MTL - Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!-Chapter 194 paradox
As said before.
Human beings - or the "creatures" that already have a certain social form in this world already have some characteristics that are separated from nature.
They are "defying" all kinds of natural arrangements, and instead go after more things.
Emotions, morals, order, rules, technology...
Or: money, strength, force, desire...
and - unknown.
All kinds of things are proving that nature is being tried to "violate".
Therefore, when something in nature threatens the existence of these "creatures", those "creatures" will rise up to resist in order to pursue the survival and development of the entire social group.
Fear of the night, someone controls the "firelight";
Fearing the flames, someone brought water to put out the fire;
Afraid of the flood, some people moved the soil and changed the road to clear the waterway...
and so on.
...
"We've always been that way, and we've always been that way."
Rowan looked at Gage and smiled slowly: "When something in 'nature' threatens us, at least we won't let it go, but try to 'face' it."
Today's Gage is not talking with Rowan as the commander of Germa 66, but sitting in front of Rowan as a scientist.
Therefore, his words and deeds seemed to relax a lot, which was different from usual.
And this is also the state he must be in when he is thinking about those information.
Gage touched his chin and grinned:
"If I were a naturalist, I would have thought that what you just said was arrogant."
...
arrogant?
Of course.
Anyone who's been in school for a while will find what Rowan just said arrogant.
How can human beings go against nature?
If you recklessly cause damage to nature, you will inevitably be attacked by nature - this is an iron rule that even children will be taught.
Do not wantonly destroy the environment, do not act recklessly on the world we live in...
We've been told this since childhood.
Why does it all seem possible to Ryan Rowan?
...
"Ego and arrogance...?"
Rowan murmured, raised his eyes and asked, "Really? Do you really think so?"
"Of course I—no."
Gage's words changed and he grinned: "As long as it's good for us, what if it goes against nature?"
As Gage said, scientists are like that.
Whether it is Germa 66's human cloning technology, or Vega Punk's future pacifist plan, or even the virus research of [Pandemic] Quinn, all of them are a kind of "disobedience" to nature!
Among them, the lineage factor theory has spanned the entire era, and is known as a scientific research achievement that violates the "realm of the gods"!
And far more than that, the so-called disobedience to nature is far more than these top scientists in the world.
In order to eat a bite of watermelon in the cold Winter Island, the melon farmers of Winter Island invented a greenhouse that can keep warm;
In order to explore the mysterious realm of the spread of unknown diseases, doctors and scholars have developed drugs and vaccines to protect the human body;
In order to inherit the unknown history, people who once lived in ancient times created several "cubes" and engraved ancient characters on them, so that thousands of years of time could not erode that history;
and so on...
All of these are proofs of human beings against nature!
As one of the representatives of Yuan and "going against nature" who put forward the theory of the bloodline factor, Jiazhi certainly thought so too.
In Gage's view, the so-called natural rules are just a link that can be used and must be taken care of at the scientific research level.
To achieve breakthroughs in scientific research, it is impossible not to "break" something.
Ethics, morals, rules, frameworks...
Anything that can be broken can be broken.
On the other hand, Rowan shook his head with a smile.
"I don't think so."
"Um?"
Jiazhi was a little surprised and asked: "Emperor eight hundred years ago, what did you think?"
Rowan smiled and said:
"Do you think that is the so-called conceit and arrogance?"
He paused, then asked himself:
"Yes, that is conceit and arrogance, but so what?"
"Are there only humans, or humanoid races, doing things that go against nature?"
"The beasts of the jungle will migrate for survival and fight for the survival of the race;"
"Plants can be seen all over the world, even on the coldest snow-capped mountains, occasionally a few special grasses can be seen, and even in the cracks of hard stones, twisted trees that divide the stone in two may be seen; "
"It's not just humans who 'disobey nature', and it's not just humanoid races."
"Defying nature, not yielding to fate - it's an instinct."
Rowan's voice echoed on the deck of Germa Kingdom, calm and composed.
"That's a life instinct."
...
This remark was indeed an angle that Gage had never imagined.
What Jiazhi thought was actually more about the level of science.
The essence of a scientist is to break the natural rules and rewrite the future.
And what Rowan said revolves around "people" - or "life" itself living in this world.
That is actually a very imaginative idea.
"Life is arrogant."
Rowan drank the tea in front of him, letting the water flow in it to solidify the grit that constituted the messenger.
If Gage thought about it now, he could really chop off the head of the messenger with one shot.
But obviously, the current Gage will not do that.
Rowan "swallowed" the sip of tea and smiled slowly:
"Pride, let life appear in this world."
"We are born this way!"
...
Gaji drank the tea in his hand silently.
"Is it born like this...?"
He does have a different point of view.
"Do you have to challenge nature itself just because you were born that way? You have to chop down that tree?"
Gage suddenly leaned down and began to fiddle with the branches of the tree on the sand table with his fingers.
He does not have the ability to control the sand fruit, so he can only play with the sand table by himself.
Gage suggested another possibility.
Or... a kind of "paradox".
"What if what you call 'arrogance' is actually part of nature?"
Gage fiddled with the gravel children, made them gather together, and slaughtered the tree in a mighty manner.
As Rowan proposed before, the group of gravel people will also chop down trees!
But suddenly, the branches of that tree swept across, cutting off countless gravel little people!
And those little gravel people who were killed were turned into nutrients again, absorbed by the big tree~www.novelbuddy.com~ and transformed into new devil fruits.
"Assume your reasoning is correct."
"So, how do you ensure that your 'cutting trees' is not part of this natural cycle?"
"Have you ever thought that you have a 'never impossible' outcome?"
Facing Gage's question, Rowan grinned.
"Actually, there's only one reason why they didn't succeed—"
Rowan's next sentence made Gage learn what "the arrogance of life" means.
"They're not strong enough."
