Chapter 273 Five Floating 110 Moments

Inside the Hongjing Detention Center, police officers are installing a TV.

Lin Chen's promise to Shen Lian never thought of avoiding it from the very beginning.

Shen Lian crossed her legs, like a cute little girl, looking forward to watching the black screen light up as soon as possible.

"Where did I say..." Lin Chen was distracted because he turned back, so he suddenly asked.

Shen Lian raised her shackled hand, pinched her thumb and forefinger together, pretending to pull out a slender thread, but did not speak.

Lin Chen nodded: "In the beginning, after experiencing the choice of the real moral dilemma, I was very at a loss, in order to fill my ignorance, I read a lot of books discussing the origin of morality and human psychological evolution, but I didn't read it. The more I have, the more at a loss I am. The fairness, justice, freedom, rationality, kindness, beauty that I believe in... Are these things real, or just made up by people looking for some words to maintain human society. something that appears."

He talked about it, and did not shy away from this experience. In fact, at that time, he thought that if he wanted to defeat the opponent, he had to solve the answer, but everyone knew that no one could solve the real answer.

Shen Lian sat with his arms crossed, the contempt in his eyes was obvious. A person with a firm belief like Shen Lian should look down on someone who is not firm like him.

"Some philosophical people choose to commit suicide, which is probably the reason. The aimless state of chaos is too easy to be overwhelmed." Lin Chen put his hands on the table and said casually: "It is reasonable, I should also Suicide. But until one day, I suddenly realized, why do I have to find a definite answer?" He looked at Shen Lian and smiled, "Look, this is the fundamental difference between me and him."

"The social contract, the natural law, the collective unconscious, the selfish gene... I can recognize and understand many points of view, and I also understand the criticism of these points of view, so I am at a loss, I can't find anything absolutely correct. But he Different, he is a paranoid, he looks through the history of human evolution and finds what he approves, he takes it as a life-saving straw, holds it as the truth, and instills it in you, he desperately needs to be recognized by the people he defines as his own kind. point of view, he even needs the society he resists to agree with his point of view. Facing such a lunatic, what an ignorant and incompetent person like me can do..." Lin Chen paused, he looked at Shen Lian, and said, "I All I can do is figure out what I'm good at what he believes in, what he's thinking, what he's going to do, and... beat him."

The interrogation room was really small, with gray walls, and his voice dissipated cleanly when it hit the walls.

The clouds outside the iron window seemed to be stagnant, and the surroundings were so silent that there was no sound.

"Pfft."

Shen Lian smiled.

The woman looked at him with the eyes of the oyster, and Lin Chen thought it was normal.

He said: "He uses the isomer of TERN to prove the biological necessity of so-called criminal behavior, and he uses the trolley problem before everyone to prove the widespread selfishness of human beings. He wants to prove that in matters of personal interest, , the morals that most people in this society hold in their hearts are false and shattered with a single blow. This is an obvious motive, but... Then what?" Lin Chen's fingertips were broken between him and Shen Lian. He tapped on the table and said, "It proves that the solid social contract between people in this society will not really be broken into powder because of a madman's game. So until I saw the 'balance game on a wire' 'Before this word, I couldn't understand what he wanted." Lin Chen paused, his expression suddenly stern, "It turns out that he is even crazier than I thought."

...

Hongjing Municipal Bureau, Command Room.

Xing Conglian is not very good at doing this kind of thing, but Lin Chen is struggling and trying to break Chen Lian's spiritual belief little by little, so he must take on something else.

Pointing at the glass pane, he said, "The original meaning of the word is a hypothesis, referring specifically to a delicate moment in the history of human moral evolution. For example, put aside all the concepts in your mind about modern society, there are no high-rise buildings. Without golden clothes and jade food, we go back to Africa 45,000 years ago, when Homo sapiens in Africa were anatomically modern humans." He paused, then added, "Yes, that's right, and We are modern people like us."

Xing Cong pointed at everyone in the room and said, "We are all in the same group, but we didn't have the same moral and legal concepts as we do now. We look similar to chimpanzees. I'll kill you if I'm a woman, there's nothing wrong with that. There's a belief that genetic selfishness makes us act selfishly. At the time, each of us was a natural 'egoist'. But over time, living in There are more and more people in the group, and mistakes are made.”

"I am strong and powerful, and can kill others at will, which seriously threatens your safety. There is also a supporter standing behind me, and the two sides are in a confrontation. At this time, the highly respected Minister Shen stood up and spoke, telling everyone that I You deserve to die. As the rest of the clan, you have long been overwhelmed, and you have united to kill or expel me and my supporters. Accept Minister Shen's call to stand up to my warriors, loyal, brave, and compassionate And so on, these people are 'altruists'."

“Wave after wave of extremists are eliminated, and ethnic groups are gradually stabilized, more competitive because of stability, and therefore better able to reproduce and grow, which is the result of natural selection. The definition of morality is also through altruism. The reproduction of human beings is gradually fixed, rules and laws appear in human beings, and social contracts come from this, which is the group selection theory of the origin of morality." Xing Conglian said here, looked at everyone present, and said solemnly, "But, this Is everything really the inevitable result of natural selection?"

He did not give everyone present time to think, and asked directly and simply: "Is there a dangerous moment in the process of human evolution, the 'egoist' force I represent and the 'altruist' force you represent A delicate balance has been formed. This is the moment of life and death, when either side has the upper hand, society will form two completely different conditions. If you win, the society will become what you want it to be; and if I succeed, the offspring that carry my genes It will bring the entire human society to the abyss I expect."

With his hands in his pockets, he said extremely coldly, "This is the balance on the wire. It is truly a great moment that determines the future social form of mankind."

...

A remote control was put down in front of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen picked up the remote control, nodded his thanks to the police officer, and asked Shen Lian, "So, what is his purpose?"

He asked, then replied: "I don't think his purpose is to create this moment at once, he thinks more deeply, what he wants to do is to provide a great possibility for the recurrence of this moment in the future."

"He's going to plant a seed of selfishness in everyone's heart."

"This seed is planted in the hearts of the choosers, in the hearts of the abstainers, and even in the hearts of the observers, and the seed is multiplied and multiplied by human beings from generation to generation, and is created in the future for all the extreme egoists like you who are not tolerated by society.a possibility."

"One day, the egoist group will eventually grow to an incomparably terrifying scale, and at that moment, mankind will usher in the balance game on the wire again, and once again have the opportunity to choose destiny."

"This is what he really wants to do."
