Chapter 749: Stark's Traditional Arts
"Whether it's parental responsibility or men's behavior of raising their offspring, it's generally based on social recognition and the three views that have been shaped. For the whole society, if men don't raise their offspring, then most men can spend most of their energy on themselves, which cannot promote the progress of the whole society. This is why the matriarchal society replaced by the patriarchal society, because women must ensure that more combat-capable and labor-intensive men serve them. If they are superior, then men only need to be comfortable and don't care much about passing on the family line."
"So, Mr. Tony Stark, your so-called good intentions, whether from a sociological or biological point of view, are just to satisfy your own behavior. So for me personally, I don't want to be the next Tony Stark. After all, being me is the most important thing to me... Don't rush to oppose me, Mr. Tony Stark. If you think you are really strong enough to resist your own genes and hormones in your body, completely break away from them, and become a truly perfect person, how do you explain that I used hormones to easily make you confess, or do you think that your previous confession was the product of hormones, not what you thought in your heart, and you don't like Ms. Pepper?"
Although Li Ke's voice was full of the sunshine and childish tone of a teenager, to Tony Stark, it was as if he saw a monster.
"You think everything about human beings is controlled by hormones and genes?"
"That's a fact. Everything can be ultimately attributed to physics and chemistry. Even if it's an unrecognized social science, if you expand it to the macro level of the entire biota, or even reduce it to the micro level, it can still be explained by physics. As an outstanding scholar, you should understand this very well, right?"
Although this world has souls and the will to change the world, since they exist, these things are purely physical phenomena, caused by objective rules and natural phenomena. It does not mean that the world is idealistic just because there are magic and souls.
In an idealistic world, I cannot be the world. Since I am everyone, I have no right to challenge idealism.
But at least in this world, idealism does not exist.
There is only a messy sea of rules that looks like a ball of wool.
"I think you should have the same idea. Even if the soul really exists, it is a natural phenomenon. Even if God exists in this world, he is just a more powerful individual. Even if he is the creator of this race, he is definitely not an existence that cannot be resisted or surpassed, right?"
Li Ke looked at Tony Stark, who didn't know what to say. He let go of his hand that was holding Li Ke's collar, feeling it was ridiculous.
Because he felt that Li Ke was a nihilist.
Since I believe that the essence of life is just survival, any emotions and impulses, even love and family affection, can be explained and replicated by science.
And in a sense...
The other party is not wrong.
"Damn...you guy, what did that bring you?"
Tony Stark felt desperate.
Many people who study cutting-edge science often feel despair about the world and humanity because of this, because humans are really just sophisticated machines, and human emotions and values can be easily shaped and changed.
Science is so cold and so realistic.
Just like him, he also knew that he should solve his own problems, but the strong hormones made it impossible for him to continue suppressing his already overflowing love for Little Pepper, so when the hormones took effect, he made a passionate confession to Little Pepper, and by the time he came to his senses, he had even made an appointment online for his and Little Pepper's engagement dinner.
It was precisely because of this that he was so angry and embarrassed, because Li Ke did not respect his free will at all!
"You have to go to school, Rick, you have to experience youth. I won't say anything about making you the successor of Stark Group. You are yourself, but you have to experience the beauty of this world, Rick. Otherwise, I can't tolerate the existence of a scientific lunatic in this world."
Tony Stark did not give up. He looked at Li Ke very seriously.
"I know you are much better than me, and you can even make weapons and equipment that I need to try my best to catch up with, but you haven't gotten rid of your emotions. Either your skills are immature, or you are still enjoying emotions. And judging from the fact that you are very happy watching Tom and Jerry, you are the latter, and you are still enjoying emotions. So if you don't get in touch with the human world and let me see your need for this world, I..."
"Do you want to be my enemy?"
"No, but I will disgust you in various ways every day, Rick. You know my ability. Although I can only chase, an immortal cockroach is extremely annoying, isn't it? If you don't agree, I will proclaim that I am your adoptive father every day. How about that?"
Tony Stark finally realized what kind of monster he wanted to adopt.
A monster who completely sees through human morality and emotions, and does not care about them at all, walking around the world completely based on his own hobbies and pleasures.
If such a monster finds the world interesting, he will become the greatest leader and figure of mankind, but if he finds humans boring, only three situations will occur.
The first is that humans directly become props in his hands.
The second is the destruction of humanity.
The third one is that nothing happened and he left on his own.
But the third option is impossible, because he has already adopted the other party, he has been targeted by countless forces, and he cannot completely intercept them. As long as a little bit of the other party's talent is leaked, then humans will only have the first two outcomes.
He finally realized what he had done. If he had not said he wanted to adopt Li Ke, but just gave Li Ke a large sum of money and an identity, he would not have to face the situation of how to deal with Li Ke, this scientific monster, because in that case, Li Ke would only be called lucky, and no one would care about his talent at all.
And Li Ke's personality is very likely to make him ignore other humans, only choose things that he finds interesting from the human world, and then start a new life somewhere else.
It was he who made the sword of Damocles float above the heads of mankind.
It was his arrogance and conceit that led humanity toward the crisis of extinction.
But Li Ke did not accept his threat at all.
"If you do this, I will fly with your wife and daughter at your grave after you die and completely inherit your legacy."
Tony Stark: "..."
Now all he wants is to find a time machine and give that part of himself who wanted to adopt Rick, the freak of science fiction, a slap in the face.
