The sunshine of the coast of Mexico, warm and unrestrained, just like the character of the people of this land, just under this blue sea and blue sky, hides a huge controversy experiment, the mastermind of this experiment, a sociologist named Santiago, who tries to challenge the bottom line of human civilization and explore the most primitive desires in the depths of human nature
The picture comes from the Internet
Santiago firmly believes that all the order of human society is based on fragile morality and law, and once these shackles are broken, barbarism hidden under the cloak of civilization will grow unchecked, and in order to test his theory, he decided to conduct a bold experiment, an experiment that challenges the bottom line of human ethics
Ten young people from different backgrounds, six men and four women, in the prime of their youth, were told that they would be engaged in a "survival challenge at sea", spending 100 days on a luxury yacht, enjoying the sun, sand and freedom, and the rewards and thrills of the young people, unaware that they were about to embark on an unknown journey, a journey to the abyss of humanity
The picture comes from the Internet
Santiago had prepared everything for this experiment, he had chartered a well-equipped yacht, stocked up with plenty of food and fresh water, and even carefully prepared a large number of condoms, knowing that in an isolated environment, the competition for sexual resources would be an inevitable fuse, and he wanted to see for himself what kind of evil would breed in the darkest corners of human nature when the shackles of morality and law were gone, when primitive desires were infinitely magnified
In the initial phase of the experiment, to Santiago's surprise, the ten young men who boarded the ship did not fall into chaos due to the competition for resources, as he expected, showed amazing adaptability, and soon established a new order, fishing, swimming, chatting, singing, and enjoying rare freedom and happiness under the blue sea and blue sky
The picture comes from the Internet
Is human nature really not as unbearable as imagined? Could it be that morality and law are the prisons that imprison human nature? Santiago began to doubt his own judgment, and he waited anxiously, waiting for some turning point, for the beastly side of human nature to fully explode
Time passed, life on the yacht was calm and regular, and a subtle bond gradually formed between young people, who attracted each other, tested each other, and the seeds of love quietly sprouted in this isolated sea
The picture comes from the Internet
Finally, a man and a woman break the taboo, they kiss on the deck, lingering in the moonlight, this is the first condom to be used since the beginning of the experiment, Santiago is excited, he seems to see the dawn of hope, the most primitive desire in human nature is about to break through the shackles of civilization
The development of events was once again beyond his expectations, and the behavior of the man and woman did not cause others to follow suit, let alone cause the expected chaos and fighting, and the other young people only smiled in understanding, and even sent blessings
The picture comes from the Internet
They seem to have found a new mode of getting along, a mode of getting along that has found a delicate balance between freedom and restraint, between desire and reason, and they respect and tolerate each other, and jointly maintain the harmony and tranquility of this maritime paradise
Santiago hid in a small boat in the distance, observing all this through a telescope, his heart was full of confusion and incomprehension, his carefully designed experiments seemed to deviate from the predetermined track, and these "evils" in human nature, these conflicts and chaos that he tried to provoke, observe, and even expect, did not come as expected
The picture comes from the Internet
Could it be that his theory was wrong from the start? Is it true that human nature is inherently good, and even if it is free from the constraints of social rules, it can still maintain goodness and rationality? Santiago fell into deep thought, and he began to reflect on his years of research and perseverance, trying to find new answers from the results of this unexpected experiment
Time passed in peace, and in the blink of an eye, most of the experiment had passed, life on the yacht was still calm and regular, and a stable relationship had been formed between young people, who formed several couples, took care of each other, supported each other, and faced the challenges of the sea together
The picture comes from the Internet
They learn to fish, learn to identify directions, learn to survive with limited resources, they are no longer strangers from different backgrounds, but a small group of solidarity and cooperation, a "small society" that supports each other in the face of adversity
Santiago observed that this group of young people was not without contradictions and conflicts, they would quarrel over the distribution of food, they would argue over differences of opinion, and they would even get into quarrels over trivial matters
The picture comes from the Internet
These contradictions and conflicts are just small episodes in life, and they have not affected the feelings and unity between them, they will apologize to each other, understand each other, and finally resolve the contradictions and get back together
Santiago found that this group of young people seemed to have found a bond stronger than morality and law, that is, the affection and trust between people, they cared for each other, helped each other, and jointly maintained the harmony and stability of this "small society".
The picture comes from the Internet
After 100 days, Santiago, who had completed the experiment, personally boarded the yacht to greet this group of young people who had "returned from the sea", their tanned skin, but also more mature and steady, their eyes were full of love for life and longing for the future
Santiago looked at the group of young people in front of him, and his heart was mixed, his experiment, although it did not achieve the expected results, allowed him to see a more complex and profound side of human nature
The picture comes from the Internet
He realized that human nature is not simply a binary opposition between "good" and "evil", but is full of infinite possibilities, and in different environments and under different conditions, human nature will show different faces
Morality and law are important guarantees for maintaining social order, but they are not the only factors, and the emotion, trust, cooperation and understanding between people are also the indispensable cornerstones of building a harmonious society
The picture comes from the Internet
Although the San Diego experiment ended in failure, it triggered people's deeper thinking about human nature and society, and this experiment has also become a classic case in the history of sociological research, which has been continuously mentioned and discussed by later generations
Perhaps, as one philosopher said, "Human nature is like a complex and mysterious labyrinth, and we cannot fully explore its mysteries in our lifetimes"
The picture comes from the Internet
The San Diego experiment has only opened a small window for us to peek into the labyrinth of human nature, and let us have a deeper understanding of ourselves and society
This experiment also shows us that even in the most extreme circumstances, even in the absence of legal and moral constraints, there is still a ray of hope in human nature
And this light of hope comes from the emotion and trust between people, and from our common pursuit of a better life
