1083 on progress
"What are you thinking?"
Zhang Miao's gentle words pulled Lin Chi's thoughts back into the study room, Lin Chi looked at the bookshelves with a sense of age around him, and said casually: "You are still doing manual work here." β
Except for a welcome robot, there are no other robots in the quiet bookstore, and the work of sorting books and cleaning seems to be done by the hostess of the bookstore.
"Yes."
Zhang Miao smiled and glanced at a row of bookshelves, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently: "I think the book house is still so good, books can only be called books if they come into contact with people, and books that no one cares about are just waste paper." β
Speaking of this, she suddenly lowered her voice: "And, you must have seen it too, right?" I don't like those things......"
"I know what you're thinking." Lin Chi nodded.
INTERVIEWER Human technology is indeed advancing at a rapid pace, which can be described as changing with each passing day. People living in this era have enjoyed the convenience brought by scientific and technological progress.
But for some, technological progress has become a disaster, and Zhang Miao is clearly one of the victims.
If it weren't for the damn genetic diagnosis technology, maybe she would still be living a normal life, but the so-called "antisocial personality" label was put down in advance before she was sick, ruining the woman's life.
Treatment of antisocial personality disorder remains a medical challenge to this day. It is conceivable that Zhang Miao will live in the shadow of being watched for the rest of her life, and it is likely that she will not be able to form a normal family like others, and it is very likely that she will die alone when her family gives up on her.
"Sometimes I think it's better not to invent some technology. Take this genetic diagnosis, for example. Zhang Miao's voice was very soft, and she couldn't hear any signs of "anti-social" at all: "I don't know if there are other people like me, I just hope that this treatment method will not continue." β
As soon as she finished speaking, a female voice suddenly came out of Lin Chi's mobile phone speaker: "This is the necessary price for the progress of human society." β
"Who is this?" Zhang Miao was slightly surprised.
"Shut up for me." Lin Chi took out his mobile phone and adjusted it to mute, and then put it back in his pocket, although Frankenstein can easily be adjusted back, the meaning he wants to express is already obvious.
"I forgot to mention just now, it was a friend of mine, who was paralyzed in bed because she was sick, so she entrusted me to take her out and use her mobile phone to 'see the world'." Lin Chi said his usual excuse lightly, and added: "Sorry, I forgot to turn off her video just now......"
"It's okay, it's good to have one more person to talk to." Zhang Miao didn't seem to care at all, but asked curiously, "This friend of yours seems to be very decent." β
"She's a bit pedantic, indeed." Lin Chi agreed.
"I didn't." Frankenstein turned on his phone's speaker again.
"I'm sorry." Lin Chi said that he planned to turn off his mobile phone directly, but was stopped by Zhang Miao.
"I'd like to talk to your friends." The gentle woman whispered.
Lin Chi put his phone on the desktop, Zhang Miao looked at the green call icon projected above the screen, and said, "Hello, this lady." β
"Hello." Frankenstein said.
"You just said that this is the necessary price for the progress of human society, right?" Zhang Miao has no intention of being angry at all, and is still in a state of "tenderness like water".
However, seeing that she was still so gentle, Lin Chi felt a subtle sense of discomfort. I have to say that this woman's ability to bear it is too strong. Of course, it may also be because of the superb acting, but if it is acting, the next dialogue will be very dangerous......
"Remember to consider the other person's feelings, human conversations can't go straight to the point." Lin Chi covered his mouth and used his throat microphone to send a message to Frankenstein: "You will be beaten up for this way of talking." β
"I'm not going to get beaten." Frankenstein replied immediately.
"That's not the point, is it?"
Seeing Zhang Miao's confused gaze, Lin Chi pretended to cough, picked up the teacup and listened to the conversation between the two.
"Yes, that's what I said." Frankenstein answered Zhang Miao's question.
"Do you think that's right?" Zhang Miao blinked, a curious expression on her face.
"Every progress of humanity is accompanied by sacrifices, and this is the price that must be paid." Frankenstein speaks his mind.
- This guy is too upright......
Lin Chi covered his forehead and sighed, seeing his painful appearance, Zhang Miao laughed softly, turned to Lin Chi and asked, "I was telling just now, now I should also listen to your opinion, what do you think, guest?" β
"Do you want to hear the truth or lie?" Lin Chi looked at Zhang Miao's fair face through his fingers.
"Of course it's true." Zhang Miao said seriously.
"Please, then, tell anyone what I'm sayingβeven if you do." The corners of Lin Chi's mouth rose slightly, and he said his opinion smoothly:
"My views are completely opposite to those of my friends." He said.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Miao had not yet spoken, and Frankenstein had already questioned: "Do you think the progress of human science and technology should stagnate?" β
"That's not what I meant." Lin Chi put down the teacup, focused his eyes on the projection above the mobile phone screen, and said his thoughts to Frankenstein who was using his mobile phone to perceive the world:
"I think it is absolutely wrong to sacrifice the individual for the sake of the overall progress. Everyone has a choice, and ruining someone's life for such reasons is too arbitrary. β
Hearing his remarks, Zhang Miao covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes curled sweetly: "Your words sound more like antisocial personality disorder, are you really not being monitored?" β
"Maybe it's because I'm too lazy and they don't think I'm any threat." Lin Chi teased.
"You're really interesting." Zhang Miao narrowed her eyes at Lin Chi's gaze, and suddenly asked: "I can see that you are not lying, but the current society is indeed focused on the 'whole', do you want to become a revolutionary and rise up against this kind of behavior?" β
"Ha, no kidding." Lin Chi laughed out loud: "I'm not crazy. β
- No matter how crazy he is, he will not choose to change the whole society. To accomplish this kind of thing on your own is a complete pipe dream, and it is more realistic to pray to buy a lottery ticket and win.
"So what are you going to do? Surrender to the world like I do? Zhang Miao asked curiously.
After the other party's question, Lin Chi shook his head and said his attitude to the stranger who had just known him for less than an hour:
"I can't really change the world, but maybe...... You can change yourself. β
