Chapter 149

In fact, the existence of such a chain of contempt is unjustified. In Zhang Yuan's time, the function of biomimetic organs was inferior to that of human organs, but with the development of science and technology, biomimetic organs have long surpassed themselves.

"Mr. Yamamoto, what about the reproductive system?" Someone in the audience suddenly asked.

"Reproductive system? You can keep it or not...... Yamamoto said with a frown, "However, preserving the reproductive system will increase the complexity of the system, so I prefer not to keep it." Or, if you have to, make a bionic organ with only tactile functions. ”

"If you want to be happy, you can use bioelectric current to directly stimulate the brain to get the same sensations......"

The whole venue was in an uproar for a while, and in this way, wouldn't human beings become "brains in a jar"?

Except for the brain, it's all machinery, are humans still human? A little current to get the same feeling?

"Dr. Yamamoto, your philosophy seems too idealistic!"

"I don't agree!"

"This poses a serious ethical challenge to us!"

“…… What about the brain in the jar? Who can be sure that you are not living in a world of brain-in-a-vat right now? Professor Yamamoto retorted loudly, "Is it possible to change the true nature of human beings just by replacing them with higher machines?" ”

"What is the true nature of human beings?! Can you answer? Do your cells represent who you are? ”

But there are still not many people who can accept it.

Zhang Yuan faintly felt that the atmosphere in the whole venue seemed to be a little chaotic, the voices of discussion were getting louder and louder, and various opinions were emerging one after another.

Even though the benefits of this biomimetic transformation are obvious, the vast majority of people here still can't accept it.

It is even more difficult to accept than the social public maintenance system......

He quietly asked Academician Ding, who was sitting next to him, "Teacher, isn't there a better plan that everyone can generally accept?" ”

Academician Ding smiled faintly: "So...... What do you think? ”

Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still strengthened his belief: "I only obey the results of the calculation." If they are correct, then ...... Just execute it. This kind of debate is not nutritious at all. ”

"But for ordinary people, these two plans are too radical and may not be acceptable."

"A better way? Where could there be a better way? ”

Academician Ding said lightly: "What we want to do is to change the entire civilization from the root, and it is completely different from the root node. Only in this way can we take a crucial step out of mediocrity. ”

“…… You must know that the adoption of legal and moral reforms is absolutely unreliable. Our generation has witnessed the demise of the earth's civilization, and indeed has the impetus for reform. But shouting a loud ideal slogan can inspire for a while, but it can't inspire a lifetime. ”

"Because human nature is here, and since the birth of human beings, human nature has not changed in any way...... Human beings are self-interested creatures, with few exceptions. ”

"If you haven't experienced it, you won't have the corresponding beliefs. When our generation dies and future generations waste all our efforts, they will not have our faith and perseverance. ”

"There is no way for a great civilization to be built in one generation. The zee of the gentleman, the fifth and beheaded; The villain's Ze was also cut in the fifth generation. The civilization of the earth has declined, and the generations behind it will not feel it, and it is impossible to have that kind of driving force. ”

After being silent for a while, Academician Ding said: "So, the human being is still the same human being. Thousands of years later, our civilization has become the same civilization as the civilization of the earth. Zhang Yuan, do you accept this speculation? ”

Zhang Yuan was stunned, Professor Ding's speculation was very cold, and it didn't sound very comfortable.

But this speculation is indeed in line with normal logic.

The human beings on the Earth Age have witnessed the rise and weakening of the earth's civilization, and the pain and shock that the generations behind cannot understand.

If the first generation can't make significant changes, then the next generations are even less likely to make significant changes.

And it is indeed unrealistic to rely on things like morality to bind the people behind them, because morality itself is the product of the Nash equilibrium under the mutual game of human society. If some kind of "morality" is contrary to the interests of the majority, then humanity will not hesitate to abandon it.

Academician Ding continued: "But, Zhang Yuan, there are many things in the world, as long as we make a choice, there will be no way for future generations to make any changes!" Take, for example, a few points that were made at the meeting. ”

"If you think about it, there is a child who has no parents since birth, and the father's love and mother's love are all given to him by robots. And all the people around him don't have parents, and he takes it for granted, and that's how the world works. ”

"If a person lives in society, the people around him are all androids who have undergone relevant transformations. He'll think it's no big deal to do biomimicry surgery, and he's not going to stick to any bullshit pure human theory......"

Zhang Yuan sighed, yes, that's true.

Human beings are herd creatures. Conformity is not a phenomenon, but a part of human nature, and is the best choice based on human physiological characteristics.

However, are the transformed human beings still human beings? He was a little puzzled, too.

"So, what kind of human beings are human?"

Academician Ding smiled: "Is it based on genes?" Chimpanzees are 99% genetically similar to humans, so why aren't they human? There is also not much genetic difference between paramecium and humans. ”

"Genes will be screened due to the environment, and maybe tens of thousands of years later, human beings who are accustomed to living in space will have formed a reproductive isolation from us. Are they real human, or are we real human? ”

“…… Wisdom as the standard? Do people with congenital intellectual disabilities or Alzheimer's disease have to be expelled? You're so smart, someone stupider than you, aren't you a man anymore? ”

"Culture-based? If you live in medieval Europe, you will be burned alive if you say, 'The sun is the center of the universe,' and if you live in the Qing Dynasty, you have to tie your braids and kneel down when you see officials! Do you think these pedantic creatures are human? ”

"Nothing lasts forever, especially things like thoughts, which change the fastest."

"As long as you think you're human, then you're human."

Zhang Yuan understood what Academician Ding meant, and he sighed slightly.

Looking at the commotion around the crowd, what people are struggling with now may become very ridiculous for people in the future.

O human wisdom.

Is...... Immature.
