Hidden Yao Era

?

Casto nodded in response, "Yes, but it's usually with some down-and-out old aristocrats." The better individuals among the commoners were combined with the nobility. But more often than not, it was a strong alliance between the nobility. "

"Alas, the commoners who have jumped out of their own predicament must have a high level of spirit and thought. But after reaching the peak of their minds, they saw mountains of class, wealth and power pressing down on them, so joining the aristocracy became the best, if not the only, option. I also hope that everyone will be free from the shackles of class, social values and capital. But can human society withstand all the superhuman beings of spiritual emancipation? After losing anxiety and class oppression, can human beings continue to move forward by their own internal drive? Where is the direction of progress of a completely free human society? Aren't those ordinary people who have lost their forward momentum? But after everyone breaks free from the shackles, what kind of transformation will the animal nature and impulses in human nature make? Human free will can easily conflict, and the clash of free will will cause new chaos and oppression. I don't think that kind of chaos is something that human society can afford right now. "

Castor was silent for a moment after hearing Sonya's words, and he couldn't find the answer to Sonya's series of questions for a while. "These mountains are too oppressive for a person, and you know, I've read a lot of ancient philosophy and social thought in recent years," he said. The more I learned about Eastern and Western thought, the more I felt the oppressive nature of Eastern thought. The emancipation and independence of Western thought makes me feel more comfortable. Therefore, I think it is reasonable for our family to adhere to Western culture for thousands of years. They have some attachment to Eastern culture, which I think is completely superficial. They only pursue a distantly distant style on the surface, but do not understand the part of it that suppresses human impulses and perceptions. Our family's thousand-year-old Western cultural tradition should not be cut off like this. "

"Hahaha, you're building a family identity. Sonia laughed.

"What about your religious aristocracy, and what do they rely on to maintain their position?" asked Castor.

Sonia said: "It depends on the right to interpret beliefs, but behind this right of interpretation is also knowledge, some shallow scientific knowledge and profound philosophical theories. After all, for civilians, it is not easy for them to understand the scientific knowledge that is too difficult. Therefore, the upper echelons only need to combine a little simple scientific knowledge with profound philosophical ideas to explain the concept of God clearly, so that the believers can indulge in the illusion of God's omniscience and omnipotence. But the premise of this explanation is that these clergy must fully understand all aspects of modern science, and only after they can fully understand it can unscrupulously fill in the unknown territory of science with theology. "

After hearing this, Casto smiled bitterly: "Hehe, it seems that modern society relies on knowledge monopoly to divide classes. If you monopolize knowledge, you have a monopoly on the right of interpretation, and if you have the right of interpretation, you can firmly grasp the value system of the whole society. The lower classes will be led by this value system no matter what they want and do. Whether it's hedonism, liberalism, or religious mysticism on our side, it's like this. "

Sonia nodded and continued, "In a sense, that's the case. But man has free will, and his life instinct drives him to yearn for freedom. However, society is always creating a series of false freedoms and happiness, making people feel that they are living in freedom or happiness and give up thinking. The reason why people believe these things is because they lack the strength in their hearts to support their independent personality. Not only commoners, but also some aristocrats indulged in the so-called happiness prescribed by external values. Alas, modern society has become so developed, and the human heart is still so poor that it can't even support an inner self-consistent world. "

Casto sighed that he wanted to explore some deeper issues, so he said, "Because man lacks the understanding of nature, both his own essence and the nature of the external world. This makes people wander and lose on the surface of the external world, and they are always confused and controlled by superficial things. The aristocratic life they pursued was all about superficial fashion and luxury, but they did not understand the aesthetic philosophy system behind those arts. They don't understand the spiritual wealth and psychological will that support the upper class. They enjoy a wide variety of electronic entertainment devices, but they are completely unaware of the transformation of their spirits. Under the influence of various media, they pursue the path of wealth and nobility, completely unaware that these paths are all predetermined traps. "

