When you see that there is no title, everyone will know that I have at least another hour...

"For us,"

As the receptionist spoke, he looked up at the blue sky, as if his thoughts had drifted elsewhere: "... Getting rid of libido is a very simple thing. Not only is it technically simple, but it is also mentally simple. A hurdle that cannot be overcome. Its impact on human psychology is too far-reaching and unpredictable, causing countless distortions, struggles and pains, with few obvious benefits. In the words of your commodity society, libido is already A product that has been eliminated."

For half a minute after his words fell, Lin Sanjiu was unable to speak.

Doctor Cat closed his eyes again as soon as he heard the words "human psychology", which coincided with the early mainstream medical attitude towards psychology; while Bohemia's expression was as blank as the receptionist just now Suddenly an Italian opera was sung - among the people present, only Lin Sanjiu realized the weight of these words.

No wonder...

Looking at the receptionist's half-hidden smile, the little question deep in her mind was finally solved.

Ever since she experienced "garbage man's morning", that vague question floated in the depths of her consciousness; it was neither big nor important, but it made her feel uneasy like the gravel in her shoes. Comfortable.

A man with a very outstanding appearance chose to become a garbageman because he could get the greatest spiritual satisfaction from this job - and the receptionist said this at the time: "For us, the job that can make us There are too many things that make you happy physically and mentally, and the pleasure brought by appearance only accounts for a very small part."

...How is this possible?

Anyone with any knowledge of human psychology will know that it is almost impossible for this group to ignore appearance. "Judging people by their appearance" is a biological behavior passed down from the ape-man era and genetically encoded in the human body. One of the most important reasons is the connection between appearance and sexual reproduction.

The most primitive aesthetic, which is also the basic aesthetic popular among various cultures, is a kind of identification and pursuit of health: rosy complexion, clear eyes, neat teeth, thick hair... People think it is unhealthy. The individual is ugly and seeks mates from the opposite **** with healthy characteristics, essentially in order to better reproduce the next generation. Even same-sex courtship that does not have a reproductive function also reflects similar consistency; as for the various aesthetic diversities developed in culture, it is a story later.

If humans no longer have sexual drive...

When Lin Sanjiu thought of this, she couldn't think anymore. Because her imagination was simply not enough for her to guess what the human mind would be like without libido. Libido is not just the power of sexual reproduction, although it is derived from sex; one psychoanalytic theory even believes that it is the root driving force of all human behavior. Even for eunuchs who have lost their official positions, or for elderly people who are entering their twilight years, libido always drives and affects their lives in various psychological forms——

"Hey, what is that libido?" Bohemia came over and asked softly.

It was too complicated to explain to her - Lin Sanjiu was still immersed in various thoughts aroused by the shock, and just waved her hand like a fly. Bohemia suddenly had a long face, glanced at Dr. Cat sleeping on her skirt, and finally held back her anger.

"How...is this possible?"

Lin Sanjiu looked at the receptionist, unable to understand this concept for a while. Since she couldn't imagine it, she didn't even know where to start. She could only mutter and repeat it again: "How is this possible?"

"In order to prevent you from falling asleep too," the receptionist glanced at Doctor Cat and smiled: "I will not introduce the technical details in detail. I am not a scholar of psychoanalysis, and I cannot use accurate academic methods. Sexual language introduces the impact of this series of changes... If you are interested, you can read the relevant academic papers - oh, I forgot, you won't read the text here."

He frowned slightly, and seemed to find it a bit difficult: "I can only describe my personal feelings and understanding to you... My hobby is writing poetry, so the language may not be precise, please forgive me."

Lin Sanjiu nodded.

"Due to my work, I have a much deeper understanding of other human societies than the average local. But the more I understand, the more I feel how rare and valuable the mushroom society is... Of course, that is another topic . From my understanding, other members of human society are always in a state of being judged by others, right?"

"You mean——"

“When a person walks into the eyes of others, he can never get rid of a series of value judgments that come with it... For example, what kind of job does this person do, what kind of car does he drive, is he fat or thin, etc. There are endless judgments based on skin color, where you are from, etc. If you don’t rely on these standards to make judgments, your society will not know how to treat a person."

This is indeed true.

Lin Sanjiu looked at Bohemia beside her. The conversation seemed to have gone very far away from the topic. Bohemia tilted her head and looked confused, but she still tried hard to understand what the two said. As for whether her idea had wavered, Lin Sanjiu couldn't guess at all.

"But in the mushroom world, when we look at a person, all we see is the person himself. We will not judge the value of this person because of any external factors - you are beautiful and rich, and neither will I. I will long for you and envy you; your facial features are underdeveloped, and I will not hate running away from you. When your eyes still stay on the surface of whether you are powerful or beautiful, what we really long for is the spiritual connection between people. .As you can see, there is actually no concept of money, status, and class in our society. This is not only because we have generally found spiritual pursuits... but also because eliminating them will only bring negative consequences. After the financial pursuit of influence, we removed the biological judgment standard in the body. This allows our society to look directly at a person's purest essence."

The words contained a lot of information and were difficult to understand. He paused here, as if he wanted Lin Sanjiu to digest it.

"When you first arrive, you may ask, without the stimulating factor of money, what do people use as motivation to make society move forward? My answer is that if we want to make human progress, there are factors far more powerful than money, faith. , ideals, hobbies, sense of mission... too many. Similarly, you may ask, without libido, what are people using as the driving force to make society operate and the race to reproduce?"

Lin Sanjiu nodded unconsciously - the wound on the back of his head hurt again.

"The first thing to note is that giving up fertility is a personal choice, and not everyone has to do it. But the trend now is that more and more people realize that getting rid of this heavy, primitive creature The benefits of instinct. So the number of people like me has been increasing in the past twenty years."

He smiled slightly and slightly covered his mouth with his fist. For a moment, he looked a little shy like a teenager. ~IndoMTL.com~ The faces of the people here are pretty good, and it’s not easy to tell their age. Lin Sanjiu can’t tell how old he is—“Secondly, even if we give up our fertility, we will be like other humans, Continue to fulfill the responsibilities of being a member of the species... Because we like this place and this world. Because we like it, we want it to be maintained for a long time and cleanly. To this end, we are willing to donate all our sperm and Eggs, or raising your own clones."

As soon as the last few words were heard, Bohemia took a sharp breath.

Even if there are genetic similarities between parent and child, the mother and daughter will not even sound so similar... Lin Sanjiu glanced at her and whispered: "The reflection that Meijia saw in the puddle, you still Remember? If you could ignore the wounds and swelling, she was exactly the teenage version of her mother..."

Thinking about it this way, when they first entered this world, they had seen a report about a fire in a kindergarten at Lao Da's house. The unhappy-looking parent on TV seemed to be holding a child of himself.

But...

Lin Sanjiu suddenly became a little uncertain.

So what?
