"Before the first simulated human was created, humans spent a lot of time conceiving of various problems that might arise. Can simulated humans be considered human beings? How should the rights and interests of simulated humans be divided? When humans begin to constantly replace their own components, like a Ship of Theseus, how should the distinction between machines and humans be defined?
"Issues like this are causing debate every day. Some people have long realized that some people will vent their terrible animalistic desires on machines. They began to sympathize with innocent machines in advance and began to call on society to pay attention to the rights and interests of robots. However, no one thought of those who What will be the consequences of the new demands created by the simulations, and who will ultimately swallow them."
"This doesn't make sense...why didn't anyone think of it?"
"Because everyone is free, Jane."
"I do not understand……"
"Do you really not understand? Or are you just as arrogant as the superiors of the Golden Age?"
Hesta's face turned slightly pale, and she looked at Anna angrily, "...please enlighten me."
Anna smiled, moved her wheelchair back half a meter, and took down another, thicker file folder from the bookshelf.
"Let's start from the other end... You have already met the Thorn Monks on the ship. What do you think of these people?"
"What do you mean?"
"In various aspects." Anna shrugged, "Have you had an in-depth chat with them on a certain topic? They like to sell their own theories to strangers."
Hesta frowned and thought for a moment - during the two days on the ship, she really didn't have much waking time. She had a brief chat with the man named Bree yesterday afternoon, but it was hard to say there was any "theory" in it.
Instead, it was the sisters Agnes and Meyer...
"It seems not?"
"...No." Hesta replied.
Anna was a little surprised. She lowered her head and pulled out a dozen manuscripts from the folder, "Okay, no matter what, you should get to know someone first."
Hesta took it with one hand and turned over the cover. On the title page of the manuscript was a serious-looking middle-aged man. There were deep grooves between his eyebrows, but his eyes were very bright. He had a white beard like a tree root. touched his chin.
Hesta was sure that she had no memory of this face, but when she saw the name underneath, she was stunned.
"... Robbeglier?"
"uh-huh."
"Is this when he was young?" Hestad looked back at the photo with some uncertainty, "Why doesn't it look like... no, this is not a person."
"Yes, they were not the same person." Anna said softly, "The real name of the little old man on the boat was Rob Green. When he was in his twenties, he changed his name to Rob Green. Yeah—just to honor this guy.”
"Who is this person?"
"One of the founders of the Golden Age and the founder of the 'Boycott Monk' in history. This man was a businessman, a politician, and a social activist. When he was born, the seventh trend of the feminist movement was sweeping the world. , by the time he was assassinated, the young women in District 1 had to march on the streets to ensure their most basic right to education.
“In short, his impact on the world is immeasurable.
"Rob Green admires him very much. His life is almost copied in the vein of Robbe-Grillet, but it is obviously not very successful." Anna said in her usual slow tone, "After so many years, except for one 'Eden Community', he will never have another outstanding work."
Hesta began to read attentively. This manuscript was written in the text of the third area, and it was not difficult for her to understand it. However, when she had read about half a page, a dizzying feeling of nausea came over her, forcing her to look away.
After pausing for a moment, Hestad began to skip reading.
Soon, she saw several familiar passages, which were some underground speeches given by Robbeglier when he was young. The main theme was exactly the same as what Sister Agnes said last night. This aroused Hesta's strong interest almost instantly.
She was about to turn back and read it carefully when another wave of dizziness hit her.
"...The characters are too small." She raised her head helplessly, resisting the urge to vomit, "But this paragraph...I heard someone talk about it last night...What is it about?"
Anna looked at where Hestad was pointing.
"Oh, 'escape velocity' and 'feminine cycle'." Anna smiled, "Who did you hear talk about last night? Gobelin?"
"No." Hesta didn't say much, "I've never heard of these two words... What is 'escape velocity'?"
"Both concepts were borrowed by Robbeglier from other disciplines. Robbeglier has already explained in his speech why the civilization we live in is a female-oriented society wrapped in a male-dominated cloak. You do you remember?"
"Some impression," Hesta whispered, "'male disposability'... something."
"Yes, 'male disposability' and 'gynocentric cycle' are the core theories of the 'Boycott Monks'. In Roboglier's view, the traditional male superiority of women belongs to 'feminism with a balance of power and responsibility'—— Men give up their freedom and security to support their families, and women give up their power and receive support. Both parties gain and lose.
"However, Robbeglier pointed out that this kind of 'feminism' that balances power and responsibility will inevitably slide into 'extreme feminism', because society will always have a stage of stabilization and prosperity. In this process, women will gain more and more 'free time', constantly pursue maximizing their own interests, and at the same time use tradition to evade responsibilities and establish a new gender order.
“But this order will not last, because under this gender order, the traditional family structure will quickly collapse within a few generations, and civilization will collapse with it – so moderate patriarchy will no longer exist and extreme patriarchy will take its place. : A war breaks out in society, women's status falls again, and men kill each other, until a winner is found and society becomes stable again.
"At this point, a cycle is completed. Roboglier used a large number of cases in history to verify his theory. On this basis, he proposed that men should learn to identify the cycle they are in: If they find themselves at the end of the cycle, then We must be prepared for possible social collapse in our lifetime; if we are in the middle of the cycle, we must strive to pursue 'escape velocity' to escape the exploitation of a female-centric society.
"This speech was probably given in District 1 when he was twenty-seven years old, in response to questions from other men's rights movements at the time about his organization 'Boycott Monks'.
"What doubt?"
"Extreme passive defense." Anna replied. "The boycotting monks of Robbeglier did not marry, have children, talk to the public, and seek understanding. It was very different from the style of other men's rights movements at the time - most men's rights. Movement activists seek dialogue, hoping to change the existing system through public debates, publications, and even participation in political campaigns, and ultimately gain more resources. They believe that Roboglier's 'separatism' will not only bring more Misunderstanding and hatred are of no other use... So Roboglier gave this speech. In this speech, he threw out many concepts such as 'male disposable', 'red pill doctrine', 'female-centered cycle', etc. Of course, that also includes the 'escape velocity' you see.
"This was his first public speech in public. After the speech, a large number of centrists in the men's rights movement defected to the 'Boycott Monks'."
