The Leo Mark emitted a resolute golden glow. "I advocate an 'elite concept management system.' Only the wisest and most experienced beings are qualified to set standards for concept judgment."
"Look at these cases. They require profound analysis and understanding to reach the right conclusions. Ordinary people simply do not possess enough knowledge or wisdom to handle such complex issues."
"The capable should govern, and wisdom should lead. That is the only rational choice."
Lin Ye raised a third view. "All of you want to control the development of concepts through human intervention, but I believe that is the problem itself."
The light of freedom from the Sagittarius Mark flickered. "I propose an 'evolutionary concept adaptation system.' Let all concepts compete and evolve freely in a balanced environment, allowing natural selection to determine which ideas should be preserved."
"Human intervention often destroys nature's balance. The best approach is to create a fair competitive environment and let concepts decide their own fates."
The three philosophies began to clash fiercely.
"Democratic deliberation?" Leo challenged. "You want trillions of beings with different levels of intelligence to vote on complicated philosophical issues? The result would only be chaos."
"Elite rule?" Astria countered. "Who decides who qualifies as an elite? Once power is concentrated, it becomes corrupt. How many 'elites' in history ultimately became tyrants?"
"Natural competition?" The two questioned Lin Ye at the same time. "Powerful but dangerous concepts would overwhelm weaker but beneficial ideas. The law of the jungle is not justice."
The argument grew increasingly heated, while the Void Ark's core consciousness listened silently, a complicated light flashing in its eyes.
"Each of your philosophies has its merits," the old man finally said. "But I must present you with the ultimate challenge."
