Chapter 1017: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

"Now, I am faced with the question, what criteria should I choose and nurture life based on? That's the core of how to do it, i.e., to find the right criteria, to find the right rings. ”

"The power of the gods is instinctive and empirical, chaotic and mixed, they have not distilled a complete body of knowledge, and I cannot judge by the standards of the gods."

"My instincts and experiences are not perfect, I am always learning and growing. I don't know as much about the grand subject of 'life direction' as I do for an ordinary evolutionary chemistry major in Bluestar World. Luckily, I've read some books and articles and still remember some of the theories. ”

"If I trust my instincts and experience, and choose by feeling and intuition, this is an instinctive decision, which is equivalent to choosing a large number of mistakes that I am not aware of, and abandoning all reason, knowledge, thinking, wisdom and ability, it is almost like a wild beast prey."

"My rational decision-making is against this instinctive decision."

"So, what will my sanity do?"

"My intellect will tell me that instead of making random choices, rather than relying on instinct and feeling, I should choose the theories of giants, the most fundamental theories known in the field or the emerging theories."

"If that's certain, then my choice is much clearer."

"The most fundamental theory of the direction of life is naturally the theory of evolution based on Darwin's theory and supplemented by Lamarck's theory."

"And the latest theory of life, which is undoubtedly complexity science, is not emerging at present, and it is bound to shine in the future."

"It's a pity that complexity science is too big and too many fields, but it has not been established for a long time, and there is still no unity. Fortunately, in addition to various hypotheses and conjectures in complexity science, there is also a relatively reliable theoretical foundation, that is, the dissipative structure theory proposed by Prigogin. ”

"So, my choice is clear again."

"In the test of 'direction of life,' I would like to choose between the theory of evolution and the theory of dissipative structure...... Choose them all! ”

"This is destined to be more correct than my random choice!"

"That's what it means to stand on the shoulders of giants."

"Using the giant's method and following the giant's mind, you can finally stand at the height of the giant and see a more real world. Then, incarnate as a giant and walk the earth. ”

"Then, based on the available information, and making a rational judgment, I should choose the species that best suits the theory of evolution and dissipative structure."

"Without a doubt, humans are the best option! Even if there are some races, the magic ability is even better than that of humans. ”

After Su Ye finished thinking, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the ball of life light.

"Human!"

The fish-shaped embryo in the ball of light changes rapidly, and finally grows into two human babies, a man and a woman, with the umbilical cords connected and sleeping with their eyes closed.

Su Ye smiled.

If you rely on instinct, you will choose human beings, but the choice of cause is more important than the choice of effect.

Because the reason chosen can determine countless outcomes, and one outcome can only determine one thing.

What's more, it involves the continuous selection that follows.

"I chose humans, so I had to follow the reasons for my choice, using the theory of evolution or the theory of dissipative structures."

"Next, I'm going to compare the two theories."

"On the surface, the theory of evolution only involves the evolution of individual species, but from another point of view, it is they who 'refine' some laws of nature, which are not only applicable to the evolution of species, but also to changes in life, culture and so on."

"The theory of dissipative structures, which at first was only a theory of thermodynamics and chemistry, but in reality, involves all the systems that human beings can perceive, whether it is life, science, philosophy, life, life, the universe, nature, or whatever. The flaw of this theory is that it only deals with matter and energy, but not with information. Therefore, when it is actually used, it is necessary to consider other theories related to self-organization and complexity science. ”

"In fact, the development of the theory of evolution is more sound, while many aspects of the theory of dissipative structure are not precise enough and need to be continuously improved."

"Since it is the direction of life, then, the initial ability of the human race should be based on the theory of evolution, and in the process of continuous practice, the system of the human race has become more and more complex, beyond the scope of the theory of evolution, and it has begun to develop human beings on the basis of the theory of dissipative structure."

Su Ye looked at the ball of ability light.

If you just choose by instinct, you don't know what ability to choose for human beings.

Since it is selected according to the theory of evolution, the ability to be enhanced is about to emerge.

Su Ye stretched out his hand and touched a ball of ability light, and said, "Enhance the ability to adapt to the environment." ”

Natural selection is one of the foundations of evolutionary theory, and adaptation to natural selection is the basic ability of life.

The ball of light trembled slightly, turned into light, and entered the ball of life light.

Su Ye touched the second ability light orb.

"The ability to enhance genetic variation."

Then, touch the third ability orb.

"Enhance the ability to use in and out."

