Chapter 146: The True End Has Not Been Reached
In his letters, Aydin wrote: "The long-term stagnation of the economy and science of the whole civilization has caused this cultural phenomenon...... The three things people care about the most are money, friends, and fan circle culture. β
"The ideology of the entire civilization is too loose, and the vast majority of people don't care about politics, and they don't care about the general trend of the whole world, let alone the distant Earth Age and the Golden Sun......"
"Far away gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, this is our time, a very big and small time."
Mr. Edin, the great man of the 33rd century of earth civilization, single-handedly maintained communication with the Earth Era, and every few years, he would send a letter of his own, and left his own sociological work - "Mediocre Civilization".
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan sighed softly.

Volume I, The Evolution of Civilization
Volume II, The Principle of the Mediocrity of Civilization
Volume III, Planetary Case Analysis
There are three volumes in total, a million words, and it took the great man a full forty years.
So heavy!
But even if the top of the entire earth's civilization is aware of this problem, what can it do? Most likely, they won't do anything, and this is already the most stable state. Just like the ultimate prophecy in the historiography of the new civilization, whether it is an individual or a civilization, the vast majority of civilizations cannot escape the ultimate fate.
In the vicissitudes of life, the old generation has passed away quietly, the new generation has become the mainstream of society, and all the edges and corners of the past have been slowly smoothed out.
Recalling that era, tens of millions of engineers and scientists dedicated their lives to it.
What people want is not only to break out of the earth, but also to break out of the solar system!
When the Earth Age set off, almost the entire civilization blessed it to the greatest extent......
But now, no one thinks like that. What's the point of rushing out of the solar system?
This feeling, like the cells of the human body, is constantly changing. However, when you pass that peak, you will inevitably fall into a period of decline.
The ideas of an old man and the thoughts of young people are necessarily different. Older people will abandon their old thoughts and think that their former selves are very naΓ―ve and ridiculous, and their way of dealing with things will be different from that of young people.
From a certain point of view, it is not necessary to regard civilization as a high-dimensional life form, and like human beings, when civilization is strong, if new offspring are not born, it is even more impossible to reach the later aging period.
What shocked Zhang Yuan was that a thousand years ago, someone foresaw today's ending!
In order to prevent this ending, the original earth civilization, without the understanding of the vast majority of people, exhausted all its strength and threw two seeds into the vast universe.
This is...... What wisdom!
He raised his head and looked at the bright lights in the distance: "Yes, the civilization of the earth may have ended, and we have just begun......"
β¦β¦
The long journey continued, and for the whole trip, only a third of the way had passed.
If Mr. Aydin unfortunately passes away one day, the spaceship will once again lose contact with the civilization of Earth, and I have to say, this is a very sad thing.
Even in the future, when someone thinks of these two spacecraft, they are often powerless, because sending the signal to such a distant place requires a very large amount of money, and ordinary people cannot afford to get up.
The era may not be able to breed the next great man similar to Aydin, and when the time comes, their spaceship will be completely forgotten by the earth civilization.
But this is also helpless.
In his spare time, Zhang Yuan will also try to think about many more in-depth things. It includes the current living conditions of the earth's civilization, and how to use the historiography of the new civilization to plan the overall direction of the entire civilization......
No one wants the new civilization to become exactly the same as the civilization of the earth in thousands of years - even if their group is long gone by then, and there is no end in sight, no one wants their descendants to step into the same outcome.
"If I Live in the Civilization of Earth" has become a very fashionable topic in the spaceship.
Debates of all kinds are happening all the time, and all sorts of "cyber thinkers" are making bold statements.
"The world needs a change of mind, and if I were president, I would try to start a revolution that would overturn the whole process......"
"Brother, the power of the president is given by class, do you think the power of the president is infinite? Ideological change also needs to be brewed by the times, but now it is like a pool of stagnant water, and many people even feel a little satisfied, how to brew. β
"Brother, don't overestimate yourself, you wouldn't do that, if you weren't in the spaceship and watching the fire, you wouldn't have that kind of thought at all. If you live in the solar system, you would think that this world is normal, that it is the way it is. People who have jumped out of the entire era, similar to Professor Adin, are very, very rare. β
"yes, not even Professor Aydin has the power to change the world. It's too hard. β
"Guys, listen to me, and think about it, and I'm surprised to find that this kind of life is actually quite good...... Really, I thought so. β
"I was born knowing what I wanted to do in the future, and then I just did it step by step, and I didn't need to think too much about things, I should rest and rest, and I should have fun."
Maybe sometimes I feel resentful, why my background is not good, but what can I do? As long as you get out of the circle and want to change to a bigger circle, but people don't want to see you and directly reject you, there is a high probability of failure.
In this case, even the capitalists have become a bit Buddha-like, and the various systems have been quite perfected, and the slightest ruthlessness of exploitation will have various guild constraints.
More than 1,000 years of scientific and technological development, not more than 100 years, the completed technology has long been completed, and it is only possible to invest a huge amount of money if it is not completed, and various patents have become a deep moat.
Even the capital predators did not dare to invest indiscriminately, for fear that if they made a mistake, they would fall from the high clouds and be swallowed by other capital. After falling out of the class, it is very difficult to go back......
After reading these interesting frequencies, Zhang Yuan typed a series of texts on the Internet: "Everyone, according to my understanding, this kind of society is still not the ultimate steady state. β
"Everyone found that no, the growth rate of the population has begun to decline slowly, and even the artificial womb technology coupled with robot raising will not be able to save this sluggish birth rate."
"The middle and lower classes feel that having one is enough, so why bother to let children suffer the same as themselves? Only the upper class, the more affluent families will have a little more. The upper class has more children, which will lead to the dispersion of wealth. β
"It is difficult to speculate on what will happen in the future with this rate of change, combined with a decrease in population growth rate, or even negative growth......"
"In the case of high life expectancy, the entire population structure changes extremely slowly, and it may take thousands of years for a series of changes to occur. When the time comes, we will wait and see, of course, we will not see it anymore. β
