Chapter 823 The Authority of Science

Jeanne turned her head slightly and looked at Xiang Shan, who had his hands behind his back: [What's wrong with you? Don't you want to beat this guy up? 】

[He is already like this, why not just follow him. ] Zhu Xiangshan's phantom shrugged, [It's not entirely unreasonable. 】

[You clearly wanted to beat me just now. 】

[There is no point in beating this poor thing. ] Zhu Xiangshan put his hands behind his back and said in a very calm tone: [Besides, he was a little unreasonable this time. I can destroy the "kingdom of heaven" of ordinary believers, but human beings have to rely on some fictional concept to fight against the nothingness of life. This need didn't go away - at that time I didn't know what I was fighting. 】

As long as this need exists, humans cannot kill "gods". What was killed was just a name for "god". It can appear under different names.

"It" can even be armed with Xiangshan.

Li Zheyuan found that Jeanne was unresponsive and gradually let go. He continued: "This guy doesn't even think that he is a powerful monster who is standing at the pinnacle of the times and can decide the fate of the world - in his mind, I am afraid there is an illusion that 'country', 'society', Concepts like 'the public' are omnipotent..."

With a "bang" sound, a bullet grazed Li Zheyuan's head and made a hole inside the spacecraft.

"Ah." Asgard said: "Now we have no backup power supply... This should be to deploy the solar panels in an emergency, right?"

Jeanne retracted her arm: "It's not me. It's Xiangshan."

The phantom of Tu Xiangshan turned around and widened his eyes: [Hey, hey, hey... don't blame me for this kind of thing...]

[Don’t you feel a little dissatisfied? ] Jeanne said.

[In a sense, he is indeed a bit unreasonable. I firmly believe that everyone is a sleeping strong man, an unenlightened Buddha, and a potential saint. I am no different from them. Their stupidity and narrow-mindedness are also present in me. It’s just that I am one of the rare lucky ones at the end of the old era. I got enough educational resources, so I had some awareness. I also hope that this self-consciousness can appear in everyone...] Xiang Shandao: [But I did not make the most correct judgment on the trajectory of history, and I also overly underestimated the power of that technological revolution. 】

It was a technological revolution that surpassed any previous technological revolution, and was a leap and improvement in human nature.

After that line, "humanity" becomes the absolutely dominant force in the "planetary environment".

Asjia looked at Li Zheyuan: "Then let's talk about the Father of All Machines. The person in Jeanna's mind is not willing to listen to Martial Ancestor's evaluation, so let's talk about the Father of All Machines."

"He is also an idiot." Li Zheyuan was shocked, but still gritted his teeth and said: "A person who went completely crazy two hundred years ago. In order to deny Xiangshan, he denied most of Xiangshan's ideas. His understanding of the world It’s not even as good as Xiangshan…”

"What does he want to do? He wants to destroy all culture and all beliefs, and even rewrite the instincts in human genes, leaving only 'science'. But..."

Li Zheyuan was speechless for a while, as if he was recalling something.

Asga was dissatisfied: "Speak, what's 'but'?"

"Xiang Shan once said that 'science' is also an ideology." Li Zheyuan's tone suddenly lost its ups and downs. He said: “Moreover, ‘science’ is an ideology that is naturally biased towards authority.”

"Perhaps the countless changes in theoretical systems and research paradigms in the scientific community have made people feel that this field is completely free and open. In the 19th century, this kind of thing even gave humans the illusion of being under an enlightened authority system. In the system, humans can constantly update the system through the rules within the system to ensure that the system remains great.”

Li Zheyuan whispered: "But is this really the case...Does every advancement in science really get the obedience and support of the old authority?"

"'Scientific', 'correct' and 'useful' are not three completely overlapping sets. Some theories are completely in line with the scientific paradigm and only require the use of statistical tricks or unintentional transfer of statistics. trap, you can get surprising results. It is scientific, but it is not correct or useful.”

"Non-scientific theories may be useful. A large number of psychoanalytic application cases in clinical psychology show that non-scientific systems can also be 'useful'."

"But unknowingly, 'science' has acquired a part of the sacred cloak from the 'gods' of the old times. So much so that many 'useful' political propositions will certainly promote themselves as 'scientific' or 'based on science' '."

"'Science' has long been mixed with the poison of the old era. It is impossible that Yawgmoth has not heard Xiang Shan talk about this. The only thing he wants to retain may not be so different from the thing he vetoes. Are you clear about Jing and Wei?"

"Isn't such a person an idiot?"

Zhu Xiangshan sighed: [This guy really hates me...]

【Um? 】

[It’s been two hundred years and I still haven’t forgotten it. ] Zhu Xiangshan pointed at Li Zheyuan: [It’s not easy. 】

Jeanne looked at Li Zheyuan.

【He was also a warrior. 】Xiang Shan said: 【But he chose to close his eyes. Pity……】

Asgard asked him something again. This guy went crazy again and shouted: "That's right, whether it's Yawgmoth or Xiangshan, they are all crazy! Fools! People like me are normal people! I am the normal person!"

Jenna said: [I really want to beat him up... Is it your influence? ]

[Maybe a little. It's hard to tell now. ] Xiangshan said: [And in a sense, it's not too outrageous. You have to admit that people like him are the majority. If there were no people like me, people like him wouldn't necessarily cause much disaster...]

- But such people, the infinite accumulation of small sufferings, will eventually cause darkness that covers everything...

This is what Xiangshan didn't think of saying, but Jeanna felt.

[A person finally discovered the terrifying fact-his god really exists, but hates the world. ] Xiangshan sighed: [If there is really a god in this world, then He must hate humans. ]

[I don't understand... I don't understand yet. ]

[I hope you don't need to understand, but you have to understand. ]

Xiangshan said so.

The spacecraft quietly stopped beside the asteroid. In the next few months, this regular metal creature will pretend to be an asteroid.

Then, it will spit out flames again and head for Ur.

I heard that the transport plane An225 "Dream" that once carried the space shuttle was blown up in the war between two former Soviet republics, and I felt complicated.

Originally, in my conception, this thing would be bought by David in the 21st century 40s and put into a private museum. Before the protagonist Xiangshan left the earth, he would see the wreckage of David's private museum-a place where no one takes care of it, countless old-time spacecraft that are gradually decaying, and there is this classic combination of transport plane and space shuttle.

Unexpectedly, it only survived until 2022 in reality.
