At the same time, language and writing were also unified.
Originally there were thousands of different languages in the world, but in the Earth International Era, all these languages were unified into three.
English, Chinese, and Arabic.
In fact, at the beginning, everyone wanted to stay with only English. After all, whether it is computer programming or the complexity of the language, English is definitely the best choice.
Later, everyone discovered a very serious problem. Due to the grammatical characteristics of English, serious distortions of meaning would occur when describing certain specific things.
For example: I passed the exam without any preparation this year.
If translated literally into English, it would become: I took off all my clothes to take the exam naked this year and climbed onto the shore.
This is going to get weird.
Even if you don't go with the direct meaning, if you want to express such a sentence, you will need a very long paragraph to complete the description.
Later on, in order to save time, people would deliberately shorten some syllables when speaking each word to make the whole conversation faster.
This is a bit like the evolution of the Chinese Beijing accent, which becomes shorter and shorter as it is spoken.
But in Chinese, reducing some syllables does not affect the expression of meaning, but it is completely different in English.
In the end, people had to compromise and chose to join Chinese and Arabic with English to become the three major international language systems on Earth.
This is a good thing for China. After all, Chinese students have been learning English since childhood. Back in the UN era, English was one of the main subjects for Chinese students.
Now, the status of English has been raised again and it has become one of the compulsory learning contents and is even about to become a basic course in universal education.
Because once English is kicked out of the main subjects, the blow to the lower classes will be almost devastating.
The reason is very simple. The areas affected by English are mainly divided into three aspects: computer technology, scientific research literature consultation, and international communication.
Its existence is no longer just a language, it also represents the dividing line between classes.
Once its compulsion is abolished, English will become an unbridgeable gap between the upper and lower classes.
The lower class cannot learn English, or the cost of learning English will be very high. Just like art and music, English will become the patent of the privileged class.
At the master's level, English education is very necessary to consult literature, which is almost a necessity for becoming a graduate student.
If this system is cancelled, it will be difficult for children from poor families to become successful. A bachelor's degree will be the upper limit for the lower class, and the poor will never be able to become a master's degree holder.
Scientific research, politics, and economy will completely close the door to the grassroots people.
In that case, within five years, class stratification will come again, and the gap between people will be greater than the gap between people and animals.
However, in order to save learning time, Lin Xuan still opened the language pack download function for free to all mankind.
Just like the language pack in the game, as long as you want to switch the language, you can go to Mewtwo World and download a new language pack for your brain. This feature is one of the few benefits of Mewtwo World that is open to everyone and free of charge.
The reform of education is also reflected in the emphasis placed on humanities and social sciences.
Literature, sociology, philosophy, history, political management...
These disciplines that had once declined have regained vitality.
However, there is only one subject that has been controversial: education.
The discipline of education was in a very embarrassing position during the UN era.
Many people mistakenly believe that education means being a teacher and that this major should be easy to find a job.
In fact, it is not the case at all. On the contrary, education is the least suitable major for being a teacher.
For example, if you study Chinese education as a subject and want to become a Chinese teacher, you find out that they only hire students majoring in Chinese language and literature. After all, you need to study both education and Chinese at the same time, while they specialize in Chinese. In everyone's opinion, they are obviously more professional.
The same is true for subject education in physics, subject education in mathematics, and subject education in chemistry.
Basically, there are professions that can perfectly replace them, which makes them seem to be the most useless group of people.
In fact, pedagogy originally still had a certain space for survival, but the emergence of the Mewtwo world almost caused a devastating blow to pedagogy.
People don’t need to study, they can acquire knowledge through the Mewtwo world, so what are the needs of teachers?
Whatever type of knowledge you want, isn't it enough to just download a copy?
It’s just like doing homework and using question-searching apps like Zuoyebang to get the answers directly. There is no need for any learning process at all, and it is even more convenient than that.
Sometimes, some junior high school students, after downloading knowledge through the Mewtwo World, even have more knowledge in this area than their teachers. So what's the point of going to school?
It's totally unnecessary.
