I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 700: Chapter 433: Reflection, Repentance, Decision【5100 Words, Seeking Monthly Tickets】_2

Therefore, Solution deserves a mixed assessment.

Although Solution has propelled 500 years of technological development and even ushered in the miraculous 20 years, it has also become a crucial factor in the demise of human civilization in the Solar System at the critical moment.

The people in Solution worked hard, but their direction was not correct enough, and they ended up playing an inglorious role.

They became the deadly factor that influenced the outcome of the battle.

Harrison Clark himself did not think he had the right to criticize others, because it was his own ideology that formed the absolute control.

Solution’s way of thinking originated from him; it seemed democratic but did not tolerate other voices.

For example, the Happiness Plan, which looks beautiful on the surface, appears to have completed the sublimation of the species, but it has also erased the genes that are most likely to have different consciousness.

Social stratification should be the result of countless people making their own choices naturally, and those in power should not impose such strong restrictions on territories and systems.

If the Happiness Plan had not been implemented, perhaps technological progress would have been a little slower, but when deciding whether to leave the Solar System, maybe some gene carriers left behind by the happy ones could have persuaded and led more people by example, couldn’t they?

That would create another new possibility.

Mistakes in one stage may become correct in another new stage.

This is the interesting part of civilization and history, things are dialectical and flowing without end.

To be rigid is to fail.

Sergey realized all of this in his later years.

It caused Sergey great pain.

He worshipped Harrison Clark immensely and did not even want to question him in his heart.

So Sergey just made a decision by himself, renouncing his membership in Solution before his death as a way of venting his last dissatisfaction.

But from beginning to end, he never criticized Harrison Clark once.

Sergey knew that his doubts were still only within the confines of the cocoon and ultimately refused to break the cocoon’s control himself.

Sergey believed that he had no right to criticize Harrison Clark, nor did anyone else in the history of human civilization.

Only Harrison Clark himself had the right to repent when he saw this outcome.

This was Sergey’s highest faith.

Harrison Clark sighed deeply, lamenting, “Indeed, I thought of this long ago. The result of absolute control is collapse. This was my original concept. How could I have…silently forgotten it?”

Relying on implicit strong power to forcibly control everything, including people’s ideology, seems like a shortcut to promote the progress of civilization and has almost achieved the appearance of rapid progress.

But progress is progress; civilization has become fragile in the invisible, and the social structure seems strong but is actually on the verge of danger.

When the essence of the system goes wrong, civilization loses its ability to self-correct, and the error tolerance decreases.

Ideology, these simple four words, have always been at the core of the development of human civilization.

Primitive society has its own ideology, such as the veneration of good hunters.

Feudal society has the ideology of the feudal society, such as the divine right of kings and the emperor’s grace.

Capitalist society and communist society also have their different ideologies.

It is elusive and omnipresent, affecting the choices of every individual in society from all aspects.

It is the collective consciousness of civilization and can be led by a certain portion of people but should not and cannot be absolutely controlled.

Ultimately, it should be the relatively reasonable choice made by the productive forces and human species’ collective consciousness after natural evolution.

If the leaders and great men who lead civilization forward grasp the helm of the ship, the ideology is fundamentally the river on which the ship sails.

It does not rule out the possibility that a certain portion of people or a certain system makes irrational choices and corrupts the waterway.

Such systems will be eliminated, just as the Rhine River and the Niger River have changed course multiple times in history.

The waterway may have been missed, but the mistake does not affect the water cycle in the atmosphere.

As long as there is an atmosphere on Earth and rain, snow, and frostfall occur, the Rhine River and the Niger River will flow into the sea.

The problem with Solution lies in the fact that its inheritors deified Harrison Clark in their hearts and rashly believed that he understood everything, treating everything he left behind as unshakable golden laws, eventually turning them into shackles.

These shackles are everywhere.

Using a system to control time can indeed bring about rapid progress with deceptive allure, but the disadvantages must not be ignored.

This time, the price Harrison Clark has paid is heavy, but the gains in experience and lessons are also rich.

Admit the mistake and improve in the future.

He decided to try to find a more balanced approach next time, without ignorantly attempting to forcefully control everything.

He has already come up with fairly comprehensive ideas now.

His direction will not change, focusing on science and technology as the primary productive force and key element, with art as a supplement.

However, he will use a more flexible way to hide knowledge in the mechanisms, gradually throwing it out in response to external changes, using a triggering approach.

He will let himself and Solution act as a constantly discoverable treasure trove of knowledge, without letting Solution forcefully control anyone.

Additionally, in terms of technology, some phased achievements can be taken down and put aside, with only preliminary experiment results completed, without the need for large-scale production.

Certain phased technological changes may not be worth widespread promotion.

For example, the first generation of Pioneers.

Between the years 2351 and 2367, humans sent a total of eleven first-generation Pioneers and sent out 330,000 people, which seems not bad.
