Chu Ge was puzzled by this question.

Dr. Li Xinlian looked at him with sarcasm, and said with a sneer: "I've said so much, but you still don't understand, you haven't seriously thought about the meaning of the 'immortal man' appearing in this world, and how powerful it will be. Where will the storm lead our civilization—lead us to create an unprecedented era of glory, or turn the entire earth into a Shura hell that turns the entire earth into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

"Then, from now on, please rack your brains and think carefully about this issue.

"You must know that our entire human civilization on the earth, our social form, technological development, and moral laws are all based on the premise of 'human beings are always going to die'.

"Because of 'people are always going to die', those chiefs, kings, presidents and leaders can use violence to suppress the vast majority of the people and establish powerful countries one after another.

"Because of 'people are always going to die', in order to provide a consoling answer to the destination after death, human beings have invented so many religions by deceiving themselves and others, and even evolved different nations, countries and camps around these religions.

"Because of 'people are always going to die', the law has sufficient deterrence, whether it is the death penalty or imprisonment, it is directly or indirectly depriving people of all or part of their lives, and life is the most precious and above all else , something that cannot be measured by any equivalent.

"Because of 'people are always going to die', we have formed all kinds of tacit understandings called 'morality'. In most moral systems, it is always immoral to endanger the lives of others, and it is immoral to help others." It is always noble to get rid of the threat of death. We praise heroes but criticize villains. Heroes are often "not afraid of sacrifice and forgetting death", while villains are often associated with "greed for life and fear of death".

"Even, just because 'people are always going to die', and our selfish genes have a strong urge to replicate and spread, so we will be interested in the opposite sex, willing to give up our own enjoyment, to bear unnecessary hard work , taking unnecessary risks just to raise cubs, and cubs of cubs, so that our genes, can be passed on forever.

"Look, everything in human civilization, even the definition of 'human being' itself, is based on the unassailable truth that 'individuals are bound to perish'.

"Once the truth is no longer the truth, can human beings and civilization, these two concepts like castles in the air, continue to exist and remain unchanged?"

Chu Ge fell into deep thought.

He had never thought about such an absurd question.

Because "man is inherently mortal" is the same as "sunrise and sunset", it is a matter of course and eternal.

"Humanity attains immortality" is as much a worrying mind game as "the sun will never rise again".

But now...

"One of the simplest consequences, you know, since human civilization entered the industrialized age, as the famine problem was solved and medical technology was greatly improved, the phenomenon of population explosion gradually appeared, but the birth rate continued to decrease."

Dr. Li Xinlian said, "Different from the ancient people who care about family and the afterlife, modern people pay more attention to their own enjoyment in this world. If it is not for the continuation of genes, many people are not willing to have children at all. Even if they want to have children, at most one or two, few people will. Like the ancients, they gave birth to three to five or seven children.

"In the case of genes requiring continuation,

The fertility rate is so low, then, if human beings can really achieve "immortality", in other words, human genes can continue forever without having to give birth to a new generation, at this time, how many people will be willing to live forever for their children? Selfless giving, will the concept of family still exist, and to what extent will the fertility rate plummet? "

This is indeed a problem.

Chu Ge is just in his early twenties, far from the age to consider children.

But through the examples of my mother and Aunt Bai, I can also know that raising children is really hard, especially raising children who are not worry-free like him and Xu Jun.

And if you don't need children, a wife seems to be a dispensable thing.

These days, with the explosion of technology and information, people's desires have also exploded. No matter men or women, the requirements for the opposite sex are getting higher and higher. more and more.

Anyway, with the entertainment industry so developed, single men and women have plenty of ways to pass the time and vent their desires. If everyone is immortal and doesn’t need to raise children to continue their genes, why start a family?

Wait, think about it again, many people work hard just to support their wives and children. If family and offspring are unnecessary things, it seems that struggle itself is no longer a necessity—why bother with "nine-nine-six"? It's like fighting chicken blood, just take a job, anyway, I won't starve to death!

Thinking about it this way, it seems to be quite a serious problem that seven billion people on earth will become immortals.

"Now you should understand what a major change we are facing? Perhaps, Amber should not be called Amber, but 'Pandora', the 'Pandora' of 'Pandora's Box'."

Dr. Li Xinlian continued, "Extending the concept of 'family' to the level of 'country', if the rationality and necessity of the family are at stake under the impact of 'immortality', what about the 'country'?

"The truth is actually the same.

"Those heroes who built and defended a country, why are they willing to risk their lives? It is because they know that their sacrifices can make their genes continue in their blood; and because they know that people are inherently mortal. Not at this moment, but also one day decades later, what they have paid is nothing more than decades.

"But what if their genes don't need to be continued by offspring, as long as they choose to live on the edge of life, they can live for hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of years?

"On the other hand, why is an ambitious soldier willing to obey the general's orders? Because he knows that no matter how powerful the general is, he will eventually grow old and die. As long as the soldier works hard enough, he can change from squad leader to company commander, from company leader The commander becomes the battalion commander, the regiment commander, the brigade commander, the division commander, and the army commander. No matter how bleak the hope is, there is always a one-in-a-billion chance that he will become the new general.

"But what if the old general never dies?

"The old general will never die, or even never grow old. He will always occupy the position of the general, and the soldiers below will never be able to rise to the top. How can the soldiers have the motivation to fight hard?

"This is true for the army, and it is also true for the people. If the authority of the old, rich, and academic circles never dies, they can always steal high positions, occupy most of the resources, and draw the advantage between them and ordinary people. Getting bigger and bigger, ordinary people will never have a bright future!

"'All men are created equal', what a great and moving declaration. Unfortunately, in the history of nearly ten thousand years of human civilization, this declaration has never been realized for even a second. Appearance, health, wisdom, luck, wealth... Every human being is unequal from birth, and it is impossible to change this inequality throughout his life.

"Only one thing is fair.

"There is only one thing that is not hindered by wealth, appearance, religion, and power, and it happens to everyone regardless of gender, poverty, or belief.

"That is death.

"Even if a super rich man like my father spends hundreds of millions or billions, he can only delay his death for a few years at most, and will still face the judgment of death in the end.

"However, many old farmers in mountain villages who are too poor can live longer than him comfortably and easily.

"Death is the only equality.

"Death is the last line.

"It is by virtue of the equality of death that mankind can grudgingly tolerate all other inequalities.

"'So-and-so is more handsome than me, richer than me, more famous than me, more successful than me, can earn billions, tens of billions, so what? Sooner or later, everyone will grow old and die, maybe I Can still live a few years longer than him', it is this kind of thinking that supports most ordinary people to grit their teeth and endure a boring and hard life, watching those successful people who are well-dressed and hugged left and right on TV and the Internet , but insisted on not breaking down.

"Death is like a strong dam or anti-bottom, which firmly suppresses the ugliest desires and most tyrannical impulses of human beings.

"Once the dam collapses and the beast in the hearts of all mankind is released, what will it be like?"
