Why it never ends

Chapter 372 Another Mountain

Anna turned the file back another page. She looked at the last paragraph of the article and read softly:
"It's absurd that the men's rights movement accuses us of always causing trouble, because we're just the first step in waking up to the fact that a person's self-worth and meaning in life can only be determined by him.

"I'm well aware that most patriarchal supporters want to change the system, and a small number just want to take advantage of the system, but boycotting monks is different from you, we want to break away from all systems.

"We are eager to take back our own ownership, we are eager to be like-minded, and we are eager to see more and more people wake up. Because the status of men is at stake, individual freedom must give way to the well-being of all men."

Hesta opened his eyes: "...This passage sounds familiar."

"It's not surprising," Anna closed the folder, "Most of Rob's speeches are repeating Rob Griller's point of view, and he can't come up with anything of his own, except for Alec's myth... What do you think, after listening to this?"

"It's bluffing." Hesta murmured in a low voice, "Can I take these things home and read them carefully?"

"Books are fine, but these documents are not." Anna put the file back on the bookshelf, "But you can come here to read it at any time. If you need it, I can give you permission to enter here."

"I need it." Hesta replied immediately, "Can I bring others with me?"

"No."

"Okay..." She leaned on the armrest of the wheelchair and readjusted her sitting posture. "You said that Robeau Griller was the founder of the Golden Age. Was it also related to his creation of the 'Boycott Monks'?"

"Yes, after the first speech, men fed up with women's rights flocked to boycott the place where the monks had previously operated - because the latter offered a line of action that had never been seen before.

"Robert Grier was keenly aware that his own opportunity was coming. From the next year, he suddenly changed his strategy and began to shoot documentaries, give lectures, and set up 'boycott monks' youth associations in various places-those who are against the monks. Men who are interested in them, but are still conservative in their thinking and cannot fully approach them, can first listen to the boycott monk's 'sermon' there.

"Robes-Grillet originally wanted to win over those single young people with certain financial strength. These people tend to speak elegantly and dress fashionable. Compared with the "ruffian-style" bottom-level youths who boycotted monks before, these people are more influential. , and was able to get rid of the stereotype that "boycott monks" are all social losers, but he didn't expect that a large number of young people under the age of 17 would flock to him.

"Young people always yearn for a world away from their parents, they yearn to be away from their families, to be with their peers, and - most importantly - to find their calling, and 'Boycott Monk' fits all the boxes perfectly .

"In the YMCA, everyone is expected to be an honest, loyal, hard-working, strong individual, and everyone's efforts will be seen as a force to turn history around. Then, Robeau Griller offered everyone A grand blueprint, he wants to build a society of "justice and equal rights" - where men will no longer be the eternally exploited, they will regain the "true equality" that they have earned with blood and sweat. For this reason , he asked all his followers to maintain an 'unconditional enthusiasm' at all times.

"It just so happened that in that era, 'de-politicization' on campus was already an iron law, and society defaulted that all teaching institutions were not allowed to use classrooms for any political or religious preaching. You can imagine that when the best young people of that era stepped on When they entered the trend of "justice and equal rights", they hardly had any ideological tools that could deconstruct discourse.

"Immediately, Robeau-Griller further confirmed his two principles: First, men must take the initiative in procreation. For this reason, he invested a lot of money and energy to promote the development of artificial wombs. He is very convinced that the female-oriented cycle The reason why it is difficult to break is because women monopolize fertility, therefore, before the birth of the artificial womb, all wishes to 'break the cycle' will only be wishful thinking;
"Second, help every 'boycott monk' who meets the conditions as much as possible to create their 'year of miracles'."

"The Year of Miracles?"

"This is another term," Anna said softly. "Originally, it was used to describe the year when some scientists made significant progress. One to two years between them—making multiple breakthroughs in a row, and these breakthroughs are precisely the most important achievements in their lives.”

"Because I was creative when I was young."

"More than that," Anna said softly, "a lot of energy, curiosity, and an active brain are just enough to support the knowledge and skills you start researching...and a lot of time at your disposal. A person is most likely to When all the conditions are met at the same time, and only when young, people are most likely to leave all the trivialities of life behind and explore freely."

Suddenly, the figure of Turan broke into Hesta's mind. She remembered that the fund project that Turan applied for last year was to help some outstanding young scholars start their research.

"The year of miracles..." Hesta's eyes drooped slightly, and his expression softened, "The 'Ava Morgan Awards' every year are trying to do the same thing..."

Anna smiled, "Most of the cases are true, but last year's medical award is really not flattering."

"I've heard that there is a lot of controversy. I guess Ava may have put the right to life ahead of all other factors..." Hesta whispered, and she looked at Anna again, "And then? Robberg Riye succeeded?"

"How should I put it... You must know that on the eve of the golden age, the primary factor that hinders the emergence of artificial wombs is not technology, but ethics. Robeau Grillet is very good at this, and he has come up with a set of 'non- Current ethical norms apply', and his team lives and works in this gray area until they accomplish their common goals."

After listening to such a long narrative, Hesta felt genuinely tired, but at the same time, her mind seemed more active than ever.

"I see..." she whispered.

Anna didn't ask, but just asked Hesta if she wanted some tea. Hesta shook her head and refused. She sat quietly in the wheelchair with an indifferent expression.

After a long time, she suddenly said to herself: "It's actually another Cossack wasteland...isn't it?"

"what?"

"...Golden Age," Hesta said softly, "another piece of "The Mountains Under the Storm."
