Chapter 202 Sociology
David said, "We'll have time to discuss this later, let's go home first, Lulu has prepared a villa for the two of us." ”
Dinner that day, at 5 p.m. ET.
At Lulu's invitation, David goes to Lulu's house, not far from his villa, and joins Martin for dinner.
Muma has no interest in this kind of teacher-student gathering, and after obtaining Lulu's approval, under the surveillance of two small drones, he walks alone to the living biology research and exhibition base to visit his compatriots from the various tribes of Senka.
In Lulu's restaurant, David wears a new green digital camouflage helmet for marmosets and sits on a marmoset chair on a table with a small wooden table in front of him.
Martin and Lulu sat on opposite sides of the table.
David picked up a small fork that fit his hand, forked a small piece of finger fruit salad on a small white porcelain plate placed on the "table", put it in his mouth, and said, "The three of us haven't eaten together like this for a long time." ”
Lulu said: "If you count it in time, it should be more than 20 years. ”
Martin said: "It's been so long, so time does fly by so fast." ”
David said: "When we first met, you two were still young undergraduates, but now you can actually take charge of yourself." ”
Lulu said, "Teacher, you can't talk like that... It's uncomfortable. ”
Martin said: "Teacher, you told us a long, long time ago that we are not even dust for the entire universe, so what are we in the entire history of human reproduction. So many things have happened between us, it is in this big historical background, no one can stop it, I hope the teacher can forgive the students for their unfilial piety. ”
David said, "I know that you were forced into the thief ship by Joseph, and then you have now become the helmsman by chance, but the rest of the ship has long since allowed you to sail the ship back. ”
Lulu said, "If only you knew what we're up to. ”
David said: "I can also guess what you want to do in the future, divide this planet, and then find a way to divide the entire universe, right?" ”
Lulu said: "It can't be said that it is divided, at least, our current political structure is still relatively democratic, the so-called slave society is relative to the new clones, or new species, we still maintain the modern social structure of the original circle of friends, and there are major issues in the base, and even the entire advance army, which also need to be discussed democratically." This is much better than when Joseph was in power. ”
David said: "I was not going to be able to convince you, after all, from your standpoint, you are right to do so, but I still stand by my position and see you as a cancer in the future of mankind. ”
Martin said: "The teacher is serious, you look at the current earth, what the chaos has become, and I don't know how many people died in this world war. Then, if there is no Joseph, in the current environment of rapid development of science and technology and frequent contradictions in society, there will be another Joseph. Rather than that, we should be Joseph ourselves. ”
David said: "Our forefathers, Mr. Hawking, had foreseen this. I also thought before that the great progress of human science and technology could lead to the enslavement of the vast majority of people by a small number of people who control the means of production. Therefore, in the later stages of my life on earth, I shifted my main energy from scientific research to social science research, trying to find a good path for the development of human society, but to no avail, because we, as individuals, are too small for tens of billions of people. ”
Lulu said: "Back to reality, you see, Muma is a relatively simple child. ”
David said, "Well, it's not overly polluted by modern technology, but it's also learned some cunning from us." ”
Lulu said: "When she said goodbye to us just now, she said that she was going to visit Senka's compatriots, and Morito's life and death were not her concern, and she even asked me to order the massacre of Morito. ”
David said, "Yes, everyone is selfish, but to a different degree. ”
Lulu said, "So teacher, although you still disagree with our worldview and outlook on life, thank you for being able to empathize with me and Martin. ”
David said: "You don't have to defend yourself anymore, if you are the majority of the earthlings, standing in your current position, I don't think there are many people who dare to break the established rules, I am talking about your current rules, which may lead to death." Who is not afraid of death? I'm also afraid, otherwise I wouldn't have let Zoya put down a distress signal and return to this comfortable nest now. ”
Martin said, "I, then, have a proposal. ”
Lulu said, "You say." ”
"If Mr. David doesn't like what we're doing, in the future, if you can go to more habitable planets, then give one to Mr. David," Martin said. ”
David said, "No, I have no interest in being God. ”
"That's not what I meant, you can reproduce humans on your own planet and do some experiments on the structure of human society to find a path that suits the future of humanity," Martin said. Can't I say, in a few hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of years, the planet under your governance will be the most harmonious? ”
David glanced at Martin and said, "I didn't expect you to make such a great suggestion, I agree to do it, anyway, we can live countless lifetimes, if the universe doesn't disappear." During this period, in addition to doing scientific research and developing science and technology, the most important thing is to study the most suitable development path for human society. ”
Lulu looked up and thought for a while, and said, "I have also talked to Senior Brother Martin about the issue of social governance before, which is indeed a huge problem for those of us who have been in the laboratory for several lifetimes. Therefore, it is no wonder that some people say that the Academy of Sciences will be the cradle of future dictators, because we have mastered the core science and technology of mankind, and then we have mastered the powerful, or rather rich, resources, connections and even armed forces. And we scientists always like to simplify the problem, will not beat around the bush to deal with the crisis, and whoever is disobedient will directly use technology to deal with them, instead of using the system and morality to influence them. ”
Martin said: "Don't talk about scientists, this is the worst conversation of scientists, even if it is an ordinary person who has a dog, then, if the dog is disobedient, it will be solved by force, even if it is not forced, it will use its position as the owner to threaten, and will not tell the dog a lot of truth or something." ”
