Genius Asylum: the Road to Mediocrity

Introduction to "The Genius Asylum: The Way of Mediocrity" In the future world, mankind receives the last words of an extinct civilization—wisdom itself triggers the Great Filter, and the exponential emergence of geniuses tears apart the social structure, ultimately causing the civilization to collapse under the weight of its own wisdom. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, humans have established "genius asylums" to eliminate all people with abnormal thinking from society, lock them in isolated facilities, and "calibrate" their sharp consciousness through collective collaborative thinking training. Quantum physics genius Lu Chen was sent to an asylum when he was twenty-three years old. He refused to accept "calibration" - a neural linking technology that integrates individual consciousness into the collective and smoothes the edges of thinking. After being forced to access the central tower for the first time, at the last moment when his consciousness dissipated, he heard a warning from his untamed depths: "Don't completely believe it." A banned book that was secretly delivered revealed cracks beneath the asylum's calm exterior. Among those softened geniuses, there are those who resist. Lu Chen decided to walk into the central tower again - not to be tamed, but to find the truth and the "solution" thought of by the civilization that was destroyed by the Great Filter at the last moment.
