Chapter 222 - 222: 174: Humans Are Destined to Be
He knew his words were great, but people here were either fools or too clever for their own good.
So, Harrison Clark left empty-handed.
And he cursed them.
You fake fans.
You all took me as your spiritual leader, but now your faith in me is gone, fed to the dogs.
On his way back to his villa, he ran into Mr. Connor.
He didn’t know if it was a coincidence, or if the old man was lying in wait for him.
“See, I told you that you had no chance. Come to the Particle-related Project Team instead.”
The old man grinned wickedly.
Harrison Clark showed no emotion, refusing to put up with his noise.
Mr. Connor remained cheerful despite the cold reaction, “Are you really dead set on it?”
Harrison couldn’t hold back and replied, “Yes, I actually never had any expectations from the people of Science City anyway. If no one comes, I’ll just carry on by myself – it doesn’t matter.”
Mr. Connor sighed, “Alright, I have an idea for you. Want to hear it?”
“Go ahead.”
“What do you really think of the Intuition School?”
“It’s foolish and a waste of resources and lives.”
Mr. Connor laughed, “If your followers in the Intuition School knew that their spiritual leader feels this way about them, they would be heartbroken.”
Harrison scoffed proudly, “That’s the truth. I don’t believe others can replicate my success in drawing conclusions from intuitive extrapolations, let alone do it repeatedly.”
“So, you tried to lure some of your followers into your Particle-Related Project Team during the Intuition School lecture, to have them work for you?”
Harrison nodded, “Yes, it’s to have them do something useful for a change. After all, wasting resources is shameful. Talented individuals are important resources themselves.”
That struck a nerve with him.
He truly wanted to come clean and reveal the truth about his so-called “intuition”.
But he couldn’t. The truth was even more cryptic than intuition.
Others didn’t trust him enough, revealing too much of the truth would only lead to more despair and hurt humanity’s last-ditch efforts to fight for survival.
So, Harrison Clark had to tacitly accept the Intuition School’s ideology.
Here, he vaguely realized some flaws in the Everyone’s Republic system.
If the Intuition School were to be born within normal Human History, it would have a long-lasting poisonous influence, akin to the limitations imposed by religion on civilization.
None of Harrison’s previous timelines had these issues.
But this one did.
The reasons lie in the inherent disadvantages within the current timeline’s system.
Too much freedom and respect for individual will.
A lack of a powerful, wise, and farsighted leader.
The constraints society puts on individuals have gone from one extreme of strictness to another extreme of leniency.
With the birth of an organization like the Intuition School, no strong power was in place to correct this error and avoid waste.
The Intuition School was born because of him.
But even without him, similar scientific religions or other detrimental thoughts continued to emerge throughout several centuries.
Although humanity progressed, such ideologies undoubtedly hindered civilizational advancement.
Harrison even began to doubt if a perfect system truly existed for human civilization.
Theoretically, there might be only one possibility –
The birth of a selfless, brilliant, and passionate leader.
This leader must be a perfect person.
By controlling the direction of civilization and maintaining a balance between dictatorship and democracy, the great leader ought to achieve perfection.
And, this great leader must possess eternal life.
Even the greatest leaders cannot maintain control over the thought patterns of their successors after their death.
But that is not realistic.
The universal rules tell him that as carbon-based life forms, humans cannot attain eternal life.
After hearing Harrison’s words, Bernal Connor nodded in approval, “Yes, wasting resources is disgraceful. Before you came, many Science Department principals deeply resented the Intuition School.”
“But we couldn’t persuade them, because your achievements stand as evidence. You couldn’t convince them either for the same reason. However, I believe that this situation can still be changed.”
Harrison: “How can it be changed?”
“Only the one who tied the bell around the tiger’s neck can remove it. To turn them from useless people back into useful ones, only the spiritual leader, you, can do it.”
Harrison spread his hands, “But I’ve failed.”
Mr. Connor: “It’s because you used the wrong method; come with me, and I’ll explain it slowly.”
After a long time, Harrison’s eyes indeed grew brighter.
Age does not necessarily come with wisdom.
No wonder he was a seasoned veteran!
