Chapter 17: Throwing Yourself into Your Arms (3)
Zhai Yunxiao asked disdainfully: Do you learn from Noah's country? It's a joke, and all the wonders you said about Cloud 2.0 are gone all at once.
The fourth master said: It is said to be a reference, but also a kind of vigilance, warning his descendants not to develop in that direction, otherwise mankind will always be in dire straits.
Zhai Yunxiao said: But countless people's lifestyles have been confined by a few people in the world? Or is it controlled? Aren't they in dire straits?
The fourth master said: Experts tell us that history is always created by a small number of people, and science and technology are developed by elites, which is in line with the way formulated by the leaders of Yunxiao Company at that time.
Zhai Yunxiao thought about the sentence that history is always created by a few people, and science and technology are the development of elites, and said: This sentence seems to be reasonable, but are ordinary people all grass mustard? You can't ...... at will Zhai Yunxiao couldn't say the next words.
Of course, ordinary people are not grassy mustards, and we are not careless about human life. The fourth master took over: It is not so much that we have imprisoned human beings, but that we have given human beings a beautiful new world. As far as I know, Zhai Ye, you are very interested in history, of course you know that all human history is created by a small number of people, and the people who determine the direction of history and the characters recorded in the history books are all high-ranking and powerful people, where is there any ordinary people?
But what the school taught me was that history is created by the people, and Zhai Yunxiao retorted: Without thousands of people, how can there be labor? How can you be productive? Where is the power to promote social progress?
Good question, the fourth master replied confidently: If it is in the ancient society where the productive forces are underdeveloped, ordinary people are indeed an important driving force for the productive forces and a potential factor for social change, but in the historical account, they are all princes and generals, completely on the margins. In the era of brain networking, the informatization of human brain interconnection is a huge wealth, material production completely depends on mechanization, and manpower becomes history, in such a society, ordinary people who account for the vast majority of human beings are just a huge base, and the responsibility of determining the future development of human beings is handed over to our Yunxiao company.
Joke, Zhai Yunxiao was unconvinced by the arrogance of the fourth master: It is fair to say that the wisdom of a very small number of people is limited after all, and there are limitations to cognition, how can it determine the future and development of mankind, what is the difference between this and the society of the feudal dynasty, which is a closed door.
The fourth master also smiled indifferently: Zhai Ye, do you see that the technology in our world has not scared you to pee? After receiving Zhai Yunxiao's reluctant affirmative answer, he then asked: Then do you admit that the scientific and technological development of human beings is often the progress brought about by the flash of genius? After getting Zhai Yunxiao's affirmation again, he said: We must admit that not many people in the Zhai family have high IQ and scientific literacy, so after confinement of human beings in the clouds, we follow those who have superior IQs and are keen on science, especially those who have been cultivated since childhood, give them data parameters that are completely in line with reality, create a comfortable and comfortable research environment, and apply their research results in the real world. Give them real-world environments and let them contribute to the real world. Some of those who welcome you are scientists, including mathematicians, physicists, chemists, and other research scholars, as well as in other fields, such as sociologists, historians, writers, archaeologists, painters, film and other artists, etc., as long as there are insights, results, and creative achievements of civilization, they can be recorded in the sky and then transmitted to the real world. Paradigm revolutions are constantly being staged, and the singularity of human science and technology has finally arrived.
Zhai Yunxiao asked blankly: I have heard the singularity coming, but forgive me for reading less, the paradigm revolution is SEI revolutionizing SEI's life?
Okay, to popularize a scientific term that is the most powerful in the development of modern science and technology so far. The fourth master took a deep breath and seemed to be ready to make a tirade: the paradigm revolution refers to the scientific and technological revolution, but it is not a simple scientific progress, but a paradigm shift in science and technology. For example, the steam engine is a paradigm revolution from human power to machine power, but there is a limit to the power system of the steam engine, and human beings will never be able to rely on it to fly into the sky. It wasn't until the advent of the internal combustion engine that mankind had a revolutionary energy converter that allowed us to build airplanes and produce a series of technological innovations, which eventually led to the emergence of rockets that sent humans into space. However, no matter how many improvements someone made in the steam engine before, the quantitative change in energy could not become a qualitative change, so in the scientific revolution, it was a qualitative change that produced a quantitative change. Between the steam engine and the internal combustion engine, there is a complete new technology that brings greater impetus. From this point of view, on the surface, mankind's science and technology in the 21 st century is exploding, but it has entered a state of scientific and technological stagnation. For example, no matter how the car is updated, its power is still within the limit of the car, and it still does not fly into the sky; No matter how the phone changes its style, increases the pixels, CPU, and memory, or changes the bezel to bezel-less, its function has not changed substantially; Medical care has progressed, including smallpox, tuberculosis and organ transplants, but for decades it has not been possible to overcome cancer, AIDS and ALS. In the novel "The Three-Body Problem", no matter how large the number of human fleets and how complete the weapons are, they cannot resist a small drop of water in the appearance of a human, and there is a gap in science and technology that humans treat chimpanzees generally. As I mentioned earlier, the internal combustion engine, although it can send humans to the moon, mankind has never been able to find a new energy machine to break out of the solar system. All the progress is tinkering with the original foundation, and there is no qualitative leap again. If the paradigm does not change, there will be no technological revolution. In the face of the situation at that time, for more than 100 years, technology has progressed, but there has been no fundamental breakthrough in the paradigm revolution until now, and human science and technology are indeed in a period of stagnation, hitting the ceiling and entering the dead end of civilization.
Fortunately, human beings have finally invented the super-portable quantum algorithm, which has led to a paradigm revolution in human information transmission, and has indirectly led to a paradigm revolution in other fields.
Zhai Yunxiao understood, but he still asked in a confused state: I seem to know why Noah's combat effectiveness is so low, do you think that they refuse to have a spirit of heart, and without the guidance of a spirit of heart, their technology has been pressed under the ceiling, at most a little bit more advanced than the science and technology of the 21st century.
