Chapter seven hundred and ninety sixth big goal
Zhang Yuan ignored everyone in a daze and continued: "With the most basic morality, the next second step is to establish a modular thinking system. To explain this, it means filling in the larger framework with more complete content..."
"First of all, it is a big goal, looking for surprises in the universe. We have given some definitions of this big goal of civilization, including what is surprise, what is a low-probability event, what is unknown, and what kind of things will make us feel joy..."
"The pursuit of curiosity is our driving force for progress."
"This big goal is something that everyone must have, so that civilized cohesion can be formed."
This type of definition will affect the way people behave, and even the way of entertainment will be rewritten, which is undoubtedly extremely important. In the past, humans would feel happy if they secrete a little dopamine in their minds, but in the future, the happiness mechanism will be reshaped.
A large number of dense lists are listed on the screen, one of which is "discovering and exploring unknown knowledge", as well as small-probability events that are searching for novel and fun in the universe, discovering some maverick civilizations, saving self-rescuers in the depressed civilization, etc.
These are all contents recognized by the general public.
Looking at the audience in the audience, Zhang Yuan continued: "In addition to the big goal, the next step is the personal small goal. This small goal varies from person to person and can be set by one's own preferences, mainly to ensure the diversity of civilization's thinking. Here, we have created a series of thinking modules that can be set by ourselves."
The so-called free setting means that one can decide one's own personality. It can be extrovert, kind, cheerful and lively, active, enthusiastic, friendly, or dull, cautious, carefree, etc.
Then add some personal hobbies, like sports, art, games, writing...
These small goals are presented in modular form and can be selected by yourself before the experiment.
Even after the experiment, if you feel dissatisfied, you can modify it repeatedly. In the concept of modular thinking, everything can be divided like building blocks. You can draw a piece of content at any time to exchange it for another piece.
"That is, a person can set his modified personality to be similar to before his experiment."
This is a great point. What everyone is most afraid of is a huge change in personality. If the personality is completely different before and after the experiment, then people will be very scary.
Now people have given a free choice, and the terror factor has undoubtedly been reduced a lot.
Seeing that everyone was thinking about it, Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Finally, what I want to tell you is that after completing this setting, human beings will still lose a lot of emotions, including various physiological desires. So before and after transformation, it is still different."
"Traditional humans have to eat when they are hungry, drink water when they are thirsty, feel joy when they are harvested, and get angry when they are offended. These behaviors are the original philosophical system. After modification, these contents will be greatly simplified. After all, they will not need to eat at all, and behavioral patterns such as reproduction will also be changed. Therefore, humans will no longer be humans."
"There is another huge risk that is uncontrollable: after the transformation, we may 'disagree' with'the thinking modules chosen before the transformation because of the change of our thinking patterns."
"This possible disagreement is impossible to predict. Can everyone accept it?"
After saying this, the conference room fell into silence again.
This uncontrollable risk is a bit difficult to understand. Simply put, in the first stage, most people will set up their personalities before and after the transformation.
However, since the modified thinking pattern has changed, perhaps humans at this stage will think that the optimism, cheerfulness and other emotions they recognized in the past are all irrelevant, so they changed themselves again.
This is the second stage of self-transformation.
It’s like building blocks. The building blocks built in different periods and ages are completely different. The same is true for the new generation of humans.
The third stage is followed by the fourth stage of self-transformation. With the significant increase in thinking speed and the change in thinking quality, this change will become bigger and bigger, and will become less like humans in the traditional sense.
When traditional humans see the fourth stage of self-transformation, they may think they are strange and terrifying.
This risk cannot be eliminated and cannot be predicted. It is impossible for humans to set their thinking to be able to be transformed once. If this is true, it will only hinder their own room for progress. Moreover, smarter humans in the future will have the ability to skip these settings.
By the same token, people cannot predict how humans will think in the third and fourth stages... Thinking is difficult to predict.
"Professor Zhang, I still have a question!" The person who spoke was Captain Feng. She raised her hand and asked: "In the new thinking framework, can we completely fill in the original genetic philosophy content? In this way, will this problem be solved?"
"Maybe it can be done in the future." Zhang Yuan replied: "But it is not possible now. We do not have such technical strength yet. The more content we fill in the framework, the greater the possibility of defects, which leads to accelerated thinking and defects..."
"A modular processing method like now has a lot of workload and is very difficult."
"I really can't sort out the messy thinking I used to be."
Hemisphere civilization is a compulsory memory indoctrination, so the processing speed is very fast. The human model is almost tailor-made, and every individual must be carefully analyzed, which is extremely complex.
According to the current productivity of Unreal Laboratory, it takes tens of millions of years to transform 100 people in one year. Without increasing productivity, 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 have completed transformation and their thinking speed has been greatly improved, productivity will definitely be able to be improved together.
Zhang Yuan opened his hands and gestured several gestures: "If we really become a level five civilization in the future, we are familiar with this set of exploration and improve our intelligence, and we can indeed fill all the original genetic philosophy content. But I think the probability of this possibility is not very high..."
"Because I just explained that at that time, our fundamental ideas had undergone fundamental changes. Everything we cherished in childhood and the little experience accumulated through hard work, when we grow up, we will only think that these precious things are a bit stupid. Perhaps, these experiences are beautiful, but they may not necessarily be changed back."
"Some people who have become rich occasionally miss the hard struggles of the poor and humble period, but they are likely to be unwilling to go back to the past."
"Of course, what I'm talking about here is high probability, and some low probability events cannot be ruled out. We cannot guess what humans would think at that time. So there is no need to have too much fantasy."
