Crow's Paradise

However, Yao Yan soon discovered a problem.

"stage"

There are obvious stages in the growth and development of the giant dragons.

Unfortunately, these "stages" correspond to the first, second, and third stages of development.

Are there such obvious stage differences in gene expression and biological growth?

It shouldn't be.

Even among the various metamorphosing organisms represented by insects, there are not so obvious distinctions.

There is nothing that Yao Yan himself created but he was not aware of this problem.

On the contrary, in order to increase the growth rate and gain in the early stage, Yao Yan tried his best to destroy the growth progress of the gene when setting the genetic template, so that the growth curve would be advanced.

Especially in the cross-stage secondary development, Yaoyan's goal is to completely destroy this gap.

However, when his reshaped dragon body completed its primary development and was about to enter the stage of secondary development, he discovered that the gap that should have been destroyed had reappeared.

The growth curve that was supposed to be very flat in the early stages of the first two stages has become a structure in which the first half of each stage is easy, and the second half becomes more difficult, especially when it is difficult to cross the gap.

However, Yao Yan soon found the reason.

After all, this is a world condensed by the human spirit.

In the works of his lifetime, there are too many such operations.

Hierarchy.

or.

Recalling the news he received from Lao Jia, about the world being affected by the assimilation of the inmates and its conceptual expression, Yao Yan could not help but repeat in a low voice:

"Class, standards."

Human judgment standards are vague, and "concepts", these structural integrations of thinking, are themselves defined by humans.

"Definition" is an indispensable part of the underlying structure of human thinking, memory, and experience.

Human beings cannot interconnect their minds and transmit their thoughts to the next person without missing a beat.

Human beings will misunderstand things, misunderstand things, and have various situations that affect communication.

Standards emerged "to solve this problem"?

No, it is not that standards emerged to solve this problem, but that humans have tried various methods, but the definition of standards is "one of the most successful methods" and has survived.

People always like to target the results. What happens in society and what impact it has on themselves. Affected by the thinking mechanism created by the physiological mechanism of self-protection, humans will always unconsciously center this impact on themselves. Reformulate.

I'm injured.

The most extreme and superficial one is that it will be paraphrased as "in order to hurt me" or "in order to hurt me".

This kind of psychology is generally called "self-centered".

In the primitive tribal period, sub-adult individuals would be expelled from the group to act alone, which is retained in human genes.

This situation will be especially obvious in the physiological stage of human beings called "adolescence" and "adolescence" in modern times.

The elimination mechanism of genes in human society has been out of touch with nature. The law that those who do not adapt to human society will be eliminated by nature no longer applies in human society.

After the emergence of large-scale social organizational structures such as families and states, the phenomenon that humans will be preserved regardless of their genetic merits has caused problems with human genes.

Even for some people who instinctively reject reproduction and reproduction with the opposite sex, their genes will be preserved due to various circumstances and continue to exist in the human gene pool.

Yao Yan was aware of this instinctive flaw, and his own thinking structure was unable to get rid of the thinking inertia brought about by this thinking structure, but he would pay attention to it.

You will naturally pay attention.

But what he cares more about is what remains in the gene pool, because of the competition for limited resources and the behavior of animals occupying resources.

Based on these genes that ensure survival and allow life to gain advantages and disadvantages in the reproduction process, they all persist in the human gene pool.

Even if there were indeed some individuals in the era during his lifetime who did not compete with other individuals for resources, who had a high propensity for altruism, and who even performed altruistic behaviors at the expense of themselves, they were still able to survive in society.

However, even among them, these genes for altruistic tendencies often exist and remain based on the impact of a certain degree of altruistic behavior in the group on improving their own survival rate, resource occupancy rate, courtship success rate, etc.

The reasons why genes are retained are not good or bad.

But "effective or not."

Human beings like to label the things they like and judge whether they are good or bad.

Even in the face of individuals with extremely altruistic behaviors, there will be cases of rejecting these individuals.

reason?

Because of jealousy? Because other individuals pay attention to and praise these altruists, which may be called jealousy.

Because of possessiveness, because these altruists give themselves too little or nothing.

Because of threats, if the behavior of these altruists spreads and they need to imitate, they will lose their own resources.

Because of empathy.

There are many reasons.

It is naive to think that a good person will not attract hatred.

But when you bring them all together and try to find common ground, you will find that words like "resources", "status", and "identity" tend to appear more often than other words.

Animal instincts arise from the possession of resources, forming a clear concept of "status" among animals living in groups.

People instinctively pursue high status because high status corresponds to more resources.

Even if human beings are rational, they just re-judge the cost-effectiveness based on experience.

The core appeal is still the possession of resources and the extension of the instinct of self-preservation.

In the development of human society, the emergence of status classes is particularly clear.

And status class is also firmly engraved in people's concepts.

In the era in which he lived, most hierarchical standards based on status class frequently appeared in various works of art.

divide into levels, divide into stages, divide into levels

These standards and these levels can subdivide the things that people need to understand to a certain extent, making it easier for them to understand. But at the same time, the instinct to pursue resource possession linked to these standards and these divisions will make them empathize. The heart gets pleasure when the possession of a certain biological resource that it identifies with increases.

To put it simply, when they are "substituted" into a goal, they will get pleasure from the goal's acquisition of more resources and more status, and will be stimulated by the physiological reward mechanism, allowing them to pursue this.

And over and over again, people will gradually become accustomed to "standards" and "stages".

Things should have standards, and things should have stages.

This is already an inherent cognition in the human brain that cannot be removed.

Yao Yan was indifferent.

This is what is called "unexpected and reasonable"
