Zhang Yuan ignored the people who were in a daze, and continued: "After having the most basic morality, the next second step is to establish a modular thinking system. To explain this aspect, it is to fill in the big frame more completely. content……"

"The first is a big goal, to find surprises in the universe. We have given some definitions for this big goal of civilization, including what is surprise, what is a small probability event, what is unknown, and what kind of things will make us feel happy... ..."

"The pursuit of curiosity is our driving force."

"This big goal is what everyone must have, so that civilization cohesion can be formed."

This kind of definition will affect the way people behave, and even the way of entertainment will be rewritten. There is no doubt that it is extremely important. In the past, human beings would feel happy when they secreted a little dopamine in their brains, but in the later human beings, the mechanism of happiness will also be reshaped.

There is a dense list on the screen, one of which is "discovering and exploring unknown knowledge", as well as finding new and interesting small probability events in the universe, discovering some unique civilizations, and saving the civilization of the fallen The self-rescuers in and so on...

These are the contents recognized by the general public.

Looking at the audience in the audience, Zhang Yuan continued: "In addition to the big goals, there are also small personal goals. This small goal varies from person to person and can be set by one's own preferences. It is mainly to ensure civilized thinking. Variety. Here, we have made a series of thinking modules that can be customized."

The so-called free setting means that you can decide your own personality, which can be extroverted, kind, cheerful, active, enthusiastic, amiable, or dull, cautious, carefree, etc.

Then add some personal hobbies, like sports, art, games, writing...

These small goals are presented in a modular form and can be selected by themselves before the experiment.

Even after experimentation, if you are not satisfied, you can iteratively revise. In the concept of modular thinking, all things are like building blocks and can be divided. At any time, one piece of content can be transferred and exchanged for another piece.

"In other words, a person can set the modified personality to be similar to his own before the experiment."

This is an excellent point, because what everyone fears most is a huge change in character. People would be horrified if the personalities were completely different before and after the experiment.

Now that people are given a free choice, the fear factor has undoubtedly been reduced a lot.

Seeing that everyone was contemplating it, Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "The last thing I want to tell you is that after completing this setting, human beings will still lose a lot of emotions, including various physical desires. So It’s still different before and after the renovation.”

"Traditional human beings eat when they are hungry, drink water when they are thirsty, feel joy when they reap love, and get angry when they are offended. These behaviors are the original philosophical system. After modification, these contents will be greatly simplified. After all-round transformation, there is no need to eat at all, and behaviors such as reproduction are also changed. Therefore, humans will no longer be humans.”

"There is also a huge uncontrollable risk: after the transformation, due to changes in our thinking patterns, we may 'disagree' with the thinking modules we chose before the transformation."

"This possible disapproval is impossible to predict. Can everyone accept it?"

After saying this, the conference room fell into silence again.

This uncontrollable risk is a bit of a mouthful to understand. To put it simply, in the first stage, most people will set the characters before and after the transformation to be similar.

But because the thinking mode after the transformation has changed, perhaps the human beings at this stage will think that the optimism, cheerfulness and other emotions recognized in the past are irrelevant, so they have changed themselves again.

This is the second stage of self-transformation.

Just like building blocks, the building blocks built in different periods and age groups are completely different. The same is true for new generations of humans.

This is followed by the third stage and the fourth stage of self-reform. With the substantial increase in the speed of thinking and the change in the quality of thinking, this change will become larger and larger, and it will become more and more unlike human beings in the traditional sense.

When conventional human beings see stage 4 self-modifying humans, it is possible to think them strange and frightening.

There is no way to eliminate this risk, nor can it be predicted. It is impossible for human beings to set their minds so that they can only be transformed once. If they are really set this way, it will only hinder their own room for improvement. Moreover, smarter humans in the future are fully capable of skipping these settings.

By the same token, people have no way of predicting how humans in the third and fourth stages will think... Thinking is inherently unpredictable.

"Professor Zhang, I still have a question!" It was Captain Feng who spoke, and she raised her hand and asked, "In the new thinking framework, can we completely fill in the original genetic philosophy content? In this way , won’t this problem be solved?”

"Maybe in the future." Zhang Yuan replied: "But not now, we don't have such technical strength. The more content is filled in the framework, the greater the possibility of defects, which will lead to accelerated thinking. defect……"

"With the current modular processing method, the workload is already very large and difficult."

"I really can't sort out the messy thinking that I used to have."

Hemisphere civilization is a mandatory memory instillation, so the processing speed is very fast. The human model is almost tailor-made, and each individual has to be carefully analyzed, which is extremely complex.

According to the current productivity of Unreal Labs, it takes a lot of effort to transform only one hundred people a year. If the productivity does not increase, it may take tens of millions of years to completely transform 1 billion people!

Of course, Zhang Yuan is not urgent about the development of productivity, because as long as some people are transformed and their thinking speed is greatly improved, the productivity will definitely be improved.

Zhang Yuan opened his hands and made several gestures: "If we really become a fifth-level civilization in the future, we are familiar enough with this set of explorations, and our intelligence improves, and we can indeed fill back all the original content of genetic philosophy. But I don't think the probability of this happening is very high..."

"Because I just explained that at that time, our fundamental thinking has undergone fundamental changes. Everything that was cherished in childhood and a little bit of experience accumulated through hard work, when we grow up, we will only think that these cherished It’s kind of stupid. Maybe, it’s a good experience, but it’s not necessarily going to go back.”

"Some people who have become rich occasionally miss the hard work of the poor and humble period, but if they want to go back to the past, then there is a high probability that they are unwilling."

"Of course, what I'm talking about here is high probability, and some small probability events cannot be ruled out. It is impossible for us to guess what human beings will think at that time. So you don't have to have too many illusions."

Zhang Yuan's tone was cold, but it was also true.
