Chapter 52 The Direction of the Development of Life (1) Virgo aliens
In order to alleviate the suffering of being human, the Virgo aliens who have mastered genetically modified biotechnology have taken this as the direction of evolution.
The Virgo aliens are only female, and their next generation is genetically screened and genetically modified to eliminate individual residual diseases, enhance the quality of individual physical health, and minimize the appearance of diseases.
Through fertility technology, the embryos of the Virgo aliens are artificially conceived in an artificial womb, conceived and grown.
After birth, the Virgo alien children are raised by the society, raised and educated by social institutions, institutions and boarding schools, and when they grow up, they enter different jobs in the society to make the whole society function, while the old Virgo aliens will enter the old people's home to enjoy their old age when they are unable to take care of themselves.
They invented a drug with no side effects, and after taking it, the individual would get the ultimate pleasure, and they would no longer distinguish between men and women, and sexual sins would be eliminated; With the disappearance of the family, all men are created equal, and the occurrence of domestic violence and ethical tragedies has been prevented.
Without the heavy obligations and responsibilities of marriage, Virgo aliens can find a favorite life partner to live together, either single, or one-on-one couple, or even several like-minded lovers to live together.
Children conceived with their own DNA are brought out to play by the Virgo aliens who provide their genes during the boarding school holidays and enjoy a happy childhood.
By this time, the entire ecosystem of "love and sacrifice" had long since collapsed, leaving only agriculture and animal husbandry that provided food for the Virgo aliens, while the wild ecosystem was gone.
The living space of the Virgo aliens is a large space base, divided into living areas and food production areas, with areas for growing plants and meat blocks, and meat is cultivated from biological culture fluids, eliminating the pain of animal slaughter.
Animals that provide dairy and egg products in animal husbandry are treated humanely and live in a clean and beautiful environment, and they are painlessly destroyed humanely as they grow old enough to produce food.
In this world of Virgo aliens, because the diverse life forms in the "Love and Sacrifice" ecosystem have disappeared, the cycle has been greatly simplified, and only reincarnated as a Virgo alien in reincarnation, or reincarnated as food for Virgo aliens.
Choosing one of the two in this life as a human being and the next life as food has completely simplified the way of meeting in the "bond of love", and has been able to practice the way of life advocated by Buddhism of not killing or eating meat, ending the love between men and women, and abandoning the family, which greatly reduces the suffering of life, but the survival experience of the living body has become single.
But can "freedom from suffering" really lead to "happiness"? In the world of the Virgo aliens, love has been liberated, and if you are together, you will come and go, there is no painful mental journey born because of love, there is no tragic experience of sacrificing each other because of love, there is no marital responsibility and obligation due to love, the songs, novels, audio-visual and artworks that used to praise the love of men and women and the joy of family life have disappeared, and the emotional life has become flat, losing its ups and downs, diluting the joy of meeting and the sadness of separation, and the joy of life has also decreased.
The appearance of the artificial womb relieved the mother's fertility pain, and the profound maternal love was born because of the pain of childbirth, and when this pain disappeared, the emotional connection between the children and the mother was severed, and the deep emotion of being reborn as a mother gave birth to children was greatly cherished.
The disappearance of the family in the Virgo alien society, the loss of the happy childhood in the shadow of their parents, the loss of their happy childhood, the growth of social institutions, the growth of collectivization and homogeneity.
When they grow up, they also lose the ambition to fight for the improvement of the family economy and build a happy family life, the sweet burden of the family, and the joy of living with their husbands or wives, sons and daughters, and people's life goals become unmotivated, thin and poor.
The source of happiness of the alien life of the Virgo tribe has gradually disappeared due to the simplification and flattening of the survival experience, and although the pain of life has decreased, at the same time, the motivation and meaning of survival have been lost, the soul is empty, and the joy of life is also disappearing.
Each Virgo alien has a strong sense of self, and the amount of water consumed by the crops and meat cultivated and the animals raised is also huge, so the number of Virgo aliens is limited, coupled with the social structure of the Virgo aliens, without the love of men and women and the burden of family, individuals lose the goal of survival, so that they are addicted to taking drugs to get pleasure all day long, which eventually leads to the collapse of the social system.
When these "soul droplets" return to the "Sea of Soul Souls of the Stars", they can only share flat and predictable life experiences with each other, and the suffering of impermanence is reduced, but when everything is predictable, the surprises in life are also gone.
