Tianyan's Shortcomings

Humanity stands at the crossroads of civilizational transition. A path leads to absolute order: no pain, no surprises, no unpredictable chaos. The Tianyan system has paved every brick on this road - it predicts everything, optimizes everything, and guides everything. The price is: you are no longer you. The other road leads to chaos: war, famine, nuclear leakage, dying of the meaningless pain of "escaping one" like Shen Jingyuan's son. But this path retains a possibility - you can choose that path when there is only an 8% chance of happiness. Lin Wantang's sister chose that path and died. Tian Yan said it wasn't worth it. But Tian Yan couldn't calculate the 8% weight. Is the fire of civilization calculable order or unpredictable freedom? If "being optimized" does make people "better," what's the argument against it? If freedom is something that most people don't want, is it still the ignition of civilization? "The Lost World" is not a novel about the future. It is a novel about the present - about how much "unpredictability" we are handing over to algorithms, about the "escaping oneness" we are losing.
