Chapter 399: Individual Differences
Sim? Baker had a data sheet in his hand on which the 10 volunteers involved in the primary evolution were tracking.
[Li Guocai: Volunteer No. 2, physical fitness...... Cerebrum...... Life...... ]
[…… ]
Looking at the tracking data of these 10 volunteers for three months, everything is under control, their physical condition and genes are very stable, and there is no degradation and mutation.
The data reflects the details of the volunteers, who had been successfully activated in 5.4% of their genes over the past three months.
Why is 5.4% of the dimorphism genes activated, and not other values, because these 5.4% of the dimorphism genes are Li Hanshen and Sim? Baker's calculations through billions of trillions of genetic simulations.
Activation of 5.4% of dimorphism genes is the most appropriate, safest, and mildest balance value.
If it is less than this value, the primary evolution effect of the dimorphism gene will be greatly reduced; If it exceeds 5.4%, the risk will rise sharply, although the effect may increase.
The Science and Technology Commission has carefully studied and analyzed the future of human evolution, and determined that the general route of brain strengthening and life extension is the mainstay, and the improvement of physical fitness is the auxiliary route, and safe evolution is the evolution that new human beings need.
If the risk is very high, for example, the Illuminati Divine Blood Elixir back then, it suddenly raised the level of life and physical fitness, but the mortality rate was as high as 40~50%.
Obviously, this is a semi-failed evolution plan, and the core of the enhanced theme is not placed on the brain, and the lizardmen who use the divine blood potion have only 2~3% of the evolution degree of the brain domain after successful evolution.
Compared with the primary evolution, the primary evolution can increase the degree of evolution of the human brain domain to 50~60%%, which is a qualitative process.
The intelligence of the 10 volunteers has improved very amazingly, even better than Li Hanshen and Sim? Baker's prediction is much stronger, and if they are paired with a biological computer, their intelligence will instantly reach the level of top scientists such as Huang Mingzhe and Fang Ge.
You must know that although the talents of the new humans are generally similar, there are differences in individual preferences, and the differences are sometimes obvious.
This situation is like adding points to a game, where each person's total point value is 100.
Some people are strong in thinking but not good at abstract thinking; Some people are all-encompassing, but they seem very mediocre; Some people don't have all the five tones in music, but they can be vivid in art.
The primary evolution does not balance this situation, but rather increases the overall value, which is equivalent to changing the total point value from 100 to 150.
Because the Science and Technology Commission has conducted research by all human beings, the vast majority of people agree that individual differences should be preserved, rather than individual uniformity.
In a healthy and good society, not all individuals are omniscient.
This is also reflected in religion, which is the difference between monotheism and polytheism, which is often reflected in: monotheism is xenophobic, extreme and conservative, while polytheism is tolerant, moderate and keeps pace with the times.
The new human beings have the supreme will, which is a collection of the wills of all mankind, and if all the individuals are in agreement, then the supreme will has no meaning to exist.
Because individual differences will bring about ideological pluralism, social pluralism, and evolutionary diversity, once individual genetic differences are eliminated, then human development will be completely stagnant.
Therefore, the Science and Technology Commission has launched a "customizable" primary evolution program, which aims to achieve human evolution while ensuring "individual differences".
One might wonder if this evolutionary scheme is against fairness and justice.
In fact, no civilization can find absolute fairness and justice, only relative fairness and justice.
This is also the meaning of the existence of the supreme will, so that individual differences and general fairness can achieve a state of relative balance.
In the seventy-seventh chapter of the Tao Te Ching, it is said: "The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency by losing more than it loses; The way of man is not, and the loss is not enough. ”
In the society of the new human race, the role of the supreme will is the way of heaven, and the individual is humanity, and the two cannot be out of balance.
Because the way of heaven is too absolute, it will lead to the decay of humanity, which will lead to the solidification of society and the stagnation of development (similar to the red?). Lucia's later social state).
If humanity is too strong, it will cause it difficult to balance the way of heaven, which will lead to social chaos and the law of the jungle (similar to the big capital society of the United States).
After learning the lessons of the Common Era, the new human beings have been fine-tuning the whole society, and on the premise of encouraging the differentiated development of individuals, they have made full use of the supreme will to achieve a rebalance of social resources.
Today, 31 years have passed since this new era, and the new human society with a population of 4.6 billion has curbed the birth and living environment of big capitalists.
The people's tycoons, who are worth hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions of billions, will not appear in this society.
According to the statistics of the Service Committee in recent years, the overall income level within the new human race can be divided into four intervals.
annual income of 50,000~200,000, accounting for 24.7%; Annual income of 200,000~1 million, accounting for 52.6%; Annual income of 1 million ~ 10 million, accounting for 22.3%; annual income of more than 10 million, accounting for 0.4%.
From here, it can be seen that the middle class and petty bourgeoisie account for 74.9% of society, while the low-income group only 24.7%, and those who can reach more than 1,000 incomes, only 0.4%.
Moreover, the high-income group of the new human race has an obvious characteristic, that is, scientists account for the vast majority, especially those scientists who hold a large number of patents.
For example, Huang Mingzhe, Fang Ge, Ma Zhili and others, they can rely on patents to achieve high income.
Overall, the new humanity has eradicated poverty and achieved relative equity in education and knowledge, ensuring the basic needs of everyone.
The consumption of high-income groups is different from that of low-income groups, mainly focusing on scientific research investment, culture and entertainment, travel, and customized services, and the difference between other aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation will not be too big.

"Sim."
Sim? Baker put down the file and turned his chair, "What's wrong?"
"Here's the next batch of volunteers." Li Hanshen shared a document from the past.
Sim? Baker flipped through and suddenly raised his head in surprise: "You're going to participate too?"
"There is no problem with the safety of primary evolution, and I plan to participate in it because I need wisdom." Li Hanshen's firm tone was marked with obvious eagerness.
Sim? Baker also has some excitement, judging from the observation data of 10 volunteers in the past few months, the brain will evolve after the primary evolution is completed.
The attraction of brain evolution is fatal to a scientist who longs to step into the door of truth.
Just Sim? Baker thought about it, but still suppressed the idea of participating in the second batch of experiments with Li Hanshen, after all, he and Li Hanshen are the project leaders, and one person must control the overall situation.
"I'll arrange everything, you can rest assured to participate in the experiment!"
Li Hanshen smiled and nodded: "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome."
"By the way, there's one more thing." Li Hanshen suddenly remembered one thing: "It's about experimental civilization." ”
Sim? Baker looked puzzled: "Experimental civilization?"
"The Science and Technology Commission intends to learn from the civilization of engineers and sow some experimental civilizations, and needs our assistance." Li Hanshen explained.
"I see, what do we need to prepare?"
"I'll take a few people over for two months, and I'll bother you to keep an eye on the work here."
Sim? Baker gestured with an OK.
