Crow's Paradise

Yao Yan turned his gaze and saw that the somewhat familiar voice was, as expected, the detective with the magic eye he had seen before.

When the two people's eyes were focused on him, the magic-eyed man smiled and took out a round cardboard with an eye-shaped mark on it, like a business card, from his jacket pocket:

"Central City District 2, the fourth detective agency from left to right on Sanyan Street. Of course, you can also just call it No. 122."

"Lost property search, case investigation, affair investigation, any investigation you are hired to do, I, Arnold, can handle it."

The magic-eyed man smiled and handed the round business card into his and the vulture man's paws.

"Arnold?"

Yao Yan took the business card with a somewhat "special" shape.

This was special, just to him. The vulture man next to him just glanced at it twice and put it into his pocket.

Yao Yan also put the thing in his pocket after remembering the above content.

Then he returned to the topic:

"I live in the third district. Do you think the rat race is dangerous to me?"

Yao Yan used the reasons he made up and began to delve deeper into the topic of rat people:

"Don't you know about the previous case where the rat man bit the victim to death after robbing him?"

"Sorry, I really don't know."

Regarding Yao Yan's anger, the magic-eyed man immediately apologized without sincerity. After looking at the corridor in front of the forensic identification center, he took out his pipe and stuffed a small amount of shredded tobacco and green tobacco into it. Behind the blade, he bit the cigarette holder. After lighting the pipe, he took a deep breath and sighed in a slightly erratic voice:

"Why should I care about cases that have nothing to do with me? It would be better to die more, right? I will have a lot more work, and so will you."

As he spoke, the one eye on his face looked at Yao Yan:

"After a while, I can move into District 1."

This completely different temperament from before made Yao Yan shut his mouth.

It seems that under this world view, the values ​​​​of people in this world have completely tended to be individualistic.

No, this is no longer the category of individualism. It has crossed over to egoism, right?

He looked at the magic-eyed detective Arnold indifferently.

The information he bought from Lao Jia made him understand the importance of deciphering the worldview and why he should decipher the worldview.

In a society, values ​​such as egoism, which center on self-interest and do not care about harming others as long as it is beneficial to oneself, can be said to be the least new thing.

But, again, nothing in society is without a reason.

He said that the familiar human society is due to the fact that in natural life, in order to compete for limited resources, the group of people who are best at possessing and snatching resources survive and reproduce, and gradually "self-interest" becomes the component of personal social relations. The most important core value.

However, the question is "what is interest".

There should be nothing wrong with classifying life into the category of “profit.”

Some people will object to the inclusion of dignity in the category of "interests". They think that the price of dignity is relatively low, or even of zero value and can be thrown away casually.

Then there are friendships and family ties, which are relationships between oneself and others. Are they considered interests?

Self-interest, many people are familiar with this word, but they are not aware that one of the most critical issues is what counts as "self-interest".

What are your own interests?

For the sake of the group, the purpose is also to enable oneself to rely on the group to survive or obtain greater benefits.

Although some people may misjudge and regard their own or others' self-interested ideas as collective supremacy, there is nothing wrong with the course of action if their judgment is wrong.

Because collective expansion and growth will bring them a better life and allow them to gain greater benefits.

However.

This theory is not correct either.

After all, people are not automatic machines pursuing benefits. They will make misjudgments and misattribute certain beliefs to form "ideas", which will eventually become entangled into an idea, which is human "free will".

If you carefully observe the changes in your mentality when you argue with others, you can sometimes find that the reason why you argue with the other party is not because of "right or wrong."

But because "my thoughts have been denied", "my thoughts have been damaged", "I want to protect my interests"——

Based on this self-protective logical chain that is difficult to detect, under the backfire effect, people who have conflicting ideas will become hostile to them, thereby further safeguarding their own beliefs.

Human beings are a complex collection of minds.

It's like a simple operation. If you put different multiplication, division, addition and subtraction symbols on it at will, and the order of filling in the numbers is different, it will lead to different results.

If there are some differences in a judgment process, the derived results will also be different.

However, it is often difficult for people themselves to realize this, and they cannot quantify it clearly enough to grasp their own problems.

Under unclear judgment standards, in the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division that are performed all the time, the results are obtained unconsciously.

And things that can affect these

It is the source of all information around you.

Whether it is observation, listening, speaking, reading, receiving information, or making judgments, influencing factors exist in all aspects.

In general, it can be described in the rough scope of "social culture" which is too general to be more general.

In this world, under the intervention of the writers of this era, what will happen when consciousness transfer allows a person to easily change his identity?

The human beings that Yao Yan knew were quite selfish creatures, a nature determined by their physiological structure and the history of biological formation over the past countless years.

If only rights were given, humans would use them without restriction.

Adding restrictions such as obligations, then humans will begin to weigh the cost-effectiveness and find an acceptable cost-effectiveness to use rights.

Values ​​will change during this trade-off process and then solidify in this form over a period of time.

When he receives information that does not arouse overly strong self-protection touches, he will slowly incorporate this new information into his own values ​​and begin a long integration process.

Of course Yao Yan didn't know what the human thinking model was like.

Inserting a standard into different locations in the mental model will yield different results.

With the simplest linear model - first priority and second priority, the impact on human decision-making is clear enough.

But if it is a flat model, or even a three-dimensional model, what changes will happen to human decision-making?

When he really started to make judgments, Yao Yan truly understood how difficult it was to complete the three-dimensional analysis of an individual.

There are too many related items and distracting items.

So, should it be simplified?

You know, in the birth process of "Rumor", the operation of "simplification" can be said to be one of the great powers.

However, he had to simplify.

Even if he knew that the same "egoistic" judgment would have many differences in details, Yao Yan could only choose to ignore these details that did not involve other core points.

To go further, he needed to look further at the template.

and

If you use detectives well, you can continue to use them in other places in the world.

Yao Yan opened his mouth and said:

"Then, before my wing injury heals, investigate and find a way for me to avoid the Ratmen and Rats and allow me to return to my residence safely. What is the price for such a commission?"

His pair of crow eyes stared at the one-eyed eyeball of the magic-eyed detective.

If the other party is a contaminant or a container, maybe he should call the other party:

Unbelievers.

However, the answer seems to be no.

This one seems not qualified enough.

Although the other party's "self-positioning" is small enough, it still does not break away from the category of being shaped by self-positioning.
