Chapter 365 The Fangs and Standing of Justice
Heaven·Unknowable Land.
Third Level: Beri'ah, this level of world is also called the "World of Creation", it marks the first transition from the infinite to the finite. In Belial, the infinite light of Eden begins to flow through specific [divine qualities].
Many facilities of the Ethics Committee are located in [Beria], and Xia Xiu will participate in the Monte Carlo incident trial as a corrector within the Ethics Committee today. I would like to explain here that the specific work of the corrector is Responsible for putting forward corrective opinions on various unreasonable behaviors within the Kingdom of Heaven and revising Eden's sometimes too inhumane mass extermination plan.
Well, Xia Xiu is not surprised at all that he can serve on the ethics committee. Every sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven will be assigned a committee position by Eden. After all, among other core institutions, the Ethics Committee is relatively weak. In order to maintain a relative balance of power among institutions, an angel with a special nature like the Sword Bearer will naturally serve on the committee as a bargaining chip.
At the same time, it is also the responsibility of the committee to monitor whether the sword holder loses control.
Xia Xiu’s spiritual projection stood in front of the door of Judgment Hall No. 13 in [Beria]. When he projected to the [Unknown Land] through spiritual sublimation, he felt the strong light outside the judgment hall. Feeling the abnormal distortion of perception, [Vashak] sent a wave of fluctuations from his body, which was the Time Demon's natural reaction to [Time Element].
The perception of time here is distorted by Eden. Here, as long as Eden wants, you can hold meetings for a month, while only one day has passed outside.
However, it is rare to have such a long meeting. If such a long meeting is held, most people's brains will explode. After all, Eden's distortion is not a true distortion of time. If it were to distort time, it would be too cost-effective for Eden, and the resources consumed would not be directly proportional to the return.
The essence of this distortion of time is a distortion of perception, which is similar to the smell of wool coming out of a sheep.
"You are Hugh Abraham. I am Robert Felden, the chairman of the Ethics Committee. I really want you to take time to attend the trial today. This should not delay your schedule. You are a very busy person now. [Wandman Newsletter] Several extraordinary newspapers and other national extraordinary media are reporting on your deeds."
Not long after Xia Xiu entered the trial hall, he saw a gentle and elegant man. The fifty-year-old gentleman walked toward him.
Robert Felden stood in front of Xia Xiu. He was of moderate height, and his age in his fifties had brought slight wrinkles and a hint of silver to his cheeks. His eyes are dark in color and surrounded by a circle of shallow wrinkles, proving the traces of time left on his face. The hair was mainly black, but with a few strands of white hair, neatly combed back.
Felden's figure is thin but well-proportioned. Wearing a crisp black suit, the buttons of the suit jacket were precisely buttoned, showing a rigorous image. The shirt is pure white with a neat collar, which contrasts sharply with the black tie. His shoes were also black, shiny and flawless, obviously well taken care of.
"It won't be delayed, President Felden. There are always so many things, and they won't immediately become less just because I stop." The blond young man smiled and stretched out his right hand to shake the gentleman's hand. For a moment.
"That's good, please come with me, and we'll talk as we walk."
Felden motioned for Xia Xiu to follow him, and then he led Xia Xiu towards the interior of the trial hall and this time's meeting. Walk in judgment.
“Due to the nature of the work of the Kingdom of Heaven itself and the usual way of doing things, many people think that it is not funny that the Kingdom of Heaven has an ethics committee. Or they just know about the existence of the committee, but think that we are just a bunch of waste And a laughing stock. A bunch of meaningless temporary workers who only stamp "agree" but never dare to speak out against it.
How many ethics committee members do you need to change a light bulb? ! The Ethics Committee can't change anything, they can't interfere with the Kingdom of Heaven.
Jokes like this appear on various extraordinary forums. They are always laughing at our various behaviors, such as today- —The committee recalled Hugh Abraham, the bringer of disaster, the Triple Crown, the regicide, and the fourth swordsman in the Kingdom of Heaven, who was busy performing Honkai management tasks and saving the world.
And the purpose of our recalling him is to have him come to a meeting to judge a prisoner he captured. And during the trial, we will most likely not execute the entity, and to some extent we will I agree with some of his ideas..."
