Another day and night.
Every day is not the same as the day before.
At this point, even a natural pervert like Chen Lian can feel a little unusual, but to be honest, her physical flaws make it impossible for her to understand the emotions of the voters and what they represent. meaning.
Therefore, she can only stare at the statistics that are constantly read on the TV with a murderous look. The closer to the last cut-off point, the faster the "No" option will rise.
The current online voting "whether or not" is -14225264:14210754
Shen Lian stared at the screen for a long time.
This close result was something she had never imagined before, and she was shocked but still had the last hope.
She can still win, and she will definitely win, which makes her current state a lot like a drowning person clinging to life-saving straws, otherwise she will really not be able to survive.
Lin Chen looked at the lady across from the square table and answered her question just now: "You know, because I bet four lives, I think the result must be that more people choose "No". And you need to reveal that many people are wearing There is inherent selfishness under the guise of kindness, so you need a 'yes' answer."
"But I won't lose Shen Lian, at least in this matter, I won't lose."
The chandeliers on the ceiling cast a warm yellow light, casting an uncertain tint on everything.
The lady across from the square table has a little messy hair, and the background behind Shen Lian is the vast night. She is no longer the calm and winning appearance she used to be, but she still seems to think that the scale of victory will definitely tilt in her direction: "Consultant Lin, I find that you have been By avoiding a positive answer, does this mean that you don't actually dare to admit your inner thoughts?"
Lin Chen glanced at the night outside the window, the time was almost up, and he no longer needed to hide anything.
"A few years ago, psychology and human behaviorist Mark Hauser and others brought the classic train dilemma to the Internet." He looked at Shen Lian and spoke calmly.
“200,000 respondents around the world were surveyed, and it was the famous train track problem, which was almost the same as the question received by tens of millions of inhabitants of the three provinces in one day. In the field of philosophy and psychology research, we put similar The problem is defined as a moral dilemma."
He said to himself, and gestured to Shen Lian with his eyes to stay calm.
"In the survey, there were two different forms of asking the question," he said.
"The first is the most primitive railroad problem, the problem is as follows-
The cart on the track lost control and hit five people in front of it. If the cart continued to move forward, then these five people would die. The only solution was for the trackman to switch the cart to another track. one person. The question is: Should the orbiter kill this person in order to save five people? "
He suddenly leaned forward and asked Shen Lian, "What do you think?"
Shen Lian leaned against the back of the chair subconsciously: "You don't answer me directly, but expect me to answer you directly?"
"Okay, I'll tell you the results directly," Lin Chen said. "The survey results are as follows—regardless of ethnicity, age and group, 89% of the 200,000 respondents around the world believe that trackers should flip the switch. ."
In the TV news, the female anchor was reciting the survey results of a certain place, and the voice was low and serious, and it sounded just right.
Hearing this, Shen Lian had some incredible emotions on her face, and then she smiled slowly, very proud, as if she finally got the desired result.
Lin Chen took Shen Lian's pride into his eyes, this time, he didn't give Shen Lian a chance to speak, he said: "According to your opinion, this online survey conclusion can actually prove that people are inherently selfish, and most people are selfish by nature. A few will be sacrificed for the greater good."
"Consultant Lin, I found that your view of human nature is indeed more thorough than mine!" Chen Lian interjected, praising him so much.
Lin Chen looked at the woman's victorious face, he looked up at the bright moon outside the iron window, and said calmly: "Yes, if there is no second question and another investigation result, your opinion may be impeccable. ."
He suddenly sat up straight, and quickly said seriously: "The second question is as follows—
Same as the first scenario, it's still a runaway rail car about to hit five people, you're standing on an overpass as a trackman, and by your side is a strong stranger, if you push the stranger Get off the bridge and get him stuck on the track, then the cart will stop, and although the stranger will die, you can save five people. The question is: Should the tracker push the stranger off the bridge and save five people? "
Lin Chen thought that his attitude was serious enough.
But at this time, Shen Lian still looked up at him, with an inexplicable emotion on his face: "Does it make any difference? Consultant Lin."
Lin Chen looked at the woman's innocent and ignorant eyes against the moonlight. Never before has he felt such a huge gap.
Shen Lian couldn't notice it at all, he told himself.
But at this point, the story has to go on: "Actually this time, 89% of people chose - shouldn't."
Sure enough, after this number appeared.
Shen Lianxiu frowned and even her body muscles were visibly tensed. A smart person like her clearly realized that there was a very serious problem here, and now the mighty large-scale voting is also a thorough psychology. trap.
She would really lose, but she didn't know where she lost.
"Why is this happening?" Lin Chen looked at Shen Lian, and explained to another person in this world in a very peaceful tone: "Because psychology is a science, the reason is that on the one hand, many of its conclusions come from Based on the results of large-scale experiments and statistical data, on the other hand, behind every psychological phenomenon, you can mostly find the corresponding neuropsychological mechanism.”
Shen Lian looked at him suspiciously.
Lin Chen said: "The two different outcomes of similar questions made neuropsychologists curious. The scientists then scanned the brain activity of the subjects under these two different problem situations."
"You are engaged in brain-related drugs, so you should be able to understand this result better." He stared at Shen Lian and said, "In the context of the first question of whether to pull the track, the brain areas of reasoning and problem-solving increased; The second question, whether to kill a stranger to save five people, increased activity in brain domains related to emotion and social cognition."
Shen Lian was silent for a moment, and then the sound of the chain shaking frantically sounded in the interrogation room. The woman thought frantically and tried to put her hand into her mouth. This was a state of psychological compensation under extreme anxiety.
"Neuropsychologists have different kinds of explanations for this phenomenon. One is that pulling the track has nothing to do with the individual, so people use reasoning-related brain domains to make judgments; pushing down the stranger is contextually relevant to the specific individual. , in this situation, the emotions and the part in charge of social cognition come first; and another explanation is... "Lin Chen's voice overwhelmed the clanging sound of the room and overwhelmed the voice of the female anchor behind reporting the results," There is a common view among normal humans—that it is acceptable to sacrifice a small part for the greater good, but in reality, you cannot actively force others to sacrifice deliberately.”
Lin Chen's words are really simple, but when he said this, Shen Lian suddenly said, "What is this, Consultant Lin?" She laughed, since she didn't have a knife in her hand to stab Lin Chen or force Lin Chen to die. Shut up, she could only frantically search her stomach, trying to find all offensive words to refute Lin Chen: "Hypocrisy! Yes, it's hypocrisy, your conclusions whitewash people, but in fact they still can't cover up your cowardly and ugly nature, we it's the same!"
she yelled.
However, in front of her, Mr. Advisor, who was extremely weak, had no intention of giving in.
"This is morality, indulging in love." Lin Chen's eyes were calm and far-reaching, but he didn't mean to brag. He was just narrating the facts, "This proves that there is a moral brake in the human brain, and that the moral brake will be activated in time to prevent people from doing something. , proves that morality is a neural mechanism that exists in the brain rather than an ethereal castle in the air. This proves that morality is nothing but great, because..." Lin Chen pointed to his head and said, "It's here."
After speaking, he pointed to his chest again and said slowly, "It's here too."
