Chapter 2208 Mechanical Zen

Dulan is working with his cyborg subordinates, and he doesn't make fun of them every day. After all, he wants to see the world after the cost of social management is eliminated.

But Duran is very low-key. He is different from the glamorous criminals outside. He commits crimes down-to-earth and does not kill people to gain attention.

In fact, until now, Duran still hasn't figured out why Makishima Shogo and Shikamaru Kirito killed so many people. It makes no sense at all. Why should dissatisfaction with society be equated with revenge against society?

Although it is true that social change is inseparable from violence, it does not mean killing innocent people indiscriminately. This kind of random criminal behavior really has no meaning.

Some people may say that without bloody crimes, society would not pay attention to it and would not face the problem head-on.

Even Lu Xun said that if there were no people who lifted the roof, no one would agree to open the windows. When the entire society is numb, only powerful evil can change something.

But this change is like Duran saying: Reform in all countries begins with bloodshed. I have never heard of anyone bleeding in this country. If so, it starts with you.

Making sacrifices all starts with oneself, never starts with killing innocent people indiscriminately.

Although Dulan often likes to play pranks and is very nasty, he always does it while ensuring the safety of the other party and trying his best to avoid affecting the onlookers. So he can't understand those people, after all, they have different views.

While the Security Bureau investigates the dead, Duran is turning humans into machines.

"Many people believe that when humans become machines, they will lose creativity, stagnate or even regress, or even be destroyed." Duran said: "Do you believe it?"

Many science fiction works say this. The more advanced human technology is, the more social cohesion and creativity will decrease. In the end, everything will come to nothing.

No one answered, because they were not superhuman beings who could not see the distant future and were not sure whether their actions would cause destruction or new life.

However, many science fiction works are pessimistic about mechanical society, believing that mechanical society makes people lose their creativity.

"What is creativity? What many people call creativity is actually not about technology, but about art. In the mechanical age, productivity is highly developed and everyone has time to study art. By then, artists will no longer be valuable, so They will be afraid. Then there are the rulers. They have gone to great lengths to create a set of systems just to ensure that they are necessary. Once productivity reaches the extreme, rule will become obsolete, so they will also be afraid. Science fiction works are largely influenced by artists and rulers, so they are very pessimistic about the future of machines because they are worried about losing their status. In fact, the so-called decline of creativity is just a false proposition, and the real proposition should be obsolescence. creativity is eliminated.”

Regarding Duran's optimism, the three people who were forcibly reformed did not accept it. However, they were quite happy to accept the voluntary reformers led by Morpheus early. They believed everything Duran said.

“Will creativity become obsolete?”

"Of course. Look, doesn't God keep pace with the times? Doesn't God's creativity steadily improve with the advancement of science?" "The priests have been updating God's creativity to ensure that they have Not losing to the authority of scientists, they compete with scientists for the right to explain science. "It's terrible to be behind in creativity, just like opera. How many people will carefully write a new drama now? Isn't it just an adaptation of an old drama? Old wine in new bottles is because drama has become outdated, and so has the creativity of drama. "When everyone is obsessed with machinery, who will care about art and institutions when everyone has an electronic brain?" Creativity will appear." Duran said: "Makishima Shogo, you should be happy, because in the future everyone will be able to read the classics by heart, and then you can talk to you about Shakespeare with just anyone on the street. ”

By then he was no longer interested, because by then the famous novels could no longer highlight his character.

Makishima Shogo has seen the future, and it will not be unusual for things that only a few people can do by then. Everyone is a gymnast, everyone is a kung fu star, and everyone is a scholar, because the electronic brain will be loaded with all kinds of knowledge, and the prosthetic body will complete the movements more accurately than muscles.

The precision of the human body depends entirely on feeling, but the precision of prosthetics is down to numbers.

By then, everyone in society will be a versatile 'superman', and everyone's attention will definitely be on how to make prosthetics more powerful, and how to make electronic brains with larger capacity and faster processing speeds.

What Duran is doing now is leaking the technology of the prosthetic body while improving the performance of the prosthetic body. At the same time, he is also thinking about mechanical Zen and looking for theoretical support for the rationality of the prosthetic body.

Buddha proposed the concept of equality for all beings, and now Duran proposes the equality of all beings.

God has given people different bodies and different talents, but he has also taken away many things. For example, the hero Napoleon was a dwarf. If he could make a wish, he would definitely wish that he could grow taller.

Now the era of true equality has arrived, because machines are completely equal, and even the style of the face can be changed, and the body shape can also be chosen. Both intelligence and physical strength will reach the same starting line and truly be equal.

In mechanical Zen, Duran proposed a new "eight mechanical consciousnesses", believing that the Internet is a brand-new neural network, and that electromagnetic waves are the life source of machines.

Mechanical Zen is not a religion, because there is no god, it just teaches everyone how to be a good robot.

Of course, there are many people who criticize these mechanical Zen as heresy, after all, only a very small number of people are cyborgs now. The total number of people in the world is no more than a hundred.

But these cyborgs still like Duran's new doctrine, because it gives them a goal. Robots should not follow the original human values, but should learn new values ​​from mechanical Zen.

However, the more cyborgs are like this, the more frightening they are, and this fear is more terrible than murderers.

Because killers can only kill a few people and cannot exterminate humans. But the rise of cyborgs is like a two-dimensional foil, ruthlessly hitting human society, shaking the foundation of human society, and even replacing humans. This fear is overwhelming and cannot be suppressed at all.

The Security Bureau is still trying to make up for the loss and helping the prophet system to fix loopholes. They have no idea that great changes are coming. Because the prophet system is still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Dream of the "perfect system" and the beautiful dream of turning every citizen into an ideal citizen.

But the tide of the times will not stop just because of beautiful dreams. It will only ruthlessly crush the dreamers and the dreaming systems.

What Duran is doing now is to promote the development of the times. In fact, what he is doing is nothing. He is just messing around here and there, but in the end, the times will undergo huge changes because of small actions.
