The plot is cut from a group of interviews:
people with high IQ and high education level will consider factors such as work and economics not to have children, and when they decide to have children, the male masturbates to death; on the contrary, people with average IQs have many children, and each other Fighting, several generations in the same house. An experiment to freeze human sleep was carried out at a military base, where a prostitute and an idle army librarian were frozen. As a result, the base was destroyed six months later, and the experiment was forgotten. When the test box was thrown open, they woke up 500 years later.
As people with high IQs are sterile and people with low IQs continue to multiply, people's IQ levels are getting lower and lower. People at that time drank energy drinks and ate high-calorie foods, tap water was only used to flush toilets, and crops were watered with drinks because they said it contained electrolytes, but was it effective? What is the composition of electrolytes? They have never thought about why it can't be replaced by water; people are not used to long paragraphs of formal conversations, which are all wrong expressions of fragments, not to mention the ability to understand and logical thinking; artificial intelligence makes medical transportation and life very convenient, just Even the sofa that sits and watches TV has a toilet; and the TV content is a 90-minute static muscle picture, which makes the audience laugh and won an Oscar... The crops are not long, the garbage is piled up, the sandstorm and other environments Problems, recessions, etc., are getting worse and worse, and there is no way to fix them.
When people are surprised to find that the protagonist does not have a QR code on his arm and pretends to be B when he speaks, normal people cannot understand the responsibility and ridicule of his crimes, but there is no way. When the people around you are abnormal, your Normal is wrong. During the prison test, the simple and mentally retarded test questions stumped everyone else. The protagonist's "high IQ" was highlighted. He became the person with the highest IQ in the country and was appointed to the cabinet to be responsible for solving all problems. problem.
He knows his abilities, and he also knows that he is not a genius with outstanding IQ. He wants to take a time machine and go back 500 years, not to participate in this experiment, and tell future generations to study hard, study hard, think hard, and be diligent, and don't become the present look. He irrigated the dealer with tap water, which led to the unemployment of a large number of people in the beverage factory. His anger and doubts led him to be arrested and imprisoned again. When people all over the country enjoyed being hit and beaten by a truck, the heroine inadvertently saw green seedlings growing out of the crops outside, which was filmed with a camera and broadcast to everyone. In the end, the hero was pardoned and became the vice president. He began to call for reading books to practice calligraphy, to shoot movies with plots, and to learn to use technology to solve problems.
Without commenting on the editor's loopholes, from the perspective of the film's story content, he gave us a lot of thinking. The convenience of life now makes people more and more lazy to think. Especially recently, I have seen too many graduate students asking the same question many times in the group, or simply go to Baidu, or just think about it and know the answer The question, I am speechless, more anxious. Why are people now used to reaching out to ask and take, but not willing to think for themselves? Why? What's going on? How to deal with it?
The truth I knew when I was a child is that the brain will rust if it is not used for a long time. Nowadays, people who understand technology and understand human nature are constantly improving technical equipment and services, making people's lives more and more convenient, and they don't need to think more and more. The answer can be found at your fingertips from online searches, and when all problems can be solved by the outside world, we don’t need to think about the cause and solution of the problem. In the long run, we will become animals that can’t think, and everything depends on electronic equipment. parasites. If in science fiction movies, we, who are becoming more and more lazy and stupid, are ruled by more and more intelligent robots, what should we do then?
This is a signal, a wake-up call, and a reminder to myself. Don't be lazy thinking people, we are human because we can think and think, if one day, this skill of yours degenerates, you will no longer have the advantage of survival.
