139. Civil War Descended

YiiXi asked again:

"Is the outbreak of the civil war on the Gaia inevitable as well?"

..

Mantis Princess said:

"Of course it is inevitable too.

After Utopia was established, the one that suffered the greatest loss of interests was the Glorious Shrine.

According to the results of long-term research by historical psychologists:

The earliest members of the Glorious Shrine were the advanced evolvers of the slave-owning class five thousand years ago.

They evolved extremely high intelligence.

Their level of intelligence was thousands of years ahead of that of other humans.

The Glorious Shrine established the basic civilization, including: universal values, commercial civilization, contract systems...

During the pre-society period in the 21st century, the universal values, commercial civilization, and contract systems that were in global use were all designed by the Glorious Shrine in the slave society period.

They had been used for thousands of years without much change.

And this set of universal values, commercial civilization, and contract systems was used by the Glorious Shrine to harvest the 'slaves' permanently."

..

Mantis Princess said:

"Let me ask you, what is the first civilization of humans?"

YiiXi said:

"Of course it's commercial civilization.

All sciences, philosophies, religions... that go against commercial civilization will eventually disappear."

..

Mantis Princess said:

"Let me ask you again, what is the core of commercial civilization?"

YiiXi said:

"Of course it's the contract system.

The cores of universal values and basic civilization are all the contract system."

..

Mantis Princess said:

"The cleverness of the Glorious Shrine lies in adding a third-party adjudication to the contract system.

The third-party adjudication can decide which contracts are valid and which ones are invalid.

The Glorious Shrine used the third-party adjudication to choose contracts that were beneficial to the descendants of slave owners.

For contracts that damaged the interests of the descendants of slave owners, the Glorious Shrine used the third-party adjudication to invalidate them.

For example, private property is sacred and inviolable.

Private property is the foundation of universal values and commercial civilization."

..

YiiXi said:

"Private property is sacred and inviolable.

Isn't that right? It's indeed a universal value."

Mantis Princess said:

"Right your ass! You're just a greedy guy.

The Mars colony is the ultimate result of the evolution of private property.

All countries in the Mars colony are privatized.

They are privately owned by different capital families and consortia.

The core of private property is the inheritance of property.

So, all countries in the Mars colony are inherited by capital families."

..

YiiXi said:

"Well, I understand now with your explanation.

The land on the Gaia should belong to all humans on the Gaia in common.

It shouldn't belong to only a very small number of humans on the Gaia privately."

Mantis Princess said:

"This is the real universal value that suits all humans.

The universal values designed by the Glorious Shrine are rather narrow.

They are universal values used to safeguard the interests of the descendants of slave owners.

The Glorious Shrine only represents the descendants of slave owners.

They don't represent all humans."

..

Mantis Princess said:

"The Glorious Shrine is very ingenious and clever.

It used the third-party adjudication to ignore and invalidate the most sacred property of humans.

It also used the third-party adjudication to lock the core of property onto land and currency."

YiiXi said:

"Do you mean that the most sacred property of humans is humanity, not land and currency?"

..

Mantis Princess said:

"Of course.

The Glorious Shrine developed three major disciplines:

religion, philosophy, and science.

These three major disciplines were all used by the Glorious Shrine to cover up humanity and make humans ignore humanity."

..

YiiXi said:

"That makes sense to some extent.

More than a hundred years ago, the reason why the Gaia completely collapsed was because of what historical psychologists named as:

The Second Renaissance of Humans.

In the last century, after comparative analysis, historical psychologists generally believed that:

Science had become a new religion.

Technology had become a tool for plundering humanity.

The last century was also named by historical psychologists as:

The Second Middle Ages of Humans."

..

The First Renaissance Movement of Humans:

Abandon divinity and return to humanity.

And use humanity and science to measure divinity.

Use humanity as the benchmark for measuring all things.

Historical psychologists believed that:

The fuse of the Second Renaissance of Humans was the "Anti-Slave Owner Consciousness Act".

In the last century, the First Federal Empire of the Blue American Continent, the United States, introduced the "Anti-Slave Owner Consciousness Act".

The first three clauses of this act triggered intense controversies and backlashes.

..

The First Clause of the Anti-Slave Owner Consciousness Act:

"Regarding remarks about the conspiracies of the descendants of slave owners, public release is prohibited, and private conversations are also prohibited.

A comprehensive ban is imposed on remarks involving the control of human resources by the descendants of slave owners, including: control of land, information, currency, capital, contracts..."

..

The Second Clause of the Anti-Slave Owner Consciousness Act:

"For scientists and philosophers, any mention of their origins from the slave-owning class is prohibited.

Including: Thales, Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle...

All the following descriptive words shall be deleted from all human historical documents:

Contents related to the origins of scientists and philosophers from the slave-owning class."

..

The Third Clause of the Anti-Slave Owner Consciousness Act:

"In literary works, films, games, and other artistic works,

Describing the slave-owning class or the descendants of slave owners in a negative image is prohibited.

All the following descriptive words shall be deleted from all human historical documents:

Contents that negatively describe the slave-owning class or the descendants of slave owners."

..

Mantis Princess said:

"Let me ask you again, what is the foundation of human society?"

YiiXi said:

"The complex relationships among people.

Human relationships have developed into the social structure of human society.

Because the relationships among animals are simple, they can't develop an animal society."

..

Mantis Princess said:

"What is humanity?

Historical psychologists believe that:

The social relationships that form the foundation of human society are humanity.

Humanity can be decomposed into physical spatial relationships and information spatial relationships.

The Glorious Shrine monopolizes the physical space of humans and also monopolizes the information space to influence human society.

The Glorious Shrine mainly monopolizes land and information, as well as the accessories related to land and information.

So, in the pre-society period, there were some anti-human phenomena, such as:

Some humans had to work hard for decades just for living space."

..

YiiXi said:

"Do you mean that the Glorious Shrine designed the basic civilization and universal values with ulterior motives?

It was to cover up the most fundamental humanity of human society.

To make humans work hard all their lives just for living space.

Humans like this are really somewhat like slaves."

..

Mantis Princess said:

"From the God's-eye view of us robots:

Living space should be the innate and natural right of humans.

Living space shouldn't be exchanged by working hard all one's life.

The living space of humans is just like the storage space of robots.

Without storage space, robots don't exist.

Without living space, humans are not humans but animals.

Humans should be born as humans, not born as animals.

The Glorious Shrine designed humans to be born as animals.

Animals need to work hard all their lives before they can become humans."

..

YiiXi said:

"That makes a lot of sense.

In the pre-society period, the upfront cost of doing business was a bit high.

That is to say, the right of poor people to do business was also plundered by wealth."

..

Mantis Princess said:

"After analysis and summary by historical psychologists:

The contract systems designed by the Glorious Shrine all have one thing in common:

Property rights are far greater than humanity, and the importance of property rights far surpasses that of humanity.

For example, in the pre-society period, humans could go to prison because of debts.

Going to prison because of debts shows that humanity is weak and property rights are far greater than humanity.

The lending contract of humans was designed by the Glorious Shrine in the slave society period.

The Glorious Shrine designed the lending contract to harvest the 'slaves' permanently.

Humans had been using the lending contract for more than four thousand years without any fundamental changes."
