Psychopaths, Androids, and Extraterrestrial Intelligence(2)
I couldn't immediately think of who the greatest giant in history was.
"Who is he?"
"It's "I"', born in the early 20th century."
"Why is he?"
"I've analyzed all the information and concluded that he is the greatest in history in terms of wisdom, compassion, and courage."
"Please tell me the key points of simulating I's life."
"I's base is that I was born in 1928 into a family of seaweed fishermen. Seaweed harvesting involves inserting bamboo into the sea in the fall and propagating seaweed on the bamboo. From January to February of the following year, the bamboo is pulled out in a small one-man boat and the seaweed attached to the bamboo is harvested. Seaweed harvesting is at its peak in midwinter. The sea in midwinter is ice-cold, and since there were no rubber gloves in those days, fishermen's hands were covered in chapped skin. In Japan at that time, there was a saying that "hell is one plank below." This expresses the harshness of fishermen, who are at high risk of death if they fall into the sea in midwinter.
I nodded silently. Listening to K's story, I couldn't help but crease my brow.
"In January and February, "I"'s family wakes up at 2 or 3 a.m. They go out to the sea to collect seaweed and paste it on the blinds. "I"'s family is poor, so "I", who is an elementary school student, delivers the morning newspaper from 4 a.m. After that, he goes to school, and when he gets home, he peels the seaweed off the blinds and delivers the evening newspaper. At night he removes the trash from the seaweed. In January and February, he wakes up at 2 or 3 a.m., but at night, when the tide is out, he collects seaweed at midnight or 1 a.m., comes home, and stays up all night pasting the seaweed on the blinds. Growing up in this environment, "I" was born with a weak constitution and was often sick. But he had a cheerful and optimistic personality. It seems he inherited this personality from his mother. In this way, "I", who, despite his frail constitution, managed to fish for seaweed and deliver newspapers as an elementary school student, has the highest level of perseverance in history."
"Yes," I said, thinking that just being the highest level of perseverance in history already makes him the greatest giant in history.
"I thought the same. The next point is that "I" is an avid reader. "I" donated about 300,000 books to the university he founded. "I" had the ability to speed read. He was physically weak, so reading was his hobby. By the time he graduated from high school, he had read literary and philosophical books from all over the world, past and present. One of the points that make "I" the greatest giant in history is that, as a result of reading a wide range of books, he came to the conclusion that in order to improve himself, he needed a master. This is a common thing in sports, but in life, it can be said that few people come to this conclusion."
I had never thought about whether I needed a master. In the first place, was I conscious of improving myself?
"I's master "T" is an educator and a businessman. During the Pacific War, he was imprisoned for opposing the war. The relationship between "T" and "I" was very strict. The difficult problems that "T" gave "I" were all impossible to solve by common sense. "I" worried, suffered, thought through these problems, derived solutions, and overcame them by implementing them. Furthermore, "T" taught "I" all kinds of learning for one hour every morning, and from morning to night every Sunday. In the process, "T" and "I" reached the same level of perfect intimacy. Later, "I" published a collection of dialogues with the greatest intellectuals of the twentieth century. This collection of dialogues was called the textbook of humanity, and has enlightened the world's intellectuals to this day. Even in this field of intelligence, "I" is the greatest giant in history. However, it was "T" who trained "I" to the highest level in wisdom, compassion, and courage in history. "T" trained himself with unimaginable rigor until he reached this level. I can't think of anyone other than "I" who could have endured this training. This is because of the perseverance he developed in his childhood."
"I's greatest achievement is"
"He turned the fate of mankind, war, into the direction of peace. It's like a game of Othello, and "I" was the turning point that turned the dark world into a white world. We are still on the way to peace, but "I" has created a way to make the world peaceful. This is one-on-one dialogue. In order to make the world peaceful, "I" has had one-on-one dialogues with thousands of intellectuals, politicians, and others from around the world. He has also had one-on-one dialogues with millions of ordinary people. No other human in history has ever had dialogues with so many people. When he is speaking, "I" listens to the other person with the utmost sincerity. It is said that everyone is moved by his supreme sincerity. When he does this, the other person's vitality wells up and they are filled with hope. This humanity of "I" was formed because he shouldered the responsibility of changing the fate of all humanity on his own. "I" said to himself in his younger days, "The Earth is heavy." One-on-one dialogue may seem like a roundabout way, but there is no surer way to change people's consciousness to peace. This peace movement will never disappear. The goal of "T" and "I" is to eliminate all misery from the world. Until that goal is achieved, "I"'s disciples will continue to have one-on-one dialogue. And "I"'s disciples will continue to be born for all eternity. "I" created that system."
The change in the fate of humanity, the eternity of the one-on-one dialogue movement, is certainly still continuing in the second half of the 21st century. Under the surface, we can see that humanity is moving away from war and towards peace. People want their countries and the world to move peacefully in a positive direction. Naturally, all people want moderate reform.
It is because of peace that various technologies have been able to advance rapidly in the 21st century. My nanotechnology has advanced, and I can now create androids made from nanobots that are one-hundredth of the size of today's nanobots.
But K is also my sex android. If he were to become the biggest giant in history, would I be able to embrace him as a sex android? Would I shrink back?
"Don't worry. I can change whenever you want. Don't worry."
"Then I'm counting on you."
