Where are our bodies headed?
＜Imagine the world in 13 years
In the year 2033, a new virus emerges one after another, starting with the new coronavirus pandemic of 13 years earlier. In addition to this, a series of large-scale natural disasters and environmental pollution caused by humans themselves will cause further damage and reduce the earth's population by half.
The remaining humans are most fearful of "death" and have driven numerous wild species, from mammals to bacteria, to extinction in the name of "extermination", choosing to live in a "completely controlled space" where they can live comfortably. The most noble of all, he argued, is to live "long lives" within the bare minimum number of activities, making unnecessary contact between people taboo.
＜The Restricted Body
The human body, which has drastically reduced opportunities to move around in the restricted life of minimum activities, has developed only the parts of the body necessary for "survival," and the other parts have become almost completely disabled. Is this the body of the future adapted to the environment in order to live, or is it the body of a human being who has been eliminated and survives?
In a "completely controlled space", the individual's physical activity data is measured and accumulated down to the smallest detail. Quantified physical data is an evaluation of a person's humanity and work, so people limit their own physical activity to improve the evaluation of the data.
＜The Ever-Expanding Life Span
Technological advances have continued to increase life expectancy, and control of other plants and animals has created an environment where humans can continue to live longer. The "human supremacy" by humans for humans continues to progress; even today, in 2020, humans have become far removed from animals as living beings compared to other animals.
