108. The Last Hanging

108. The Last Hanging

MaruTBP was a fantasy writer in the pre-society period of the 21st century.

He was also the last criminal to be publicly sentenced to death in human history.

After MaruTBP death, his mummy was hung on the gallows.

..

MaruTBP was from Myanmar.

He was a fantasy writer with only a junior high school education level.

He used junior high school physics thinking to write about modern science and modern physics.

MaruTBP fabricated a lot of pseudo-science in his fantasy novels.

In order to deceive people, he claimed his fantasy novels as science fiction novels.

..

At that time, Myanmar was one of the most backward countries on the Gaia.

The probability of the public receiving higher education was less than 4%.

96% of the public didn't have the ability to distinguish between science and pseudo-science.

..

MaruTBP's pseudo-science was regarded by his readers as the "Maru's Scientific Bible".

His reader group was large and influential, and finally formed the "Maru Sect".

The followers of the Maru Sect attacked scientists from other countries everywhere on the international network.

They attacked the research and theories of scientists, claiming that they didn't conform to the "Maru's Scientific Bible".

..

The followers of the Maru Sect aroused the public indignation of the scientific community and also caused concerns in the science fiction community.

The phenomenon of the Maru Sect finally prompted the International Science Fiction Guild to issue the "International Science Fiction Convention".

..

In order to avoid scientific errors in science fiction novels misleading readers and the public's perception.

The "International Science Fiction Convention" required the living international science fiction writers:

"All science fiction novels of different categories must be accompanied by detailed scientific annotations at the end of the novels.

Explain the theoretical, technological sources and deduction processes of the scientific settings in the science fiction novels...

If there are scientific setting errors in science fiction works.

Science fiction writers need to clearly explain the sources of the errors and make a public apology.

Otherwise, their works will be labeled as fantasy category.

And their works will be prohibited from being labeled as science fiction category."

..

The International Science Fiction Guild set the final deadline: July 7th, 2070.

Let all the living science fiction writers list annotations for their science fiction works.

Those with scientific setting errors should publicly explain the errors and apologize to readers before the deadline.

Otherwise, their works will be changed from the science fiction category to the fantasy category.

..

More than 96% of the scientific settings in MaruTBP's science fiction novels were wrong.

He first mobilized the followers of the Maru Sect and demanded that Myanmar withdraw from the International Science Fiction Guild.

If Myanmar withdrew from the International Science Fiction Guild.

MaruTBP would not be bound by the "International Science Fiction Convention".

In this way, he wouldn't have to list annotations, mark errors and make a public apology.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

His works wouldn't have to be changed from the science fiction category to the fantasy category.

..

Of course, MaruTBP's unreasonable demands surely came to nothing.

In order to avoid listing errors and making an apology.

And to maintain the huge economic benefits contributed by the followers of the Maru Sect.

On July 6th, 2070, the day before the deadline of the International Science Fiction Guild.

MaruTBP drank chemical drugs with the formula of ancient Egyptian mummies and committed suicide.

..

After MaruTBP suicide, his corpse was made into a mummy by his descendants.

And it was put into an exquisite high-tech crystal coffin.

It was displayed in the MaruTBP Science Fiction Novel Memorial Hall in Myanmar.

For the vast number of followers of the Maru Sect to commemorate and pay their respects.

..

After MaruTBP death.

Some extreme followers of the Maru Sect.

Constantly assassinated the executives of the International Science Fiction Guild.

After successfully killing several executives of the International Science Fiction Guild.

The followers of the Maru Sect were still not satisfied.

In order to take revenge on the Myanmar Science Fiction Guild for not withdrawing from the International Science Fiction Guild.

Some extreme followers of the Maru Sect gathered together, carrying weapons.

They rushed into the Myanmar Science Fiction Guild, killing people and setting fires.

Finally, they killed more than a dozen staff members of the Myanmar Science Fiction Guild.

And injured dozens of staff members.

..

The killing incident by the followers of the Maru Sect shocked the international community.

Finally, the Maru Sect was ruled as a cult organization by Myanmar.

All the followers of the Maru Sect who participated in the killings and assassinations were arrested.

MaruTBP, as the spiritual leader of the cult, was publicly sentenced to death.

MaruTBP's mummy was dug out from the crystal coffin.

And was publicly hung on the gallows.

..

Myanmar was the last country on the Gaia that retained the public sentencing of death.

After MaruTBP was publicly sentenced to death, Myanmar officially abolished the public sentencing of death.

So, as the last criminal to be publicly sentenced to death in human history.

The process of MaruTBP's mummy being hung on the gallows was broadcast live globally.

..

After MaruTBP death, all of his novels were removed from the science fiction category.

All of his novels were classified as fantasy novels.

..

During the 50-year period of the Black Starry Sky.

Human laws increased from 100 million words to several billion words.

These several billion words of human laws.

Were named "Intellectual Prison" by historical psychologists.

..

In the year 2100.

The Gaia Federation settled the sins and punishments during the Black Starry Sky period after 2050.

Permanent punishments were imposed on the descendants of all the legislators of the "Intellectual Prison".

This is the origin of the permanent taxation.

MaruTBP had participated in revising and maintaining human laws that were in his vital interests many times during his lifetime.

So, the descendants of MaruTBP were also permanently taxed.

..

The Utopia robots explained from a God's perspective: Contracts are only valid for the signatories.

The effective scope of human laws: It is limited to the humans who have signed the laws and their descendants.

The only ones on the entire Gaia that are bound by human laws.

Are the descendants of the legislators who signed human laws after 2050.

The descendants of the legislators are permanently bound by the human laws signed by their ancestors.

And it can never be revoked.

Historical psychologists named it the "Self-Imposed Bondage Contract".

..

All the legal constraints on the descendants of the legislators were converted into taxes.

So, the descendants of the legislators are the only humans on the Gaia who need to pay taxes.

Moreover, they need to pay taxes permanently and it cannot be revoked.

The descendants of the legislators were also refused to enter Utopia.

They could only stay in the Post-Society.

They formed the ideal state of the "Scapegoator Territory".
