The future is the era of "burning books and pitting Confucianism"

Reminders, warnings, worries and reflections on the future era of artificial intelligence and big data, human beings machined and robotized.

When the old woman and the book set themselves on fire, can people who do not read remain indifferent?

Times are changing, and books and culture should continue. To make good use of technology, to use technology with caution, and to cherish human civilization is to respect ourselves.

Let yourself slow down, pay attention to our surroundings, then follow the steps, and then go to work, admire every scenery in life...

Why do we have to let machines replace us? Why does life have to destroy itself?

These are actually not related to freedom and happiness, but related to a more thorough and essential life body.

Fahrenheit 451 quotes

  • Clarisse McClellan: Why do I always make you nervous?

    Guy Montag: You don't.

    Clarisse McClellan: When I see you burning up Eel's lives, you don't look nervous.

    Guy Montag: That's because I'm very good at my job.

    Clarisse McClellan: Hmm. Have you ever thought, even for one second, why you do what you do? You should try reading before burning.

  • Captain Beatty: Do you want to know what's inside all these books? Insanity. The Eels want to measure their place in the universe, so they turn to these novels about non-existent people. Or worse, philosophers. Look, here's Spinoza. One expert screaming down another expert's throat. "We have free will. No, all of our actions are predetermined." Each one says the opposite, and a man comes away lost, feeling more bestial and lonely than before. Now, if you don't want a person unhappy, you don't give them two sides of a question to worry about.

    Guy Montag: Just give 'em one.

    Captain Beatty: Better yet, none.
