Chapter 302 [Controversy at the Meeting]
End of May.
With the assistance of Leah, Gu Cheng has completed the development of the technical data of the "Strong Plant Memory" and passed the verification of the supercomputer, and now there is only one last step left, that is, to manufacture the strong plant equipment according to the technical data.
However, whether this technology can be successfully born is not only a question of the feasibility of the technology itself.
He Su received news from Gu Cheng and learned that there was a crucial matter that needed to be met and discussed, and arrived in Shangdu at noon today, along with a group of sociological research scholars and a few philosophers.
This time, Gu Cheng invited these people to discuss, not about technical issues, but about the impact of technology on society.
This is a highly confidential meeting, at 14:39 in the afternoon, in the conference room, Gu Cheng explained the technology of "strong memory" to He Su and other seven or eight people who attended the meeting.
“…… Strengthening memory, that is, strengthening knowledge, has been technically verified in theory and is completely feasible. ”
After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he looked at the others in the conference room, and all the senior sociological research scholars were stunned at the moment, and even He Su's face was occupied by a stunned expression.
In the conference room, you can hear a pin.
Because the description of Gu Cheng was too shocking.
"It's incredible, it's too shocking, and once it's implemented, it will bring about a complete subversion of the existing structural framework of human society, and this kind ......of unknown even makes people feel frightening," muttered a sociological researcher at the meeting, who still hasn't fully recovered from the shock.
At this time, one of the philosophers objected: "Strengthening memory can improve the advancement of the overall civilization of society at a very rapid speed in the short term, but in the long run it will do more harm than good, which will lead to the complete smoothing out of individual differences, and over time the whole world will become boring, like a pool of stagnant water, without vitality, too terrible." ”
Gu Cheng denied it when he heard it: "It's an exaggeration, seeking common ground while reserving small differences is originally a goal to be achieved, strong memory is not a forced thought, as long as the individual has independent thinking, there must be differences, everyone's hobbies are different, ideas are different, choices will not be different, accepting strong memories is not mandatory, but completely follows the results of individual voluntariness, and does not affect the diversity of individual ecology." ”
After a pause, Gu Cheng added: "Strengthening memory is not the main idea, but an auxiliary tool, so that people can master a technical knowledge better, faster and more efficiently, which is technology, not academic or art." Academics and art are based on thinking, research, and creation, and strong memory does not have this attribute. For example, if you want to become a doctor, then you should be trained in the knowledge of the medical profession; If he wants to become a computer engineer, he will accept the knowledge of the relevant profession, because this is the result he wants, and the strong memory will allow him to achieve this goal faster, better and more efficiently, and that's it. ”
"And if he wants to change careers, then learn other knowledge and skills, it does not mean that he has received the knowledge of the medical profession and will always be a doctor in this life."
Gu Cheng finished speaking, and after a while, a sociological researcher at the meeting spoke: "Mr. Gu, I don't agree with your view, this is a terrible technology, and the cultivation of memory is the same as the transmission of knowledge, so how can it not affect people's thoughts?" Each person's social status, his experience, and the knowledge he receives at different ages will have a huge and varying degree of influence on him, and because of this, everyone will form different thoughts. ”
"And now, Qiang Zhi Memory gives a large amount of knowledge to a person at the same time, if this person is just a five or six-year-old child, but let him accept the knowledge that should not be accepted at this age, then this knowledge will inevitably dominate the child's main thoughts, and affect his life, it will be a disaster, and it can be regarded as an alternative brainwashing method, especially if it falls into the hands of people with ulterior motives, it is an unimaginable catastrophe."
In fact, the real fear lies in this, the fear of being brainwashed by others.
This kind of method of grabbing from the baby will cause the entire human race to collectively lose its way and fall into a state of frenzy, often leading to the ultimate self-destruction.
This scene made the free-thinking scholars present feel creepy when they thought about it in this direction a little.
He Su, who attended the meeting, lowered her eyebrows slightly, she sat here not as an individual, but as an authority, and the meeting was heated and discussed, but she never said a word, and listened silently so far.
After a while, Gu Cheng said: "For the scene of minors, the brain can't bear the memory input, and if the forced implantation is forced, it will burn out the brain in layman's terms." Only an adult individual has the standard of safety and strengthening, then you have no worries, as long as you are an adult, he must have shaped a complete personality, sound thinking, independent thinking. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Cheng looked at one of the philosophers attending the meeting and said with a smile: "If you accept the strong cultivation of memory now, I don't think it will subvert the values you have established, because your personality, your thoughts, and your three views have already been shaped. ”
The sociologists and philosophers present did not refute Gu Cheng when he heard this, but they were still very dignified and full of worry.
At this time, a sociological research scholar couldn't help but look at He Su, who had never said a word, and said: "It is true that what Mr. Gu said is quite reasonable, but I still think that any technology is a double-edged sword, a very extreme double-edged sword, and the country must, must be cautious about the implementation of this technology." ”
……
At the end of the meeting, compared with the usual academic seminars, which often lasted more than one or two hours, the conference lasted for a short time, only about 40 minutes.
Gu Cheng watched several philosophers and sociological research scholars disperse one after another, but He Su still sat still, and when everyone else left, only the two of them plus Leah were left.
At this time, He Su tilted his head to look at Gu Cheng and asked, "The so-called 'strong memory' will really have a huge impact on children?" Is it really safe to only be planted in adults? ”
When Gu Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but look at her with a smile and asked, "Is this question of yours out of curiosity, or is it in your personal capacity, or on behalf of your superiors?" ”
He Su: "Both." ”
Gu Cheng retracted his gaze, nodded his head, and said after a while: "That's right, for a child who is still in the end of development, strong memory will cause great damage to his brain, ranging from dementia to cerebral palsy. ”
At this moment, He Su silently looked directly at Gu Cheng, who realized it very indifferently, and added: "Even if it is possible to safely plant memories for children, I will never agree, for people whose hearts are not yet mature, strong memory has a strong alternative brainwashing function, the original intention of developing this technology is to improve the scientific and technological literacy of the entire people, so as to better realize the 'Stars Project', rather than let it become a brainwashing tool, otherwise I would rather destroy this technology, even if it is' The Stars Project will eventually go bankrupt, the people are gone, and everything is meaningless. ”
When Gu Cheng said this, and with an extremely firm position, He Su suddenly felt a sense of relief, and rarely took the initiative to show a smile, looked at Gu Cheng and smiled: "Got it, then that's it, I should also leave." ”
He Su still adhered to a clean and neat style, and left the conference room after speaking.
"Master, Leah senses that she seems to have a much better opinion of you." Leah said as soon as He Su left.
Seeing that Gu Cheng smiled and didn't answer, Leah couldn't help but look at him and asked, "Master, why did you deceive her?" Leah had just retrieved the entire data system, and there were no side effects on people of any age who were able to plant their memories. ”
Hearing this, Gu Cheng turned his head to look at Leah and said with a smile: "The vast majority of existences in the world can uncover the truth through logical solutions, but there are some things that are unsolvable, few and objective, which is the biggest advantage of human beings and the most fundamental difference from AI." ”
