Second Screening
Chapter 432:Second Screening
Around this, everyone is full of curiosity and worry, and two extremely contradictory feelings appear in people's minds.
On the one hand, it is very good, on the other hand, it is very bad!
This feeling, a bit like primitive people talking about modern kinds of pharmaceuticals, do not know its principles, can only blindly guess.People can't tell whether the perfect is "stimulant" or really "suicide", and it is not known whether it will kill itself after large-scale use...
In a quarter of an hour’s worth of kung fu, the scientists here discussed many different results.These results make Yi Feng difficult to the left and right, constantly swinging...
First, genetic screening is certainly not a good thing!
This is the most malicious assumption.
Just like the genetic modification broadcast of a high civilization, perfects is just a biological experiment, and if such a generation is screened, perhaps human beings will be screened into other civilizations.
“That’s how the human species changed!”
“Geneticizing radio just makes you look the same.Perfection can change the whole race!What changes is your next generation, the next generation... smart, long life is just a guise to tempt you to use!”
"It is impossible, no matter how human genetic material is screened, it is still human genes!"It cannot be another species!Our experimental example did not find changes at the genetic level and the chromosomal level ... there are still 46 chromosomes, and there is no mistake about that!”
“And ... superhumans are not reproductively isolated from ordinary humans!”
"No!It's not safe!We have a good understanding of the genetic level, and you can’t guarantee what will happen in a generation.”
Several experts expressed their opinions, and no one could convince anyone, and the atmosphere in the venue became a sword.
All in all, this change looks good, but in fact, its harm may not appear until after a few decades.
“Stories and decades later, man has become a living civilization, or a bloodless beast without wisdom.”
Yu Yifeng himself was very uncomfortable with this statement, as if he was referring to him.
But he did not directly reject this view ... what did not know the mechanism of action, always seemed insecure.
However, this "conspiracy theory" always has one of the biggest problems: If you want to change one species to another, why is it so difficult?
What are the benefits?
Just classifying it as an “experiment” is a bit of a lackluster.
The second argument, genetic screening, is certainly a good thing!
This conjecture, without mentioning the mess of conspiracy theories, but the idea that the perfect element itself is some super civilization to transform itself, do not know what happened, and then become an expensive transaction between interstellar civilizations.
Just life plus, your own wisdom, plus the next generation of smart these two points, is enough!
Why is Perfection an important and expensive trading target?It is because it is something that is handed down in high civilization, and it still has a certain use value.
Among the star civilizations, there are many ancient civilizations that have existed for millions of years.If there were any side effects of perfecting the truth, they would have known it!Perhaps, when we can find a friendlier interstellar civilization consultation.Why does the sower civilization not want to tell us?”
“Okay, don’t blame the sower.”
The second argument is extremely beneficial to mankind, because human perfection is so much.
Compared with the first, it is almost to the opposite extreme.
Psychologically, people prefer the second argument.
Of course, there is a third conjecture that perfectionis has something to do with “intellectual barriers,” so it seems so expensive.
This is an extension of the second assumption.
From the current level of science and technology, it seems very, very difficult to improve the intelligence of civilized individuals.
“Humans may make a cell out of thin air, but ... they cannot improve their intelligence.”
"With technical means, such as the brain chip, can only improve the ability of some aspects, but want to greatly improve the ability of abstract thinking, is tantamount to dreaming... At least our technology is far from it!" 」
“Unless we fully understand the workings of the brain.”
This difficulty may be a civilization not only for us, but also for others, of a low ethnic value.If a civilization has long developed and meets the ceiling of its own intelligence and cannot improve its intelligence, what should they do?”
“How do they overcome it?”
“Perhaps... we should ask ourselves the intellectual ceiling that we should overcome in this way?”One scientist asked this question.
Intelligence, of course, has a ceiling, the average human intelligence is 100, there are many things that cannot be understood.
Good education and long-term effective logical exercise can indeed improve human intelligence.For example, college students who work hard can rise to about 120 through long-term thinking training, but this improvement is still limited, and it is impossible to reach 180,200.
The intelligence of 120 can accept regular courses such as mathematical analysis and advanced algebra, and encounter topology, abstract algebra, partial differential and other disciplines, which becomes quite difficult and requires very long-term thinking.
With the in-depth development of various technologies, simple things have been almost tapped, and the difficulty of expansion has risen sharply, and it has become more and more dependent on genius.
During Newton's time, the top mathematics, that is, calculus, and the top physics were Newton's three laws of motion.For these courses, ordinary people are capable of learning and intelligence.
What now?Any cutting-edge mathematics is no longer something that ordinary people can understand.The same is true of ordinary people, and so for geniuses, who still have things they cannot understand, but their limits are higher.
Information is exploding, but the development of science and technology is slowing down...
One day, even geniuses will find it difficult to understand higher-level science, and this civilization has touched its intellectual ceiling.
“How to solve it?”
“Not even when genius is!”
People are deeply confused.
Again and again, the screening is not set by some supreme existence, but a natural law.
This physiological barrier is more difficult to solve than the Great Filter caused by “nuclear fusion” for the first time.
Silence, silence.
If humans encounter this situation, how should they be solved?
Since there is a civilization through this barrier, there must be a solution.
At this time, Dr. Lampop jumped up, his face studded, spit out a series of appalling words: "To break through this ceiling, the first way, of course, is genetic screening!"Directly deprives mediocre people of their reproductive rights, and only smart people can give birth.
“By artificial screening, let our future generations, generation by generation, be smarter than generation!”
“That’s the way through intellectual barriers!”
Hearing his words, everyone took a cold breath.
This sensational anti-human approach was quickly refuted by the majority of biologists: "Dr. Rambo, you are wrong, smart this kind of thing, but not one or two genes can determine ... Perhaps a combination of mediocre people can give birth to smart children." 」
“Moreover, for highly developed interstellar civilizations ... this approach creates social unrest immediately ... Although we do not know the social systems of other interstellar civilizations, fertility screening is very difficult to achieve, which is substantially contrary to the genetic philosophy of ‘survival reproduction’.”
Rimbaugh shook his head: “You’re right, but this approach is the best choice under all-round intellectual barriers... you can’t deny that it’s wrong!”The offspring of intelligent people are indeed smarter on average, which is the law of statistics.”
“By relying on the self-evolutionary ability of life, it is smarter than one generation by artificially screening a generation ... It may take tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, to break through this bottleneck.”
“Is there a better way besides that?”
The expert was silent and silent.
Technology does not, use the power of nature.
If, what is the cold and powerful civilization that really uses this program?!
Yu Yifeng felt that his heart was tightly held by a large hand, this means, understandably, but, can not accept...
But the vast universe, the stars are bright, and there is a high probability that there is such a cruel and crazy civilization.In order to make progress, they abandoned the low-energy individuals and adopted the means of fertility for a small number of people.
If humans encounter this cruel bottleneck, what should they do?
Should such a program be used as well?
Dr. Rambo, with a clear face, continued: “The second method I think of is, of course, the use of high-level civilizational creations such as Perfection.Civilizations like ours, such social institutions, are difficult to resolve to adopt the first method, alas...”
“Perhaps there is a high civilization that provides us with a second option.”
“So perfection is more expensive ... and it’s not impossible to even start a war.”
