Chapter 2088 Machine Contradictions Stubborn Thinking

"I don't feel any gratitude to him because a tool does what it should. He's just a tool."

Facing Alexia's question, the boss stated his point of view again. Of course, he also knew that it was not appropriate to say that, especially from the standpoint of human beings, he was somewhat suspected of being ungrateful. So he also immediately brought up another set of his own theories, and refuted it to Alexia.

"It's not that I don't know how to be grateful, ma'am. It's that you have to know what kind of existence is behind that terrible machine. A computer? Or a computer with its own mind. I really don't understand the government. Why do you have such a big heart, dare to let such a guy appear in front of everyone openly. Don't they know what a threat is?"

"That's intelligent life, sir. It's a miracle brewed by modern technology!"

"I don't know what a miracle is. I only know that people called it a miracle when the atom was ejected. But now, he has done more damage to our own people than to our enemies!"

He raised his voice, as if doing so would make him more verbally overwhelming. The boss continued with his own opinion.

"Even before our own problems have been completely resolved, we set foot in the realm of the gods without authorization. The result of this is that we will inevitably create an existence that cannot be controlled. And look at the power displayed by that guy , Is that what man can do? He is learning and surpassing man, surpassing his Creator, and wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with gods. And on the premise that he is already a big step ahead of us, who can guarantee that he Will serve us as always, as we serve God. Instead of kicking us out and replacing us."

This fearful thought was not beyond Alexia's expectations. She knew very well that most conservative people probably had a similar thought in their minds.

There is nothing surprising about this. Because science has always been just a concept for this kind of people. They never take the initiative to understand the limits of science, and they reject everything beyond their cognition. Like Ultron, I am afraid their only impression is that classic science fiction movie more than 20 years ago. But apart from this point, it may be unrealistic for them to make some fair evaluations of Ultron.

As expected by Alexia, the boss soon started talking about the old meme.

"I don't know if you've seen an old movie, I guess it doesn't have much of an impression at your grade. If you've seen that, you'll have an idea of ​​what I do. Because that already reveals a detached What kind of things will the computer we control do? He will control everything in this world, and then plan to wipe out all human beings, trying to let the things he created replace us and become the master of this world .Believe it not, young man, everything develops alike."

"The first is the robots that make the big shots proud, they think it's their achievement, but who knows if it's the conspiracy of that computer. Then let these robots replace our police and military, so that we can deprive us of all resistance. In the end, maybe it's him standing right in front of the TV and declaring his dominion over all of us and the fact that humans are their slaves. I wouldn't be surprised if this happened tomorrow."

"It's just a movie, sir. Reality doesn't go the way it does, especially since there's no logic to it.

"

Alexia made a proper rebuttal, but this kind of rebuttal seemed to stimulate the nerves of the boss, making him immediately blow his beard and stare.

"What is illogical. Are movies necessarily illogical? You highly educated people just like to be self-righteous. Let me tell you, I have experienced many things in my life, and these things, in your opinion, are the same as those in the movie. Same happened."

"Have you ever seen a few people chasing dozens of people on the opposite side with just four guns? Have you ever seen someone burn a tank to scrap metal with a single wine bottle? No, you haven't seen that. However, just thinking according to your ridiculous scientific logic, you will not believe all of this at all, and consider all of this as delusional. However, this is what happened before my eyes, and it is what I have personally experienced , what can you say about this?"

It seemed that he had been treated unfairly when he was young. When it came to science and logic, the boss seemed to be making excuses. Of course, his pretext did not interfere with Alexia's judgment, and she could clearly discern that there was more or less suspicion of changing concepts in the nonsense he said.

This is trickery. Many people think that those who engage in scientific research must be dull-headed and clumsy in speech. In fact, this is pure prejudice, and it is the self-consolation of those chicken soup-style gods who close doors and open windows for you. You must know that science is the science that pays most attention to logic, and the basis of language is also logic. You expect a group of beings who can use formulas and calculations to solve problems that are so complex that you can’t even understand a single symbol will lose to you in terms of language and logic. .

Most of the time they are dull and not good at speaking, they just simply don't like to communicate with ordinary people. It's like saying that ordinary people don't like to communicate with the mentally retarded. In their eyes, it is estimated that ordinary people are similar to the mentally retarded. But if you get rid of this prejudice and give them a temper that is not afraid of anything, then basically, any professional scientist can be transformed into Tony Stark, and you can't even know your own mother at any time. .

As one of them, Alexia could of course perceive the loopholes and ridiculousness of his logic. And she herself wanted to find out the intentions of these people, so of course she couldn't just laugh it off like ordinary people and save enough face for the boss. She's here to pick a punch. Because of this, she unceremoniously put on a domineering but not overbearing attitude, just like you are a student sitting under the stage, and she is a teacher standing on the stage, facing the boss like this Say it.

"Sir, I don't understand what happened to you to make you have such a prejudice against science. But what I want to tell you is that you can't completely deny science because of a little bit of your own experience. The reason why discipline becomes the foundation of the entire human society is because it has irreversible truths. Putting it on Ultron and the robots he created is what you worry about, and there is no logic to support it .”

"If you look at Ultron and those omnics as a species, the ecological environment they need has nothing to do with humans. The movie considers the relationship between the two based on the law of species competition, which is actually not true. Correct. Because fundamentally, there is no competitive relationship between the two.”

