1. The more science and technology develops, the more blurred the boundary between materialism and idealism
With the development of science and technology, when human society reaches the 23rd century, many of the wishes we once dreamed of have been easily realized. Whether it's mind reading or invisibility, people in the 23rd century can better control their own brain waves . Therefore, brain waves have become an important resource.
When this kind of resource faces the risk of persecution, is the moral binding force sufficient? This issue is discussed in Xie Changhua's "Brainstorm".
As a 23rd century writer, Xiao Lifu prefers to write in an original way. Of course, his primitiveness is actually our daily life in the 21st century - voice input.
Regarding the more popular brain wave output method, Xiao Lifu’s emotions are a bit complicated. Brainwaves are an existence that people really love and hate. On the one hand, the advancement of science and technology has brought about innovations in all areas of life, and our lives have become more and more convenient. But at the same time, there are some spiritual crises hidden in it, which are really worrying.
Human nature has changed little over the centuries. People in the 23rd century have more privacy concepts. Even the greetings to each other have become "Is it convenient for you?" The traditional marriage certificate is no longer available, and people's unions are more for the continuation of life. This scene in "Brainstorm" made me lament the meaning of marriage. If the marriage policy is destined to die, what is the significance of our persistence now? The author of
didn't give much explanation for this, and I just stopped and had doubts.
2. What we yearn for the most is the simple human fireworks
From the novel "Brainstorm", we can see many modern technologies. For example, "big data" and "mobile payment", but in the 23rd century, people have upgraded these technologies.
The impact of technological upgrades on people's lives is nothing more than this. The biggest crisis lies in people's pursuit of "meaning".
When we are tired of robbing resources and want to enjoy life again, the simplest and sweetest days are the most full of surprises.
I don’t know if this is progress or regression. At the end of "Brainstorm", we discovered that people in the 23rd century still like the fun of farming civilization, which is amazing.
As time goes by, what I yearn for most are the simple human fireworks. Move your body, soak in the sunshine, plant crops, and watch your children grow up.
Life can be so beautiful, without the blessing of too much technology.
3. Geobrainstorm, the final destruction of the global intelligent data system.
wants to rescan and collect the brain data of outstanding humans. Whether this matter is ethical or not, the curtain has finally come to an end in the fierce evolution.
With the destruction of the global intelligent data system, people have returned to their original lives. Reinvigorate, and the glorious reappearance of farming civilization.
This seems to be what the author wants to give us: Throw away technology, what else is the most important existence in life?
Now, with plenty of food and warm sunshine, is actually the best time.
We really don’t need to be obsessed with the future. The best future is our present. Cherishing the present is the greatest respect for life.