But Sonia changed her words: "Isn't this a kind of foolish happiness? What if the commoners knew the essence? Can they change the world if they know it? Can they live according to their own hearts when they know it? The waiters in the luxury stores ostensibly obey the values of the aristocracy and work towards the path of wealth accumulation." But on this path, they are just normalized, domesticated people. This path to wealth will not lead to aristocratic life, but at most it will give them a little more choice. It's just that many of them are still immersed in the dream of becoming a nobleman in the future. If these commoners want to make a class leap, they will probably have to do their best, which may not be elegant, and sometimes it will be ugly. And the nobles will certainly not let go of these opportunities to accuse them. "

Sonia then squeezed Casto's hand and said, "And I'm a civilian, and I might have been even worse if I hadn't met you." Because I'm essentially a reformer, but I've gained civilian status because the Hearts Voice Sect joined the Alliance. What would become of me if I came to your society as a prisoner of war? I just stumbled across some information on the instrument to transform people. Some aristocrats seem to bring in their transformers and buy them something as a reward. Their messages read, 'No physical domination', 'No personal rights'. That means they can be insulted at will, right?".

Castor showed a hint of anger on his face, and then said: "It's really sad, even if human beings are so developed, they still like to exploit and abuse their low-level kinds, and even if they have no worries about food and clothing, they can't get rid of these low-level and cruel evil tastes. Is this instinctive or acquired cruelty?".

Sonia thought for a while and said, "There are both innate animal instincts and acquired psychopaths caused by the suppression of human society. In the final analysis, it is the alienation of desire that has nowhere to release and turns into a murderous and distorted appearance. Alas, in your developed society, everyone still doesn't seem to know what to do. If everyone understands their own nature and understands their own mission, will they still ruin their own lives and the lives of others in this way?"

"So everyone should redeem themselves. "

Sonia nodded: "That's right, but does the whole society need to suppress people's animal nature? After all, even after self-awakening, an individual's examination of his own animal nature is not always able to ensure that he does not exceed the rules. It may also be necessary to have a certain amount of cultural self-repression, such as the introversion, introspection and humility of Eastern culture, which can make people get rid of the indulgence of animal nature. "

Castor suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha, but I think the humility and so-called steady behavior style of Eastern culture are easy to deviate in practice." In people who have no connotation and heritage, humility is easy to turn into weakness and cowardice, and steadiness is easy to become wooden and dull. "

Sonia suddenly thought of something, and she smiled: "Hahahahaha, it is true that our low-level members can easily understand the humility and calmness required by the doctrine too flat, and become stupid and silent mediocrities. "

Casto looked at Sonia and said, "Sonya, what should we do next? This society doesn't seem to be good, but it doesn't seem to be bad. Civilians have no worries about food and clothing, and reformed people are wantonly humiliated, but they will not cause social unrest. The power of the aristocracy is gradually declining, but it does not seem to be a big problem, because our intermarriage with the commoners has not been broken. After the good commoners were absorbed, it seemed that the aristocracy would continue to continue. This imperfect society seems to be the best promised land for humanity in the earth circle now. "

"The cultural inertia of this society is indeed beyond my imagination, and the thinking barriers built through the all-round culture of media, entertainment, and values are too strong. It's not easy to transform this society. Be ourselves and try to create the life we want first and then help others. Sonia said.

"Well, what does your ideal life look like?".

"I, I want to be a painter, I want to go to many places in the solar system, to Earth, to Mercury, to Venus. I want to go to an alien galaxy too. Previously as a member of the Pluto rover, had to fight. I'm on your side now, but am I free? If I live in this society as I am now, what can I do? Do you farm on your family's farm? You may feel at ease, but what about my mood? I like nature, but gardening and taking care of crops don't make me feel too strong. I want to do something more creative. "

"Why are you so obsessed with creativity?".

"I'm a microchipped. Living with the chip, I know more and more that if a person only has pure reason and no emotions and impulses, he will eventually be fused by the chip. In other words, such a person will take the initiative to become a chip. "

"Why? Isn't that suicide?".

"No, it's precisely for eternal life. Sonya's answer left Castor completely confused.
