Chapter 21: The True Darkness. A History of Cruelty (3)

"Don't say it, don't say it! Tell you to stop talking! Suew screamed.

What is the point of such a story? All of this could be fooling around, instantly. Just stop here, just listening to it makes me feel like I'm going crazy. ”

“…… I don't want to hear such stories either. Instantly licked his bloodless lips and stared intently at the white.

"What is our society made of? That's all I want to know. Do you hear that, there is no need to talk about anything else, just to explain the origin of our society. ”

"The Dark Age, which lasted for five hundred years, ended with the end of the slave dynasty. The Japanese archipelago and the mainland have completely cut off exchanges, and the dynasties that dominate the island have been eliminated due to the strict elimination system between eras, and finally the bloodline of those who can PK is extinct. Dynasties that had lost their center of gravity began to divide and the struggle resumed. Hunters, wandering in the mountains, attacked the villages of the slave dynasty without a king, and in order to resist the attack, the villages joined forces and the war grew. In just a few decades of war, the number of victims has far exceeded the total number of people who have been tortured and killed by PK in the past 500 years. At this time, in order to clean up this chaos, the successor of scientific civilization, who had been an observer of history, finally came forward. ”

Sure enough, that's the case. In the early season, a few people calmed down, and a warm current flowed through their chests. It is reassuring to know that they are not in the bloodline of the slave dynasty, nor are they the descendants of marauders. Rather, it is the last descendant of the rational man who has always guarded it.

“…… So, what is the next step in how our society will eventually emerge? That, the people of the slave dynasty and the hunters are not without mana...... PK yet? Where did those people go? He asked questions like a cannon, but the answer made his expectations disappointed.

"There is very little reliable literature about the history that has been there since that until now. Therefore, it is very regrettable that your question cannot be answered at this time. ”

"Why? Didn't the heirs of scientific civilization publish books all the time? Truth pouted.

"This was true in the Dark Ages. But in cleaning up the chaos and building a new social system, a new approach was adopted. All knowledge is seen as a double-edged sword, becoming an object that needs to be strictly managed, and most of the books are facing the fate of being burned. The Tsukuba branch of the National Diet Library, which is me, judged the situation to be an overall danger, and together with most of the other doppelgangers, decided to take refuge in Mt. Tsukuba for the time being. ”

The palean sense of time seems to treat hundreds of years as a moment.

After that, the outer shell of the library was consciously changed, mimicking it as a white with countless tentacles. In addition, he has developed a glowing skill that allows him to escape through hypnosis even if he is discovered by someone with mana. And ......"

"Not true. I'm not asking you that! Instant scolded.

"How has our society changed since then? No, it's not a change. Wasn't it the inheritor of scientific civilization that built today's society? If they were our ancestors, why didn't they fight each other like the kings and marauders of the slave dynasty, even though they had magical powers? ”

"That kind of thing...... "Akiji was about to say, "isn't that a matter of course!" But swallowed the words back.

It seemed like she understood, and she understood that it wasn't something to be taken for granted. If what this legendary narrator is telling is true, and if humanity really has a blood-stained history, that is to say, if human nature is as cruel and violent as tiger crab hunting, why is it that today's society is so exceptional to fighting?

"At the end of the prehistoric civilization, there was a deep understanding of the infinite possibilities of PK, and conversely, the destructive power that should be feared, so how to prevent attacks on people became the biggest unsolved problem. Various studies have been conducted in various fields such as psychology, sociology, and biology, but there is no information on what kind of strategy was adopted in the end. ”

"For example, what kind of method did you come up with?" I asked.

"The importance of education was first raised. From emotional education and mother-child relationships in early childhood, to moral and ethical education, and religious education for brainwashing, all educational methods have been thoroughly discussed. In the end, it was concluded that education, while extremely important, is not a panacea. No matter how perfect the education system is, it is impossible to completely isolate human aggression. ”

Although it is only a connection between the corresponding parts of each book, the tone of the pale tone seems to be proclaiming one's own beliefs.

