Chapter 123: Actually, human beings only have one way to live forever!
According to the concept of today’s world, 80 years old is old.
Liu Yun couldn’t help sighing: “If you can live to be 200 years old, you will still be a young man at the age of 80!” ”
Jiang Fan smiled: “Actually, longevity is not an unimaginable thing, with the development of science and technology, the upper limit of human lifespan is rapidly increasing.” ”
“According to the ancient saying of the Chinese Kingdom, life is rare for seventy ancient times.”
“Now what?”
“Eighty-year-olds are everywhere, ninety is not new, and living to be over 100 years old can only be mentioned slightly by local news.”
“You must know that the elderly who live to be over 100 years old before passing away, in fact, most of their lives were spent in the past when the scientific and technological conditions were not developed, and when they were young, their physical condition was far less good than that of modern young people.”
“Therefore, when this group of young people grow old, a hundred years old is probably not news, just a normal number.”
“If nothing else, about one in a thousand generations of post-nineties can see the Spring Festival Gala in 2100.”
“If the [Eternal Life Project] is successful, the two of us can even see the Spring Festival Gala in 2200 together.” Hahaha! ”
Listening to Jiang Fan’s specific description, Liu Yun couldn’t help but open her mouth wide. Can I see the Spring Festival Gala in 2200?
It’s also too…
If someone else said that she would increase human life expectancy to 200 years, it is estimated that she was just delusional and laughed it off. But if it was Jiang Fan, she would have to consider this matter as a very likely future. Jiang Fan looked at the sky and said, “Actually, the rapid growth of population life expectancy is not all good for society. ”
“The foundation of modern society is based on the upper limit of human lifespan.”
“As the upper limit of life expectancy becomes longer, countless social problems and even theoretical and moral problems will arise.”
“It’s easy to think of a population explosion, for example.”
“For example, the political system has also been greatly affected.”
“In general, politicians only begin to mature around the age of 35, and 4060 is their golden age.”
“So, most leadership positions rotate for about 5 years, and leadership positions are usually about 10 years. The reason lies in the life span, not that they are incapable, but that people are old, their life expectancy is at the end, their energy is declining, and their hearts are not enough
“
“Now what?.”
“Is it good to be 80 years old or young and middle-aged?”
“If you are a civil servant, enter a unit, work hard for 15 years, climb to the deputy department level at the age of 40, it will be difficult to promote another level, you must wait until there is a vacancy in the department level post.”
“According to the past, waiting for 510 years can always wait for a lot of opportunities, because the directors of the unit are not small, and sooner or later they will retire.”
“Now what?”
“The commissioners have said that they are still young, and they can be in another 100 years!”
“How else do you climb?”
“What would you think?”
“It’s not hard to imagine what a bad thing can happen when a country’s path to promotion is blocked, and history has shown us countless times.”
“Of course, there are also benefits, such as the aging problem will be solved, and the demographic dividend can be eaten for another 100 years!”
“So a 10% annual GDP growth is just around the corner!”
“However, the aging neon country will also be desperate, which is a trivial flaw.”
Liu Yun felt a pain in her brain after thinking about it. Jiang Fan suddenly said squarely: It’s too complicated!
“You know what? In fact, the upper limit of human lifespan is closely related to whether the human race can continue. In fact, human beings have only one way to go through eternal life. ”
Liu Yun was stunned for a moment: “What do you mean?” ”
Jiang Fan explained: “Evolution can improve the probability of the continuation of the population as a whole, while modern medicine is to improve the quality of life of a single individual in the population, but this improvement is at the cost of reducing the ability of the population to continue!” ”
“In nature, antelopes that don’t run fast enough are eaten, and those born without legs starve to death, and their genes are difficult to pass on.”
“The death of each individual with genetic defects is to improve the ability of the entire population to continue, to avoid disability, physical weakness, susceptibility to serious disease and other inferior genes “contaminating” more of the same kind.” ”
“But humans are not like that.”
“As the rulers of the earth, we have the ability to take good care of all kinds of vulnerable individuals with congenital deficiencies, and even let them marry and have children to leave their own heirs.”
“Although this is the unquestionable brilliance of great humanity, but… In the brutal competition of nature, humans have been evolutionarily stagnant. ”
“The so-called evolution is to eliminate weak genes that are not suitable for survival, leaving more competitive gene strong.”
“Human beings, on the other hand, are doing their best to leave all the individuals behind.”
“Over time, the overall genes of the human population will slowly decline Jiang Fan’s talk seems to be stimulated, and he speaks very quickly:.”
“At the same time, the development of human science and technology is also greatly limited by the upper limit of lifespan.”
“In Newton’s day, a genius could be proficient in multiple fields and be at the top of the world in many ways.”
“That’s not the case now, besides me, which top scientist can you see that can cross borders?”
“After cross-border research, can you still produce results?”
“The reason is very simple, there are too many branches of science and technology now, which are far beyond the learning ability of a normal person.”
“A gifted student takes more than 23 years from elementary school to doctoral graduation, and he is over 28 years old after completing his doctorate.”
“Even after studying for so long, he has not reached the forefront of his field, and if he wants to make breakthrough results, he still needs to work in a research institute for at least 5 years before he can tighten an insignificant screw in the science building.”
“The golden age of a scientific researcher is no more than 50 years old, that is, he has about 18 years left, well, only enough to turn 4 screws.”
“If you think about it, what a horrible thing this is!”
“A scientist spends less time producing scientific research results than he spends studying!”
“It wasn’t like that 100 years ago!”
“If science and technology continue to develop and basic knowledge continues to increase, one day, the pre-learning time of scientists will exceed 30, 40, or even 50 years!”
“In that case, the world’s scientific research will inevitably gradually come to a standstill!”
“Even if there are one or two unearthly geniuses, it is useless, scientific research is an industry that relies on the number of people after all.”
“Unless technological developments push up the upper limit of human lifespan, such as an increase of 20 years, then researchers have gained an additional 10 years of golden time.”
“But the development of science and technology continues to develop, and one day, more basic knowledge will be created, [eating] these 10 years.”
“In other words, this is a building block game between human lifespan and human technology.”
“Technology has increased human lifespan through treatment and protection, but the side effect is that technology protects a large number of weak genes and continues to pollute the entire human population, and this layer is pumped out of holes everywhere, and this game will become more and more dangerous with increasing height.”
“As long as the increase in lifespan is slower than the growth rate of scientists’ learning time, human beings will have the dilemma that future generations of scientists will not be able to finish learning the achievements of their predecessors until they die.”
“Once this situation occurs, then the technology developed in countless peaks will be shelved like a book in the sky, and there will be no advance in technology.”
“You know, all kinds of disease viruses are constantly evolving.”
“We use science and technology to invent drugs to fight viruses and save lives, and at the same time accelerate the evolution of viruses in disguise.”
“Once one day, the learning time reaches the limit of life, technology will completely stagnate, but the virus will not stop the pace of evolution, and human civilization will suffer a heavy blow!”
“Even if some survivors of resistance genes survive, it is useless, technology will only die faster after the collapse of civilization, even if future generations can rebuild civilization again, as long as the problem of eternal life is not solved one day, they will eventually face the limit of life, and they will eventually collapse again.”
“Eventually, humanity will run out of resources and energy and completely perish on the earth.”
