Chapter 259 The flaws of this society
Ms. Tasia paused and asked, "If your relatives and friends suddenly learn that you are born with memories, what would you think about it? Is there anything that can be improved on this matter?"
Faced with this problem, Zhang Yuan pondered for a while and said: "For the time being, it must be kept confidential, but if the standard of return for extraordinary people is relaxed in the future, the number of people returning from the virtual world will become more and more difficult to keep confidential. This matter can be said to be very big, it will destroy social stability, and it can be said to be very small. The key is the issue of the degree of acceptance of the people."
"I think there needs to be some change in the entire system. People need to gradually accept this matter. This acceptance may take decades..."
Tasia nodded: "What are your special suggestions? We will give feedback to our superiors as appropriate about your suggestions."
Zhang Yuan pondered for a while and said, "From the perspective of the starting point of life, the entire society should make returnees stand on the same starting line as ordinary people as possible. This is actually no big problem."
"But because we are born with memories and experience and mentality far exceed that of normal people, we can easily stand out... Fortunately, the vacant positions in the whole world are larger than the population, so the contradictions in this regard will not be very prominent."
"But we still need to explore another talent training system to adapt to the returnees in these virtual worlds..."
"...Public opinion propaganda is also very important. Now the return of the extraordinary is kept confidential, but one day it will be made public. But it is absolutely inappropriate to make public all of a sudden. Everyone will inevitably panic. People need to accept it slowly and need an opportunity."
"Let me give a simple example. Mr. Zhao Qingfeng, the best-selling cartoonist, is good at cultural creation. His works are deeply loved by teenagers."
"It is difficult for people who have experienced those eras to create such excellent works. This is unique to Zhao Qingfeng and also a hole for publicity. Lao Zhao is already a celebrity on the Internet, with a very high reputation and a large number of fans. Looking for a suitable time to disclose his identity..."
"Then the people will learn, oh, it turns out that the returnees from the Extraordinary Assessment are like this, and they can do some work that others cannot do. This will gradually reduce the panic of ordinary people about the returnees. After all, the panic comes from the unknown, and we just have a richer experience, and it is actually nothing."
"Of course, as for what we were in our lifetime, we should not make it public, and the past stories don't make much sense."
Tasia couldn't help laughing and nodded seriously. Mr. Zhao Qingfeng was just under investigation by her.
Even though his main business is not a cartoonist, but an electric power engineer.
However, this is indeed a good idea. Creating an idol that the public can accept can gradually eliminate the barriers between ordinary people and create a good social atmosphere.
Zhang Yuan continued: "On the other hand, from the perspective of a small family, there is a certain room for improvement. It is best if... there are some younger brothers and sisters who need to take care of us, rather than sisters and brothers who come to take care of us."
Looking back on his two sisters and an older brother, although they took care of Zhang Yuan at the beginning, but now they are getting older, in their thirties and almost forty years old, they are still like children, but they are taken care of by Zhang Yuan. He can't help but feel a little funny.
Zhang Yuan said: "There are also differences between older and younger family love, taking care of and being cared for. If you find that your younger brother who has been caring for a long time and has natural memories, you may feel a little uncomfortable."
"But if you have always taken care of your brother and have natural memories, you will feel that it doesn't seem to be a big deal. Because your brother is older and experiences more, so what if you do? In this way, you can accept it again."
This is a very important suggestion, and everyone present nodded.
The extraordinary people who return will only occupy a small population no matter what they do, and they will all become older people in small families in the future, rather than the current random matching pattern.
Tasia asked, “Can you enjoy this kind of family model?”
Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, after living together for so long, there will always be feelings. Wouldn't people who cannot adapt to lose their own feelings? Life is not a game."
A male colleague around Tasia suddenly asked: "Mr. Zhang, there is another problem. According to the current social promotion mechanism, you are promoted faster than ordinary people. So...will there be a bigger problem when all the top leaders of civilization are controlled by the returnees?"
"For example, the social operation model subverts...there are dictators?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and replied: "It's not that there is no such possibility, but the probability is very low... so small that our society returns to the feudal era."
"Ms. Tasia, we are all people with high civilized contributions in the virtual world, that is, the positive impact is far greater than the negative impact. Why do we unite to destroy a better real world?"
"Also, everyone has their own ideas and positions, and has their own beliefs. If I see Zhao Qingfeng and suddenly want to be the local emperor, I will definitely be the first to jump out and oppose it."
Tasia nodded and asked again, "...Do you think there are any shortcomings in our society at present?"
Zhang Yuan recalled his conversation with John, what he saw and heard over the years, and said, "There are many shortcomings. There is no perfect society. Everything is changing dynamically."
"We are a science and technology society. With technological progress, everything is beautiful. Everyone is full of ideals and willing to fight for it. But what if technology stagnates? It was in a state of great stagnation of technology two hundred years ago, right? However, that group of old people gradually withered, and few people in the society today experience that kind of pain."
"The current smooth sailing has made the new generation more naive, except for a few elites. In fact, it should not be said to be naive, but ambitious and confident, and believe that efforts can bring results. This is a common psychological factor that has emerged under the influence of the times."
"Although in the virtual world, all kinds of immersive education will be carried out, including the difficult life of ancient humans, etc.."
“But the impact of this kind of education is still limited.”
Zhang Yuan continued: "I think the biggest shortcoming of the entire society at present is that people do not clearly understand the cruel fact that 'after working hard, they may not be able to achieve success'. The current beauty is achieved through hard work by our predecessors, but they have not yet understood it."
"If you encounter major setbacks, you are prone to falling into trouble with self-doubt. What's more, many people forget what kind of creatures humans are in a beautiful environment."
His voice fell down and he said softly: "If a man has never seen a beast that cannibalizes people, does not know the real executioner, nor does he have seen a tyrannical plunderer, and he has insufficient faith."
Tasia asked, "I understand, that is, the frustration education that the entire society receives is insufficient. Do you mean that everyone needs to go to the virtual world to receive this cruel frustration education?"
"No, no, no, not." Zhang Yuan shook his head and grinned, "This kind of war is too cruel. If you don't die for three days, you will be promoted to company commander. It's too terrible. It's really terrible. There's no need to receive that kind of education... However, this is not really cruel."
"Then, the real cruelty you mean is..."
"In this war, a certain country paid the price of tens of millions of casualties and drove the executioner out of its own land. The humans who had fought for became heroes. But in less than eighty years, everything collapsed. The former hero died. The descendants of the hero gave up fighting and sold the battle medals of their ancestors. Even this country became the largest exporter of prostitutes, and women began to sell their bodies for a living..."
"…This is the real cruelty."
"People think they have defeated the raiders, but they are not!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Yuan said seriously: "So, we long for progress and cannot tolerate any regression!"
