Chapter 253 The Result of Utopianism
Time passed slowly, and not long after the meeting between Mei and Canary and the others ended, there was chaos in the western district of Hakoniwa.
Speaking of the west area of the small garden, originally, it was in a state of being divided among the Greek gods, the Roman gods, the Celtic gods, and the gods of Ulster. area
But now, there is a danger of destruction here.
"...It seems that the West District has begun to lock down."
But Canary, who arrived ahead of schedule with his companions, couldn't help but think when he saw this scene.
After all, Canary has already been informed in advance by Mei and Shiroyasha, who have read the script, the real body of this final human trial.
"...Your enemy this time is a concept called dystopia."
Thinking back to the words that Mei and Shiroyasha taught before leaving this time.
Mei, in particular, is more outspoken.
"...Of course, if the essence of dystopia is investigated, then what is utopia in detail."
At that time, May's words could be said to have completely revealed some truths.
"As the name suggests, utopia is the most beautiful society in human ideology, just like the "utopian socialism" in the early Western times, the utopian socialist society proposed by the French philosopher Louis Braun: beautiful, equal, without oppression, like a paradise, utopia Love in the form of love is wonderful. Utopianism is a type of social theory that attempts to facilitate certain desirable values and practices by presenting them in an ideal state or society."
Speaking of which, May also cited a few examples.
Time comes to 494 BC, the army of Persian king Darius wrecked and destroyed the city of Miller between Harikanas and Ephesus. So the previous inhabitants asked the architect Hippadamus (us) to rebuild the city in one go. At that time, this was an unprecedented situation. Until then, cities were little more than small towns slowly expanding in clutter. Atenes, for example, is made up of a jumble of paths, like a maze that no one has ever gone through. To be responsible for the overall construction of a medium-sized city. It's like creating an ideal city on a blank sheet of paper.
Hippodamos got a windfall. He designed the first rigorously conceived city.
Hippodamos did not want to sketch only roads and houses. He believed that when considering the shape of a city, social life could also be considered.
He envisioned a city of 10,000 inhabitants. These inhabitants were divided into three classes: artisans, peasants, and soldiers.
Hippodamos wanted to build a man-made city without anything natural. In the center of the city is an Acropolis, cut into 12 parts, like a castle divided into 12 parts. The roads in New Miller City are straight, the squares are round, and all the houses are strictly separated so that there is no jealousy among the neighbors.
In addition, all residents are equal. There are no slaves there.
Hippodamos also didn't want an artist. He believes that the artist department is difficult to figure out and is the seed of chaos. Poets, actors, and musicians were all expelled from Miller City. The city also does not allow poor people, bachelors and idlers.
"...This, although in the eyes of later generations, has many shortcomings, it can indeed be said to be the earliest utopia that human beings tried to build."
However, when it came to this, May felt that it was not clear enough at the time, so as I said before, he gave a few more examples, among which there are more modern examples.
In other words, in 1968, the Bangladeshi philosopher Sri Aurobindo Gauss and the French female philosopher Mila Alfassa (the mistress) set out to start a new project in Dawn City (Dawn City is located near Pondisheri, India, which is a historical One of the most meaningful utopian commune practices.) Create an ideal village. According to their design, it should look like a galaxy, with light emitting from the central spherical part, illuminating all parts of the village. Two philosophers are waiting for people from all over the world to come. Later, it was mainly Europeans who were looking for absolute utopia.
The men and women of the commune built windmills, built craft workshops, dug canals, built a brick factory and an information center, and planted crops in the dry climate. "Mother" wrote several books during this period, detailing her thoughts and experiences.
Everything is getting closer and closer to the ideal of utopia, until one day, some members ask to honor the "mistress" as a goddess in her lifetime. "Mother" politely declined the honor. But at that time, Sri Aurobindo had passed away, and no one was by her side to support her anymore. The "Mother" is powerless to defy the will of these worshipers.
They imprisoned her in the room and decided that since the "mistress" didn't want to be the goddess of life, let her be the goddess of death. Maybe she didn't realize the quality of God in her,
But in the eyes of others, she has always been a goddess.
"Mother" looked very depressed in the last days of her life, as if she had suffered a major blow. Whenever she wanted to mention the various abuses she was subjected to by her admirers in confinement,
