Why it never ends

Chapter 371 Loops
"Before the first simulant was manufactured, human beings spent a lot of time imagining various problems that might arise. Can sims be considered human? How should the rights and interests of sims be divided? A ship of Theseus, how should the distinction between machines and humans be defined?

"Issues like this are causing controversy every day. Some people have long realized that there will be people who will vent their terrible animal desires on machines. They began to sympathize with innocent machines in advance, and began to call on society to pay attention to the rights of robots. However, no one thought of those who would What will be the consequences of the new needs created by the simulated human beings, and who will finally swallow them."

"That doesn't make sense...why didn't anyone think of it?"

"Because every man is free, Jane."

"I don't know……"

"Do you really not understand? Or are you just as arrogant as those golden age superiors?"

Hesta's face turned slightly pale, and she looked at Anna angrily, "...Please advise."

Anna smiled, stepped back half a meter in her wheelchair, and took out another thicker folder from the bookshelf.

"Let's start from the other end... You've seen the Briar Monk on the ship, what do you think of these people?"

"What do you mean?"

"Various aspects." Anna shrugged. "Have you had an in-depth chat with them on a certain topic? They are the ones who like to sell their theories to strangers the most."

Hesta frowned and thought about it—she really didn't spend much time awake during the two days on board.She had had a brief chat with the Bree man yesterday afternoon, but it was hard to say what "theory" was in it.

Instead, the sisters Agnes and Meyer...

"It seems not?"

"...No." Hesta replied.

Anna was a little surprised. She lowered her head and took out a dozen manuscripts from the folder, "Well, no matter what, you should get to know someone first."

Hesta took it with one hand and turned over the cover. On the title page of the manuscript was a middle-aged man with a serious expression. his jaw.

Hesta was sure that she had no impression of this face, but when she saw the name underneath, she was stunned.

"...Robogrillet?"

"uh-huh."

"Is this when he was young?" Hesta looked back at the photo with some uncertainty, "Why doesn't it look like... No, this is not a person."

"That's right, the two of them are not alone." Anna said softly, "The little old man on the boat's real name is Rob Greene, and he changed his name to Rob Greene when he was in his twenties. Yeah — just to pay homage to the man."

"Who is this person?"

"One of the founders of the Golden Age and the founder of the 'Boycott Monks' in history. This man is a businessman, a politician, and a social activist. When he was born, the seventh wave of thought in the feminist movement was sweeping the world , Waiting until the year he was assassinated, young women in District [-] had to take to the streets to guarantee their basic right to education.

"In short, his impact on the world is immeasurable.

"Rob Green admires him very much. His life is almost recreated in the context of Rob Griller, but it is obviously not very successful." Anna said in her usual slow tone, "It has been so many years, except for one 'Community of Eden', he didn't have another good work."

Hesta began to read it attentively. This manuscript was written in the third district, and it was not difficult for her to understand it.However, when she read about half a page, a dizzying feeling of nausea came to her heart, and she had to look away.

After a short pause, Hesta began to skip.

Soon, she saw several familiar passages. It was an underground speech made by Robeau Grillet when he was young, and its theme was exactly the same as what Sister Agnes said last night.This piqued Hesta's interest almost instantly.

She was about to go back and read carefully when another wave of dizziness hit her.

"...the words are too small." She looked up helplessly, resisting the urge to vomit, "but this paragraph...I heard someone talk about it last night...what is it about?"

Anna looked at where Hesta was pointing.

"Oh, 'escape velocity' and 'female cycle'." Anna said with a smile, "who did you hear about last night? Goebbels?"

"No." Hesta didn't say much, "I've never heard of these two words... What is 'escape velocity'?"

"These two concepts were adopted by Rob Grillet from other disciplines. Rob has already explained in his speech why our civilization is a female-oriented society wrapped in patriarchy. You do you remember?"

"I have an impression," Hesta whispered, "'male disposability'...?"

"Yes, 'male disposability' and 'female standard cycle' are the core theories of the 'boycott monks'. In Roboglier's view, the traditionalist patriarchal inferiority belongs to the 'female standardism of balance of power and responsibility'—— Men give up their own freedom and security to support the family, women give up power to get support. Both sides have gains and losses.

"However, Roborgrillet pointed out that this kind of 'feminism' with a balance of power and responsibility will inevitably slide towards 'extreme feminism', because there will always be a stage of stability and prosperity in society. In this process, women will gain more and more "free time", constantly pursue the maximization of their own interests, and at the same time use tradition to evade responsibility and establish a new gender order.

"But this order will not last, because under this gender order, the traditional family structure will quickly collapse within a few generations, and civilization will collapse with it-so there will be no mild patriarchy, and extreme patriarchy will take its place. : A war broke out in society, women's status fell again, and men killed wantonly, until the winner was contested, and society tended to be stable again.

"So far, a cycle has been completed. Robeau Grillet used a large number of historical cases to verify his theory. On this basis, he proposed that men should learn to identify their own cycle: if they find themselves at the end of the cycle, then One must be prepared for the possible social collapse in one's lifetime; if one is in the middle of the cycle, one must strive to pursue 'escape velocity' so as to get rid of the exploitation of a female-based society.

"This speech should have been given in District 27 when he was [-] years old, in response to other men's rights movements questioning his organization 'boycott monks' at the time.

"What question?"

"Extreme passive defense," Anna replied, "Robes-Griller's boycott of monks who do not marry, do not have children, do not talk to the public, do not seek understanding, and are very different from other patriarchal movements at the time-most patriarchal Movement activists seek dialogue, hope to change the existing system through public debates, publications, and even participate in political campaigns, and ultimately obtain more resources. Misunderstanding and hatred are useless... So Robeau Grillet gave this speech, in which he threw out many concepts such as "male disposability", "red pill doctrine", "female standard cycle", etc. Of course, that also includes the 'escape velocity' you see.

"This is his first public speech in front of the public. After the speech, a large number of centrists in the patriarchal movement turned to 'boycott the monks'."
