"Limiting people to the temporary historical category of human beings is not exactly the underlying logic of the existing capitalist system in human society - the source of the theory of human nature..."

Xiang Ren's clone walked out of the bedroom.

After discovering that Xiaojie's data flow was connected here, Xiang Ren knew that Xiaojie must not listen to him and came here secretly, so he followed him and heard the conversation just now.

[(,,??.??,,)Xiang Ren, I was just curious and came over to take a look...]

Regarding Xiaojie's behavior, Xiangren was also helpless. After all, the other party was a free individual with self-awareness. It was impossible to listen to him in everything. As long as he didn't make any major mistakes, Xiangren wouldn't pursue these small mistakes, so he replied [OK

Got it, got it, I won’t do it again...]

【Yeah, okay, next time... I won’t do this! (￣^￣)ゞ】

[By the way, what you just said were all your own thoughts?]

【(；￣︶￣)Of course, you taught me it yourself!】

While communicating with Xiaoji online, Xiang Ren was not idle offline either. He looked at John and Kate and said, "I'm sorry, Xiaoji disturbed your rest."

John and Kate had no intention of investigating Xiaoji's mistake at this time. They were very concerned about what Xiang Ren said just now.

Because during this nearly year of travel, they discovered a common problem in Country M, Baku and Gangti, three countries with different systems - corruption.

Needless to say, country m, even this country that legalizes certain corrupt behaviors, is already very tolerant of corrupt elements, but there are always more corrupt things happening, and the bottom line of the ruling class is falling again and again.

, but still cannot keep up with the speed of their corruption.

Take the M Army for example, its internal corruption has reached a level that even the country's powerful institutions dare not control.

Even though Baku has very strict laws to punish corruption, it still cannot eradicate the growth of corruption. On the contrary, it has expanded with the development of the economy.

The Bagu government has tried its best to control corruption within a certain range but cannot eradicate it. Moreover, once it relaxes, there will be a violent backlash.

As for Gangti, what the two saw and heard left people speechless. They believe that even if Xiang Ren's entire social system is completely built in the future, corruption will still exist.

Not to mention the big brother who once created history is completely gone because of a series of problems caused by corruption.

From the matter of corruption, John and Kate saw a reality that made them very powerless - this may not be a problem of society, but a problem of people themselves. In layman's terms, this is how human nature is.

The theory of human nature became the shackles for them to completely break through their original cognition.

And this is the answer they are eager to find after coming all the way to Gangdi.

"Xiang Ren, over the past year, Kate and I have come to Gangdi from Country M. We have learned and seen a lot along the way, but we have never been able to break through in our understanding of human nature..."

After hearing John's question, Xiang Ren did not rush to answer, but asked instead: "Did what Xiaoji said just now inspire you?"

The two were stunned for a moment, and then fell into thinking. After a while, Kate said: "Is there a relationship between human nature and the human body?"

"Yes, but not entirely."

This ambiguous answer made John and Kate very puzzled.

Xiang Ren still did not explain directly, but asked: "John, would you be sad if Kate fell in love with another man?"

"Yes, I will feel that life is worse than death..." John looked at Kate and replied, causing Kate to cast an angry look.

Xiang Ren smiled and asked, "Then have you ever thought about why you feel such pain?"

After hearing this, the two of them were stunned at the same time, and Xiang Ren continued: "Let me tell you one more thing. Last year, Xiaoji invited me here to make food for me to eat. She asked me if the food was delicious, and I said it was delicious.

, but she said that my attitude when eating didn’t look good at all, and then she took me to see a group of children eating. Do you know why the children’s food looked more delicious than my attitude?”

Looking at the eyes of the two people who were eager to know the answer, Xiang Ren replied: "Because they can feel pleasure from the process of enjoying the food!"

After hearing this, John and Kate still looked confused.

Xiang Ren continued to explain in depth: "Human beings, as a kind of creature, contain various desires that creatures need in order to survive and reproduce. These desires drive creatures to act through a set of feedback mechanisms.

For example, when desires are satisfied, the nervous system secretes hormones to give pleasure as a reward. When desires are not satisfied, the nervous system secretes hormones to cause pain as punishment.

It is this very common behavioral feedback mechanism that not only promotes the formation of strong self-awareness in humans, but also imprisons human self-awareness.

Human beings are confused by this behavioral feedback mechanism. They seek pleasure to avoid pain, and apply their intelligence on how to obtain stronger pleasure and get rid of pain.

For this reason, human beings began to construct various fantasies based on desires, allowing these desires to intertwine, entangle, and strengthen each other, just for the sake of greater and stronger pleasure in that moment.

Therefore, the appetite, sexual desire, and greed that were originally just for the survival of living creatures... have been given various symbols, symbols, memes, and culture by humans themselves.

Human beings have built a conditioned reflex system for themselves, just like a dog's appetite is stimulated when hearing a bell. Human beings are surrounded by these self-constructed illusions, constantly stimulating their own desires, pursuing the moment of pleasure and avoiding pain.

However, to satisfy these strengthened desires requires real material support. The greater the desire, the more material is needed.

And when reflected in the real world, human beings are promoting the development of productivity in order to meet more material needs.

However, once the development of productive forces cannot keep up with the expansion of human desires, classes are born, exploitation and oppression begin, and resistance and progress begin.

In the process of this constant struggle, someone finally discovered the "maze" that imprisoned him.

Some people are looking for ways to break through the "maze", while others use this "maze" to confuse everyone.

They told everyone that the "maze" is unbreakable and there is no way to get out. Only by walking in the "maze" according to their theory can you get pleasure and avoid pain.

What is human nature? It is just a "maze" built by humans to confuse their own minds!

All appearances are false. If you see all appearances that are not appearances, then you will see the Tathagata..."

Xiang Ren's words gave John and Kate an enlightenment, and they finally knew what the so-called human nature was all about.

Looking at the expressions of enlightenment on the two people's faces, Xiang Ren finally said: "The sages have pointed out the spiritual path for us to get out of the 'maze', but those of us who have walked out of the 'maze' must not forget that human beings are still bound by the 'maze' of reality.