Robert Felden, who was walking in front of the blond young man, pushed open the door of the courtroom in front of him. His face showed a little bit of embarrassment, as if he was I feel sorry for this.
“I’m really sorry, but it’s necessary. Heaven and angels protect humans from abnormalities and gods, and we protect heaven and angels from themselves. harmed. We judge what the Kingdom of Heaven should and should not do. We balance good with evil so that, generally and in the long run, evil is minimized. Even if it is cumbersome, even if it is pedantic, even if it is ridiculous, we have no choice in this regard... Yes, what a wonderful irony, isn't it. "
"So, just once, just once, we hope that the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven can experience our work. "
The door of the court was pushed open, and the deep eyes of the chairman of the Ethics Committee looked directly at the blond young man, and the golden eyes of the blond young man smiled:
"It should be so, it should be so, this is not ridiculous."
After saying that, Xia Xiu stepped into the court. This was his first time to participate in the ethics trial of the ethics committee.
Today, for the first time, he will feel one of the many issues faced by the core institution of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Ethics Committee: the ethics of morality and justice.
The interior of the courtroom was filled with a solemn and majestic atmosphere. A huge chandelier hung from the high ceiling, emitting soft yellow light and illuminating the entire courtroom. The walls are hung with light wallpaper and are surrounded by dark wood wainscoting with gold patterns. On one side of the wall panel, hang the national emblem, demonstrating the sanctity and majesty of the law.
This place is very similar to a court in this world, except that the person sitting on the bench is not a judge, but the incarnation of the heavenly think tank, Eden.
The light ball-like Eden floats on the judge's bench. This is of course not its true body, but just one of its countless vests.
There is only the defendant's seat here. At this time, there is a main prisoner standing on the seat. He is one of the main prisoners who planned the Monte Carlo anti-curtain movement and the former chief supervisor of the Monte Carlo financial regulatory agency: Francis · Delacroix.
Delacroix's hands were bound by a ball of light, but he was neatly dressed.
The reason why he was able to stand in the trial hall was because of his cognitive scan in Eden and In the ethical system test of the Ethics Committee, some of his actions did not violate the rules. His soul, the fundamental purpose of what he did, was indeed for the extraordinary independence of the Monte Carlo nation and people.
This is his view of justice.
[The ethics corrector is in place——]
[The secretary of the Kingdom of Heaven is in place——]
[The ethics committee is in place——]
[The ethics committee is officially online ! 】When Xia Xiu stood in his correction seat, Eden announced that this trial had begun.
"You..." Delacroix looked at the blond young man with a hint of horror. The sequelae of being infected by the elements made him feel as if he was seeing those indescribable things again when he looked at the blond young man. His stomach began to feel Cramping is an instinctive reaction caused by fear.
[Stress response detected, immune memu injection started——]
Delacroix only felt a pair of barbs sticking out from the light that bound him with his hands, accompanied by a slight As the pain continued, he felt the symptoms of fear begin to slowly subside.
"It seems that I have brought you a very bad experience." The blond young man smiled at Delacroix.
Delacroix, whose fear began to subside partially, raised his head and glanced at the trial court. His eyes swept across the gentle ball of light on the chair, and then the clerk of the Kingdom of Heaven who participated in the trial through virtual projection. Felden, a member of the committee responsible for the trial, finally laid his eyes on the blond young man in the correction position.
"It seems that the reason why I was not executed immediately is because of the ineffective core institution of the Kingdom of Heaven that we have always laughed at when we were students... However, I should not be let go so easily."
"Well, indeed, in fact, the administrative agencies of the Kingdom of Heaven are mainly the Resolution Assembly, the Ethics Committee, and the Records and Information Security Management Department fully managed by Eden; these three have the power of life and death to decide whether you live or die. , I actually don’t want you to ask meaningless questions about what gives the Kingdom of Heaven such power. From a crude and fundamental point of view, this question is because the Kingdom of Heaven has a bigger fist, so it means whatever it says. From a philosophical point of view, , is the basic power given to the Kingdom of Heaven by the fundamental characteristics of [human supremacy] in the world of extraordinary quantification - the Kingdom of Heaven has the basic power to act on behalf of the will of all mankind.”
Robert served as a committee member of this trial. ·Felden explained to the prisoner.