"All the natural substances that human beings need, air, water, food, and even all social substances, money, and entertainment are not consumables necessary for machine life. They have nothing for it, and even say that they are the manufactures of these substances It is not a consumer. Except for energy, and energy, under the premise that human beings have developed almost unlimited nuclear fusion energy, it is impossible to have the possibility of using energy as a contradiction.”

"Even if human beings kill each other and lead to the extinction of the race, they are more likely to be wiped out by intelligent life like Ultron. Because human beings still have survival and racial contradictions, how are these contradictions brewing? It will not be strange to a certain extent. But machines, machines and us can’t even have contradictions, so how can they become the culprits of our destruction?”

"It's just your opinion, ma'am."

Standing in front of such a convincing statement that cannot be refuted at all, the boss feels that the words he used to brag and complain in the past are really not confrontational. But it is also impossible for him to admit that what the other party said makes sense, and that his own thoughts are just unfounded worries.

This not only subverted his speech, but also subverted his life. You know, he has survived this attitude of questioning science for half his life. If this makes him a fan of science, it will be no easier than killing him.

Of course he refused to give in, and in order to be able to stick to his position, he tried his best to refute this point of view with all the examples he could think of.

"You say that there is no contradiction between humans and machines, so why do so many workers lose their jobs because of the adoption of machines in factories, and become unemployed who can only wander on the streets?"

"You have the wrong object, sir. This is not a conflict between man and machine, but a conflict between worker and capitalist. From the capitalist's point of view, the worker's needs are higher than the machine's demand, and the worker's output is lower than the machine's output. Of course they will choose the machine. Even if you are sitting in that position, you will choose this way. Because this is the most optimal and the most beneficial. The machine only plays an instrumental role in the middle, it does not take the initiative to interact with you What to fight for, but the conflict between you and the capitalists made them make a choice."

"Society has always developed like this. It's like wool workers will be replaced by textile machines. More advanced production methods are bound to make some people unemployed, but at the same time, it will also provide additional employment opportunities. Just look at Can you just take the chance?"

"But after all, aren't our jobs still being taken over by those machines?"

The boss had heard this kind of tirade more than once, and it was the same as before, he chose to ignore those straightforward truths, and firmly grasped the core of the contradiction.

"I don't care about the development of society. I only know that a group of men who should have jobs lost their jobs because of those machines. Their children are hungry and their wives are crying. They have all their strength and skills. There's simply no place to use it, which is why I don't like machines."

"I probably understand what you mean when you say that. You think that the prevalence of machines will lead to an increase in the unemployment rate of humans, which will lead to a series of social problems in disguise, right?"

Am I thinking so? The boss was a little confused for a while, he dared to swear in the name of his dead father, he really didn't think so much, but in front of a woman like Alexia, he was really embarrassed to say that he thought shallowly. So he could only bite the bullet and nodded.

"That's right, I just can't accept such a thing. Why should we ordinary people pay for the so-called social development, but does social development have to be based on the sacrifices of our ordinary people?"

"Well, if you say so, then make a choice, sir."

Alexia was noncommittal about the question. She just changed the subject and said so.

"Two options, first, you are willing to be a working class, working in a factory all your life, the material you get can only meet the food and clothing of the whole family, let you barely support your child through community college, and then let him Come to pick up your shift and continue to be a worker? Or do you want to change the way, that is, you can do whatever you want, and you can get a good salary no matter what job you do, and at the same time, social welfare can also achieve the kind that allows you How about not even working, and being able to live a comfortable and comfortable life with everything you need?"

"This is impossible?"

Hearing this, the boss shook his head. The welfare benefits here in Europe are already considered the best on earth. But even the best of them couldn't possibly afford such benefits. This isn't reality anymore, it's just a dream.

"I mean, what if!"

"Then of course I will choose the second one. I'm not a fool."

Regardless of race, the appeal is the same. If you can stand, who wants to make money on your knees, and if you can lie down, who will think about work? All are forced by reality, forced by helplessness. And for almost all normal people, they want to live a life where they can get what they need by doing nothing. It's just that it's impossible.

Of course, this impossibility is not necessarily impossible, at least not from Alexia's point of view.

"If you really want to choose the second option, then you should not reject machines like Ultron. Because you have to be clear that their appearance means a leap forward in productivity, and only when productivity leaps to a certain level can they appear. That second possibility that I've pictured."

"Machines have no needs, everything they create is for human beings. And when one day, the materials they create exceed the overall needs of human society, then the day I described will become a reality .And is this day far away? From the perspective of the development of modern technology, it is actually not far away, as long as no one makes obstacles."

As she said so, she began to watch the boss's expression. And just as she expected, the boss also showed a fascinated expression for a while. But soon, he shook his head and became stubborn again.

"Sorry, I still don't believe it. I don't think anyone in this world can be so kind. Humans are not like this, let alone a machine. Instead of making me believe that everything he did was for such a purpose, I I'd rather believe that in the movie, everything he did was a conspiracy."

"Yes, this is supposed to be a conspiracy. Those governments, maybe they are already under control. Otherwise, how could they be so indulgent. Damn, a bunch of shit..."

He took out the wine bottle from under the counter and poured himself a full glass of spirits. While the boss drank it down, he also began to end his words with some murmurs that no one could understand.

And this meant the end of the topic, but Alexia had already got the answer she wanted.

She has seen clearly that the ridiculous nature of human beings...
