American Comics: Silver Super, Mutant Academy Begins
Chapter 59 You are a human being, but you are no longer a human being
Xiao Wei'er's appearance surprised everyone, but she was quickly taken away by the nurse.
Although the injuries on her body have almost healed, she is still a little weak and cannot run around outside yet.
Looking at Chen Tian and others, Professor
Professor x is the principal and also a school teacher.
But he is very busy and only occasionally has time to teach everyone.
The content of the subject is not ordinary mathematics and physics, but some topics that guide students to establish correct views, which are simply about ideological and moral character.
In a room that is more like an office than a classroom, more than a dozen senior students are sitting in the audience.
On the stage, Professor
"Students, when a person has power that is superior to ordinary people, a little use of it will have a huge impact on the surroundings."
"Do you think this person will choose to use his abilities to promote the development of human society and become a hero to protect the weak?"
"Or will he be driven by desire and choose to rule society, dominate hundreds of millions of people, and even ultimately destroy the world for his own selfish interests?"
As he said that, the professor's eyes fell on Chen Tian behind the crowd, and he said gently: "We have to think about this problem, because that person is us."
"As those of us who have extraordinary power, we must be clear about the boundaries between when the ability is used correctly and when it is used incorrectly."
"And this limit is the morality in our hearts."
"When a powerful mutant has no moral restraint in his heart, is driven by desire, and uses his power indiscriminately, he will become a tyrant."
At this time, Colossus Cat raised his hand and said doubtfully: "But Professor, you once said that morality is a kind of social consciousness and does not have a clear standard."
"And we mutants are excluded from mainstream society. What are the morals we need to abide by?"
"That's a good question, what are the specific standards of morality?"
The professor smiled slightly: "In my opinion, the specific standard of morality is that there is no standard, and it will continue to change with the development of the times."
"If you want to find a specific standard, it is the law, because the law is the bottom line of morality, and morality is also an extension of the law."
“As long as you stay within the boundaries of the law, what you do still falls within the boundaries of morality.”
"If you violate the law, such as using your ability to steal, rob, or even kill and rob others of their property, these behaviors must have crossed the moral boundary."
"And this is why we are ostracized by mainstream society."
"Because the power we have allows us to easily avoid the law and do illegal things without being discovered or punished."
"And most ordinary people who have no power can only abide by the legal circle."
“Once you cross the circle, you will be crushed by the force called law.”
"Even the most powerful country in the world and the most powerful president are still bound by the law, but the degree of binding force is different."
One student raised his hand and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "Professor, but we mutants are obviously very strong, why do we still have to abide by the legal standards of ordinary people?"
Professor
"And we are just genetically awakened and gained great power, but we are still essentially 'human'."
"If you have the heart to regard ordinary people as slaves and inferior creatures."
"Then in the eyes of the stronger one, you will also be a slave and an inferior creature."
"That's what it means to kill a murderer, so we must stick to our moral bottom line and exercise self-restraint, because we are 'human beings'."
Professor x’s words made the students below think deeply.
At this time, Chen Tian raised his hand: "Professor, I once heard someone say that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I hope that people with power will take on more social responsibilities."
"But I think this sentence is wrong. Why do I need to take on more responsibilities because I am powerful?"
"After I have power, can't I choose to live a simpler and more ordinary life?"
Professor
"The correct statement should be that the greater the ability, the greater the rights, and then the greater the responsibilities."
"Once you have obtained rights, you should shoulder corresponding responsibilities. This is your gift to those who gave you rights, and it is an exchange of equal value."
"And when you choose not to have rights, there is no reason to take on responsibilities that are not yours."
At this point, Professor
"If one day, the world suffers a devastating disaster, those strong people who originally did not want to take responsibility must stand up."
"The purpose of standing up is not for any responsibility or for any ethnic group, but for myself."
"Because when the world is destroyed and the ethnic group is erased, then your existence as a 'human' will also be erased. You were a human at that time, and you are no longer a human."
"Just a lonely wanderer."
Professor x's class is more like an academic seminar. The atmosphere is relaxed, but the content is thought-provoking.
ps: Fourth update, there will be more later
