Social progress and development are always accompanied by transformation and elimination.

This is also mentioned very clearly in You Gege's "Free Enlightenment", and on this basis, it is extended to predict some people or institutions that are being eliminated or about to be eliminated in the future.

This is also the core content of the last part of the second volume of Self-Consciousness.

Here, Zhuo Zhiwen's notes clearly summarize the objects that were eliminated by You Gege's prediction.

The first type of people who are being eliminated from society is the people who are far from the Internet.

Here you illustrate the importance of the Internet to human society as a whole, and assert that in the future, human beings will exist in two worlds at the same time, and everyone will have two identities.

One is the actual global ecological society, and the other is the network society created by human beings themselves.

And with the emergence of the network society, virtual polities, and even virtual states will be born, this concept is by no means absurd, but an unavoidable reality, even if the physical regimes of various countries deny it, virtual polities will still appear, and virtual states will still be born.

Moreover, they are by no means "playing houses" in an online game, but "countries" in the real sense that can interfere with the ecological society of the real earth.

The second type of person is the cultivator, which is what we usually call "farmers".

The concept of farmers will continue to be retained, but in the future, with the birth of intelligent machinery, the concept of smart cities will be realized, and there will be no longer the profession of "farmers" in the real society of human beings.

At this point, a city may only need two or three people, or even regulators from other departments to manage it, to meet the city's own food supply.

It's not a fantasy, but there are really regions that are already working on it.

The first thing that comes to Zhuo Zhiwen's mind here is China's professional farmers.

Although people are still working, if they want to make the transition to the future state of the Yougege conjecture as quickly as possible, China's approach is obviously faster and smoother.

The third type of person is the one who has low consciousness.

Here, You Gege elaborates on what she describes as "enlightenment."

If human society wants to progress, it is necessary to remove the vicious circle as much as possible and move towards overall harmony and stability.

At this time, the level of individual ideological consciousness becomes an indicator of the overall progress of society.

The self-interested social climate caused by the low desire brought about by the disparity between the rich and the poor cannot be reversed by the adoption of a single policy by a single political system at a voting assembly.

Rather, it requires society as a whole to be aware of the gravity of this vicious circle.

Here, although You Gege does not specify how to make everyone aware of the seriousness of this matter, she mentions that it is very important that social education returns to its true nature.

"De-commercialization and de-profitization of education, the nobilization of the identity of educators, and the familialization of education subjects" are important components of returning to the true face of education.

The significance of teachers to human civilization is very far-reaching.

This is what You Gege wrote in his book.

"If society as a whole sees education as a factory that feeds resources for society, then from the outset, this kind of education is a complete failure. Educators think that their work is no different from other people's work, they are all earning money, then this is the sadness of educators, and in the same way, the educated and their families think that they are being served, and education is just a kind of venture capital with no considerable returns, then this is the sadness of society. What is even more terrifying is not only the sadness of the two concepts, but the singularity of the identity of educators and the serious lack of family education. It has been said that the most terrible thing in this world is that people who have never received professional training suddenly become parents, a failed life, and despicable habits are all passed on in the family environment, and the family style of a family determines the role that the next generation plays in society, which is the beginning of a vicious circle. ”

Zhuo Zhiwen agrees with this.

Because she vaguely remembers a speech she heard at the graduation meeting, from her mentor.

At that time, the guru said a very small thing.

It is uncivilized behaviors such as littering and spitting on campus.

This kind of topic is really tired of hearing it for most people, but few people really realize the problem behind this small thing.

The tutor said: "When I was very young, my mother told me that littering and spitting is very impolite and uncivilized behavior, and I should be ashamed of it, so when I grew up, I was constrained by this shame in public, so I had today's self-discipline, but I found that many students do not have this kind of shame, they never think that littering and spitting, or even open defecation is anything to be ashamed of, especially when they see their own." Instead, he felt that it was the right thing to do, and I am ashamed of you, for you are like a bunch of orangutans that have just lost their hair, and there should be no shame for you to be unclothed, because you are what you are! ”

Before the speech was over, there was an uproar in the audience, with some applauding and some boosing.

