"Social Darwinism."

This was the first thought that popped into Xia Xiu's mind after reading the reward information.

The few lines of text on the 70th floor reward made him keenly aware of the terrible consequences this anomaly would have if it spread on a large scale in the modern world.

Social Darwinism is an idea that applies the principles of "survival of the fittest" and "natural selection" to human society and the economy.

This idea maintains that competition in social, political and economic environments produces the strongest, that is, those individuals or groups that are best able to adapt to the environment will survive and thrive, while the weaker ones will be eliminated.

They analogize the development of human society to biological evolution in nature, emphasizing that competition, efficiency and ability are the driving forces of social progress.

It advocates reducing government intervention in the economy and society, such as reducing welfare support for the poor, on the grounds that such support will hinder natural competition in the process of social evolution.

This doctrine has been widely criticized, mainly because it attempts to mechanically apply the concept of biological evolution to complex human society, ignoring the ethical, moral and cultural factors of human society.

The theory of evolution advocated by Xia Xiu on the 70th floor now gave him a strong sense of socialism.

In a society that prides itself on evolution, individuals will face tremendous social pressure and must continue to evolve in order to remain competitive.

However, it would be a bit too extreme to classify the 70th floor as a Sheda maker simply because of the evolution mechanism.

He always feels that what the 70th floor and the Awakening in the Inner Temple are experimenting with are not pursuing such a simple and crude social structure. The other party wrote in the message that the way to solve the real problems of "one-dimensional society" is definitely not socialism.

After completing the task, a prompt window pops up on the screen to ask whether to claim the reward.

Xia Xiu just glanced at it, then reached out his hand and quickly closed the reward pop-up window.

His eyes turned to the front of the laboratory. A red transmission button appeared on the wall not far away, emitting a faint light.

The red button is embedded in the center of the silver-gray metal wall, which stands out from the surrounding environment.

The light of the button was particularly obvious in the empty laboratory, as if it was a light guiding him forward.

"From William Ned to Cameron Brady Turner, whom I have yet to meet, they are all pursuing one thing. They are all seeking ownership of all resources, distribution methods, and economics in a world of extraordinary quantification.

planning and the right to define individual and collective roles.”

“Ion’s method of stripping and the three cardinal principles of ethics were originally intended to be a type of utopianism in a world of extraordinary quantification, and they were the earliest form of utopianism that materialized utopias.”

“The pursuit of this core idea is that they all advocate the implementation of extraordinary public ownership and the allocation of resources according to needs, but each has its own opinions.

Some Sarkic sects understand public ownership as the public possession of extraordinary means of production and consumer goods. Most of these sects remain closed and isolated; some sects understand it as the public possession of extraordinary things other than daily necessities, that is, the ownership of genealogical resources.

Public possession, including the factors of production in this world, as well as the extraordinary factors of the powerful...

But no matter which sect it is, the coordination inevitably follows a consensus - to organize production in a planned way and completely eradicate anarchy."

"History is a circle. It goes round and round, but it still cannot avoid this problem - planning."

"Designing babies is a plan, and regulating genes is also a plan."

The fourth sword bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven walked to the red button.

The flashing light of the button illuminated his face, and his golden eyes were filled with an unpredictable luster.

“In order to realize utopianism, should powerful men have total control over all resources through centralized planning in a world of extraordinary quantification?”

“Even if the initial motivation for planning is for the public good, to improve social efficiency or achieve social justice; utopias are really made possible by this kind of centralized planning, this kind of extension of control into every aspect of society and individual life, this kind of erosion of free will.

Centralized planning to achieve it?”

"The inner sanctum awakens. Is it utopia or slavery that you are pursuing?"

Can human life be defined in the name of utopia?

Even the angels have to admit one reality: the kingdom of heaven only prudently reforms Terran society through its own strict hierarchical system and imposes a mandatory "spiritual power/belief" on all angels.

[You are preparing to teleport to the next random floor——]

[Floor matching——]

【Floor matching completed!】

[Now start teleporting to: 27th floor!]

Xia Xiu stretched out his hand and gently touched the surface of the button with his fingers.