This is Lamarck's main point, and while some of Lamarck's theories have been falsified, some findings prove that use does affect evolution.

All three orbs of light merge into the orb of life.

The ability to select, not only to determine the ability, but also to ensure that this ability is present in the species.

In fact, these three abilities are the basic abilities of all species.

This basic ability was of minimal initial use in the Land of Creation, but in the slow variant of time, the eventual effect was incredibly large.

The foundation determines the height.

Finally, Su Ye looked at the divine power light ball.

In the blink of his eyes, the divine power light ball erupted with messy light, and tens of thousands of divine thrones flashed in an instant.

Su Ye didn't expect that there were so many types of divine rights in the infinite plane.

Some theocracies may seem useless or even insignificant, but they are an integral part of the composition of the world.

For example, the river theocracy is of little use to individual gods, but without the river, the form of the living world would inevitably be even worse.

"Since you choose the power of the foundation, then choose to the end!"

Su Ye directly removed the divine power of all natural forces, such as the sky, thunder and lightning, storms, etc., these forces were very strong in the early stage, but they would become weaker and weaker in the later stage, which was also the fundamental reason for the weakening of the gods of the past dynasties.

When the magician is able to control nature, the power of the relevant theocracy will inevitably decrease.

Then, remove some non-fundamental theocracies, such as art, combat, and so on.

In the end, Su Ye began to use the method of elimination, and even transformed the theocratic choice into another question: if the human race was about to become extinct and he could only choose three kinds of theocracy, what would he choose?

After careful consideration, Su Ye chose the theocracy of survival and evolution, and then chose the theocracy of order.

In the infinite plane, there is only the theracy of order, and there is no theracy of disorder or chaos, because disorder and chaos themselves are also a kind of order.

The orderliness in everyone's mind is different, and the orderliness of different species is also different.

For example, rats live in dark corners and eat garbage, which is a huge disorder for humans, but for rats, it is a kind of order of survival, and from a higher point of view, it belongs to order.

Only the wisdom that accommodates both order and disorder can we understand what order is, otherwise, we can only understand control, fixation and restraint.

Su Ye looked at the three theocratic powers of survival, evolution, and order, and fell into deep thought.

These three theocratic forces have obvious intersections, complement each other, and do not conflict.

Sufficient survivability leads to better evolution.

For example, human beings can only complete faster and higher evolution by reproducing and reproducing in large quantities, and the miracle of life that emerges on a large scale is incredible.

In a society where the level of productivity and technology is insufficient, human control of the population will not do much harm, and it will even reduce the number of wars that arise from the struggle for living space. However, in an era of continuous progress in the productive forces, any act of controlling the population is slowing down development, self-defeating, and looking at new changes with the old eyes.

And if you evolve strong enough, you will inevitably be able to gain a stronger ability to survive, and compared with wild beasts, human beings with high evolution have exterminated too many beasts with low evolution.

As for order, it is to follow all the most basic laws, whether it is survival or evolution, it must follow a certain order.

But order often becomes a prison that limits humanity itself and the collective.

The older a person is, the more bound he is by old ideas, the more he thinks that his rings are right, and opposes all new things, and thinks that new things are not orderly, chaotic, and evil.

But in the eyes of young people, those so-called chaos are so beautiful and orderly.

History has proved that human beings have fallen into crises in a short period of time, but if we look at them on a macroscopic time scale, we will find that human beings have been growing and getting better all the time.

Those who criticize the low morality of human beings in the new era have never seen the reckless behavior of slave owners and feudal emperors.

Those who criticize the depravity of humanity in the new age do not see the murder of so many people in the past for a bite to eat, nor the large-scale acts of bandits and criminal soldiers.

Those who yearn for the simplicity of ancient times, if they really want to go back to ancient times, if they can endure the simple dwelling, insects and unpalatable food, they will most likely be beaten to death with a stick and become delicious food.

Life does not exist to deny the present and miss the nothingness of the past, but to have a better present and a better future.

Su Ye constantly sorted out the relevant concepts of life direction in his heart.

In the end, Su Ye made a choice.

"Since I want to pursue the ultimate principle of magic, is this process closer to survival, evolution, or order?"

"Obviously ......"

"You are in charge of survival, and the mage is in charge of evolution!"

Su Ye touched the divine power light ball, and the divine power light ball turned into an evolutionary divine power and entered his body.

Finally, Su Ye looked at the resource light ball.

The resource light sphere not only determines various materials, but also includes the choice of environment, which has a great impact on the ethnic group.