This led to the teaching profession almost being abolished. It was only then that Luo Congmin led teachers from all over the world to launch a joint protest movement, which preserved the value of the profession.
They boycotted the use of the Mewtwo world on a large scale and demanded that Lin Xuan should control the spread of Mewtwo knowledge, but this did not have any effect.
Once humans get used to elevators, they will no longer be willing to walk up the long stairs.
Even as the inventor of the Mewtwo world, Lin Xuan said he was powerless to do anything about it.
After all, he couldn't possibly have completely destroyed the Mewtwo database, right?
However, what made Lin Xuan speechless the most was that he never expected in his life that the first person to stand up against him in the new era would be Luo Congmin, the girl he had brought up since childhood.
Luo Congmin studied education.
At the beginning, Lin Xuan allowed Luo Congmin to enter the University of Science and Technology of China as a liberal arts student, but the liberal arts majors at the undergraduate level of the University of Science and Technology of China were cut to only two in the early stage of the great trough, one was English and the other was Marxism-Leninism and Politics.
Luo Congmin was not interested in either of them, so Lin Xuan asked Principal Liu Chang to open a new major for her.
However, you cannot just open a major like that. You must have the corresponding educational qualifications, or at least the teaching staff must be up to standard. Otherwise, even the University of Science and Technology of China cannot create a new major for you out of thin air.
After much screening, it seems that the most suitable liberal arts major is education.
After all, the University of Science and Technology of China is a university, and what it has the most is teachers. It has more than enough teaching staff to offer an education major.
Therefore, Luo Congmin studied education, and after graduating from her undergraduate degree, she continued to study for a master's degree in education at her original school, focusing on social development and contemporary educational history.
This is a new major created by Luo Congmin himself, which is a new major that combines education and sociology.
Since they couldn't find a suitable teacher, the University of Science and Technology of China directly handed her over to President Liu Chang and started the free-range mode.
The meaning is very clear. Anyway, you are the only one studying this major. You can research whatever you want. We really can't do anything to help you.
Just when everyone thought that Luo Congmin was just wasting time in graduate school and would not be able to do any substantive research.
In her first year of graduate school, she published a research paper that shocked the world.
"Research on human cloning and the inability of artificial intelligence to generate autonomous consciousness."
In her paper, she pointed out a word that is often mentioned in Marxist philosophy - subjective initiative.
Artificial intelligence and clones have never been able to truly possess independent consciousness, and what they probably lack is subjective initiative.
This is a surprising study comparing the similarities between clones and artificial intelligence.
They can imitate your movements, imitate your way of thinking, and can even download the consciousness of others into the body of a clone, perfectly replicating an identical "humanoid" creature, but it is still not a human.
Its activities are still mainly based on imitation, and it does not have independent consciousness in the true sense. This is also very obvious in animals, and it can even be said to be the fundamental characteristic that distinguishes animals from humans.
At the end of her paper, she also proposed a conjecture that education may be the fundamental way to maintain this subjective initiative.
Education is a people-based practical activity that promotes individual socialization and social individualization.
In the process of human development, our ancestors did not transmit their experience to the next generation by directly telling them knowledge, but used the ambiguous method of education to allow the next generation to gradually understand, which may contain other deeper meanings.
Therefore, once the downloaded knowledge of the Mewtwo world is completely abused, people will lose their education and the consequences may be devastating.
In fact, only Luo Congmin dared to say this. After all, the great depression ended less than three years ago, and everyone tried to avoid sensitive topics as much as possible. If Luo Congmin did not have two wall-facers, Lin Xuan and Luo Ji, behind her, she might have been arrested when she put forward this view that was completely inconsistent with the mainstream view.
However, this view was later refuted by many parties in the academic community. The reason for their rebuttal was very simple, that is, the Trisolarans also used an educational method similar to that of the Mewtwo world to transfer knowledge to the next generation, so why were they fine?
Luo Congmin also gave his own point of view, that is a deformed social product caused by the survival of civilization in a harsh environment.
The development of the Trisolarans is absolutely distorted. From science and technology to humanities, everything is extremely distorted.
