The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 478 The Self-fulfillment of Prophecy

Yes, very normal questionnaire.

He Nan thought it was right.

Compared to the other crazy things going on in this city, this is normal enough.

It can be seen that it is indeed very unpretentious.

After all, it's just an insult to your IQ, and there is a feeling that the volunteers are hooked.

When you think about it, this is really useful for reducing the workload of the police.

It is suggested that in the future, all the criminals should voluntarily turn themselves in instead of wasting police force.

There are many ways to surrender. You can surrender directly to the police station, or you can use the Internet to surrender efficiently at home.

It's quick and easy, and it won't take you long at all.

I believe that in this way, with everyone's cooperation, New York will soon become a miraculous city with a 100% surrender rate and even a zero crime rate.

At that time, people will no longer worry about going out in danger.

It can be seen that the temptation of this program is too great.

It must be vigorously promoted and focused on.

Fight to make New York great again sooner rather than later.

"Do you know? I suddenly remembered something." He Nan couldn't help laughing, and said to Xue Li like this.

"Tell me, don't be secretive." Shirley replied.

"This thing reminds me of the technology that has appeared in some science fiction works." He Nan explained: "It is the ability to assess someone's potential crime probability. I am thinking, if this technology really appears and is used by the police, what will happen? what happened?"

"Then protests and demonstrations will erupt immediately." Shirley shook her head: "This kind of thing is too unreliable. Once this kind of thing is adopted, it will inevitably lead them to take direct action against those who have a high potential crime probability." Acts such as arrests or intensive surveillance are serious violations of human rights."

"Yes, I also agree with this. And this is based on the premise that the number judged by this thing is credible enough. But, what if it is not credible? In other words, this number can even be adjusted at will by being hacked What about it? This is terrible and will cause social chaos."

He Nan snorted, and then continued: "In short, it is possible to judge that some people have criminal tendencies, but we cannot directly label them as potential criminals at the social level and treat them differently based on this. After all, the psychological state may be at any time changed. In addition, there is a very critical issue..."

"What's the problem?" Shirley asked, glancing at him.

"Well. I just want to say that maybe the system's control over their mental state is correct, but we can't just think that they will definitely commit a crime and take any action. I think this is a big taboo. It's not just about the presumption of innocence , and it also involves this kind of situation-he originally recovered after a while, but you took action against him, which caused him to overreact, so that he behaved like a criminal, and was even judged to be about to Committing a crime... If the police shot him dead out of 'precautionary considerations', where do you think this person should go?"

"Well, there will be problems in this area." Shirley was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Obviously, at that point, the substantial infringement on the accused has already occurred. And before that step happened, he I don’t know how many times I have been misunderstood.”

"Maybe it's these surveillances and doubts that made his mental state, which was not too healthy, worsen step by step." He Nan suggested, "This situation, how should I put it...it seems like the self-fulfillment of prophecy."

"Oh." Xue Li smiled knowingly when she heard him make such a statement: "I really feel that way."

What does the so-called self-fulfilling prophecy mean?
This is somewhat different from another concept of "self-fulfilling prophecy".

Self-fulfilling prophecy means that because you believe in a certain prophecy related to you, all your actions are consciously or unconsciously moving towards the direction that will most make this prophecy come true.

For example, prophesy to a child that you will be admitted to University A in the future, and people around you keep saying that you are predicted to be admitted to University A.

Then he may subtly pay attention to University A and understand its scores, majors, etc.

This shows that a person's information environment will affect decision-making.And then produce more far-reaching, and even life-affecting decisions.

Of course, your prediction cannot be without clear goals. For example, if you tell your child that you can earn 1000 billion in the future, it is meaningless to not mention any earning methods.

Nor should it be too difficult.

The figure of 1000 billion itself is almost impossible to achieve.So prophecy is meaningless.

In fact, any prophecy that is too utilitarian is invalid.This is also true of replacing the above A university with some top universities with extremely high scores.

You have to mention things that are not so utilitarian and can be done through hard work and interest.

As for the self-fulfilling nature of prophecy?

This is another meaning.

For example.

Zhang San and Li Si are neighbors.

One day, Zhang San heard a prophecy that he would be killed by Li Si next year.

So, Zhang Sanxin thought it was true and kept it in his heart.

After that, he tried to get Li Si to move away, because he felt that he would not be killed by Li Si if he didn't see Li Si in the future.

What Zhang San did was to keep harassing Li Si, throwing feces on his door and so on.

Li Si never moved away, and Zhang San's harassment never stopped.

Finally, in the second year, Li Si killed Zhang San in a fit of anger because he could not bear the harassment.

In this case, it was Zhang San's own harassment that brought about the fulfillment of the prophecy.

So, if the prophecy is true and is bound to come true, what else might it be?

It may be that Zhang San didn't do anything to Li Si all the time, but Li Si accidentally drove Zhang San to death in the second year.

There are various other possibilities.

For example, Zhang San succeeded in getting Li Si to move away. As a result, Zhang San happened to pass by Li Si's house the next year when he was traveling far away. As a result, Li Si didn't see him while driving and accidentally ran over him to death.

Also, for example, in the second year, Zhang San decided to kill Li Si first to prevent future troubles, but Li Si counter-killed him.

Anyway, it was all kinds of situations where Li Si killed him.

It can be said that it is very hopeless, this person has become your god of death and a lingering nightmare.

All in all, everything you do to avoid the occurrence of the prophecy is to help the prophecy come true in another form.

Maybe if you don't do these things to avoid the prophecy, you'll be fine.

Or maybe, you are going to die no matter what.

So it is really uncomfortable to be entangled in this kind of prophecy of mortality.

Can't find a solution at all.
