It is emphasized here that environmental protection and environmentalism should be distinguished. Environmental protection is a concept, just like saving, it belongs to an individual’s self-directed behavior to consciously maintain one’s own environment. This is no problem. But many problems are worse when they rise to the level of ideology. Hu Shi said back then that he should study more issues and talk less about doctrines, but at that time no one listened to him and even scolded him. What are the characteristics of environmentalism? It is coercive, forcing others to make sacrifices for the environment, or to contribute to the environment. Not to mention that there are still a lot of people who seek personal gain in the name of environmental protection?
Well, let's not grumble about environmentalism. Going back to this movie, the first hour of the movie is actually subtly telling us that not only is the concept of environmental protection bad, but also pessimistic. The government has tried to drop bombs in the stratosphere to reduce the population, which is the most extreme way to force the sacrifice of some people for the overall environmental good. This is no different from the fact that many environmentalists are using people's fears to force people to reduce energy use and sacrifice their own development.
In the movie, in order to protect the environment negatively and pessimistically, they also did another thing, tampering with history and obliterating people's dreams of rushing out of the earth. This aspect is also the idea of the public. They do not want limited resources to be wasted on these illusory things, so the NASA can only operate secretly like an underground organization. The children's textbooks also described the moon landing as a hoax.
what's the result? All the clinging is just lingering, the environment is getting worse and worse, and the crops are killed one by one. The good news may be that those who formulate these guidelines and policies may still have a peaceful life. Disaster will fall on Murphy's generation. Like Murphy's Law says: If you worry about something happening, it's more likely to happen.
There may be only one answer to this reality. Professor Brand, played by Michael Caine, answered Cooper's question about how we can save the planet: "We don't save the planet, we leave it." And want to do this One point requires a huge investment, and more important than this is the freedom to act autonomously.
Czech President Vaclav Klaus (I have to say, this small country is really talented) wrote a pamphlet called "Violence for the Environment". The book points out that if there is an "ultimate resource", it is nothing but human beings, the inventions and creations of human beings, and the diligent efforts of human beings. If this resource is to be realized, it must have the freedom to act autonomously. It is these autonomous actions that form the market. In the market, it is precisely because of the increase in resource scarcity that the price rises, "disappearing" resources are "continuously and smoothly replaced by other resources, or saved through more economical consumption". Conversely, if environmentalists really intend to limit the market, the development of technology and the utilization of resources based on their static judgments about the future, they will really change our "ultimate resource" - human creativity. become a "scarce resource". When wealth and creativity are curbed, and the drive for sustainable development is lost, then it really sits on the back burner, and then, as environmentalists wish, holding high the banner of environmental protection, it will go to destruction.
So what should we do? "The Violence of Environmental Protection" finally gave this answer: do nothing. Just let the spontaneity of human activity solve the problem. The sum of the results of millions of sensible, rational, and independently acting individuals absolutely trumps any deliberate design of the course of human society. At the end of the book, Krauss said: We should encourage and promote ecological awareness, ecological sensitivity and concern for ecology, but it should be spontaneous and pluralistic, rather than forcing all kinds of prohibitions and prohibitions.
Back in the movie, Professor Brand finally made a mistake that idealists often make. He sacrificed others for his ideals. He didn't plan to save the human beings on earth at all. He just wanted to let human beings start anew. Also agreeing is Dr. Mann, played by Ma, whose ideas coupled with his own timidity have led him down the wrong path. And what this tells us is that many high-profile idealists seem to be highly respected, and when you convert to the past fanatically, he may sell you for righteousness or personal gain.
Many viewers talked about Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem" when watching this movie. In fact, Da Liu also has his own views on environmental protection. At the Hong Kong Book Fair a few years ago, Da Liu gave a keynote speech entitled "One and One Hundred Thousand Earths". He said: "Now, we have seen the fact that human beings have given up 100,000 earths in space, and only intend to survive on this earth, and their means of survival is environmental protection, which is as arduous as space development. Equally risky business... Now, humanity is on the eve of the second great age of voyages. We are now even in a better position than Columbus, who couldn't see the new continent he was looking for, after a few days of sailing the Atlantic He has not seen land yet, and his heart must be full of hesitation at this time. The new world we want to explore can be seen when we look up, but no one has come to pay this money. Perhaps, human civilization as a whole, Just like individual human babies, without the help of their parents, they can never get out of the cradle."
Actually, I also know that maybe Nolan and Thorne have no anti-environmental ideas at all, and it's me who is here to penetrate Attached. But one thing is certain, that is, this movie tells us that freedom and emotion are the most important values of human beings, and only in pursuit of such values can human beings have the courage to break through all shackles.
