Chapter 728: [Religion] and [Meme]

"What do you think of Buddhism, Taoism, and cross-religion...... What is the nature of these forces? ”

Faced with the question posed by Nishishin Rei.

After thinking about it, Gu Yunmei Yazi replied with some uncertainties:

"Religion plus some philosophical thoughts?"

The reason why she answered this way is because in the past earth, the so-called religions, except for those cults that did not enter the stream, most religions were actually more inclined to spread certain ideas, ideas, and philosophies...... It's a bit like a large philosophical academic organization, discussing human nature, society, civilization, and the future all day long......

Because, there, the so-called gods are essentially a group of ancient awakened people with good strength.

It's something that everyone knows.

Therefore, it is naturally difficult for purely religious ideas to gain a foothold on the earth.

The Awakened are scarce though.

But there's still a bunch of them all the time.

If you don't have something philosophical and focus on that inexplicable cult of personality, you're often dismissed as some kind of crazy mess.

Mystical powers?

Born noble?

…… What bullshit......

As a result, so-called religions in the original earth often evolved into the study of social, philosophical, and moral...... of large organizations.

Thereinto.

It also occupies an absolute advantage with the concept of persuading people to be good.

Relative to all sorts of radical things.

Intelligent life, especially intelligent life that likes group life, really still prefers gentler things.

At this moment, Nishijin quickly affirmed Gu Yunmei's previous words.

"That's pretty much it."

"And one of the most direct effects of both is to increase recognition."

"To increase an individual's identification with another individual's thoughts or existence."

"To put it simply, they are classifications, they are thoughts, they can classify different individuals, and they can be divided into all kinds of guys who can be allies."

"The more extreme religion can be regarded as a simple individual worship, but the essence of the matter has not changed, it still originates from a group of guys' identification with the thoughts and existence of another guy, but they are more extreme, and they already have a feeling of being brainwashed by each other, and they think that the other party is right, which is the case with the so-called fanatical believers."

Under normal circumstances, these ideas and fanatical beliefs, although they do have a great effect, are more reflected in the cohesion of the group, which can bring countless loose individuals together to form a force with a common goal and direction, leading everyone to move towards a common goal, and in rare cases, or due to the special environment or due to the special individual, those ethereal ideas, thinking, and will...... Naturally, it will evolve into some kind of power......"

"A power that no longer stays at the level of consciousness......"

"That's the power that can really affect the material world and manipulate everything in the world!"

And that power is often called the power of faith, the power of incense...... As for those who wield that power, most of the time they will be called "gods......"

"So, out of supply and demand, the so-called [gods] are supporters, initiators, and defenders of religion most of the time......

"It is precisely with their power that the so-called religion can be spread over long distances across time and space......

"At the beginning, the reason why the remnants of the [Atlantean Family] family still had the shadow of some religion after being imprisoned was because they had suffered some [religion] and [gods] influences in the distant past, and those influences naturally appeared ......on the earth with the passage of time in a form similar to intergenerational inheritance."

Speaking of which, after thinking for a while, Xi Shenren said directly: "To a certain extent, these religious ideas actually have a bit of a [memetic virus] flavor, although the weak may not suffer direct influence after coming into contact with them, there is still a probability that religious ideas will take root in their blood, and they can automatically take root and sprout under the right opportunity and right conditions......

Gu Yunmei Yezi frowned a little puzzled:

"[Memetic virus]?"

"Can you follow the bloodline......

Nishigami calmly explained:

"Ideas have the power to spread."

"The dissemination and appeal of certain ideas are far stronger than ordinary thoughts."

"And the [memetic virus] in my words refers to some extreme manifestation of the related thoughts......"

"For example, some religious ideas have benefited from the manipulation of the gods behind the scenes, and have the characteristics of relying on blood to spread, and the descendants of the infected will automatically believe in another individual, those gods who exist behind the scenes, without any training and teaching, and this is ...... from generation to generation."

"In this way, since some [Atlanteans] in the distant past, they naturally established [Buddhism], [Taoism], and [Cross Religion] under the influence of [memetic virus...... So as juniors, do we actually have that kind of thing in us? ”

That being said, Miyoko doesn't think Nishijin will allow that kind of thing.

She knew very well that her man was the kind of person who was self-serving.

That simply can't be tolerated.

As soon as she said this, the other people around her also looked away.

They are also a little interested in Xi Shen's words.

[Religion = Memetic Virus]?

Moreover, the [memetic virus] has also affected the [remnants of Atlantis] who are still inside the [Onte Prison].

"In the past, you did have that kind of thing, but how to put it...... In fact, that kind of thing is not necessarily dangerous as bacteria, the seeds of ideas are hidden things, and they need all kinds of conditions to take root and sprout, such as fit, environment, people, ......"

"Moreover, in the process of propagation, religion, which is based on the ideological level, can easily turn into something that even the gods behind the scenes cannot understand."

"After all, the same soil, the same water, the same environment...... can all develop different looks and personalities...... Guys. Not to mention the ethereal thoughts. ”

"That's exactly what happened."

"The [Empire of the End] that controls the entire world will allow those things to spread, rather than completely kill them."

"In the final analysis, those things are still a little out of the flow in this world."

"How can I say it......"

"Forehead ......"

"Orthodoxy is always in the ...... of the [Awakened]"

"The rest of the things, after all, are just bells and whistles, bull and horse knowledge and crooked ways......"
