Ye Feng asked Lan Lan whether humans are food?
Lan Land said: "How is that possible?"
But Ye Feng said with a smile: "Since humans are animals, why can't they become food? When a tiger eats humans, it doesn't regard humans as food. In the eyes of the tiger, we are different from the pigs, cows, sheep, and other animals on its diet. There is no difference between apes and monkeys. Just like pigs, cows, and sheep are food in our eyes, but why aren't humans?"
In this way, Lan Lan's CPU was suddenly wet, and she said: "I don't know."
Ye Feng did not intend to embarrass her, and continued: "The reason why you think it is impossible is because of the fixed thinking of human beings for thousands of years. For you, it is the fixed thinking accumulated over countless years.
"Humans, as you said before, are advanced primates, and humans are advanced when they have thinking and thinking. In the words of our monks, they are the soul and soul.
"Take ordinary humans in the human world as an example.
"Human beings have reached the top of the natural food chain through technological means and have become an existence that cannot be shaken. They have stayed at the top for countless years. Human nature is arrogant. If you stand at the top for a long time, you will forget. In the primitive era when technology was extremely backward, we were used as food and life-threatening by other beasts, and had to hide in caves. As time went by, we humans became arrogant enough to believe that the world was created for our existence. . And this idea has reached its peak in the idealist theory of "I think, therefore I am"
"Today's human beings on the Burial Star are already busy shuttling between high-rise buildings, just looking for a place to survive and food and clothing. They are running around for a living from morning to night. This is different from the humans ten thousand years ago and the people who struggled to forage in nature. Compared with animals, their life is not much different in nature. The law of the jungle of the jungle and survival of the fittest still exists, which proves that human beings have not completely got rid of the nature of lower creatures after all. Even if humans have technology, humans are still just nature. A kind of animal. And this animal instinct in humans, I call it "animal nature"
"But human beings will naturally not tolerate themselves being regarded as "beasts" together with other lower animals, so they have made a distinction in the field of thinking, or soul, that is unique to us humans. To put it simply, humans use only Morality is something that humans only have to distinguish themselves from lower animals. I have to say that there is nothing wrong with this, and it should indeed be done this way. And we humans call it "human nature". But human nature In essence, it is born out of animal nature, so we often say that "human nature is inherently evil and seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages." The root cause is that "human nature comes from animal nature."
"But what's very funny is that humans are selfish, inferior, arrogant animals who like to deceive themselves. This is reflected in the fact that humans always like to jump back and forth between "human nature" and "animal nature"
"Although in many cases, human beings tend to choose human nature between "human nature" and "animal nature", but that is when there is a choice. Of course, this refers to most situations, otherwise "animals are worse than animals". Who is the word created to describe? But choosing human nature may not necessarily be very noble. After all, human nature is not a good thing in most cases. Even if it has good aspects, it is so easy to deteriorate and cannot withstand it. Due to the temptation of interests, human nature can easily slip from the good side to the bad side, and there are even examples of human nature slipping completely into bestiality.
"Human nature" and "animal nature" both revolve around the core of "people", and the bottom line is life. A dead dragon is not as good as a living mouse, which means the incomparable importance of life. When the bottom line of life is not touched, there is still room for choice between human nature and animal nature. But once it is touched, people will not choose between human nature or animal nature. Whichever one can make them survive is the one. Because of this, the human tragedy of exchanging children and eating them in ancient times was the result of touching the bottom line of life. Those people have no choice at all.
"Between "human nature" and "animal nature", if people still have a choice, then the choice is the individual's responsibility, but if no one has a choice, then the choice is the responsibility of everyone in the entire society. In other words, it is the responsibility of the court and the person in power.
"Take the question of whether the old man who fell to the ground should be helped. This problem was originally an individual problem, but the reason why it has evolved into a common problem and then escalated into a social problem is because it is difficult to be a good person and requires huge costs. But if you do There is no cost to outsiders, and there is still profit. Then there will be more people following suit, and the social atmosphere will naturally gradually deteriorate. What is reflected here is the responsibility of everyone in society.
"But in fact, it is still too late to make a remedy at this time. The remedy lies in the moral or legal norms discussed below. If you want to say why you don't protect people who are kind to help others and don't deal with blackmailing the elderly, I don't want to say that the law is imperfect. The reason is that it has been many years and it is still not perfect. Should we dig out the ancients from the ground and do sit-ups? Is it all because of you, the ancients?
"Actually, the more realistic reason is that the law is only the bottom line of morality. It cannot control so many things. When the law cannot control and people no longer believe in morality, it will be a big deal if the social atmosphere is not chaotic. And at the legal level, no matter how good it is, As long as people do bad things, they are bad people
"Yes, yes! Everyone is equal before the law. Don't bad guys hide behind the law? There is no punishment for doing all the bad things. After all, the ways to get the most benefit are all written in the prohibitions of the law. So in the end Good people often make mistakes, and bad people go unpunished. The delayed justice of the law is not worthy of being called justice, nor is it qualified to be called justice. Late justice is worse than evil. And this is the responsibility of those in power. A correction of social atmosphere. It has always been measured in units of hundreds of years, but it only takes a day, an hour, a minute, or even just a second to make a mistake. Countless subjugated courts in history tell us that it is very easy to destroy the people's hearts that have been won over by so much hard work. , if the people's hearts after being destroyed are to be united again, they will have to change dynasties and shed blood.
"So humans are extremely contradictory animals who pursue "human nature" but cannot give up "animal nature". This may have its own reasons, but it is more due to the overall environment. After all, the power of individuals is very weak. of.
"So people can be animals or not, so people can be food or not."
