Chapter 3131 Final Speech
"In reality, everyone's influence on the outside world is invisible, but these influences are real. In my model, they are embodied as rigid spider silk."
"These seemingly soft and slender rays of influence are actually inflexible rigid bodies, and these rigid spider silks are closely connected with the elastic human body, thus forming a complete human being."
Joan picked up the pointer and waved it lightly, the magic power flashed continuously, and many spherical colloids of radiating rigid silk threads emerged in the air, each of which represented a natural person, and when all these human models came together, a magical scene happened.
The densely distributed rigid threads in the air are connected to each other and interweave into a dense three-dimensional network. Each spherical colloid is connected with its neighbors through rigid threads, and then indirectly connected with its more distant counterparts.
"This system composed of countless spherical colloids and complex networks is our society."
The conclusion made by Joan caused a slight discussion in the audience.
So far, his narration is very simple and straightforward, and the geometric model of "people and society" he constructed basically conforms to the public's imagination. The only confusing thing is only one detail.
Why "people" are elastic spheres that seem to have no human form at all, let alone individuality, and this is obviously not in line with the real society where "the same rice supports all kinds of people".
Joan's next speech will focus on explaining this question.
"The so-called social relationship is the 'rigid spider web' between people, everyone is framed by this network, and when an individual in the network tries to adjust his position and makes even the slightest action, It will pull every thread in the body."
"Because these silk threads are rigid bodies that cannot be deformed, the force of the actor will inevitably be exerted on other individuals connected to them. When the distance between the two parties is far away, they will be pulled by the silk threads; when the distance between the two parties is close, it will be Squeezed by a rigid thread, as if pricked by a needle."
"When a person moves, the people around him will be pulled or squeezed, and when everyone moves, all individuals in the network are exerting force on the outside world, making the entire social network move."
"People pull and squeeze each other in this way, close people get closer, distant people get alienated, those who are willing to cooperate cooperate, and those who are keen on confrontation can fight, and all the pain and happiness of human society have evolved from this. War and peace."
"At the same time, under the influence of forces from all directions, the elastic natural person has to adjust his form at any time in order to adapt to the environment, relieve the pressure caused by interpersonal relationships as much as possible, and change his image and personality in order to become better. Mentality, the final result of this process, is to shape the 'natural man' into a 'social man'."
Having said that, Joan raised the pointer and pointed it into the air.
The audience in the audience looked up following his pointing, and were surprised to find that the social model composed of countless elastic balls and rigid threads in the air has changed greatly with the continuous interaction of all individuals!
The whole society has become a fluffy chaotic sphere, and every smallest unit that constitutes the social organization has also evolved from a naturally round, jelly-like sphere to images with different postures, and some of the individuals are really human models. Human!
Using this simple model, Joan vividly demonstrates the process of human beings transforming from "natural person" to "social person".
People have gradually transformed from a natural and undifferentiated natural state into individuals with different postures. Of course, there are internal reasons for actively developing individuality and pursuing ideals, but it is also inseparable from the pull and squeeze of external forces. Working together, they finally shaped the shape of people.
"Yes, that's how humans make us."
"Most individuals living in this system, as they get older, will be polished off by society to some extent, become smooth and sophisticated, and even lose themselves, and become a dispensable screw on the huge machine of society .”
"However, there are still a small number of individuals who cannot adapt to the transition from 'natural person' to 'social person'. The influence exerted on them by others, even just the gaze from strangers, will bring him unbearable pain. Suffering, living in such a society is like being in hell and suffering."
"For these poor people who cannot adapt to society, the normal interpersonal interaction in life has become an unbearable mutual harm. In order to escape the pain, they try to shrink back to their own small world, avoid contact with the outside world as much as possible, and become They are spiritual orphans who are separated from the social system, which makes them feel more at ease."
Having said that, Joan couldn't help but sighed.
There was also a sympathetic sigh from the audience.
No matter how sunny and sociable a person looks on the surface, there will always be a moment in life from time to time, when he feels that "others are hell" and feels the pain caused by the gaze of the "big other", and there is only undisturbed solitude Only then can this inexplicable mental pain be healed and the enthusiasm for participating in social activities rekindled.
However, not everyone can be cured so easily.
After all, there are some individuals who can't stand being bound by rigid spider webs at all times, either pulling and oppressing others, or being dragged and oppressed by others, and longing to escape from the spider web completely and be isolated from the system.
"When a person who tries to escape from society really realizes his wish, no one else is connected to him through rigid threads, and he gains ultimate freedom, but he also loses the supporting force on which to shape his body, and he no longer has a human shape. It is a round colloid, which cannot be called a human being."
Joan shook the pointer lightly, and a group of colloidal humanoids disconnected from the surrounding individuals and isolated from the network. Since it is no longer subjected to any external force, the elastic, jelly-like body quickly turns back into a spherical shape, and does not return to its original shape.
"I put forward a point of view in the award-winning paper "I Am the Magic Net": an individual, whether it is a tiny bacterium or a crystal wall system containing billions of creatures in the entire universe, as long as it is out of the magic net, it cannot communicate with itself. We, who live in a demon world, can exchange information as if it doesn’t exist.”
"When we replace the magic net with the earthly net of 'society', we can draw similar inferences."
"Man is a social animal, the sum of all social relations."
"A person who is isolated from society, even if he is still alive and healthy, is still a biological person, but to society, he is already dead."
"It's called 'social death.'"
