Anna turned the file back another page. She looked at the last paragraph of the article and read softly:
“The men’s rights movement accuses us of always causing trouble, which is ridiculous because we are just waking up to the fact that a person’s self-worth and meaning in life can only be determined by him.
"I know very well that most supporters of the men's rights movement are eager to change the system, and a small number just want to take advantage of the system. But the boycott monks are different from you. We long to break away from all systems.
"We are eager to take back our own ownership, we are eager to work together, and we are eager to see more and more people wake up. Because the status of men is in jeopardy, individual freedom must give way to the well-being of all men."
Hesta opened her eyes: "...this paragraph sounds familiar."
"There's nothing surprising about this," Anna closed the folder. "Most of Rob's speeches were repeating Robbeglier's views. He couldn't bring up anything of his own, except for the myth of Jarek... What do you think, after hearing this?”
"That's quite bluffing." Hesta murmured in a low voice, "Can I take these things back and read them carefully?"
"Books are okay, but these documents are not." Anna put the file back on the bookshelf, "But you can come here to take a look at it at any time. If you need it, I can give you access permission here."
"I need it," Hesta replied immediately, "Can I bring someone else with me?"
"Can't."
"Okay..." She held on to the armrests of her wheelchair and readjusted her sitting position. "You said before that Robbeglier was the founder of the Golden Age. Is this also related to his founding of the 'Boycott Monks'?"
"Yes, after the first speech, a large number of men who were tired of women's rights flocked to the place where the monks had been boycotting - because the latter provided an unprecedented idea of action.
"Roboglier was keenly aware that his opportunity had come. From the following year, he suddenly changed his strategy and began to shoot documentaries, give lectures, and establish 'Boycott Monks' Youth Associations in various places - those who were against Men who were interested in them, but who were still ideologically conservative and who could not fully move towards them, could first listen to the 'sermons' of the boycotting monks there.
"What Robbeglier originally wanted to win over were single young people with a certain financial strength. These people are often elegant in conversation and fashionable in dress. Compared with the 'ruffian-like' lower-class young people who previously boycotted the monks, these people are more influential. , and was able to eliminate the stereotype that 'boycotting monks' were social losers, but he did not expect that a large number of young people under the age of seventeen would flock to him.
"Young people always long for a world away from their parents, they long to leave their families and be with their peers, and - and most importantly - they long to find their calling, and 'Boycott Monk' fulfills all needs perfectly. .
"In the YMCA, all members are required to be an honest, loyal, hard-working, and strong group, and everyone's efforts are an integral part of achieving this goal. Then Robbeglier offered a magnificent Blueprint, he wants to build a society of 'just equality' - where men will no longer be eternal exploiters, and they will regain the 'real equality' they have earned with their own blood and sweat. To this end, he All followers are required to maintain an 'unconditional enthusiasm' at all times.
"It just so happened that at that time, 'depoliticization' on campus was an iron rule, and society acquiesced that all teaching institutions were not allowed to use the classroom to conduct any political or religious preaching. You can imagine that when the best young people of that era stepped into the When they entered the trend of 'justice and equal rights', they had almost no ideological tools in their hands that could deconstruct the discourse.
"Immediately afterwards, Robbeglier further confirmed his two agendas: First, men must take the initiative in reproduction. To this end, he invested a lot of money and energy to promote the development of artificial wombs. He is very convinced that the female-oriented cycle The reason why it is difficult to break is because women have a monopoly on fertility. Therefore, before the birth of artificial wombs, all wishes to 'break the cycle' will only be wishful thinking;
"Second, try your best to help all the 'boycotting monks' who meet the conditions to create their 'Year of Miracles'."
"The Year of Miracles?"
"This is another term," Anna said softly. "Originally, it was used to describe the years when some scientists made significant progress. These people tended to do so at a certain time in their youth - usually between the ages of twenty and thirty. Within one to two years, they achieved multiple breakthroughs in a row, and these breakthroughs were the most important achievements in their lives."
"Is it because you were creative when you were young?"
"More than that," Anna said softly, "a strong energy, curiosity, and an active brain are just enough to support the knowledge and skills you start to study... and a large amount of time at your disposal. A person is most likely to be young when he is young All conditions are met at the same time, and it is only when young that people are most likely to leave all the trivialities of life behind and explore freely.”
Suddenly, Turan's figure broke into Hesta's mind. She remembered that the fund project Turan applied for last year was precisely to help some outstanding young scholars to explore freely.
"The Year of Miracles..." Hestad lowered his eyes slightly and his expression softened, "The annual 'Ava Morgan Award' is also trying to do the same thing..."
Anna smiled and said, "Most of the situation is true, but last year's medical award is really not flattering."
"I've heard that it's very controversial. I guess Ava may have put the right to life before all other factors..." Hesta whispered, and she looked at Anna again, "Then what? Roberge Riye succeeded?"
"Succeeded. On the eve of the golden age, the primary reason that hindered the emergence of artificial wombs was not technology, but ethics. He was very good at this and quickly worked out a set of 'conditions for the application of non-current ethical norms' , his team survived in this gray area and finally realized his wish."
After listening to such a long narration, Hesta already felt sincerely tired, but at the same time, her thoughts seemed to be more active than ever before.
"I understand..." she whispered.
Anna did not ask further questions, but just asked Hesta if she wanted some tea. Hesta shook her head and refused. She sat quietly in the wheelchair with an indifferent expression.
After a long time, she suddenly said to herself: "It's actually just another Cossack wasteland... right?"
"What?"
"...The golden age," Hesta whispered, "another stormy mountain range."
