When everyone turned their attention to the Infinity Gauntlet, Wang Xia shook his head: "If you think that you can only change the universe by relying on the Infinity Gauntlet, then what is the difference between you and Thanos?
The reason why I don't agree with everything Thanos does is because all he does is drink poison to quench thirst. It must be admitted that wiping out half of the population can indeed delay the outbreak of social conflicts. After the population is halved, although a large number of people will still erupt. social problems, but resource conflicts between various races will also be alleviated.
But killing half of the people completely at random may seem fair, but in fact it is passing the problem on to later generations, and is unwilling to bear the responsibility of selective killing. "
Wang Xia's words caused everyone in the Avengers to listen carefully. It was not that what he said made sense, but that the Infinity Gauntlet was completely out of control and seemed to still be in his hands.
This made everyone in the Avengers couldn't help but feel that the person in front of them might be a more terrifying existence than Thanos.
When Wang Xia saw that everyone was still listening to him, he did not waste time and began to analyze the situation in the universe: "The ancients of mankind once said that there is nothing new under the sun. Although this is not entirely true, it is There is a certain truth. Everything that happens in the universe is not exactly the same as the history of the earth, but more or less, some references can be found.
Intelligent creatures have their own rationality and tend to obtain benefits for themselves. This determines that even if they are not humans, the way of thinking of most intelligent creatures is similar.
In this way, we can analyze the contradictions facing the universe today. What is the biggest contradiction that humans have faced throughout the ages?
The resources on the planet are indeed becoming increasingly scarce due to the skyrocketing population, but wars have broken out time and time again. If we really look into the reasons and start from the whole society to explore the reasons, you think it is really a lack of resources. ? "
When talking about this, the Avengers on the distant Titan also opened the portal and returned to Earth. Doctor Strange had just finished showing off there and handed over the Time Stone, saying that there was only one possibility for them to win. He saw Thanos being beaten to death by them, the Infinity Gauntlet was controlled by another mysterious entity and could not be used, and the world developed towards a future that he had not expected at all.
After listening to everything Wang Xia said, although I couldn't guess what he was going to do, I could vaguely feel that he was probably going to do something big.
“The large-scale wars experienced by humans on earth are indeed caused by insufficient resources. But if we look back at these wars, we will find that at that time, if all the resources produced by humans were relatively evenly distributed to everyone, People have considerable wealth, and it can even allow everyone to live a wealthy life that they can't even imagine.
In today's universe, if you conduct a careful social survey, you will find that the situation is similar to that of humans in the past.
As for the universe as a whole, resources are indeed being consumed rapidly. It will not be long before many large civilizations can no longer bear this consumption.
But as far as the individuals in the cosmic civilization are concerned, if all the wealth produced in the universe can be distributed relatively evenly, then it will be found that almost every individual will become rich in the process to an extent that they can hardly imagine.
This is one of the main contradictions in today's universe. Compared with the shortage of resources, what this universe lacks more is actually the fair distribution of resources.
Thanos may not be able to see this, but he himself does not have the confidence to solve this problem.
If today's cosmic resources can be distributed equitably, then what everyone gets may be 3 to 5 times what they are now. This is even a conservative estimate. In some large civilizations, this ratio is much higher.
And can eliminating half of the population double the resources allocated to individuals? Those people can't. In this process, it is an opportunity for some people to continue to concentrate social wealth into their own hands. After losing half of the population, the quality of life of the remaining half has only improved a little. If it continues to develop for a period of time and social conflicts continue to accumulate, the total population may not be as large as it is now when it breaks out. "
Some of the people present were thoughtful, some sneered, and of course some people showed something. What's going on? How to fix it? expression.
For example, the Wakandans, the most technologically advanced people on earth, have the simplest technology on earth and almost the most advanced natural science knowledge. But don’t talk social science to them. They said that this thing has no meaning. They rely on duels to select the person with the strongest force as the chief. This is the social system they most recognize. What kind of doctrine? What thoughts? What's the use of those things?
Thankfully, most civilizations in the universe are not this deceptive. Most civilizations in the universe are rational and have normal logical thinking. If you have reason, you can rely on logical reasoning. How do they think and reason about how their society should develop? What kind of society do they expect?
Most people who chose to listen were relatively understanding during the process. At the same time, they have indeed seen the same problem from the earth's civilization. 20% of people control more than 80% of social wealth, and this is not the most extreme situation. In fact, if this ratio is made larger, the top 2% of people control basically 80% of social wealth.
And this distribution ratio of the earth is definitely not the most extreme in the universe. After all, those extremely huge existences in the universe are directly called empires. One can imagine what kind of system they adopt, and Under such a system, the gap between rich and poor will be huge.
War will indeed break out due to insufficient resources, but the main contradiction in the current cosmic society is not external, but internal.
This can be seen by looking at the universe under the influence of Atlantis. Even reducing their productivity to almost the same level as now. Under the distribution system adopted in that world, the acuteness of social conflicts would not be as exaggerated as it is now. And their population is almost ten times that of this universe.
"Even if you know it, what's the use of it all? Do you think you can make people like me give up all their wealth to eliminate war in this world?