This has something to do with their living environment. After all, if someone has three suns above his head, the first thing he would think of is not developing humanities education, but how to avoid disasters.
In the end, the two sides engaged in a debate that lasted for more than a year about whether education should exist, and the academic community was divided into two major schools: the education school and the transmission school.
But the person who really made the final decision was an inconspicuous person.
A meteorologist——Bai Bing!
"I want to see Lin Xuan."
Bai Bing straightened his shirt and said to the guard.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin Xuan's schedule is full today. If you want to see Mr. Lin Xuan, you need to make an appointment with Earth International in advance."
Bai Bing naturally did not have the qualifications to make an appointment with Lin Xuan from Earth International, but he still took out a USB flash drive, handed it to the guard, and stuffed a large sum of money into the other party's pocket.
"Good work."
After the security guard received the money, he naturally had to help the other party.
After being passed around many times, the USB flash drive finally ended up in Lin Xuan's hands.
Lin Xuan opened the USB drive and opened the MP4 video inside.
The content of the video is very brief and is roughly divided into three sections.
First, the video introduces Bai Bing's identity, an ordinary meteorologist, and one of his small inventions.
A software called [Mirror].
This software can simulate the creation of different universes and everything that happened after their creation. As long as different creation parameters are input, different universes can be simulated. After finding the parameters of the universe where the earth is located, it can simulate everything that has happened on the earth since its birth. Everything will be exposed to people using the mirror simulation software, and the whole world will be as transparent as a mirror.
This is a bit like Lin Xuan's [Star Wars: Civilization].
However, this software is relatively crude and its predictions can only be used as a rough reference and have no practical significance.
In the video, Bai Bing first briefly explained the functions of the software to Lin Xuan and showed him some basic parameter adjustments.
For example: If all living things on Earth were deleted, then the Earth would become a deserted dead planet with no one living on it.
In fact, Yang Dong has also verified this point in the original plot. The current environment of the earth is completely the result of biological transformation, and it is not that it has always been like that.
Once all life is lost, the earth will become a gray area, with no rivers or mountains, let alone grasslands or forests.
But what Bai Bing wanted to show Lin Xuan was not this, but the software's predictions about people.
Because Sophon has blocked the development prospects of quantum computers, the largest computer currently owned by humans is Lin Xuan's Superdream Database.
Bai Bing's meaning is very clear. He predicted that if one has a computer with infinite computing power, then if this computing power is used on a person, it will be possible to predict this person's future destiny.
In other words, it is called action trajectory.
The computer can integrate everything a person has experienced from birth to growth, and complete the comparison with known databases to finally get the person's future life trajectory.
The saying "You can tell a person's future from the age of three" is exactly this truth.
This thing is not unfamiliar to Lin Xuan. To use a more accurate term, it should be called [big data analysis].
So what would happen if computers were able to predict a person's future?
This is the third part that Bai Bing showed to Lin Xuan.
The research parameter he targeted was the assessment of people's crime rate.
With his software combined with the infinite computing power of quantum computers, people's potential for crime will be visualized.
That is to say, based on your movement trajectory, I can roughly calculate when you will commit a crime and what the probability of the crime is.
With such a magical tool, the public security and judicial departments can complete the early capture of criminals.
This operation is a bit like the plot in the movie "Minority Report", where the public security will nip all evil in the bud.
But this is not what Bai Bing ultimately wants to present to Lin Xuan.
At the end of the video, Bai Bing simulated a "world without crime".
That means that all crime could be nipped in the bud and everyone could become good people.
However, due to the big data algorithm, the "good people" considered by the machine actually have exactly the same personalities.
Be full of fantasies about the future and be full of kindness to the people around you.
Everyone became a "good kid".
However, something unexpected happened. Human humanities and social sciences fell into a state of complete stagnation. People's thinking, ideas, and personalities were consistent. Any different person could be regarded as a "bad person". The whole society was full of people with the same personality.
This is very scary!
Just like what Lin Xuan is doing now.
The Mewtwo world has given everyone knowledge, allowing everyone to easily access endless knowledge, but the final price is that the entire human society will lose its differentiation.