"The next method of exploration is a psychological method. Anger management, spiritual exercises such as applied Zen, yoga or transcendental meditation have been studied, and even extreme techniques using psychotropic drugs. Although each has its own effect, it also shows that they are not a panacea. However, studies have shown that psychological testing and personality tests can identify children who may be causing problems almost 100% in advance. The results of this study are combined with the next important stage theory, the "Broken Apple Theory". The elimination of all children with risk factors became the mainstream after that. ”

There was a cold snap behind him. I don't want to think about it, but I have to think about it.

This is the reason for those deleted children, Yuan Tianhua sighed secretly, fortunately he entered this world and was directly arranged to be able to open the physique of the Blessing Spirit, otherwise...... A chill hit.

Could it be that this idea continues to this day? And Guiyuan is the same, and so is the whole person level...... In the early season, there were waves in my heart.

"But that's not enough to completely avoid the danger. Even the most ordinary and gentle citizens who have many friends and live a fulfilling social life will have moments of self-forgetfulness due to extreme anger. Research shows that 90% of the stress we feel is caused by others. If it only takes a moment of intense anger and hostility to cause the brains of the person in front of you to burst, then how can we maintain a stable social life? ”

The way of speaking is very ingenious, so that everyone can't refute it, so they can only listen carefully. Now that I think about it, this kind of speech may also be part of the self-defense technique of the white man.

"After the impasse in psychological methods, people introduced the use of psychotropic drugs to regulate the hormone balance in the brain, but this method immediately showed limitations, that is, it could not achieve long-term continuous dosing to everyone. The next thing to get attention is ethology. One of the most striking is the social structure of primates called bonobos. Bonobos were once called pygmy chimpanzees, but in contrast to the frequent attacks of chimpanzees, sometimes even to death, there is no such thing as a fight in a group of bonobos. ”

"Why?" Early season said at this time.

"Bonobos are relieved by a high degree of sexual contact when tension or stress rises between individuals. Not only adult males and females will have sex with each other, but also suspected sexual behaviors such as friction between same-sex or underage individuals. In this way, problems can be prevented before they occur, and order in the community can be maintained. Primate researchers and sociologists argue that the immediate task is to transform human society from a chimpanzee-like competitive society to a bonobos-type loving society. ”

"If you want to renovate, what should you do?"

"The book "Towards a Society of Love" proposes a three-stage proposal. In the first stage, physical contact becomes more frequent, shaking hands, hugging, and even kissing each other on the cheek. The second stage, from early childhood to adolescence, rewards not only heterosexual, but also homosexual contact. In other words, it is a habit to dissipate the troubles associated with others through suspected sexual acts with orgasms from an early age. Finally, there is the third stage, which is full sexual intercourse between adults. However, for this purpose, there must be a trustworthy means of contraception. ”

Several imps looked each other in the eye.

“…… So, wasn't that how people used to be? Truth asked, half-convinced.

"Because there is no information on the current situation, it is difficult to make comparisons. In prehistoric civilizations, there were various levels of taboo regarding physical contact, homosexuality was taboo or suppressed in many regions, and the same was true for outright sex. ”

Yuan Tianhua, early season, they and others have contact with others in various situations in their daily lives. Intimate communication between boys and girls, girls, boys, adults and adults, children and children, adults and children, and people is basically goodwill. However, the behavior that may lead to pregnancy is special and requires the permission of the Ethics Committee if certain conditions are met.

"However, even this is not foolproof. Computer simulations show that even societies in which these measures are implemented flawlessly will experience a shocking result of a total collapse within a decade. The reason is simple and straightforward, in a society where everyone has PK, each member is equivalent to having a nuclear button, and only one person going berserk will lead to the collapse of the entire society. ”

The content of what he said was still half-understood, but it still conveyed the fact that the situation it was talking about was very serious.

"Human behavior can be controlled to a considerable extent through education, psychology, and the production process of identifying defective products, and if you treat humans as primates and apply the knowledge of animal behavior, safety can be taken to the next level. But the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an anthill, and the same is true of human society. In order to achieve a final solution, it is necessary to recognise the essence of human beings as social mammals. ”

It is ironic that human beings have finally gained the power of God, but in order to control it, they do not hesitate to reduce themselves from humans to apes, and apes to ordinary mammals.