"So, what is this trial for? You are right about me who was arrested by you, and you already have all the right to explain..."
"No, No, it's different. You still don't understand ethics and the significance of this trial. If we were 100% correct, there would be no rebellion among the leadership at the resolution assembly, and we wouldn't be stupid enough to waste time with you here. No matter what, what we want is the root of the problem, the ethical issue based on justice." Feilden clapped his hands and said something that caught Delacroix a little off guard.
[Beep——]
[The clerk issued a yellow warning to the ethics committee. They think your words, deeds and rhetoric are slightly inappropriate——]
Felden straightened his clothes and acted as if nothing had happened. He seemed to be used to this kind of thing.
Xia Xiu, who was watching from the sidelines, was thinking: This old man is a bit cool.
"Now. Let's get back to the point, what do you think your crime is?"
"I don't think I'm guilty."
"Very good, this is the fundamental point of our discussion. You know, the Kingdom of Heaven has an abstract and conceptual recording habit of recording the "Pan-Heroic History of Humanity". Your behavior conforms to one of the behavioral rules to a certain extent."
"I thought that those who disobeyed the kingdom of heaven were unjust." Delacroix smiled with ridicule. smile.
"There are so many people who are disobedient to the Kingdom of Heaven. You think we are doing everything right. Do you know what is humane? What is right and wrong, what is abnormal and cruel? No one knows I will ask this kind of question every day until I retire.
I have seen too many similar things like yours. Most people didn't even have a chance to speak, because they were crushed on the spot. Your actions are dangerous on a general level, but your motivations are not. Moreover, we have made the mistake of standing in the shadows before."
The chairman of the Ethics Committee looked at Delacroix and said:
“Everyone has an inviolability based on justice. This inviolability cannot be exceeded even in the name of the overall interests of society. Justice therefore denies the justification of depriving others of their liberty in order to share in a greater good, and does not recognize that the greater good enjoyed by the many more than compensates for the sacrifices imposed on the few.”
"It is too abstract to say this. We assume justice in a utilitarian nature: in the overall human society, including transcendental beings, all people recognize certain behavioral norms as binding and make themselves Most of their actions follow them
And they follow them because for humanity as a whole they are cutting a big pie, and each of them prefers a larger share to a smaller one. Share. This creates a conflict of interests, and a series of principles are needed to guide the choice between various social arrangements for determining the distribution of interests, and to achieve a contract regarding the appropriate distribution of shares. The required principle is the principle of social justice. ”
“Redistribution of interests is a problem that humans will always face, and countless secondary problems, concepts of justice and principles of justice are derived from this problem.”
"This is the problem we face today with people, people, and society.
We have defined [fair justice] and customized principles of justice to maintain order. The most famous of them are two fundamental issues. Principles of justice:
Principles of equal freedom: These freedoms cannot be violated under any circumstances, including basic rights of speech, belief, assembly, property, etc., and in Terra, there are also extraordinary rights of independence, which This is one of the fundamental contradictions that the Kingdom of Heaven has to face: every human being has the right to obtain and defend his or her own justice, which is their personal concept of justice; the Kingdom of [Human Supremacy] represents the overall will of mankind and has the right to defend the curtain. Existence.
Then, comes the principle of equality of opportunity and difference:
Open opportunities must be open to everyone, including the extraordinary powers of the pedigree, which means that everyone should have equal access. Genealogy and Extraordinary Benefits
If inequality is allowed, it must be consistent with the long-term expected interests of all people, especially the least advantaged group, also known as the principle of maximizing the interests of the smallest group or the difference principle. "
"This is also the problem we have to face. In terms of equality of extraordinary opportunities, the Kingdom of Heaven and the Veil are undoubtedly unjust. This is also the reason why you criticize us. This is undeniable. However, before that, you seemed to often avoid the difference principle when you appealed to justice.
If the Kingdom of Heaven really opens its curtains, I am very curious about how you will deal with this problem. In a relatively egalitarian and widowed society, this principle may be used to justify the expansion of differences—— That is, if there is a difference in which the most disadvantaged person in the future will also bring the greatest benefit, why is this difference not allowed to exist?
The chairman of the ethics committee looked directly at the prisoner in front of him.
"Delacroix, justice, has fangs and a position."
