Only the gods can make all dreams come true. However, this divine power also has its drawbacks. All technology can be used for good, and it can also do bad things. At the end of the day, technology is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it can eradicate poverty, disease and ignorance. But on the other hand, technology can also bring disasters to people.
These technologies can make war more dangerous. Perhaps one day, the two sides of the war will be agents wearing various high-tech weapons fighting on the battlefield. True warriors, on the other hand, sit thousands of miles away, using a variety of sophisticated weapons without regard to the collateral damage that war will inflict on civilians. While having proxies participate in war can protect the lives of soldiers, war can also cause huge losses to ordinary people and their property.
Another problem is that this force may be too powerful for ordinary people to control. In the novel Carrie the Witch, Stephen King explores the inner world of a girl who is often ridiculed by her peers. She was always ostracized by her peers, and her life was always filled with endless insults and bullying. However, the person who bullied her did not know that she actually had the ability to actuate mentally.
At a dance, after being bullied, blood spilled on her skirt, and she finally became angry. She summoned all the psychic powers to capture all her classmates and subdue them one by one. In the end, she decided to burn the school to the ground. But in the end she died in the fire.
Not only can this immense divine power be counterproductive, it also has other problems. It may sound ironic, but if it is too obedient to your thoughts and commands, it is likely to destroy you, even if you have all the defenses to use this power. In this way, what you think is likely to lead you to the end of the world.
Movie "Forbidden Planet"
Adapted from Shakespeare's play The Tempest, the plot of a wizard and his daughter stranded on a desert island unfolds. But in Forbidden Planet, the story begins with a professor and his daughter trapped on a distant planet, home to the "Claire" civilization, which is millions of years ahead of human civilization. The Krehrer's greatest achievement was to create a device capable of giving them the ultimate psychic ability to control consciousness in any form. Anything they want will become a reality. It's a superpower that can reshape reality according to their wishes.
However, on the eve of their greatest victory, the Kreer civilization disappeared without a trace the moment they turned on the device. What is it that has destroyed such a highly developed civilization?
When an Earthlings come to the planet to rescue the Professor and his daughter, they discover that there is a terrifying monster on the planet that can kill pilots through consciousness. Finally, a pilot discovers the secrets behind the Claire civilization and monsters. When he was dying, the pilot left a message: "The monster comes from the 'original self.'" ”
The professor slowly figured out this astonishing truth. The night the Claires turned on their psychic motivation, they fell asleep. All the desires of the Kreer ego were suddenly released and quickly fulfilled. What has long buried the subconscious of these highly civilized creatures is the primitive desire and greed of the ancient past. All illusions, all the desire for revenge, came true in an instant, and overnight, such a well-developed civilization was destroyed. They were invincible and invincible, but there was one thing they could not control: their subconscious.
This is a lesson for those who are eager to unleash the power of the heart. In the mind, you can discover the greatest achievements of mankind and the beauty of the human mind. But you will also find the shadow of the devil in the self.
