It's a pity that even though Snowden is a master of rhythm control, he understands that when things happen, not all plots will go in the direction he expects, and the most difficult to disassemble is the mysteries of himself. And charisma, even with his careful control and cover-up, is on a par with the event itself he wants to reveal. When we turn to look at the truth he revealed, we don't know whether it's because of our own identity issues or other, but it doesn't seem so surprising;
some people may say that the first world people who have never been bullied I am dumbfounded. My own government is always listening to the slander and conducting surveillance, turning its guns on its own people. This is a struggle with us as a class enemy! The story of 1984 happened in real life in 2013. We are the American emperors living in freedom? Are you sure this isn't Cold War East Germany!
Having lived in the U.S. Empire, I know that there are many innocent Americans who hold such thoughts and have never been bullied; they will tell you with a sad face that they really can't accept it, this is too fucked up, privacy In this way, the government they voted for was violated all the time, and could not bear it every minute; but there are quite a lot of sober, not so naive Americans, their emotions are between helplessness and embarrassment. In fact, they already knew it, but they didn't really believe it or insisted on pursuing it to the end, until a young serious and philosophical programmer slapped you in the face with a thick stack of ppt, and did not go through any People agree to stand on the moral beacon that they have built for themselves;
in the documentary, I was impressed by a sentence that Snowden said while sitting on a hotel bed. He said that his motivation for exposing the Prism incident was because he felt that the government and citizens The balance of power between the two countries was disrupted in this matter, and civil liberties were seriously violated. This is a clear betrayal of the core values of the founding of the United States; and another impressive statement came from a speaker at a relevant hearing from the European Union, who said that in this day and age the words privacy and liberty are equated, and when your privacy Your rights are violated, and your freedom is limited.
In fact, since the day when the smart game of politics was invented, human beings have stood at the two ends of private and public ownership, and have started an infinite wrestling with this monster that they have created; whether it is contract theory or The transfer of public power, standing under any basic framework, human society needs but cannot control the self-reproduction of power and desire. It can be restrained, but not eliminated; so when modern society develops to this level, everyone More and more emphasis is placed on private rights and freedom, which shows that the space for individual freedom is being squeezed smaller and smaller.
And this Uncle Sam, who claims to be the freest in the free world, and who is always complacent about it, is actually a sneaky, wretched eccentric. vehemently denied. Power is so arrogant here and everywhere. After 9/11, the U.S. government did not even spend much effort to pass the various centralized bills, and finally showed his ugly and domineering side in the long ten years that followed. Americans also avoided their own decisions. The excitement of the year now seems to be It is extremely stupid; and the so-called democracy and legal system, separation of powers and freedom, may be able to come out like a puppet and wave to the people during the general election of 2468, but at the moment when the fig leaf is torn off, even the Americans themselves can't face the fact that the so-called democratic system and freedom of speech are still back to the experience game played by the white elites of the upper class in 1776. They are not serious and unfair at all. They are surrounded by a group. Quan sat at the long walnut table and looked at the innocent citizens with a sarcastic expression.
It is a pity that this super-intelligence with an atomic structure created by ordinary molecular structure human beings has been playing with human beings quietly for thousands of years; for the desire, human beings have created a Levitan, when this man is showing his teeth and claws. When the behemoth began to eat people, human beings did not have the power to restrain the monsters they created, but in a few hundred years, this monster has evolved and evolved, he has mutated, upgraded, replaced, and has the ability to think, you can Call him Heavenly Eye or Prism. He is so pervasive, but human beings can never close or kill this monster, because desire is the perpetual motion of human beings. , we are infinitely close to God.... So a monster raised by human hands finally started its own era of Ultron today. Who can say that this is not the prelude to Ragnarok?
After watching the movie, I remembered an incident from last summer:
I spent the whole summer of 2014 with my boyfriend who just graduated from Berkeley but didn't immediately pack up and leave. During that time, I was very leisurely, driving around the whole Bay Area at night. The nighttime recreational activities in Bocun were about the same as eating and watching movies. As a novice studying a first-level subject, one day I asked my boyfriend a very novice second-level subject common sense question:
"Hey, what exactly is quantum mechanics?"
My boyfriend who studied third-level subjects, Shanshanhaihaidi, pulled out some junior high school physics knowledge for me to review. According to the common sense that the current scientific research level has reached the molecular level, he reversed it again. Ask me:
"Do you know what human beings are made of?"
"... cells?"
"What are cells made of?"
"...macromolecules?"
"Yes, so In general, the research of quantum physics is to continue at the molecular level, some studies at the atomic level and subatomic level."
So at that time I was like "Oh... intelligent human beings are still very powerful, so the molecular level I have already figured out the time to move on to the next level.” Then my boyfriend, who was aroused by my desire to tell the story, began to ask again:
“Then do you know what this means?”
“...What? "
Think about it, human beings are a kind of creature based on molecular structure, and what quantum mechanics is fiddling with now is the atomic or even subatomic level after breaking through the molecular structure. That is to say, suppose that one day scientists Using the atomic structure to create a living body based on the atomic structure, have you ever thought about the situation?"
"Uh..."
"Humans are only living bodies based on the molecular structure, but they have to break the The limit of molecular structure, trying to approach or even use a thing that is more advanced than our own structure, so there is still a quantum leap between us and quantum physics."
"And now the most cutting-edge human beings can master. The technology is said to have been mastered, but the energy to open the nucleus is not at all reached, so we are still far from breaking the quantum leap, but it is indeed getting closer, and it will be reached one day. When qualitative changes are caused, the quantum leap may be broken."
I looked at him with a black face and asked,
"If we want to break it by then, what if we really create a biological experience that is more advanced in structure than humans? We really want to break the quantum leap. "Huh ?" The
boyfriend looked at me with a relaxed expression and replied:
Haha, this question is up to you who study first-level subjects to answer.
So, have we really missed the quantum leap?
