Criminal Psychology

In the Hongjing Detention Center, police officers are installing a TV.

When Lin Chen agreed to Shen Lian, he never thought of avoiding it from the very beginning.

Shen Lian crossed her legs, like a cute little girl, looking forward to seeing the black screen light up as soon as possible.

"Where did I say..." Lin Chen was distracted by turning his head, so he asked suddenly.

Shen Lian raised her hand that was bound by the shackles, squeezed her thumb and index finger together, pretending to pull out a long and thin thread, but did not speak.

Lin Chen nodded: "In the beginning, after experiencing the choice of real moral dilemmas, I was very at a loss. In order to fill my ignorance, I read a lot of books discussing the origin of morality and the evolution of human psychology. The more I have, the more I am at a loss. The fairness, justice, freedom, rationality, kindness, and beauty that I firmly believe in... Do these things really exist, or are they just made up by people in order to maintain human society? something that appears."

He talked eloquently, and did not shy away from this experience. In fact, at that time, he thought that if he wanted to defeat the opponent, he had to unlock the answer, but everyone knew that no one could unlock the real answer.

Shen Lian sat with her arms folded, the contempt in her eyes was obvious.A person with firm belief like Shen Lian should look down on someone who is not firm like him.

"Some people who engage in philosophy choose to commit suicide. This is probably the reason. The aimless chaotic state is too easy to make people feel overwhelmed." Lin Chen put his hands on the table and said casually: "Theoretically, I should also Suicide. But until one day, I suddenly realized, why do I have to find a definite answer?" He looked at Shen Lian and smiled, "Look, this is the fundamental difference between me and him."

"Social contract, natural jurisprudence, collective subconscious, selfish genes... I can recognize and understand many points of view, and I can also understand the criticism of these points of view, so I will be at a loss, and I can't find anything that is absolutely correct. But he Different, he is a paranoid, he looked through the history of human evolution, found something he recognized, he took it as a life-saving straw, regarded it as the truth, and instilled it in you, he desperately needs to let the people he designated as the same kind recognize his point of view, he even needs the society he rebels to agree with his point of view. Facing such a lunatic, what an ignorant and incompetent person like me can do..." Lin Chen paused, looked at Shen Lian, and said, "I All I can do is try to figure out what he believes in, what he's thinking, what he's going to do in my field of expertise, and then... beat him."

The interrogation room was really small, with gray walls, and his voice was completely dissipated when it hit the walls.

The clouds flowing outside the iron window seemed to be stagnant, and the surroundings were so quiet that there was not a single sound.

"Pfft."

Shen Lian smiled.

The woman looked at him with the eyes of a gnat, and Lin Chen thought it was normal.

He said: "He used the isomers of TERN to prove the biological inevitability of the so-called criminal behavior, and he used the trolley problem before everyone to prove the widespread selfishness of human beings. He wanted to prove that when it comes to personal interests, , the morality that most people in this society uphold in their hearts is false and something that can be broken with one blow. This is an obvious motive, but... and then?" Lin Chen's fingertips were on the dilapidated space between him and Shen Lian Lightly tap on the table, and said: "So what, it has been proved that the solid social contract agreed between people in this society will not really be broken into pieces because of a madman's game. So until I saw the balance game on the tightrope 'Before the word, I couldn't understand what he wanted." Lin Chen paused, his expression suddenly changed, "It turns out that he is even crazier than I imagined."

……

Hongjing City Bureau, command room.

Xing Conglian is not very good at this kind of thing, but Lin Chen is trying hard to break Shen Lian's spiritual belief little by little at the moment, so he has to undertake some other things.

He tapped the glass plate and said: "The original meaning of this word is a hypothesis, specifically referring to a subtle moment in the history of human moral evolution. For example, put aside all the concepts about modern society in your mind, there are no high-rise buildings. Without good food and clothing, we go back to Africa 4.5 years ago, and the African Homo sapiens at that time were already anatomically modern.” He paused, and then said, “Yes, that’s right, and Modern people like us."

Xing Conglian pointed to everyone in the room, and said, "We are all in the same group, but at that time we didn't have the same moral and legal concepts as we do now. We also look similar to chimpanzees. You robbed me of my territory and put me on the ground." I'll kill you woman, there's nothing wrong with that. There's a perception that our genes are selfish and make us behave selfishly. At the time, each of us was born 'egoist'. But over time, living in There are more and more people in the group, and mistakes appear."

"I am powerful. I can torture and kill others at will, seriously threatening your life and safety. There are also a group of supporters standing behind me, and the two sides are in a confrontation. At this time, the respected Minister Shen stepped forward and told everyone that I Deserve to die. As the rest of the group, you have already had enough. You have united and killed or expelled me and my supporters. Accept Minister Shen's call to stand up against my warriors, have loyalty, bravery, compassion And so on, these people are 'altruists'."

"Wave after wave of extremists have been wiped out, and the ethnic group has gradually stabilized. Because of the stability, it is more competitive and therefore able to reproduce and grow better. This is the result of natural selection. The definition of character is also defined by altruism. The reproduction of the human beings is gradually fixed, and rules and laws appear in human beings, and the social contract comes from this, which is the group selection theory of the origin of morality." Xing Conglian looked at everyone present and said seriously, "However, this Is everything really the inevitable result of natural selection?"

He didn't give everyone present time to think, and asked directly and simply: "Is there a dangerous moment in the process of human evolution, where the forces of "egoists" I represent and the forces of "altruists" you represent A delicate balance has been formed. This is a moment of life and death. After either side gains the upper hand, society will form two completely different situations. If you win, society will become what you want; and once I succeed, the offspring who carry my genes It will lead the entire human society to the abyss I expect."

He put his hands in his pockets, and said extremely coldly, "This is the balance on the wire. It is a truly great moment that will determine the future social form of mankind."

……

A remote control was put down in front of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen picked up the remote control, nodded his thanks to the police officer, and asked Shen Lian: "So, what is his purpose?"

He asked, and then replied: "I think his purpose is not to create this moment immediately, but to think more deeply. What he wants to do is to provide a great possibility for the reappearance of this moment in the future."

"He's going to plant a seed of selfishness in everyone's heart."

"This seed is planted in the hearts of the choosers, in the hearts of the abstainers, and even in the hearts of the observers. The seeds will multiply and grow through generations of human beings, and will create a future for all extreme egoists who are not tolerated by society like you. A possibility."

"One day, the group of egoists will eventually grow to an incomparably terrifying scale, and at that moment, human beings will once again usher in the balance game on the tightrope, and once again get the chance to choose their fate."

"This is what he really wants to do."
