Crossover in the Anime World

Human cognition is limited, not only in the era of Mana Ecology, but also in the old era.

In the era of Mana ecology, humans may evolve into beings without bodies and emotions.

Just like all the humans in "Neon Genesis Evangelion" have turned into orange juice, and their consciousnesses have all become one, which may be a better result. But resolutely maintaining the original body and rejecting other people's minds will only lead to ignorance and backwardness, and hinder evolution.

Just like when the steam engine was improved, slavery still existed. But history proves that the steam engine will eventually defeat slavery and become a brand new option.

Slavery also resisted and had its glory days. Because steam engines were really hard to use at first, slaves were much more efficient than steam engines. But times are developing and technology is advancing. With the iterative development of steam engines, machines eventually surpassed slaves.

There are also electric lights. Before Edison improved the electric light, the life of the electric light was very short, far less than kerosene lamps and candles. Manufacturers of kerosene lamps and candles could also laugh at the antics of electric light. But with the continuous iterative development of electric light technology, the era of electric lights finally arrived.

For another example, after the invention of movable type printing, block printing was still the mainstream. Until the invention of more powerful metal movable type printing, block printing was eventually eliminated.

When a new technology is invented, it is not easy to use and is even ridiculed. It requires continued investment of funds, investment in talents, and continuous updates and iterations to finally surpass the old technology.

When people use the convenience brought by mature technologies, they always laugh at immature new technologies, but they never think that the mature technologies they use were also ridiculed back then.

There is a saying that really applied: Only after you climb this mountain will someone listen to your story.

If new technology cannot surpass old technology, people will not admit it and will only laugh at it. Only when new technologies surpass old technologies will everyone listen to the stories of new technologies.

Sometimes the development of new technologies is simply unstoppable, and humans have no choice but to adapt.

Mana ecology is like this, and human evolution may be like this too.

After Mark heard what Dulan said, he couldn't help but start to wonder if he was right to hate Mana Ecology so much? Perhaps what he is doing now is hindering the evolution of mankind, and he is a sinner of mankind.

Mark looked at the scenery outside the lighthouse in silence, and fell into deep thought with Duran.

"Donnie, your thoughts are really profound." Mark sighed: "Then have you reached a conclusion? Is what we are doing right or wrong? Should human beings remain the same, or should we The ecology of obedience to Mana has changed? What should we do?”

Humans are so small. The earth has existed for at least 4 billion years, life has been born for at least 500 million years, dinosaurs have existed for at least 200 million years, and humans have only existed for a few million years. There are murals that are 50,000 years old, and there are texts. The record is only three thousand years old. Human history is so short, and human cognition is so limited. We cannot predict the future, and we do not know whether our current actions are right or wrong for the future.

"Don't worry, there will always be good people and bad people in this world. In this case, it doesn't matter if we are bad people." Duran said: "Good or bad will be judged by future generations. We just do things."

"You are really seeking truth from facts." Mark was not so calm. If he did something wrong, he would be infamy for ever. But I can't predict the future. No matter what I choose, it's only a 50-50 chance, and half of them may become bad guys. A lot of pressure.

Dulan glanced at Mark and found that the other person was struggling. He thought that he had successfully made the protagonist have self-doubt again, which was very good.

Mark is really entangled. He has always believed that what he did was the right thing and was beneficial to human survival, but it was his own opinion from beginning to end. But he is just a person, an ordinary person. He does not know the whole picture of the earth or the principles of Mana ecology. He is just a summer insect, laughing at people who have seen the ice.

Just because you haven’t seen ice doesn’t mean there is no ice. Ice does exist, but it is too small to see.

So is Mana ecology a force that helps human evolution? Is it just that human beings are too small and only see part of it, so they think that Mana Ecology is the enemy? Maybe my perception is completely a misjudgment.

Only seeing part of it can easily lead to misjudgment.

For example, in many news photos, part of them is cut off, causing misunderstandings.

For example, a gun is held to a head, which seems to be the content of a shooting. But looking at the panoramic photo, in fact, the gun and the head are misaligned. This is not a shooting, but a soldier delivering water to someone, and the head being pressed is drinking water. There is no fear at all.

For example, if you see someone giving a middle finger, but if you look at him from another angle, he is actually not giving a middle finger, but making a v sign.

There is also a shot from the back of a migrant worker kneeling, but as long as you go around to the front, you will know that this is a migrant worker learning rescue knowledge, with a dummy placed in front of him. He was kneeling to perform compressions on a dummy and learn CPR.

There are too many local misjudgments, and journalists will even deliberately conceal the overall situation and use local information to fan the flames.

By showing only parts, concealing the whole, creating information gaps. If you only look at part of it, it's really confusing. But if you look at the overall situation, you will know that this is actually a very common thing, nothing special at all, and it cannot even be called news.

It can be said that there is no news and only news is made.

This also illustrates the dangers of knowing only part of the story.

But the problem is that it is too difficult to understand the overall situation. Human abilities are limited and it is impossible to understand the overall situation. There is no time machine that allows people to predict the future or go back to the past.

News is like paintings on the beach. When the tide comes in, the seawater will flood the beach and clean up the paintings on the beach. The same is true for news. Once it happens, it is over and gone. There may be only a photo left but no other evidence.

So whoever controls the photo has the right to speak. If photos cannot fully restore the entire event, then everyone can only tell by looking at the pictures. If the photo is intercepted again, it will definitely be a big mistake to talk about it.

This can also be extended to the entire history.

History has happened, just like a beach washed by the tide, the traces on the beach have disappeared. In the end, only words are left in history, and words are fragments of the lives of historical figures, which can be intercepted with ulterior motives.

It can be inferred from this that the history we see is all meaningless, all fake, and all carefully edited, so historical nihilism appears.

right? Yes, history is definitely incomplete and distorted. The truth about historical figures may be completely opposite to history. A good person may be recorded as a bad person, and a bad person may be recorded as a good person.

For good people, only record the wrong things they did, not the good things. For bad people, only record when they are friendly and harmonious, not when they commit crimes. There is no falsification, just partial records, which can confuse right and wrong.

But history is not empty. There is no point in arguing about the authenticity of history. There must be a large number of partial records in history, and it is impossible to restore the original appearance. But history is still very important. Historical events are not complete, but why the people who recorded history recorded it in this way is very important.

This is what the so-called subtle words mean. History is too short to understand the whole picture, but why is it recorded in this way? What is the purpose of recording it in this way? This can be analyzed.

Who writes history? What is the class position of these people? We can see from recorded history what they support and what they oppose. Think further about why they support and why they oppose it. From the class of historical recorders to the classes they support and the classes they oppose, the general trend of history is revealed.

Through the incomplete history, we can think about the position of the historical recorders and deduce the ideological struggle that took place at that time. This must be what really happened in history and cannot be faked.

For example, Confucian classics and Mohist's "Fei Ru", non-Confucianism is to criticize Confucianism. The sage Yao, Shun, and Yu in "Historical Records" and the mortal Yao, Shun, and Yu in "Bamboo Chronicles"...

These confrontations have indeed existed in history, and they are the main line of historical trends.