At that time, Zhuo Zhiwen felt very relieved, because she also felt that "freedom" in a certain sense was just a "fig leaf" for some inferior behaviors.

Now when I look at You Gege's book, I suddenly find that the so-called trivial things are actually hidden behind social problems.

The result of the vicious circle is the loss of spiritual and moral education, the loss of authenticity, and then the materialization and instrumentalization of education will bring suffering to society.

Perhaps one here will question whether the rich will pay the price for this vicious cycle.

You Gege did not give an answer, but she denounced the adherents of "anti-intellectualism" by citing arguments similar to "anti-three seasons".

One of the sentences that impressed Zhuo Zhiwen the most was "Don't treat today's little effort as your own hard work, in fact, you are just lazy for too long and forget to think." ”

These words can be said to be very harsh.

Even when you read this, you have the urge to hit someone.

Because this book is not funny, and it doesn't make you feel very beneficial, it just tries again and again to provoke you, and makes you feel very ignorant and very unsuccessful.

But if you really give up watching it here, then your loss is too great.

At the beginning, Zhuo Zhiwen came to see it with a curious attitude, coupled with her own habits, so she didn't notice the changes in her personal emotions at all.

Before I knew it, it was two o'clock in the morning, but Zhuo Zhiwen didn't feel sleepy.

So she continued to look through "Self-Awareness" and her own notes, but before she knew it, she had forgotten that her original purpose in reading the book was to find "clues".

After talking about the three kinds of people, You Gege also predicted the three kinds of institutions as a whole.

Here, You Gege is really "bold" to the extreme.

The first thing she mentioned was that in the distant future, after humanity actually realizes interstellar voyages, or determines the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, and makes a third type of contact, the concept of "state" of humanity will be eliminated.

A community with a shared future is the main structure of mankind in the future.

Unlike some other conjectural writers, You Gege does not think that human beings will still be as "divided" and coveted each other as they are today in the era of star civilization, because she thinks that kind of thinking is backward and even ridiculous.

It's like a group of kids who have moved several large countries to the galaxy, and humanity is still in a state of self-amusement, and the struggle continues.

However, in Yougege's view, it is obviously not enough to describe scientific progress simply by quantitative changes causing qualitative changes, and many times, the bursts of science appear at a very unexpected point in time, and the revolution it brings is not expected through the existing foundation.

Just like the future humans she mentioned earlier, they live in two worlds.

With the gradual maturity of some technologies, there may be some people who no longer exist in human society, and they can completely turn themselves into online citizens through technologies such as "consciousness uploading". [PS: Similar to the number sequence world of humans in the Gaia Star Civilization period]

This conjecture was not the first to be put forward by You Gege, she just summarized it and further affirmed this possibility in detail.

And since our imagination is often in a limited state, humanoid aliens are nothing more than backward ideas.

So how can you be sure that Yougege's idea is correct?

Here, You Gege makes a rather bold assumption.

That is to borrow the story of "Turkey and Thanksgiving" to depict human beings themselves.

Human understanding of the world is a simplifying process, and many years ago, when we didn't know what the sun was, there were many legends that gave simplified explanations.

In the East, for example, in Chinese mythology, the sun is a bird, while in the West, for example, in Greek mythology, the sun is pulled by the sun god in a carriage and pulled through the sky.

It wasn't until much later, when the concept of science emerged, that human beings began to explore and discover, and made many impossible possibilities.

The sun finally has a concrete, real concept.

But compared to scientific explanations, it seems that a bird or a fireball pulled by the sun god on a carriage is more attractive.

So even in the age of science, when the first black hole photos were released, people were able to imagine that the black hole photos that were not too "clear" became all kinds of interesting things without considering the professional data.

So, in essence, human beings are no different from turkeys, both of them discover and recognize the existence of the world on the same basis.

Scientists of turkeys are also "great" because they are able to conclude which day there will be fresh food and water and realize that this is a pattern.

But in the eyes of humans, this law is a bit cruel...... Because turkeys don't know Thanksgiving.

So is the world we exist in total?

Or will the "black hole" we observe be different from the real black hole? Are we going to have a "Thanksgiving"?
