The person was still the same, but tainted with a bit more personal bias than they should have.
So the answer was clear.
As early as 500 years later in the future, at the founding of the World Government, human beings had already begun to be infiltrated.
But this infiltration might require a certain price, or perhaps due to distance and numerous other possible factors, it could only target a small number of people, Captains, or even higher-ranked leaders.
Moreover, to prevent discovery, the effects of infiltration were not intense but remained hidden, lurking until the final moments when it suddenly erupted.
No one knew they were infiltrated, and everyone thought their motivations and decisions were unquestionable.
But the fact was, the invisible enemy had calculated everything from the very beginning, leaving no stone unturned.
That’s why many policies over the past 500 years seemed strange and difficult to understand from Harrison’s perspective.
Cloning and synthetic genes, suppressing and killing human emotions, indulging in the welfare for the unemployed, closing the gap for the lower class to rise and learn…
On the surface, these strategies seemed to efficiently maintain stability and accelerate technological progress, and indeed achieved impressive results.
But progress that can’t lead to victory is always meaningless.
The so-called accelerated success was nothing more than the self-proclaimed outcome of the World Government, which paid the price of an entire generation’s life for a single scientific revolution.
After the end of civilization’s history, no one knew what the true acceleration should look like.
Now, Harrison had a different view.
Killing human emotions and turning everyone into machines and components, extreme division of labor and a society that focuses solely on preserving civilization as the only motive, was not perfect.
Inspiration for free-thinking and creativity often came not from expertise, but from broad knowledge and diversity.
Under the framework of a military-dominated social system, human creativity was stifled.
The seemingly high productivity of a so-called high-welfare society only satisfied basic survival needs but fell far short of the need for solving crises and breaking free from the Solar System.
Productivity was only relatively excessive, not absolutely excessive.
It’s possible to conceal the truth of the apocalypse to prevent terrorism, but it’s not possible to hide knowledge and stifle creativity and upward mobility from the public.
If everyone could unite, perhaps they wouldn’t have to experience the heartbreaking story of the Yellowstone Research Institute’s predecessor, and they could break through the bottleneck of technology.
From the very beginning, overly mechanized logic should not have been allowed to replace human emotions and select our genetic pairings.
People born in such conditions were too likely to become unemployed and lack willpower.
Like Nora Camp, such people, who seemed to be freely combined, were essentially the same as those selected by machines.
Of countless genetically engineered people, why is only Harrison a genius? Because he is different by nature, while others lack the blessing of fate.
The driving force behind human reproduction should have been the instincts formed over millions of years of evolution, and the offspring should not be a theoretically calculated optimal solution.
Assuming no enemies and the continuation of human existence, such optimal solutions could ultimately lead to the mechanization of humans and their complete replacement by machines, which would be another concept of extinction.
Reproduction should be a product of emotions, creating infinite possibilities.
Therefore, Harrison had reason to believe that behind the birth of the completely unified military world government in this timeline, there might have been secret guidance from the enemy, leading to a dead end.
Deep within, Harrison felt an urge to try his best to change the future structure.
With his current capabilities, he couldn’t fathom or practice a different path out of nowhere, because he didn’t know which path was right.
But without a doubt, there must be more creative social structures, such as parliamentarianism, monarchy, democracy, federalism, or a pure military system.
However, he believed that sooner or later, he would find the right path because he had the opportunity to experiment.
He would attempt to change the future and observe the results it brought.
If he was wrong, he would try again.
Discovering incorrect outcomes and eliminating wrong choices would eventually reveal the one right path.
The moment he came to this realization, he opened his eyes.
He was no longer clueless about the future catastrophe.
Getting up, washing up, Harrison looked down at his phone, pondering the events of this era.
His goals became clearer in his mind, and he knew what he should do next.
Before long, he made a decision, waiting half an hour to contact Carrie, who had gone to the Beiduo Music Academy to create the song “A Dull Life,” while also booking his own ticket there.
Yes, he would shamelessly snatch away part of the achievement that originally belonged to Carrie.
The composition and arrangement of the song “The Fire.”
This made him seem despicable, but he had his own motives.
At least this time, plagiarizing the song was not for money or fame.
The final success of the song “The Fire” was determined by two key factors – lyrics and melodies.
The lyrics had already been written by Carrie, which could not be copied..