As the button was triggered, a faint mechanical sound sounded in his ears. He felt a warm energy quickly surround his whole body, as if he was gently wrapped in a soft light.

Immediately, his vision was flooded by a dazzling beam of light, and the transmitted energy formed a bright vortex around him, pulling his entire body into it.

His body gradually lost weight, as if floating in the void. The surrounding scene became blurred, and only the beam of light always penetrated his field of vision.

He closed his eyes and allowed this power to lead him through time and space.

*******

Floor 27.

When the intensity of the light beam began to weaken, Xia Xiu felt that he was slowly landing in a new location.

When he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him was completely new. He found himself in a room full of art. The first thing that caught his eye was the warm natural light pouring in through the large skylight, bringing softness and warmth to the entire space.

feeling.

The skylights are surrounded by vines and flowers, adding a bit of natural flavor, as if the place is integrated with the natural environment outside.

In the corner of the room, there are several unfinished paintings, with various colors flowing on the canvas, showing the artist's spiritual world.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There are several bottles of paint and brushes placed next to the easel.

Xia Xiu's eyes were quickly attracted by a painting on the wall.

This painting is full of passion and power. In the picture, people hold weapons and charge into battle, symbolizing the spirit of resistance and revolution.

The female figure in the center holds up the French flag, symbolizing freedom. She wears a Phrygian hat and is topless, symbolizing the freedom and power of the revolution.

Her eyes are firm and hopeful, guiding people to victory.

The characters in the picture are all full of vitality and have different expressions, some are angry, some are determined, and some are full of hope.

"Liberty Leads the People."

One of France's most famous paintings.

While Xia Xiu was looking at the painting, the virtual pop-up window appeared again.

[An oil painting with the theme of "self" needs to be completed within the specified time. The requirement of this task is not to fully demonstrate the painting skills, but to reflect creativity and personal style. 】

[Evaluation criteria: After the task is completed, the painting will be evaluated based on its skill, creativity and emotional expression. 】

After Xia Xiu finished reading the task requirements, he frowned slightly and thought in his mind.

"Sure enough, this is indeed a talent tower."

He raised his head and looked at "Liberty Leading the People" again, drawing inspiration from the painting.

Then, he slowly walked to the workbench, ready to start his creation.

He first took out the canvas and fixed it on the easel, then selected suitable paints and brushes, and began to roam the canvas with the brush in his hand.

Time passes quietly.

A slightly abstract painting took shape under Xia Xiu's brush.

In a dark desert, a fascinating portrait appeared before our eyes.

In the painting, a huge camel is walking slowly on the sand dunes, carrying a heavy baggage. There are more baggage waiting for the camel in front.

At the other end of the painting, another camel knelt down to pack them up, trying to carry as much weight as possible.

Its eyes showed a look of patience and obedience, silently bearing a heavy fate.

It's craving more weight.

Opposite the camel, a huge dragon is entrenched at the other end of the desert. Its body is covered with thousands of golden scales, staring ahead, guarding the laws and orders governed by it.

Between the two, the desert stretches out, the sky is gloomy, and a tense atmosphere about to explode fills the air.

The strong contrast and color clearly express the tension between the camel's obedience and the dragon's oppression.

Xia Xiu stopped painting and looked at his work.

At this time, the familiar green pop-up window appeared in his field of vision again.

【You have finished the painting!】

【Start rating——】

【Your rating is: Perfect!】

Just as the beep sounded, the painting Xia Xiu had just finished disappeared. The next moment, the painting appeared on the floor next to "Liberty Leading the People".

Under it, a new line of words appeared - "Dragon and Camel".

Xia Xiu's paintings are in sharp contrast to "Liberty Leading the People", but they seem to complement each other.

Just when Xia Xiu's eyes stayed on this painting, the red button representing teleportation appeared in front of him again.

The button is located in the center of the room, and its bright red color is particularly eye-catching under the soft light.

Xia Xiu thought silently in his heart: "Although the high-level authorities, mainly the elements, are blocked, the passivity of [the out-of-control world] is still within the scope of my control."

He looked into the void from the corner of his eyes, and his pupils were looking at something that the world could not see or touch - disaster (loss of control index).
