1. Five factions, highly specialized. The friendly faction is responsible for production and provides food and materials for the entire society (although the book does not mention industrial production, but after analysis, it should be played by the friendly faction); the fearless faction is responsible for public security and provides security for the entire society (because it is an ideal society Experiments, so for two hundred years, there has been no foreign enemy invasion, so there is no national defense task); the just faction (honest faction) is responsible for the justice system and handles disputes and adjudication of the entire city; the erudite faction is responsible for scientific research and becomes the research and development base for various industries; the selfless faction is responsible for Administration (State Council), coordinating relations between factions and mediating social conflicts. The joint supreme committee of the five factions is responsible for legislation, major policies and emergency handling (the National People's Congress and the Politburo)
2. The number of factions should vary greatly, which is the biggest challenge to the ideal social model. The friendly faction should have a large demand for labor, but there may not be many voluntary choices to join the friendly faction (75%); the number of the fearless faction is not too many, because there are not so many tasks to perform (1%); the number of justists There won’t be many, there would be so many disputes in an ideal society (1%); the number of selfless people will not be too many, nor too few, after all, few people are willing to be selfless, but administrative service agencies also need a certain amount of labor (5%); The Erudite should have fewer people than the Friendly, but more than the other factions (15%-20%). This model will lead to system errors. Once the departments that need labor are not available, and the departments that want to go are full, it will lead to a sharp increase in the number of non-sectarians.
3. Prenatal and postnatal care, comprehensive test of personality attributes.
4. Faction is higher than blood. Respect self-selection, but individuals need to bear the consequences of their choices.
5. Elites are still elites, which is the driving force for society to move forward.
6. Loser will be better than in other societies, because there are selfless factions who will help them, but Loser is Loser, they are called no faction.
7. Everyone was at peace with each other originally, but the only person who is not allowed to appear in the society is called the divergent person, that is, the male protagonist in the moving maze and the heroine of the play.
The answer is simple, curiosity killed the cat, because the dissenters are the only ones who have the motivation and ability, they are the group of people who hope and have the ability to go to places other than Xanadu. It is handled in such a way that no one dares to publicly acknowledge and discuss the existence of those who disagree.
8. In recent years, there have been discordant voices. The selfless faction, as the most trusted and supported ruling party by all factions, is suspected of covering up and hiding those who disagree. This does not compromise the erudite faction who never rubs the sand in their eyes and enforces discipline. The dreadnoughts of the sect are absolutely intolerable, so their alliance to overthrow the rule of the altruistic faction is another excuse for "for all mankind".
9. In fact, the selfless faction is not wronged. The reason is that the leader of the selfless faction found that his wife was a disagreement, and he adopted the most unwise method, domestic violence. If he betrays his wife, he will still be the leader, but he loves his wife and can't bear it. He shields his wife, but he is not a disagreement, so his fear and disgust for disagreement in his bones makes him unable to accept his wife completely. He chooses the stupidest and most helpless way to abuse his wife. In the end, by issuing a fake death certificate, the wife became the leader of the no faction, and by the way, their son will also become one of the leaders of the dissent. The family is a leader.
10. The selfless faction is indeed not innocent, because the leader of the selfless faction also shielded the son of a dissident, and his shielding method was the most stupid abuse, so that the son chose to cut off his relationship with his father and provided an excuse for his political opponents.
11. Selfless also committed the unforgivable felony: hiding the last words of creation in a family of dissenters.
12. With so many counts for which evidence has been obtained, is it not a good reason to overturn it? That's what the erudites and the dreadnoughts think. But how to overthrow is a matter of strategy and politics. Rather than adopting the democratization principle of public trials, the Erudites opted for a coup. "For the sake of all mankind" has become an excuse again, and the key is to seize power. At this point, the story returns to the main theme of resisting tyranny.
13. Here, the heroine and the hero are just unimportant little characters, they grow up and fall in love happily. Of course. until the second part.
14. The erudite and the fearless have good reasons, but why do they represent evil? Because of system errors and program errors.
15. Let’s talk about procedural errors first. If the erudite faction and the fearless faction were not too conceited and selfish, and took the lead in destroying the system structure and violating the principle of co-governance by the five factions, they would not lose. They can openly overthrow the coalition government of the selfless faction and form a new coalition government inclined to the erudite faction and the fearless faction. But the odds are high. After all, no faction can easily be divided and disintegrated. As long as a joint expansion of the five factions is carried out, the wavering elements of no faction will be dealt with. The erudite faction and the fearless faction, however, chose an obvious error in procedure, expelled the left wing of the fearless faction, illegally massacred the entire selfless faction, threatened the friendly faction, attacked the justice faction, and all of a sudden offended all the allies, but the hostile forces grew rapidly. , leading to the rapid failure of the erudite school.
16. Besides, the system is wrong. The five factions jointly rule, but adopt a policy of eliminating those who disagree and adopt a policy of marginalizing those without factions. The reason is guessed as follows: the destructive force of those who disagree is too strong, and any faction has the power to balance and restrict, only those who disagree can not balance and restrict, once the dissenters form a unified force, it will definitely override the five factions. , creating a risk of systemic paranoia. (To paraphrase the lines of "Langya Bang": You don't need to rebel, as long as you have the conditions to rebel, you must die.) No faction is the loser of each faction. They do not have the ability to become the backbone of each faction, but society cannot afford it either. Huge parenting risk. Dwarfing, belittling, and marginalizing no faction is to reduce the cost of social operation. The almsgiving of the selfless faction is considered a minimum guarantee.
17. The premise of the normal operation of the five faction co-governance system: the number of different factions is very small, and they are quickly killed; the number of people without factions must be limited to a very low range, so as to reduce system risks (for example, if the unemployment rate among the 1.6 billion population of the Chinese dynasty is very low) If it reaches 2%, it is 24 million unstable factors. Through organizational structure innovation, an urban management organization is established, 1 million social instability factors are added to the establishment, and another 1 million unstable factors are added to the coordinating management organization that does not occupy the establishment as needed. Reduced the unstable factors by 6%-7%. Of course, this method cannot be repeated again and again. The main force of the expansion of the five factions should be placed in the production department, which is the key point of breakthrough).
18. The wrong premise of the five-sect co-governance system: the number of dissidents is increasing, and due to the fact that each faction hides in private (don’t you see the honest faction hides a few dissidents [that cute little girl is the flesh and blood of the honest faction] ] This is the honest faction), which has led to the fact that the number of divergent factions has reached a point that cannot be ignored; the forces without factions are enough to cause riots (the divergentists who faked their death 19 years ago are now the leader of the largest faction in the rivers and lakes) . However, the system cannot give early warning in time and make effective responses, and the revolution is imminent.
19. The purpose of the five factions co-governance experiment is nothing more than two: to explore the ideal social structure and to cultivate superior races. Although there are ethical disputes between these two purposes, from the film, the public purpose of the five-sect co-governance experiment is to maintain the ideal social structure, and the private purpose is to cultivate superior races.
20. The female protagonist is No.1, with 100% of the characteristics of divergent people, she is the only one who can open the last words of creation.
21. Creation's last words say that what they are waiting for is the appearance of the heroine, which means that this model has evolved into a "perfect person", which is an ideal personality. The experiment is over, and everyone can go home.
22. But revolutions are destructive, and the success of revolutions will not self-evolve an ideal social structure. Divergents and non-sectarians are bound to demand that the new regime grant them due and even special rights, and whether the original social structure will remain will be controversial. This is the mystery that must be unraveled in the next chapter.
Summary: The cultivation of superior races is itself an anti-human proposition. So let's wait and see for the next work.
