Chapter 827 Jesus Is Forever (Part 2)
The discussion time always passed quickly. Before we knew it, it was time for the interns to leave. The three of them basically reached a consensus on the goal of Gotham's reform, which was a great progress.
At dusk, Alberto's personality went back to rest, and Evans reappeared. He looked down at his watch and said, "Sorry, professor, I may have to leave. There are still things waiting for me to deal with."
Schiller stood up and said, "Go, remember to arrive on time tomorrow, and have a good rest."
After Evans left, Bruce did not mean to leave. He looked at Schiller and asked, "What is the best card you are talking about? My scientific research ability?"
"Of course." Schiller answered while closing the door. Bruce frowned and asked, "Why?"
"Of course it's because of your genius wisdom." Schiller walked back to his desk and sat down, while Bruce stood there, not speaking, waiting for Schiller's next sentence.
"We only discuss technology, not ethics. If there are enough resources, are you sure you can support all mankind?" Schiller asked.
Bruce frowned and said, "I don't want to rule the earth, nor do I want to be the king of mankind or control all the resources on this planet."
"Why?" Schiller asked.
"Because I don't want to be Macbeth." Bruce looked into Schiller's eyes and said, "Unlimited power is equal to no power. When power reaches its peak, there will be nothing left."
Schiller sighed and said, "Rule? No..."
"If you can gather all the resources provided by the entire earth together, then you can use your scientific research ability to build the entire earth into a system, use technical means to evenly distribute all materials, and thus support mankind."
Schiller looked into Bruce's eyes and said, "You have never been a low-level person living in the slums. The resources and genius wisdom you have allow you to change everything in a faster and more thorough way."
"With your scientific research and technical capabilities, you can completely turn the entire earth into a beehive, where everyone can have enough space and resources to fulfill their every dream and get ultimate happiness. "
"I asked you before whether the current resources on the earth are enough for everyone to have a happy life, and your answer is yes."
"Now, the reason why this goal has not been achieved is that both the social system and science and technology are responsible, and no matter which one is strong enough, it can replace the other to a certain extent."
"And obviously, your scientific research ability is strong enough to influence the social system and even change the human social system."
"But you must understand one thing..." Schiller gradually showed his fangs, he stood up, walked in front of Bruce, looked into his eyes and said, "Revolution, whose life is it to revolutionize?"
"Whether you want to carry out a violent revolution from the bottom or want to reform from top to bottom, you must know that even if you make the smallest change, you, as the person who controls the most means of production, will definitely suffer losses, the only difference is the size of the loss."
"When you made the decision to completely overthrow the gangster rules, when you wanted to make everyone in this city better and let them have the peaceful and prosperous life they dream of, have you ever thought that this means that you may lose everything. ”
“The more you want to do, the more you will lose. In the process of re-establishing rules and redistributing resources, you cannot stay out of it.”
“Bruce, you may have read some books, but you haven’t had enough time to understand them. When I asked you these questions, I think you should have understood why the book said that capitalists will never wake up.”
“Social wealth is certain. Resources will not increase out of thin air due to changes in the distribution method. When the total amount remains unchanged, the wealth that flows into the poor you sympathize with is all flesh cut from you.”
“In this process, you must cut off your own flesh one by one, disassemble the skeleton, dissect the internal organs, and personally give all the materials you rely on to survive and allow you to enjoy your current life to those who will not thank you or remember you.”
“This is why, in human history, top-down reforms have never succeeded. No one can endure such pain.”
“All their kindness is based on the premise that it will not endanger themselves. Once they start cutting flesh, everyone will be terrified and afraid of it. ”
“The difference is that many of these classes did not anticipate such results before the reform, but now, I have told you all the consequences.”
“Many of these people do not have this ability, because of the limitations of the times, even if they pay, they cannot get the desired results, but now, I can also tell you that with your amazing wisdom, you can do this.”
“Once you start doing this, your wealth, status, and reputation will no longer exist, and the only thing you can get in exchange for these things is the happiness of strangers who have nothing to do with you.”
"Batman, you have found your humanity at the bottom of Gotham and want to go with them, but do you really have the divinity to abandon everything you have and sacrifice everything for your ideal?"
"Now, a multiple-choice question is placed in front of you. You can only choose one between your ideal and everything you have..."
"Batman, what will you choose?"
Bruce remembered that when he first met the professor, every time he entered his office, he would use all kinds of language to shake his mind and force him to make a choice, and this time was no exception.
In other words, the problem this time is more deadly.
Batman, who shouts about saving Gotham and fighting criminals every day, should have carried out this plan without hesitation when he got a chance to really save Gotham and completely eliminate crime.
But the only problem is that the firewood that needs to be burned to ignite this fire is himself.
Under the existing system, wealth always flows upward, and the gap between the rich and the poor will only get bigger and bigger. If you want to find a perfect social system to replace the current system and solve all problems once and for all, there are two ways.
One is to make resources infinite. As long as everyone has approximately infinite resources, such as infinite land, food, and air, the so-called gap between the rich and the poor will actually become meaningless.
As long as there are absolutely infinite resources, even if the wealth gap between the poor and the rich is tens of thousands of galaxies, it is actually meaningless, because a human being only needs so much survival materials throughout his life, and the materials needed to achieve all needs are also limited. When everyone achieves the goal of ultimate happiness, the remaining things, no matter how big the gap is, it doesn’t matter.
Another way is absolute fairness. Everyone is not born equal, but there are actually coercive means to make everyone equal by birth. As long as there is a final producer who can support all mankind, no matter whether he is good or bad, to some extent, the rest of the people have achieved absolute fairness, either fair nothingness or fair well-off for everyone.
To achieve the first path, it is necessary to expand outward and obtain unlimited resources. It is necessary to leave the earth and go to the sea of stars until it occupies the entire universe. Perhaps the entire universe is not enough. There needs to be an endless infinite universe to allow all humans to meet all needs and move towards ultimate happiness.
To achieve the second path, we need to change internally, with an absolute advantage, to overwhelm the entire human society, and then allocate the resources of the entire earth with the highest efficiency, so that every human being can become a part of the tribe. When the gap and comparison are eliminated, there will no longer be any social needs. People only need to focus on their own survival and spiritual needs, and they can also achieve ultimate happiness.
But the only problem is that every end-productive person will not be willing to support all mankind. Since all the resources on this planet have been obtained, why not enjoy them yourself? What does the life and death of strangers have to do with oneself?
This is not indifference, but the nature of human nature. Human beings are selfish and must first consider their own needs. With the expansion of resources in their hands, there is also the expansion of demand. Maybe the end-productive person does not need the entire earth, but he feels that his future desires may need it, so he will not share it with others.
If you want to get rid of this natural nature, Batman must change from a human back to a god, because only a god can be truly selfless.
Bruce, standing in the room, understood this truth. When he flew down from the high attic, he just wanted to see what the people on the ground were doing.
Life among the crowd made him wear the cloak of a human being, and made him choose to become one of these people, with the courage to face suffering and go against the current.
But after he inherited the most precious part of human nature, he still needed to strip away the most essential part of human nature, that is, selfishness and greed.
Bruce felt that his newly grown skin began to hurt again, and something came out again under the human skin he put on himself.
Perhaps it was the wings he had not used for a long time.
