Chapter 1891: When facing a tiger (1/2)
Facing Di Feiwen’s interrogation, Li Yao was silent for a long time, still grinning: “Similar questions, in fact, the former Su Changfa and many immortal cultivators captured by us have all been thrown out. I found out whether your immortal cultivators have accepted the general The same brainwashing process, like to use this extreme dilemma to confuse people?
”Of course I have thought about these issues, and even got into a dilemma. I think the theory of immortal cultivators is quite reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, when this dilemma occurs, no matter how you choose is wrong, it will fall to you. In the logic of sophistry, what is there to say?
”So, I think the point is not how to choose in this dilemma, but to find ways to prevent such things from happening.
”For example, you just said that when a crisis comes, mobs will inevitably appear, and they will be crazy to the extreme-why? It's not because you cultivators usually look down on ordinary people, cruelly oppress ordinary people, and neither believe it. The power of ordinary people does not promote real ”education”, so that ordinary people awaken the consciousness of the ”defender of human civilization”, instead instilling the idea of ”the weak eat the strong, the winner is king” all day long.
”You usually plant the seeds of cruelty and selfishness in the hearts of ordinary people, and treat them as'wild beasts.' How can you expect them to obey and even sacrifice themselves when the crisis comes?
”Moreover, you guys who call themselves the'elite' are selfish and arrogant. I believe that when the crisis comes, you will be self-sacrificing people like the ”Blood Demon Gun” Zhou Tailong. It's also a very small number. The vast majority of immortal cultivators will still scramble to flee for their lives, and they will even say, ”My strength is stronger, my life is more valuable, so I am more qualified to live,” right?
”The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Your style is like this. The ordinary people below follow you as an example. How can they not become a ‘mob’?
”However, is there such a possibility that in an ideal society, everyone has received comprehensive civic education from an early age, and deeply realized that whether or not the spiritual roots can be awakened, the strength of the master is strong or weak, everyone is human The masters and defenders of civilization shoulder unshirkable responsibilities. They all take'guardian' and'sacrifice' as the highest values. Such values are deeply imprinted in their subconscious minds.
”At the same time, we must always maintain a sense of crisis. Even if the crisis has not yet come, we will conduct a large number of ‘emergency plans’ training by combining ‘too illusion’ and ‘real combat exercises’.
”When the real crisis comes, under the leadership of the cultivator, countless people will come forward and sacrifice themselves to block the enemy. The remaining people have received a lot of training and can maintain the most basic order, evacuate and retreat in an orderly manner. , Maximize the number of people who eventually retreat.
”Such an ideal society is what the Star Federation and I want to pursue!”
Di Feiwen stared directly at Li Yao: ”According to the adults, how high is the average moral standard of this ideal society, isn't everyone going to become a sage?”
”The progress of civilization, of course, means higher and higher moral standards, not the opposite!”
Li Yao said seriously, ”Of course, this is just our ideal or dream. It is harder to reach the realm where everyone is a sage than to destroy a world. However, we still have technology. I believe in technological progress. , Can make up for some moral backwardness, let us avoid this dilemma as much as possible.
”For example, the second dilemma you throw is the question of saving the little girl.
”At first glance, this is indeed a very cruel choice, no matter which one you save seems wrong.
”But think about it carefully. In order to make this choice so cruel, you deliberately set a lot of premises. For example, there is a problem with the power cabin of the starship, and the space and resources on the starship can only save one more person. Time is pressing and it is too late. Prepare the second starship, and so on.
”What if these problems don't exist?
”What if with the advancement of technology, we can refine a starship with larger space and more efficient resource recycling and use, and take both of them away?
”What if our power cabin can be more stable and have advanced self-testing and maintenance methods?
”What if there is a mysterious and mysterious technique of'wisdom inheritance' that can allow the power talisman expert to transmit all his wisdom to the little girl?
”If the'human virtualization' technology becomes popular, when the power rune expert really can't physically evacuate, he will pull his soul out and get into a ring on the little girl's finger. Is it okay to walk together in form?
”In short, one of the essential differences between humans and beasts is tools and technology. I am a craftsman. I believe in technology. Of course technology is not omnipotent, but technological progress can indeed solve many problems. Let us avoid Countless cold and painful choices have made the whole world more civilized and beautiful.
”This is my answer.”
Li Yao's eyes were clear, but unwavering.
Di Feiwen's eyes revealed a trace of pity, he laughed dumbly, and shook his head: ”Moral? Technology? Is this the adult's answer? It's... too wishful thinking.”
”I have come to Xinghai Beach for so long, and I have gradually understood the way you live in the world and the idea of persevering in the world. Sometimes you truly feel that your cultivators are like ignorant, innocent children lying in a temporarily warm and safe place. In the lair, I don't know the darkness and the sinister heart of the outside world, but think that your little ”persistence” and ”power” can solve all problems.
”When immortal cultivators like us kindly tell you the cruelty of the outside world and the rules of survival in the cruel world, you always cover your ears,'I don't listen, I don't listen', thinking that as long as you stick to it stupidly , The dark world will disappear, and the cruel law will be reversed.
