Chapter 35 crazy machine

I have a very good friend who lives in France.They took great care of us when we went to France.Every time we go on vacation, he rents our car, picks us up in the car, cooks eggs for us every morning, picks up all the trash, and tidies up the cupboards.He is also very polite to the people around him. At first glance, he is impeccable. He is a Ph.D. and his family background is very good.But such a perfect person just can't drive, as long as he drives, he starts cursing.Every time he gets in the car, his wife talks about him, so don't say a few words.And every time he rents a car, he has to rent a faster car, drive the car very fast, and when he rushes into someone else's car, he scolds others for driving slowly, swears, and is extremely rude.In short, he was a rough and curmudgeon when he got in the car, but a very nice guy when he got out.

I went back to think about this matter, how did the car make people like this?I think that a person may be in a normal state of being used to it in a natural situation, he feels peaceful, but when he gets on the car, the speed is faster, the brain is not in harmony with the speed, the mind is more chaotic, and the language is chaotic. It was a mess, and when I got off the car, it was the usual movements and strength, so it returned to normal.So I think it is easier for humans to control the body with the brain, but it is more difficult to control the body while controlling the machine. Human beings are best at inventing tools, and cars are one of them.Usually we gain power and convenience by making and controlling machines, but now it seems that tools control my friend instead.If you think about it carefully, there are not a few people like my friend who are controlled by tools.Those with mobile phones became addicted to texting, and even disturbed other people's rest.One day at two o'clock in the middle of the night, I received a text message from an acquaintance, which said: Wrong posture, wake up and go back to sleep.Facing the computer and surfing the Internet, regardless of day or night, they use a pseudonym to spread rumors and abuse on the Internet.Thinking about it carefully, the situation of these friends is not controlled by tools, but by using the convenience of tools to exaggerate and deform their evil side to the extreme.

Sitting alone in a car, holding a mobile phone, and facing a computer, he is actually lonely, and there is only the so-called self at that time.The ego controls a tool, he feels powerful.He experienced this kind of power frequently, and it was extremely enjoyable.When he feels that the experience alone is not enough, he will show this experience to others.Some drivers deliberately rushed into the stagnant water, let the stagnant water splash up and splashed on the faces of people on the side of the road, he felt very happy.This is an immoral pleasure, and in the final analysis it is the devil of the ego.What if he had a nuclear warhead in his hand at this time?This is incredible.

In fact, animals can use tools. For example, monkeys know how to crack walnuts with stones, but humans use tools to the extreme.If you are too lazy to walk, you will take a car; if you want to go far, you will take an airplane; if you want to do complex calculations, you will use a computer.These tools make ordinary people more and more dependent on the tools, and on the people who invent them.Once those talented toolmakers have a bad heart, he can rule us.There are some sci-fi films in foreign countries, which talk about some scientific villains who are extremely talented and use science and technology to rule dictatorships.This is a long way to go. In reality, because science has brought a lot of tools that people need, the status of science has thus risen to an absolute high position. Now people worship science and people worship Jehovah in the past. Take science as the standard.

The progress brought about by science is mainly material progress, but spiritual progress lags behind, which is dangerous.My friend in France couldn't control the car because the power of the machine was far greater than his mental power.As the source of our mental power, the brain can control the limbs, but it is not enough to control the limbs at the same time and then control the car.So the brain will give him an annoyed signal, indicating danger.Whenever we feel irritable, it's our brain's red light. Scientists have discovered that our brains cannot control the complex tools we have now, so they want to invent artificial brains to help us control these tools.They want tools to control tools, and when they realize this wish, the world will have nothing to do with us humans.Think about it, a super computer controls a lot of robots, they take care of themselves and finish everything, what do we humans do?I think I still need to snatch some things from the tools and do things myself, such as reading, and I can't let the tools deprive me of this fun.
