Whether it is the narrow demand for democracy or the free choice of capital, the result is likely to be unconditional obedience to the flow ecology and emotional ** field behind it, and finally highlight the same trend - extreme populism.
Populism is essentially a kind of democratic extreme liberalization, or a kind of opinion leader democracy, this kind of pathological democracy generally presents two results in human history, either the ultra-nationalist Nazis, or the utopian nominal **, the collectivist consensus or belief emphasized by it often realizes class solidification by dissolving the class channel, forming a self-consistent closed loop in the way of nominal democracy and nominal equality, locking the collective consciousness in the information cocoon, and finally letting the individual awaken and disappear automatically.
Therefore, some anti-civilization trends are expressing this concern.
But on the other hand, human civilization has been evolving a more efficient form of collectivism, whether it is gossip stories or spiritual beliefs, whether it is totem worship or economics and philosophy, so that people let go of their own emotional value differences and seek collective standardized division of labor and cooperation, which has always been the essence of human beings jumping out of the confines of genetic evolution and choosing to evolve independently. In this case, why should we guard against the trap of centralizing power and correcting deviations?Because species are immune!
As three-dimensional animals, human beings are very good at using four-dimensional space-time to correct their own deviations, for example, respect for history is a kind of self-verification based on species immunity.
Don't think that we are venting wantonly on social ** today, violent and wanton, all kinds of unbearable moral judgment, in order to restore the facts, seek the truth, **Although the storm stops at the truth, it doesn't actually care about the truth, even if it has been real-name system, but there are still many participants who recklessly make nonsense The reason is just that they are trying to seek collective recognition through their personal appeal of speech. In addition, the measurable data of fans and traffic solidify the value of this "identity", so it has been tried and tested. But after peeling back the cocoon, this is essentially a kind of species immunity.
This exclusivity of species immunity is the reason for our interest in history, and the written part of the Chinese civilization can only be traced back to 841 BC, which undoubtedly caused an emotional crisis in the blood identity of the ancient civilization, until we find the oracle bone inscription in Yinxu.
Taking history as a mirror is a kind of perceptual correction after the rational exploration of human beings, just as we use human pseudo to improve the lack of human nature, but we are worried that the mechanism of human pseudo has swallowed human nature, when dealing with the relationship between the individual and the collective, we are reluctant to give up purity in order to survive, just like we develop AI technology today and prevent the crisis of artificial intelligence, we can always be aware of the fragmentation of individuals in a more efficient division of labor and cooperation mechanism, but we choose to compromise under the program of the supremacy of collective interests and capital efficiency.
When we need to choose between brain-computer interfaces and AI captivity, capital and populism will once again coincide to help mankind complete the final peaceful evolution.
