I recently watched "Godzilla: King of the Monsters". The main story line is very simple. It continues the content of the previous film. The heroine is experiencing the loss of her son. After the pain, he realized that human beings bear original sin and are the source of infection on the earth. Behemoths should be used to restore the ecological balance of the earth. So the heroine recreated "Oka", awakened the giant beasts by releasing sound waves, and gradually released the giant beasts sleeping all over the world. However, it was later discovered that the released giant beast Ghidorah was an alien invading creature, and its purpose was to destroy Earth. As the apex predator, Megazord Zero summons the fire demon Rodan and other giant beasts to start destroying the earth from all over the world, and only Godzilla can fight against it. Godzilla, who once destroyed the human homeland and was also the culprit behind the death of the son of the hero and heroine, has saved humanity from danger time and time again. Godzilla, who once threatened mankind, stood in the human camp this time and became the key to saving mankind.
The world's top scientific researchers finally realized that Godzilla is not the old enemy of mankind. His mission is to restore the ecological balance of the earth, not to threaten human survival.
But the government was eager to destroy the giant beasts and fired missiles at them during a fight between Ghidorah and Godzilla. Ghidorah is immune to missiles. However, Godzilla was seriously injured and returned to the deep sea to heal his injuries by absorbing radiation from the earth's core. In order to restore Godzilla's combat effectiveness, Dr. Serizawa sacrificed himself to detonate a nuclear bomb, which raised Godzilla's combat effectiveness to an unprecedented level, and finally completely eliminated Monster Zero Ghidorah with the help of Monster Queen Mothra. The other giant beasts on the earth were intimidated by Godzilla's fighting power, and they all surrendered to Godzilla's feet, and the world regained balance.
1. What is stability?
In recent years, I have heard a sentence more and more often, that is, "the only constant in this world is change." In any group, there are two sides, yin and yang. People often say that all evil must be eradicated, but the fact is that good and evil are two sides of the same coin, and neither side can exist alone. This is why existence and non-being are related to each other, difficulty and easy are related to each other, long and short are compared to each other, and high and low are inversely related to each other. The government originally thought that if the giant beasts were eliminated, mankind would gain long-term peace. However, they did not know that eliminating the giant beasts would also eliminate their own hope of survival. Only dynamic balance is the way to long-term peace.
If any group wants to maintain stability, it must have two opposing parties to check each other. In ancient times, this was the so-called emperor's art. Currently, China and the United States are at war with each other over trade issues, but eventually a new balance will be formed. The current stage is the time to strive to maximize our own interests under this premise.
Therefore, do not underestimate the flexibility of the word "stability", and do not be afraid to make breakthroughs and innovations, because this is not an act that destroys stability, but is precisely the only way to form a superior form of stability.
2. Where will mankind go?
The heroine Vera Farmiga is my favorite actress, and I agree with the thought process in the heroine's drama. She believes that the survival situation of mankind is already in danger. Environmental pollution, war, etc. are pushing mankind to a desperate situation. Without external intervention, the outcome of mankind's demise is obvious.
But the heroine in the movie should not assume the role of God without authorization. In life, we often encounter things that are unfair but powerless. At this time, we will hate the injustice of society and the uselessness of the law. However, the existing social order and legal system have been tested by history and are in line with the ideal country of fairness and efficiency that is Pareto optimal. If you want to seek personal justice, you will inevitably break this ideal country that is in the interests of the vast majority of people. Order is definitely not desirable.
Qi Bao said that there was once a debate question about sacrificing one person’s life in exchange for the lives of more people. Are you willing to do it? The key to this issue is that human life cannot be compared and measured. One person's life is equally valuable as the lives of a group of people.
Even if one day mankind really reaps the consequences, it will be nature’s last judgment on mankind, and this judgment should not be made by a certain person or a certain group.
Teacher Wang Dongyue’s theory of “weak compensation” emphasizes that as a biological attribute or initiative increases (the degree of compensation increases), its survivability tendency gradually approaches zero (the degree of existence decreases). , which sets an increasingly approaching natural limit for human reproduction in the world.
Nothing is always reversed, and the journey of life is always a one-way street.
As a member of the human race, all we can do is do what we can do and love the people we can love in the present moment.
