Before we talk about their motives, we should talk about why humans can't forgive such things as murder. It may be that in ancient times, human beings only had one child a year, and it was easy to have dystocia, miscarriage or something. And after a family is established, children are invaluable as an important human resource. After all, the physical strength of the parents’ generation was very easy to be exhausted at that time. I think people at that time almost lost their ability to produce household materials when they were in their 40s. Because mothers were pregnant every year, they basically did not. Lost the ability to work, so the next generation is very, very important for the continuation of the family and the continuation of the father's genes, which has resulted in a very, very big hatred of killing children. cannot fail to report.
What about the Pearl Stars?
The setting of the movie is that, in the eyes of humans, this race is similar to the primitive natives, living a life without IQ and poetry, and erasing it is insignificant. But think about it, if God really exists, maybe God really just looks like a barefooted, long-haired uncle in a linen robe. Don't Pearl Stars and God make life so poetic because they have crossed over to relying on technology? The reason why we still use all kinds of communication, production, and living facilities and equipment is because we cannot do without the assistance of these foreign objects. In fact, things like mobile phones, laptops, and military equipment are single-function and very expensive. Resources are things that should be discarded in the future.
But the humans in the movie are very short-sighted and decide to sacrifice the Pearl Stars.
The most terrifying aspect of the Pearl Stars was finally revealed after the planet was destroyed. Their powerful learning ability!
To be able to quickly become familiar with and master the knowledge and technology of aliens, transform a non-functional alien warship into a fully functional star travel-class mother ship, that is an entire ecosystem, they rely on their hands. Touching and thinking of the brain will solve it.
Moreover, after they arrived at the City of Thousand Stars, they continued to learn the technology of the International Space Station, dreaming of building an ecosystem that was almost identical to the parent star in the past, and then flying away and living freely. In the end, everything is ready, except for the power source to charge the powertrain. This led to the story of robbing the transport beast.
It should be noted that if it is not for the narrow view of hatred of human beings, worrying about the other party's revenge every minute, and starting to intervene in the transaction of transforming the beast in advance, this movie will not happen later at all.
Therefore, the motive of the Pearl Star people not to take revenge is based on the fact that their own race is a very sound race, and each member has a near-perfect survival ability, so the children of a single family are not so important. On the contrary, blind revenge will arouse the opponent's alertness when the escape conditions are not available, thereby destroying the entire mother star reconstruction plan.
Pearl star's choice is the best choice.
If we were to ask ourselves how to cope with the pressure of social competition, the answer of this film is: learning.
Continue to learn the knowledge of survival in the new environment, and then substitute your most advantageous abilities (for example, the biggest advantage of the Pearl Stars is to master the powerful energy of pearls). Only in this way can we reverse the unfavorable situation and gain financial freedom, time freedom, and space freedom.
It should also be noted that it took the Pearl Stars 30 years from the destruction of their mother planet to the re-entry of the sea of stars, and it took 30 years of the entire efforts of the surviving races.
As ordinary people, we do not have the super IQ of the Pearl Stars, so we have to persist in learning for a long time.
From the perspective of the movie, the so-called learning is the knowledge that needs to be acquired to re-adapt to the new environment after the learning environment changes, and to master the resources according to the knowledge. to achieve success. This does not include the time of being confused, paying attention to details, forgetting the direction and taking detours.
Perhaps, this is Luc Besson's generalization of world progress.
Another point is that no matter which species, no matter which person, has shortcomings and advantages, I do not agree with the argument of learning from each other's strengths, because your weaknesses are the same as your strengths. If you stay at home for a long time, leave the society, and reappear in the society without losing your strengths, it means that your weaknesses will not disappear because of your continuous learning. The only thing that can be done is to try to use the strengths as much as possible, to use the advantages as much as possible. Let things go as far as possible towards scenarios where you can use your strengths perfectly. Defeat all enemies (become the dominant species in this scene) in the home field that suits you best.
One more point, I think it's psychological. Is there a feeling that if you are busy with a complex calculation at first, then the task increases, and you have to perform another activity that requires energy. At this time, you will be very irritable, and after a period of time, you can adjust your brain and perform two activities at the same time. The conversion between the two tasks is a kind of self-depletion. The period of grief after the loss of a loved one is a kind of self-depletion, which is of no benefit. Smart people have the ability to switch quickly, or they can train themselves to overcome ego depletion in a short period of time and quickly move on to the next task. Why is it that when taking an exam, especially when faced with a complex multiple-choice question, you often find yourself extremely stupid when you get the correct answer afterwards, and choose an extremely stupid answer without seeing what the question is about? Doing the same question again is often wrong. If it is explained by computer principles, is it true that the knowledge you review for the exam is equivalent to what is memorized on the hard disk. When faced with a specific problem, it needs to be called into memory for operation. But a specific question is not only one thread at a time, that is, the question will not only ask you how much one plus one equals, it may ask you, a two-headed star entered an avatar club and shot an avatar to death, yes Whoever kills someone, what kind of punishment will they suffer if they violate the Star Human Rights Protection Law, etc., is equivalent to running several threads at the same time and making several judgments. At this time, if you are an ordinary IQ person, your hard disk may be fine, but the memory is not enough. If the memory is not enough, you can only choose the answer obtained by the simplest operation that takes up the least memory and fill in the matter. Although, if you calm down and count slowly, you may do it right, but there is still a time limit for the overall test, and you know this limit, so you can only solve the problem like this. Then mistakes are unavoidable. This is what the so-called candidates complain about afterwards. The questions are digging holes everywhere.
As for how to get high marks in exams, I really don't know, because my brain's working memory is really not enough. Can only envy the pearl star.
