章 543: Radicals and Conservatives
The number of people retiring is large and the number of people who are recruited is small, but the total amount of construction has hardly changed. The process of compressing the population is itself so painful.
Zhou Hua glanced at the TV and said again: "Changing the channel, radicals and conservatives are arguing again."
"How do you say? What's the new plan for the radicals?" Wang Haifeng asked after eating two peanuts.
Times are changing, and human society is naturally changing too.
According to the conventional sense, the conservatives are the forces that have been extended from the original new human government.
They firmly believe that human beings need to complete this large goal. The predecessors have put in 800 years of hard work, and there are 600 years left to complete it. How can we give up halfway?
This force has been firmly pushing forward the goal, including the superhumans who returned from the virtual world, they are basically members of the conservative faction, even if this kind of advancement is breeding public grievances and slowly consuming the credibility of the entire government... as long as Once this plan is completed, all conflicts can be resolved.
The radicals are the latest emerging political force. They are dissatisfied with the current status of human civilization and try to initiate a series of internal reforms. The first thing to bear the brunt is to improve the happiness of the people.
At present, in order to accomplish this big goal, most of the productivity of the entire civilization has been spent, the quality of life has declined, and the people complained. Some people even began to choose to shorten their lives, retire early, and enter the virtual space. This is definitely not a normal behavior!
Of course, the radicals also believe that the big goal must be accomplished. If it is not completed, I will be sorry for the ancestors, and it will also be against the Toss civilization. But how to do it well and quickly is another question.
"...It is immoral and inhumane to kidnap a person's whole life on the wheel of the entire civilization!"
Zhou Hua imitated the empty political slogans of the radical leaders, while laughing loudly.
"Humans need freedom, the right to freely choose their work..."
"After graduation, students should not become precision screws!"
"The current brainwashing education method needs to be greatly reformed."
People who are a little older know that this kind of slogan is difficult to realize, and it is very simple to shout a slogan. It's beautiful, but how to actually achieve it?
Wang Haifeng said: "You are wrong. More people don't think about whether this series of slogans is naive or whether they can be completed. They only care about the position of these slogans and whether they can satisfy the wishes deep in their hearts. ."
Human beings actually have strong tendencies, that is, they have their own standpoints.
If something is on their side, even if it is wrong, people will choose to support it.
On the contrary, if the position of a certain thing is not one's side, even if it conforms to objective facts, people will cast aside it.
The ass is crooked, and everything is crooked.
Although the citizens of the new human civilization have received good education, their fundamental human nature has not changed in any way. The current public grievances are gradually accumulating, and the positions of the people are slowly changing.
Politics is about wearing a hat to manage. What does that mean? In other words, it is necessary to put a high hat on the public and gain a sense of superiority at the psychological level.
The new human civilization has witnessed many stories in history, the decline of earth civilization, and various low-level civilizations that could not develop.
Compared with this type of civilization, people have a sense of moral superiority in their hearts.
In order to maintain this sense of superiority, they do not mind sacrificing some of their own interests to pursue "civilization progress", which is the goal pursued by the New Civilization School.
But now? Working here in the dark, day and night, the mainstream trend of thought is slowly changing, and this top hat is about to fall off.
Life is unsatisfactory, at least not so satisfactory compared with the past, not as imagined... Then people need to vent.
The easiest way to vent your emotions is to scold the government for not doing anything. Maybe everything will be better if you change the government...
This point has never changed for tens of thousands of years. People feel that as long as they come to power and lead, they will definitely be better than they are now.
"Doesn't it sound ridiculous? We are all in the interstellar age, and it's the same."
Wang Haifeng sighed, "Recently I have been reading history books and found some very interesting things. In the 21st century, there was a small country with frequent regime changes, and people often took to the streets to march. You know why they took to the streets to march. ?"
Zhou Hua said: "The economy is not good."
"Wrong, they want more social benefits!"
Zhou Hua wondered, "Isn't social welfare just an economic issue?"
Wang Haifeng smiled and said, "No, no, they don't think about economic issues... They just want more social benefits. They will elect whoever gives them social benefits."
"Then what?"
"Of course the government was changed. The old government was thrown out because the new government promised to increase social welfare."
"After changing the government, I found that there was no money at all. Unless we borrowed money from foreign countries to provide welfare, we couldn't do it. The promise was not fulfilled, so the people started to riot and continued to change the government."
