I know why you would think that but this how human society and human history were built It is a perfectly ordinary way of doing business even in the modern age If there are even two humans they will instinctually compete to come out on top With a hundred of us there will be a clear split between those with power and those without He operated the tablet to change the view It now showed the men and women of all ages laughing in delight as they viewed those 16
Those with power can do what they wish with those without and those without can only escape it by gaining power themselves
He returned the view to the girls again
At this point that form of power has become even more important to us than reproduction which is supposed to be the most important thing for a lifeform There are a lot of men and women who render themselves forever unable to have children in order to gain power He switched to a close up of the giant horse cock penetrating that one girl The size was clearly too much because there were signs of her vaginal walls having been sewn up a few times
Mutsuki’s face had already gone pale
Then the man tossed the tablet aside
But don’t worry This sort of society will soon come to an end
In another century or twoAlthough World War Three is probably coming before that so there might not be any humans left on earth by then
Wh-what do you mean
That second part had been accompanied by a cynical smile but the first part had been deadly serious
What I mean is simple Once we start prioritizing other things above reproduction the human race’s reproductive power has already begun to decline
But the human population is growing
In the developing nations The population continues to rise in developing nations where no one receives a proper education But in the developed nations where the education standards have passed a certain point the birth rate falls primarily among the intellectual class Reduced sperm levels ovum abnormalitieswell there are a variety of reasons but haven’t you heard that the higher someone’s IQ the harder it is for them to have children Japan even has an aphorism about the poor having many children Although the relevance of that relies on it actually being true that the stupid tend to end up poor
Mutsuki was not familiar with any actual data on the matter but he had heard about it before
It isn’t that unusual a thing when you look at all forms of life In fact mammals and even insects tend to fall victim to natural selection and fall in number when they grow too numerous Too much reproduction means less food and less genetic compatibility so it is avoided in the natural world Have you ever seen that documentary about mice jumping into a river to commit suicide when there are too many of them Human adrenal glands are the same as mouse ones so we share the same stress reactions It’s thought a population control hormone within humans is responsible for the decline in birth rates I don’t know what the DNA analysis says but we and Miss A’s FeTUS think this tendency is a chosen effect by the Fruit of Knowledge The further we develop our knowledge the more of a threat we see in relying on others so we begin to pursue only our own desires even if it means rejecting the chance to have children The Fruit of Knowledge
He had seen that term when researching in the library and heard it a few times outside of that
In the story of Adam and Eve eating that was what led them to be banished from paradise It could be seen as humanity’s Original Sin but
It is a theory as to how humanity developed intelligence far surpassing every other lifeform on earth It is the black box that separates humanity from the apes One theory says bipedal movement stimulated our brains another says it was a genetic abnormality and I quite like the theory that our brains were modified by Martians Regardless we have yet to find an answer to that question so we defer to the Bible and simply say it is because we ate the Fruit of Wisdom provided by god It sounded both realistic and fictional at the same time so his mind had trouble keeping up
But he kind of got the general idea They thought humanity had evolved by gaining knowledge but that evolution led to the depressing displays of depravity seen in this mansion
And the more people enjoyed these things the lower the birth rate would fall
The Fruit of Knowledge
It sounded like they were holding a scientific discussion but they ended up saying god was punishing humans for falling into such madness
Mutsuki was familiar with the angels who people viewed like gods the demons and FeTUS who fought using science so it was an oddly persuasive conclusion for him
The Fruit of Knowledge is inherited by one’s children It is untouched by mutations and it is not advanced or deteriorated by human genes but it does ripen And
The more it ripens the less you can have children
Exactly
That much he understood
Wh-what does this have to do with Adam Why does it mean humanity will be destroyed
