone eats a large amount of carcinogens, it is not a big problem, because cancer has been completely conquered earlier. But a hundred years ago, all kinds of junk food were popular, and many people knew that it was harmful and could not control themselves under the influence of appetite.

"So, if I upload my consciousness and become a transcendent, then I will suppress these instincts in the first place." Road Nine.

Lu Ze's heart that had just relaxed suddenly rose again.

Nine continued: "The transcendents don't feel hungry, they don't starve to death, and even the rules of the Star Spirit Network also use eating and drinking Lazar as a punishment for the transcendent who violates the rules, why do people still have to keep their appetite after uploading their consciousness?" ”

Lu Ze said: "Although the transcendent will not starve to death, and the appetite instinct will no longer have a positive effect, the transcendent does not need to worry about the harm of overeating to the body, and the negative effect you mentioned does not exist anymore." What's more, the transcendent doesn't have to eat three meals a day. ”

Lu Ze suddenly thought of Lu Li.

Lu Li is a transcendent, even if he doesn't eat, he won't feel hungry, let alone starve to death, but whenever he tastes food in reality, Lu Li always asks him to share his sense of taste, so as to taste the taste of food with him.

Lu Ze imagined what it would be like if Lu Li had no appetite. When he was eating, Lu Li looked at him expressionlessly in front of him, as if he was eating, because the rice would have turned into in his stomach, and it was normal to think like this...... How can it be normal! Isn't that?

However, it is a little strange to think about it carefully, because as far as he knows, Lu Li has never eaten anything in the virtual world by himself except for sharing his five senses, and he is not interested in eating in the virtual world at all.

Nine said again: "What about the instinct of sex? Isn't it strange that transcendents have eternal life, do not need to reproduce at all, and can change the appearance and gender of their virtual bodies at will, but they are still interested in the affairs of men and women? ”

The expression on Lu Ze's face suddenly became strange, and he coughed, and then said: "Although I have said that no matter the form of life, as long as you accept human values, use human language as a way of thinking, and are willing to integrate into the human family, you are human beings." But eating and drinking men and women is the basic desire of human beings, if even these are gone, is it still human? ”

"I know that the vast majority of people, including you, are subconsciously influenced to be fearful of transcendent instincts, but fear is also an instinct." Nine pointed to the mental enhancement device on her head and said, "As long as the fear instinct is suppressed, then this will all be a matter of course." Confucius once said, I have never seen a virtuous person like a lustful person, which means that he has never seen a love of morality like a love for women, just as the so-called hero is sad about beauty, and there is no way to really solve this problem in the past. But now, as long as the instinct is controlled, everyone can become a saint with high morals. ”

Lu Ze sighed, if No. 9 was just a simple middle two disease or a madman, then it would be easy to do, the problem now is that No. 9 really suppressed her instincts as she said, and really became a saint with high morals, and her dream is to make everyone become the same saint. It's horrible.

"So what are you going to do next? Promote your mental enhancement device? Lu Ze asked.

Nine said, "No, in fact, the spiritual enhancement device is a failed work. I want to transcend the cage of instinct because most of the instinct belongs to the human subconscious and is not under human control. The original purpose of the mental enhancement device was also to allow people to control their instincts, but unfortunately it did not succeed, so they could only change from control to suppression. In fact, although I have been talking about suppressing instincts, transcending instincts is not suppressing or abandoning instincts, but letting instincts under your control. ”

"Oh? Can this be done? Lu Ze said curiously.

"Instinct belongs to the subconscious, and controlling instinct is equivalent to using your consciousness to control the subconscious, which is of course difficult for ordinary people, but for transcendents, it may not be impossible to do, but the premise is that transcendents can no longer be limited by virtual bodies."

"Human civilization is embarking on a road of transcendence, and now we have only taken the first step, which is a long road, but it can always reach the end."
