Chapter 246 How to Destroy the Real Society?
When the interests of the collective are consistent, both will prosper and suffer.
There will definitely be people who will lose more, and there will definitely be people who will lose the least, or even no losses at all.
For truly social animals, all creation is public and there is no concept of private ownership.
Private ownership originated from the elimination of people's need for food in early life.
He who does not try to possess food will starve to death.
Possessiveness is naturally eliminated.
To use the derogatory description favored by literary scholars, it’s called “bestiality.”
This is an instinct ingrained in human genes.
Yao Yan looked down at the demon city that had expanded to the size of the "city cluster" he was familiar with during his lifetime.
In the society of demons, there is no such thing as "private ownership".
The material they received was distributed according to the amount they needed.
The logic of "I took it back with my own hands and made it myself, so it belongs to me" does not exist.
Allocate according to demand.
If the physical labor is high, give more food and enough rest time to fully recover. If the risk is high, give enough resources to recover from injury.
The number of universal cells of the demons allows them to recover from most traumas.
For them, disability is not a big harm.
Humans may mistake the difference between needs and wants, but demons don't.
Depending on the job classification, the items given will be different, and the distribution will not be based on your will and will only be calculated based on actual consumption.
Is mental work more noble than physical work?
Those were the thoughts and values of the human world during Yao Yan's lifetime, not the thoughts of "human beings" in this world, not the thoughts of demons, and not the values of this demon city.
Due to the desire to possess resources rooted in human genes, the desire for self-protection extends from oneself to the things one possesses, including physical objects and status.
Self-positioning, self-understanding.
This is where the feeling of superiority comes from.
The first group of people who were separated from manual labor production did not need to perform "manual labor".
Beginning with class division, the shaping of the social status of physical and mental work begins.
Another source.
The desire to possess resources is not only experienced in actual materials.
In someone's mind, the structure of "relationships between people" is very complex.
However, in the human body, the physiological structure that records this relationship "belongs to oneself."
The "relationship" with his brother, sister, family, and friends belongs to this person.
The ties of this relationship are managed by possessiveness.
And possessiveness will expand.
A person connected by the bond of this relationship belongs to him physically and physiologically, just like the bond.
Human thinking and judgment are the product of the conflict between instinctive desires and "rationality" formed by empirical logic.
So, in principle, increasing the weight of instinct and increasing the frequency and scale of possessiveness in physiological judgment and decision-making can affect a person's thinking.
Yao Yan decided to start from this angle.
The true social nature of demons leads them to distribute according to their needs and decide what they can get based on their work needs.
There are some subtle similarities with the world of the previous pen writer.
Although careful comparison will reveal huge differences, if you go through it with the "simplification" methods that people are accustomed to, it will be "almost".
In Majin City, work determines what can be distributed.
If you put the structure of the demon city into the world of the author, it will become——
There is no such thing as money in society, and you can’t buy anything if you have money.
Everything is distributed according to the job. Want a wrench?
If you want to get access to wrenches, you can only work as a plumber or various mechanical repair industries.
Likewise, their various items used to protect the body are not accessible to others.
Private transactions are also not allowed.
After all, this is the private occupation and disposal of public property.
Even if it is damaged, it must be returned to the agency responsible for distribution. Depending on the degree of damage, the best solution is to determine whether to repair or dismantle it.
During his lifetime, Yao Yan had a theory of hierarchy of needs that had a wide influence.
Physiological needs to maintain individual survival.
Ensure safety and stability and avoid security needs from fear threats.
The love and belonging needs of establishing emotional connections with other individuals and establishing a sense of belonging in a group.
Respect needs for affirmation of intrinsic value and recognition of external achievements.
The need for self-realization, to fully realize one's potential and to fulfill one's ideals and ambitions.
Finally, there is the need for creative self-transcendence that is higher than self-realization by breaking through one's existing experience.
In terms of physiological motivations, the first two are manifestations of self-protection and possessiveness.
Article 456 is the social manifestation of social animals. Only animals that rely on and control other individuals will stay in the group.
Naturally, this also includes the lack of security. Even if they hate the group, it is also because of "life", because the sense of security drives them to stay in the group.
As mentioned just now, the relationship between an individual and others, including group relationships, is physiological and physical. The body considers this relationship to be "owned" and "belongs to itself".
In order to protect one's own life, one must "disguise" in order to survive.
Yao Yan needs to shake the foundation of the demon society, so he needs to make the abnormal individuals he created learn to conceal their own purpose and learn the behavior attitude of "compromise even if dissatisfied".
Otherwise, the abnormal individuals he created will be discovered soon.
The demons cannot directly read the functions of different genes.
They also rely on experience and memory to distinguish what kind of genes have what kind of functions, and have a reference table in their minds.
Yao Yan needs to use this reference table to disguise the abnormal things he created as "safe" as much as possible.
However, disguise is not the only means.
Another thing he learned from his memories before his death and the world before his death is "excessive" and "compromise".
Sometimes people like to simplify and say some "almost" words as one meaning, such as compromise is indulgence.
This is a simple reference table that people vaguely summarize from their living environment.
It is said that compromise often leads to indulgence, but they do not know what degree of compromise and what amount of compromise will lead to indulgence.
It is just vaguely stated as "compromise is indulgence".
Similarly, there are descriptions such as "radicalism is destruction".
Among the soldiers in the demon city, the demon individuals whose jobs are external destruction and fighting tend to have stronger offensive behaviors.
He doesn't need to add anything extra, he just needs to transplant the functions of these soldiers to some demon individuals who don't have to, don't need to, and shouldn't engage in confrontational behaviors.
Yao Yan's thoughts moved quickly as he planned every step.
