Local Optimum vs. Global Optimum
Chapter 378:Local Optimum vs. Global Optimum
Yu Feng thought of something more.
Comfortable, very comfortable!
Most people want to escape...
Since the explosion of the earth, humans have been forced to escape into the dangerous universe, first the moon, then Mars, and then the Knicks, almost every step can be described as adventure.
If it had been placed more than a hundred years ago, this great opportunity and challenge, people will certainly quarrel, but... the adventurers will definitely occupy the majority!Because people at that time needed to be strong, needed industry, and needed technology.
But now, the development has reached such a level as interstellar civilization, and a kind of thinking called "easy" has gradually occupied people's minds.Not only the lack of killing at the soldier level, but also the spirit of adventure in these upper echelons of government.
Yes, the same goes for the upper levels of government!
People become afraid to take risks, do not want to take risks, hope to live their lives in such a safe and stable manner.
In other words, the inferior genetic philosophy of human beings themselves is doomed to this point, and from the genetic level, there has never been a more noble civilization than another K-level civilization.
Human beings are united only because of certain good fortune, because of certain adventures, because the right choice was made at a certain time... And because of the legacy of another fallen civilization, they barely crossed the Great Filter, that is all.
This first-born interstellar civilization is too weak.
The quality of modern people has indeed improved, and even realized the ideal society in the minds of some sociologists.But invisibly, genetic philosophical theories such as "survival" and "reproduction" and "intuition of entropy of civilization" are still constantly inducing civilization to degenerate.
"People's lives are good enough, why not maintain the status quo?"Why take a risk?”
This is the inherent thinking of present-day civilization!
But the entropy-enhancing theory states that nothing in the universe is eternal... For a civilization, if it cannot advance, it is the increase of entropy to the extreme, and the beginning of decay can only be backward.
Yu Yifeng came from a special soldier, put in the past, he was very sensitive to the feeling of danger.This dangerous intuition, which has not been seen for more than a hundred years, has made his perception of danger rather dull.
Such is man, what is not used will slowly degenerate, even superhumans are so... The same is true of the civilization of human individuals!
He silently felt the crisis in his heart and smelled this feeling that he had not felt for a long time.
“Dangerous ... dangerous ... uncomfortable ... very uneasy.”
But for mankind, this uneasiness, this crisis, is the driving force for progress!Will interstellar civilization go forward indefinitely?
Of course not!
Why is the Destroyer Civilization so powerful?Perhaps their genetic philosophy is just as bad... but they grew up in a crisis and war!
If Yi Feng has an understanding, he thinks so, the new human civilization is very young, but it seems that some twilight is heavy...
He tasted the uneasiness in his heart...
Dangerous, very dangerous, dangerous, dangerous...
But this danger feels a little distant... and it does not reach the intensity of the near-death...
“Can you still control it?”
Looking at the people who were arguing, Yi Feng suddenly made a decision.
He raised his hand and motioned, and everyone suddenly calmed down, and Yu Yifeng said seriously: "You know... I am afraid, afraid of our adventures, let the whole civilization into the abyss of extinction!" 」
“But I am afraid that we will now make the right choice, which seems to be the right choice, but it has made the whole civilization more cowardly and less risk-taking in the process of development.”
“Today’s decision may be the key point in the development of civilization...”
“This general trend ... is like a snowball, and when we get to a certain situation, we want to change but we can’t change it... It’s really hard, like an avalanche, to destroy everything that’s blocked.”
“This is a process of increasing entropy, isn’t it?”
The development of civilization is continuous, it is a complex problem of chaos, the influence of the same thing, not only now, but also in the distant future... Why capitalism sprouted in the West, not the East, perhaps fainted a thousand years ago...
For a good leader, his goal is, of course, to find the overall best solution in complex problems.However, due to the limitations of intelligence, people often can only find the optimal solution of the locality, and this algorithm is called the "greedy algorithm".
In layman's terms, it is a step to take a step, which step is best to take what step...
But such a simple and rude algorithm, for a complex problem, the probability is that the global optimal solution can not be found, but it is easy to fall into a dead end...
"Now, of course, we have the certainty of winning, but we dare not block it, although we have a very reasonable answer... Yes, the escape is very correct, it looks very correct..."
“It’s the beginning of a lack of courage.This kind of beginning, in fact, can not be formed in a day or two, but a year, two years, a hundred years to form the momentum.
“This trend is affecting you, affecting me, affecting everyone.In fact, it is because we find the local optimal solution.”
Seeing that Xu Yunjin still had something to say, Yu Yifeng looked at him and raised a finger: "Of course, risk is not death... Looking for courage is not endless here..."
“One month, we’re here for a month!”It’s not a long time, and if we can’t, we’ll leave.”
“This is my final decision!”
In this way, Yu Yifeng has been determined to continue to arrest Gaia creatures here, and there is almost silence in the conference room, and everyone is thinking about the few words he said.If people run away now, it seems reasonable, but maybe in a hundred years, people will fall into endless remorse.
Regret today, the timid escape of mankind!
He wanted to say a few words, but suddenly shook his head and sighed.
Greed is a sin, and even interstellar civilizations have no way to get rid of this emotion.
And comfort is a kind of original sin, which directly leads people to indulge in the ocean of matter... A civilization that is increasingly lacking in courage is difficult to stand in the sea of stars.
“In this way, our education must be accelerated!”An expert suddenly said.
"It is necessary to quickly capture the Gaia creature through various means as soon as possible, and if it is to be arrested and run before the arrival of the alien spacecraft, of course, it will be better!"
Then, the meeting began to discuss some details, such as whether to hide the deep space number as soon as possible, whether to make a large cloth, the deep space number to cover, to reduce the possibility of being observed and so on.
The larger Titan spacecraft should also be recalled to hide, the surface of the human being because it is too small but it does not matter, the first time to be found may be very low.
All in all, all actions are aimed at reducing the likelihood of being observed.
After the meeting, people were worried and scattered with a lot of work, and according to the content of the meeting, people must hide all the things that will lead to exposure as soon as possible.
Yu Yifeng is ready to land the planet from Titan spacecraft again, issuing more instructions.
Although it is safer to stay in Deep Space than to stay on the planet, so many people struggle to be on the front line, and Yu Yifeng is willing to stand on the front line and take risks with them.
At this time, another young think tank member Xiao Yu rushed up: "Sergeant, I also thought of another thing please..."
“What do you say?”Yu Yifeng opened the door of the ship and asked back.
His own psychological weight, at least to stay here, the resolution is his own decision.
Xiao Yu said in a hurry: "I think that although the success rate of our bets is not small, it is not big, almost half open it... The decision is in the hands of the other party!"
“We don’t know what means of a higher-seated interstellar civilization, only to be told by a black description... but black can’t know everything about civilization...”
Yu Yifeng sighed, facing the young man, he said directly: "So, no strategy is absolutely safe."If we want absolute security, we can only leave this planet now.”
“But the risks and benefits are always proportional!”You have also heard what I have just said, that the interest is not only the Gaia creature, but also the ideology of our entire civilization.We are too comfortable to fall.”
