Chapter 82: The Middle Line

History is like a giant pendulum, swinging from side to side. People don't seem to care much about the middle line, only about right and wrong, but they don't know when to break through the balance, from left to right, from right to left, and become biased.

A network cable connects the whole world, and mankind has started a wave of digitalization and built an information transportation highway. I don't know when people got used to looking for real answers from the virtual world, instead of looking for real answers from the real world.

If some processes in history are irreversible, in Zhao Lei's view, the Internet, which represents scientific and technological progress, is irreversible. No matter how the virtual economy impacts the real economy, no matter how mechanization squeezes people's living space, under the giant wheel of historical progress, it seems that the mantis arm is beyond its own strength. I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to cross this road, leave to buy road wealth. It became a matter of course to set up toll booths, and by the way, it was also sent to the wealth list.

In the pavilion where the origin was located, the four of them gathered together.

Zhou Zhiqi recalled the past and asked, "Can life be repeated?" ”

Cao Xuefei ordered Brother Sen's default menu again: shrimp dumplings, barbecued pork buns, money belly, siu mai, fried spring rolls, steamed phoenix feet, boat porridge...... "I know we order the same menu, and I know that nature goes through a cycle of seasons every year," he said. ”

"Look at the time scale." Lin Sen said: "When the time span is large enough that the subtle changes in it are negligible, then we are in a constant cycle. ”

Chen Zhang said: "As far as the individual is concerned, the time span is a lifetime, and the time of realization is the same. For example, in our body, the replacement time of human cells ranges from a few days to several years, and the lifespan of a person is decades. Man cannot be aware of the time of a cell's life, and cells cannot be aware of the time of a person's life, but they have spent a long and short life in their respective time and space. ”

Looking at Zhou Zhiqi and Cao Xuefei's misty appearance, Lin Sen explained knowingly: "From the social dimension, through historical experience, we can avoid repeating the mistakes of the past; From a personal perspective, the mistakes of the past can be avoided through the experience of previous ones. ”

Zhou Zhiqi savored the words and said: "That is to say, from the perspective of society, people are in reincarnation; From a human point of view, everything is in reincarnation? ”

"Yes, it's just a matter of whether you realize it."

Zhou Zhiqi asked puzzledly: "According to this logic, no matter what choice is made, it will eventually enter a different reincarnation?" ”

Cao Xuefei echoed in confusion when he listened: "Yes, won't the future become certain?" ”

"Taking the human body as an example, for the body, the fate of the human cells is determined; For society, the fate of the individual is determined; For galaxies, the fate of humanity is decided...... As Lao Lin said, it's just a matter of whether you can realize it. ”

"I understand that the four seasons of the year can be a lifetime or a reincarnation; It can be uncertainty or certainty. ”

"Another example is the development of science and technology, which may also be reincarnation."

"Reincarnation? Wouldn't that be a regression in the development of technology? ”

"Yes, the progress of science and technology is ostensibly to improve social efficiency and reduce social costs, which is the inevitable progress of history. In fact, technology is the energy that needs to be developed to meet the needs of different populations. We are just on the curve of overlapping and rising population and technological development. What happens if the population is declining and technology is advancing at a rapid pace? ”

Cao Xuefei spit out a word in surprise: "Cancer? ”

Zhou Zhiqi asked incredulously: "Isn't the progress of science and technology just to solve social problems?" How did it become the problem itself? ”

"The extremes of things must be opposed, and the same is true of technology. What we need to do is to find the midline and try to make sure that the absolute amplitude is as small as possible. ”

"Just like the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, in terms of science and technology, the United States, which was ultimately pragmatic, dragged down the pragmatic Soviet Union with its acting skills."
