Genes became the only passport. The gene is defective, and even the door can't be brushed in.
This is the world that many people imagined (including me) - you can find out what kind of job you are suitable for by taking a test, whether it is worth it or not, not necessarily a lifelong struggle; a strand of hair, or even a piece of dandruff, can test whether you two are not Perfect match, can it last forever. How beautiful and efficient, it saves all unnecessary attempts and laborless tossing. Presumably, people in that world must find it funny and pitiful to see the "low-level us" now, watching countless people jumping around in directions that are not suitable for them, accomplishing nothing and living a life of mediocrity. However, the "destined" four people sound so moving, but if they go to the extreme, they are so terrifying. People don't even bother to see if that face is you, and leave everything to the machine. You are just a bunch of data, a bunch of formulas, and the valid/in-valid result displayed on that screen is your destiny. Humans basically remove all uncertainty, you just need to follow the route set by your genes.
However, without uncertainty, it means that all possibilities are lost. Such a life, even as a high-quality race, would it be obvious and boring?
At the end of the day, one's life is a struggle with uncertainty. From ancient times to ask God and ask hexagrams, measure birth date, to modern horoscope, look at palmistry and look at feng shui, including various schools of thought constantly put forward various algorithm models, to today's ubiquitous big data prediction, the unanimous motivation behind this They all want to predict the future in advance and prepare for possible uncertainties in advance. However, as stated in "Antifragile", out of fear of uncertainty, people design a control system to avoid risks and eliminate uncertainty, which will lead to more "black swan" events. It can be as small as an individual, as large as an entire society, or enlarged to the entire evolutionary history of nature.
The real hero is not avoiding uncertainty, or even not being afraid of it, but actively embracing it.
Of course, biotechnology and computer technology must be an irresistible trend, and elites from all walks of life are also using these technologies to upgrade their lives, just like a new book "Homo Deus" by the author of "A Brief History of Humanity". ", literally translated as "God Man", he predicts that we are about to evolve from Homo sapiens to "God Man", maybe it is the world similar to the movie, or even more than that world. Even in the future, we will not only believe in genes, but will further transform genes to combine people with machines, and finally become pure machines—perhaps the ultimate state of artificial intelligence. 11 In the past few days, I have seen Mr. Wan Weigang's interpretation of this book, and his three views have been completely destroyed. That kind of "destruction" doesn't mean weirdness, but it's brain-opening to subversion, to shock, to depression, to confusion. But anyway, millions of years ago, Homo sapiens could stand out from a bunch of human races, and it is very important that Homo sapiens (possibly by accidental genetic mutation) had the ability to imagine, make up, and imagine/ Fiction up things that haven't happened yet, things that don't exist at all, and make everyone believe them. For example, totems, religions, countries, companies, societies, etc., these empty concepts actually come from people's imagination. In short -
it is not our perception of reality that drives human progress, but the imaginary reality in our minds, which is the power of religion. Here, I think religion can be extended to all beliefs, everything you believe. (The basis for the operation of the world in the movie is that everyone believes in the rule that "genes determine everything". And this is just a belief.)
So, it is the popular saying: what you believe, you are.
If you believe that everything is destined by God, you should just go with it and be content with the status quo.
You believe your potential is limitless, embrace uncertainty, and challenge apparent ceilings.
In fact, it doesn't matter who is right or who is wrong, the former can also be happy and happy, and the latter may not be able to twist his arms around his thighs and end in a bleak finish.
Just one thing is certain, with different beliefs, the fate will be very different.
Here, the belief of the born-defect Ethan Hawke is: I never saved anything for the swim back.
So whether you look at your face or not, test your genes, you can ultimately rely on your beliefs.
May all those who pursue their dreams make their dreams come true, and
may all those who are loyal to their beliefs achieve their wishes.
Whether or not it is defective.
