Chapter 574: Fifty Years
In this way, the 25th year of the human branch of the Brilliant Galaxy reaching the surface is another campaign year......
Because of a series of social benefits such as the "Early Retirement Act" and the "6-hour work system", a large number of people have reduced their working hours, their efficiency has declined, and the additional shelters have not been repaired, so the two forces have begun to quarrel with each other again, blaming each other for being responsible.
"Something happened, the large shelter hasn't been built yet!" γ
"It all came down fifteen years ago!" γ
However, some sociologists are surprised to find that the population is no longer too sensitive to the construction of additional shelters, and that the moral high ground is no longer as effective as it once was.
The two sides have been shouting slogans incessantly, attacking each other, fighting like chicken blood for decades, and the people's sense of moral guilt has slowly disappeared, and even become a little disgusted.
If all kinds of media are broken up every day, and the result is not completed for so many years, even if it is a great thing, it will always produce stronger and stronger rebellious emotions at the psychological level.
Humans are always good at forgetting creatures, and this extra shelter is of course the best to build, and if it really can't be repaired, half of it is not bad, at least it can barely live in people!
You can't always be morally kidnapped all day long, it's really embarrassing to watch!
This kind of ideological change at the social level has made many people with more conservative ideas feel very unhappy. They believe that human civilization seems to have undergone great changes.
In the 25th year after reaching the ground, the blue ideology has revived, forming a new third-party party!
Lin Yingdong is a representative of a third-party party, and he never imagined that he would completely change his thinking in just 25 years.
"What bullshit freedom!"
"If it goes on like this, it's just going to be a pile of living garbage!"
"A bunch of walking dead!"
He felt that if this miasma continued, the entire civilization would collapse!
However, only a few people can change their thinking, from luxury to frugality, from thrift to luxury, this third-party party, at best, only shouts slogans on the Internet, and has never been in power, nor has it won any seats.
They try to make their voices heard, and eventually they cry out until they are exhausted, but not too many people pay attention. Instead, they were accused of being ultra-radicals and reviled by the media.
Only then did Lin Yingdong understand that the general trend of the whole society had been reversed, and the opportunity was completely missed...... In the beginning, the backlash from society as a whole was violent, for example, the enactment of the six-hour work day bill, which sparked widespread social debate, but since then, the backlash has become weaker and weaker.
Because every partisan competition and various enacted bills have weakened the original social inertia. Man is a social animal, and if the whole society is changing, the thinking of the vast majority of people is also changing. This is the main reason why transcendents are so rare, and the vast majority of people do not have the ability to think alone.
Time has passed, and 30 years have passed......
In a competitive environment, these ruling parties have become significantly smarter, and in order to pursue the power that they can come to power, they have begun to take the initiative to grant more freedoms to the people. Otherwise, the other party will certainly enact an even more tempting bill and take the opportunity to remove him from power.
The two sides have been biting for so long and have felt the taste of power, and it is absolutely impossible for them to admit defeat to each other.
If you are not very satisfied with the six-hour work system, then simply change to a five-hour work system, and then simply change to a four-hour work system!
Everyone is satisfied with the four-hour work system!
It's impossible to become three hours, two hours, or just not work, right? In this way, it is a naked civilization of the sinkers, and the people dare not touch such a bottom line for the time being.
Since the working hours can no longer be reduced, there is always another place to please the people...... For example, education?
On this remote planet, two naΓ―ve political parties, without their own program, let alone their own ideas, are simply trying to curry favor with the people in order to gain power.
"They have spread the smoke of gunpowder on the students, reduced the study time, engaged in happy education, and so on. Students also have the right to vote when they grow up, and students know who is good to them! β
"Of course the children died of joy. Who wants to be in school all day long? It's not bad to be able to play for 2 extra hours a day! β
Immediately afterwards, the idea was hit in the most sensitive virtual world, which has always been strictly controlled, and it is easy to arouse the vigilance and disgust of the public.
So they are very clever and use the method of rubbing the edge to win the favor of the people.
ββ¦β¦ Increase the annual travel quota of the virtual world from 15 days a year to 20 days! β
Virtual world technology, there is an experience quota every year, you can play in different worlds, travel, or eat, ski, etc., there are many, many things that can be done, but the total amount of a year is only 15 days, and there is no more.
Now that it's up to 20 days, people certainly like it, and they won't be disgusted.
"Then it was raised to 25 days, 30 days......"
So what?
"And then it gradually opened up the higher permissions of the virtual world!"
In the original virtual world game, in order to prevent addiction, there were many things that could not be done in the real world, and could not be done. For example, flying in the air, or "Superman Mode", these can't be done, but now, it can finally be done!
This was followed by a lowering of the minimum standards for access to the virtual world...... Originally, it was aging to the limit, but now, the standard has been lowered! β
"Fifty years, only fifty years!"
Listening to the roar of the middle-aged man on the stage, Zhang Yuan's heart was beating in horror for a while, and he could already predict what would happen next.
He couldn't help but sigh softly.
How simple it is for a civilization to play itself to death!
And so, in the fiftieth year, two competing parties suddenly discovered that the government had lost its grip on the whole of civilization. People have begun to spontaneously pursue higher freedoms, and people no longer need the government. The so-called bullshit policy, is there any point? Does it need to be formulated by the government?
The reason for this is simple.
On the one hand, the virtual world is constantly opening up and seducing.
On the other hand, there has been a fundamental change in the social atmosphere.
An eight-hour workman has a much stronger self-discipline than a four-hour man. People who work eight hours will feel guilty if they take too long a break.
The 4-hour work system, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. every day, the entire work task is completed, followed by a lot of personal free time.
What do you do with all this free time?
Rest, recreation, of course, how many people can be used to improve themselves?
If a person with a 4-hour work day does not work for a long time, he will not feel guilty at all. Instead, he became more and more disgusted with work.
As a simple example, a student who has been playing crazy for a weekend will find that he or she is much more knowledgeable when he goes to school on Monday. Due to two days of crazy play, his concentration will become very unfocused, he will not be able to keep up with the class, and it will often take a long time to adjust to his normal state.
The same is true for the 4-hour workday, which reduces not just the working hours, but the individual status.
8-hour work system, yesterday's work and today's work are continuous, adjust more than ten minutes, you can quickly enter the working state.
With a 4-hour workday, people have to spend a lot of time adjusting to their state after a lot of entertainment. Sometimes I adjust and adjust, and find that half a day has passed, and then I get off work, but I haven't done anything, and it's time to rest......
So, what's the difference between working 4 hours and 0 hours?
Time passed day by day, and the so-called "4 hours of dedicated work, beyond the previous 8 hours", quickly became an empty phrase, and then evolved into everyone deserting during working hours, or simply absenteeism, and there was no important work to be done anyway.
Work becomes a superficial formality.
In this way, the social climate collapsed, and the two parties, who were busy blaming each other, did not know what was going on, and they slowly lost their ability to control society. As a result, the whole society evolved into an anarchic model, and in people's minds, anarchy is the most "free" state.