If it were me, maybe I could do it. But do you think other rich people in this world are like me? Obviously, this is impossible. Tony held his shoulders with his hands. Even though he was a superhero, he was not willing to hand over his wealth to others easily. He even believed that he was qualified to have huge wealth because the wealth was in his hands. can be used effectively.
On a certain level, there is nothing wrong with his thinking. Even in Atlantis, wealth is not evenly distributed, but is assessed through a relatively fair examination system and through various exhaustive tests. Assessing various abilities to determine a person's ability as a leader, and then allocating social resources.
In short, it is actually about promoting meritocracy, allowing talented people to master more social wealth, and rely on these social wealth to achieve faster development.
Even if Tony is such a capable person, even if he is placed in the Atlantis system, he is still qualified to control a large amount of social wealth. However, not all social resources are controlled by such people, or most people who control social resources do not have matching abilities.
"I never said that the next thing I want to do is to prevent the outbreak of war. Indeed, war is often the last resort for intelligent creatures. It is a total explosion of negative emotions accumulated from all social conflicts.
It is also the last resort for a country, a nation, and a civilization that is forced to do so, but don’t you realize it? This universe is about to develop to a point where it has no choice but to do so.
Otherwise, why do you think Thanos wants to wipe out half of the population of the universe? This is precisely because he foresaw the disaster that might break out in the universe in the future. Well, let's see what happens in the future as seen by the Time Stone. "
Wang Xia displayed a projection above the atmosphere, and the Time Stone released a bright green light under his remote control. Project light onto the atmosphere. Shows a picture of the future.
Everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of Doctor Strange, asking him if the Time Stone had such a function?
“The Time Stone can indeed see the future, and can see the possibility of many different futures, but that is not necessarily accurate.
Just like I have seen the future more than 10 million times before, but only one of them is that we successfully defeated Thanos, and this is completely different from the future we see before our eyes.
In the future I saw, Thanos successfully killed half of the people, and then, just as he said, he retired to the countryside. Later, he was found and killed by the Avengers who were still alive, and the people who were still alive were discovered by chance. He found a way to travel through time and space, so he came to the parallel world in the past, gathered the infinite gems, and resurrected everyone. However, he also provoked Thanos from another world. In the final fierce battle, Tony sacrificed himself and completely wiped out Thanos. Thanos from a parallel world.
But I have never seen this kind of ending before me. I can only say that the future seen by the time stone has a certain reference effect, but there is still a certain difference between it and the real future. "
Doctor Strange had actually guessed what was happening before him at this time. Since he can see the future through the Infinity Stones, he can see the future and save those who have been erased through parallel worlds. Then it can naturally be guessed. The powerful man who suddenly appeared beyond their imagination at this time should come from other parallel worlds.
At the top of the atmosphere, a tragic war between the universe was played, with text descriptions next to it. It was a battle between powerful civilizations in the universe, and the earth was among them. In a big melee, a group of people Planets were completely destroyed, and the residents living on those planets had no chance of survival. There is no room for survival in the horrific attack.
Earth's civilization is not strong enough because of its own technological level. Even if there are many superheroes, it is difficult to maintain them in the universe when some superheroes from outside the earth have too much time to take care of themselves. In the brutal cosmic war, they were affected by the powerful weapons of a certain civilization, causing the entire earth to be destroyed. Destroyed, only a few humans who entered interstellar society survived.
"The entire war lasted for forty-five years, causing casualties equivalent to one and a half times the total population of the present universe. You heard me right, the number of people killed was more than the entire population of the present universe.
Many races have the ability to reproduce quickly. After a war breaks out, individuals in the society will be forced to reproduce quickly to obtain enough cannon fodder to be consumed in the war.
Therefore, the number of people who died was even greater than the current total population. As for after that war, the contradictions in the universe were not completely resolved, but enough people died. The effect is almost the same as Thanos snapping his fingers. The population reduction has led to the originally insufficient social resources, and now it seems that they are barely enough, and the short-term peace has been restored. "
The future played by Wang Xia is actually not the future seen by the time stone. But this cannot be said to be false, because these are things that have happened in some parallel worlds that have developed relatively quickly.
That inherently means a certain possibility in the universe, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the future seen by the time stone.
"I'm not being alarmist. It's really possible for the universe to develop in this direction. If you think that if you defeat Thanos, everything will be fine, then one day you will miss him and look forward to having such a person come again with the snap of your fingers. To prevent further death and tragedy."
"Even so, what can we do? Can you tell? Which people are beneficial to the universe and society, and which people are harmful? If not, how can you be sure? Everything we do is not to change the entire universe. Pushed into a darker abyss." Tony has always been quite resistant to the redistribution of social resources. After all, he is one of the richest of all the Avengers.
In fact, the person who should really resist this aspect is Thor. Nominally speaking, he is much richer than Tony. He is now equivalent to a king, and under the feudal system, the social resources controlled by the king can be summed up in a simple word: the whole world is not the king's land.
It's a pity that Thor is a fool and doesn't even have class instincts.
Wang Xia saw that everyone finally started to think seriously about their own questions, and gave his answer: "As some of you have guessed. I come from a parallel world, and the future there relative to you, To me it's probably in the past. And you can tell whether someone is harmful to the universe by what they do in the process."
