Chapter Eighty-Six: The Stirring Overture
"Steve? Stephen Hawking: The age of genes has arrived! ”
"Bruce? Lee: Let the disease become the dust of history! ”
"The New Evolutionary Law of Human Civilization - Fly Like a Bird!"
"Sensationalism liars, open-mouthed fanatics, villains who play prophets!"
"It's the wrong path, hope Bruce? Lee is lost! ”
"Today's Medicine: It is not possible to cure all diseases at present, please keep your senses and don't be gullible."
"The Great Debate - Is Genomics a Everything?"
Humans haven't learned to fly yet, but the speed at which messages are transmitted is definitely faster than flying. With the ratings of "The Ellen Show" exceeding 100 million on the same day, the explosive remarks of Li Jie and Steve also seemed to have wings and radiated to every corner of the planet. Treatable Breakthrough for ALS Disease and Steve? The heat of Hawking's opening to speak had just reached its peak, and Li Jie once again dropped an even more shocking news, forcibly making the development of the situation appear to be an order of magnitude explosive, and the attention skyrocketed.
This time, Li Jie is completely popular all over the world, and there are probably not many people who don't know him.
But this is not all good news, countless people who have long had opinions about him openly and secretly seem to jump out overnight, from artificial genome projects, human experimental modification, ALS treatment to the controllable theory of disease, all of them have been found out and repeatedly criticized, and ethics, medicine and life sciences have their own astonishing remarks. This is nothing, some people have begun to criticize Li Jie's sudden fame, and his growth, learning, and development process have been pulled out little by little, digging into the ground and picking thorns. It's like a public enemy of the academic world!
Coupled with those celebrities and academic authorities who have ulterior motives, use the topic to play, and hype themselves, it can be called a sensational debate show around the world! You sing and I appear, and more and more well-known or unknown people will be involved.
All the news media and websites are in a painful and happy phase, the number of searches, views, and clicks has skyrocketed, and all newspapers and magazines are involved in genetic experiments, disease control, life sciences, or blues? The topic of Lee's private life is being discussed. All of them are printed without exception, printed and reprinted!
And Li Jie, the initiator who stands at the top of this topic, has naturally become the most targeted target, and it is good to be called a shameless person, a plagiarist and a liar, and some people have begun to win attention regardless of insulting him.
It may sound strange, but it's a naked fact.
A person who claims to be able to eliminate the disease has become the target of most people. There are more critics than those who are grateful and impatient.
"Isn't it too radical? We can push slowly and show the results gradually, at least not as passively as we are now, as if everyone is on the opposite side of us overnight. ”
Tracer put a stack of newspapers and magazines on the table for everyone to pick up and flip through. Then he said in a faint tone of complaint and doubt.
Izaki Kiel and the others, who were sitting on the side, exchanged glances with each other, obviously sensing the subtle change in her attitude towards Li Jie. Even if these company executives have objections, they will only carefully put forward their opinions in a more tactful tone, and they will never dare to speak as dare to speak as Trist, and sure enough, the personal secretary is different.
Li Jie was clear about the small actions of these people, but he didn't bother to reprimand. He smiled and pulled out a sheet of the thick stack of newspapers, only to see a large photograph of himself speaking on the front page. The headline below reads:
A "genius" lost in the grades?
"I still look photogenic."
Seeing Trist's angry expression, he still said casually while reading the news: "There is no need to be so excited, aren't there still many media saying good things for us?" Patients who are truly desperate end up having no choice. Human habits have remained the same since ancient times. It has never changed. One year ahead is a genius, ten years ahead is a madman, and a hundred years ahead is heresy. Darwin's theory of evolution, Copernicus's heliocentrism, Einstein's cosmological constant, are there still few such things in history? ”
Trist really wanted to be sarcastic about him. You forgot about Bruno, who was burned for supporting heliocentrism. However, thinking of the high-level executives of the Corona Company sitting next to her, she still did not speak very measuredly. It's just that the face is definitely not too good-looking.
People are always like this, in a group. No matter if you are too prominent or too backward, you will be rejected by the majority, and what Li Jie is doing now is such a thing.
Senior Vice President David? Dreve put down the newspaper in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "Boss, your speech has attracted enough attention, and the incident has begun to ferment gradually, which will definitely cause unpredictable consequences. The most important thing to pay attention to is our opponents, especially those pharmaceutical companies, who will not watch us act indifferently, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble in the future. ”
He is a very realistic person, who will never spend energy worrying or regretting what has happened, but immediately enters the role, thinking about how to deal with it next and how to maximize his own interests.
Li Jie appreciated this very much, so he rarely tossed a cigar in encouragement, and then stood up.
"There will be trouble, in fact, looking at the other way around, the reaction of these media is a weather vane, and a lot of things can be seen. Peel aside the mess and you'll be able to see if there's a really powerful enemy. ”
The most common mistake people make is to think of everything too simply. When I was poor, I felt that all the problems I faced were because I had no money; When you fail, you think you're just out of luck; When it was in decline, the successful and the rich often had a class perspective.
But few people seriously think about the really deep-seated essential reasons.
The rise of a new force is inevitably accompanied by the hatred of vested interests, and whether or not the Corona Company promotes the news in a high-profile manner, it will always come. On the other hand, the slander and refutation of those haters are also raising the heat of the topic, but in fact, Li Jie's chosen research and development targets are all diseases that have no effective treatment in the first place.
No matter how public opinion guides, desperate dying people still have to try, especially after the emergence of successfully cured cases, this is unstoppable, the key is how to set off the storm and waves, and not let the big ship of the corona company capsize.
"These are just appetizers, and then the opposition from the ethical and religious circles is the bigger problem, and the big corporations that are going to go behind the knife. What we have to do is to cut them off. It is conceivable how much obstacle the approval and clinical trials of new drugs will encounter in the future, and even the possibility that public opinion will cause patients to cringe is not excluded. ”
Consider how loud the opposition from the ethical and scientific circles was when the experiment of human cloning was first proposed, and when human cloning did not enter the substantive stage, it converged into an extremely powerful "anti-cloning movement". Numerous scientific organizations have ostracized, criticized and attacked the initiators of the human cloning movement, regarded them as "deviants" in the scientific community, revoked their medical licenses, and mobilized their peers to encircle and suppress them.
Human genetic modification, which is more advanced than cloning experiments, is essentially the forcible construction of new indeterminate genes to replace the natural genes of human beings. When these people realize this problem and think more thoroughly, it will inevitably cause even greater waves. The scientific community, the ethical community, and the medical community, so many huge forces are gathered in one place, and they must rely on the foreshadowing that they have laid for a long time to play a role.
Of course, there are also those lurking kinds, and it is worth looking forward to how they will react.
A sneer tugged at the corner of Li Jie's mouth, these attacks seemed to be extremely vicious, but in fact, they were still far from touching the substance.
Let those who like to flutter a few more times, but they will soon find out that the world has already undergone a silent transformation, and it is not as good as they used to be.
The natural law of survival of the fittest is always applicable.
He picked up the white letterhead on the table, looked at it carefully, and the bright red mark on the seal instantly seemed to come to life, so rich that it was dazzling.
Agaros......
Li Jie's consciousness seems to be stretched in an instant, infinitely extended, traveling through countless memories, time and space, and going back to the world where boiling and dead silence coexist.
Kill and survive, strong and weak, lava and frost, light and heat and magnetic fields, and endless ...... Blood.
It seems that many of the same kind are already getting ready to move, so let this muddy water, which has been quiet for too long, start to stir. (To be continued)
