Chapter 878 Master and Slave
Professor Moriarty's remarks were just a general analysis of the potential of various "Holy Seals", and did not mean to target Joan.
But every word seemed to be spoken in Joan's heart, which made him greatly deepen his understanding of his own strange blood and the "seal of strange eyes".
Now that Ms. Betty has set an example and successfully developed the magical potential of the "Different Eye Seal", it stands to reason that Joan can also try to develop his own "Different Eye Seal", following what Ms. Betty helped him find out. The road of bloodline evolution, continue to explore.
However, he was very worried that the development of his own strange blood would cause the "Different Eye Seal" to lose control and become difficult to conceal, thus revealing his identity.
In case the fact that he has the "Different Eye Sacred Seal" reaches Ms. Betty's ears, or is known to other members of the "Brotherhood of Our Lady", trouble will be serious.
After some inner struggles, Joan finally decided to stick to the principle of "safety first".
No matter how great the potential of the "Different Eye Seal" is, I should not take the initiative to change it, lest it will lead to unmanageable consequences.
"Joan, you seem to be very interested in the 'Brotherhood of Our Lady'. If you want to join this church, I will talk to Betty and ask her to be your referrer."
"No no! Teacher, I didn't mean that!"
Joan quickly shook his head and joined the "Brotherhood of Our Lady". Isn't that the same as "meat buns beat dogs"?
He is not tired of living yet!
"Teacher, I'm just curious about the 'Holy Seal', I have no other ideas!"
After listening to Joan's explanation, Professor Moriarty had a suspicious look in his eyes.
"I know you well as a student. If you are curious about one thing, you will definitely try to study it in depth. As far as the 'Holy Seal' is concerned, joining the 'Brotherhood of Our Lady' will undoubtedly provide you with the best Convenient research conditions."
The tutor's analysis made Qiao An irrefutable.
It was also inconvenient for him to explain his reasons for refusing to join the "Brotherhood of Our Lady", so he could only forcibly put aside this increasingly dangerous topic and change it to a safer one.
"Teacher, there is something I've always wanted to tell you, but it's hard to say it, for fear of making you angry."
"Oh? There's no need to be scruples between teachers and students. If you have something to say, just speak up. I promise not to get angry."
Qiao An observed the mentor's face with mixed feelings.
The good news is that the mentor was successfully distracted by the new topic he raised, and no longer persuaded him to join the "Brotherhood of Our Lady". What worries him is what he will say next, which is also very sensitive, and some even criticize the mentor disregard of academic ethics.
Joan hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke his mind under Professor Moriarty's encouraging eyes.
"Mentor... We are all human beings. I don't think it is appropriate to use live human compatriots to experiment with viruses without informing the other party of the details and obtaining the consent of the other party, right?"
Professor Moriarty laughed, picked up his pipe and pointed at him.
"I knew you would ask this question. The fact that you didn't say it until now surprised me."
"Joan, it's not very academically ethical to use humans to experiment with viruses, but I'm not randomly pulling people to experiment on the street."
"You see, in order to obtain a test subject, I worked tirelessly to come to Fort Dunning, and spent money in the market to buy legally sold slaves. My actions are beyond reproach."
Professor Moriarty shrugged, his face innocent.
"Teacher, what I mean is, even if the other party is a slave, it's not good to use it for experiments that may endanger life, right?" Joan blushed and said with some guilt, "Your approach is legal. Of course it is impeccable, but morally..."
"Joan, there has never been a 'moral norm', only 'regulated morality'."
"In my opinion, there are two kinds of morality in human society, one is the 'master's morality' and the other is the 'slave morality'."
"These two kinds of morality are measured by different standards."
"'Master Morality' puts behavior into the standards of 'good' and 'bad'."
"'Slave Morality' puts behavior into the categories of 'good' and 'evil'."
"I used slaves as experiments. You think this is a 'evil act' that violates morality, but in fact it is just a violation of 'slave morality'."
"If I measure my actions with 'master morality', the conclusion may not be the same."
Joan couldn't help interrupting the instructor's sophistry, and asked tit-for-tat: "Even if you measure it according to your so-called 'master morality', does it meet the 'good' standard to use slaves for virus experiments? I don't see it. What's so good about it!"
"My child, isn't the advantage obvious?"
The professor jumped up excitedly.
"Think about it, my good student, if I take fifty slaves as an experiment, even if I kill them all, as long as I can extract the medicine to prevent the smallpox virus from their bodies, tens of thousands of compatriots can be saved. !"
"Now let's do a simple arithmetic problem: save billions of people at the cost of killing fifty innocent people, would you do it?"
"I... I don't know." Joan was sweating coldly, feeling very upset.
"That's good! Take a step back, you don't have to do this cruel multiple-choice question that considers human nature and morality, then you can at least tell me, does this bring more harm or more benefit?"
Professor Moriarty stared at his students with burning eyes, not allowing the young man to escape.
On one side of the scale is killing fifty people, and on the other side is saving billions.
Compared with fifty human lives and hundreds of millions of human lives, which is more important?
Joan really couldn't say it, but the balance in his heart had tilted irrevocably.
"Joan, you have to admit that my actions conform to the standard of 'Master Morality'."
"In any case, I always save far more people than I kill, and the 'good utility' to society far outweighs the 'bad utility', and subtracting the two, the remaining net worth is 'good' Effectiveness' increases the total welfare of the society, which conforms to the definition of 'good' and conforms to the morality of the master!"
Professor Moriarty strode up to Joan, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, shook him vigorously, and instilled his beliefs into the students' minds with a fanatical tone.
"Joan, my good student, you must keep in mind!"
"We are the masters, we are the ones who surpass all others, we must not be reduced to slaves!"
"We only need to be responsible for the 'Master Morality' and must not be bound by the 'Slave Morality'!"
"Joan Vida, my student! You must establish a strong will to surpass the slave class, maintain your dignity as a master, never indulge your inner weakness, and never sympathize with slaves—even if that Being 'good' will eventually hurt yourself and drag you down into the abyss of mediocrity!"