The current government is also facing the same problem. In fact, a series of living resources such as food, clothing, housing and transportation are very abundant, but people are still not satisfied.
It's not unreasonable that people want more time off, but at this point in time...
Similarly, the series of slogans put forward by radicals are indeed provocative to a certain extent, and many young people responded. They don't care much about the process of realization, they only care about better results.
Even if this result is likely to be just an illusion, something that cannot be done at all, they will still believe it.
"With the death of old people and serious aging, people's work pressure is increasing. The political power of radical factions has also gradually increased, and it is no longer what it used to be. A few decades ago, it was just a drizzle. "
"Social change is really complicated." Wang Haifeng shook his head and ate another peanut, "However, many historians of new civilizations have foreseen this problem hundreds of years ago, which is really amazing. "
"But they didn't come up with a solution. Maybe there is no solution in itself, it can only be solved by suffering."
"Or...Actually, there are some solutions, but these solutions are not easy to use and will cause more trouble?"
He doesn't have much interest in radicals or conservatives, but he also knows that there must be no internal chaos at this moment.
There is a premise: the entire large project plan cannot be abandoned.
Don't watch the noisy TV programs, the vast majority of citizens are silent, relying on social inertia, they will continue to carry on with the work at hand.
The strength of the radicals is far from enough to overthrow the rule of the conservatives. Even they themselves dare not give up this plan, so they can only play some side effects.
Every year, the new humans hold two-way talks with the Toss civilization to announce the construction of the civilization's planetary engine and supervise each other. How much work everyone has done and how much driving force each engine provides can be known at a glance with professional instruments. Both parties must be honest with each other.
However, after the "honeymoon period" of one or two hundred years, the friction gradually increased, because there will always be some mistakes in the construction of planetary engines.
If they make mistakes, they will condemn each other and create conflicts.
Fifty-three years ago, a planetary engine on the new human side broke down and went out for 33 days, causing the planet's rotation direction to deviate by 0.03 milliseconds!
So the human side was frantically criticized and condemned by the Tuos people at the year-end meeting, as if the whole plan was about to fail.
Of course, the Tuos people also made such mistakes and were criticized by humans.
All in all, each mistake made by both sides makes the error tolerance rate lower. This is just a contradiction caused by the flameout. If the two planets collide due to the delay in the construction period, the entire plan fails, and the two sides must go to war directly!
"So, the radicals also know their own weight. They can't afford a real war and death. This plan must continue."
Zhou Hua also picked up a wine glass and took a small sip: "Their approach is too idealistic. But it sounds like people's lives are indeed better than they are now."
"Under the current situation where technology cannot be greatly improved, the best way is to expand the population and reduce aging. As long as the population expands, more things can be done, and productivity will naturally increase."
"When productivity increases, working hours can be strictly controlled, and people's happiness can be improved."
"Expand the population?" Wang Haifeng sneered: "At that time, the spacecraft in the interstellar trading market can't hold so many people. Who will stay here and die with the neutron star? Or pack people into the virtual space and take them away?"
"Yes, they just want to put people into a virtual space and take them away, abandoning their bodies, but the old government disagrees, firmly disagrees, and basically opposes it."
"Why don't you agree?"
"They say that the laws related to virtual world technology are the key constitution of human beings, and they must not be touched unless it is a last resort."
"Radicals think that this kind of rules and regulations are too rigid. Even the constitution is appointed by people and can be revised. Now is a critical moment. So what if it is revised?"
At this time, the two also had differences. Wang Haifeng felt that the constitution could not be changed at will, but Zhou Hua thought it was feasible.
One person can be rational, ten people can only be barely sensible, and a thousand people can't even be sensible. Everyone has their own ideas and can only be restrained by universal values.
What about a civilization? When there are too many people, no one can convince anyone, and they will feel that some inexplicable methods have become good ones.
"Drip!" Suddenly, a piercing scream sounded from the communicator.
The two people who were arguing about it looked down one after another. It was not a big deal. It was a machine failure, and the intelligent robot couldn't handle it, so it needed to be handled manually.
"I'll go and stop arguing with you."
"I've had some wine, can I do it?" Zhou Hua said with a smile.
"Of course!" Wang Haifeng waved his hand, put on the power armor again, and submerged into the pitch-black earth.
