"Professor Carey Di Bubaj's emphasis on equality is a beautiful vision, but it lacks a realistic foundation, especially for an era that might see severe power imbalances in the future."
Status is a byproduct of power.
Just like the status of capitalists comes from the means of production they control, the status of politicians is backed by the military might they can command, and the status of workers and farmers comes from their sheer numbers and productivity.
Unlike other interest groups that naturally have a tendency to band together, scattered producers need organizational strength to gain the status they deserve.
If they lack organizational strength and cannot even unite, then workers and farmers, as an interest group lacking combat power, will become objects trampled upon by other interest groups.
Some interest groups will even 'reward' a portion of their power and benefits to suppress the development of other interest groups, vertically dividing society, exacerbating internal conflicts, making them 'fight among themselves,' and destroying the possibility of their organizational strength growing.
These fundamental principles are the same in the wizarding world.
To ask dragons and ants to talk about equality is simply a joke.
"I believe that if we want the future era's changes to pass more smoothly, we should strengthen 'understanding' and let wizards realize that there isn't much difference between Muggles and wizards. Muggles also possess power, and they have the potential to become stronger."
"We were born from the same 'root' as compatriots. With the advancement of technology, the mystery of 'why wizards can become wizards' has been solved, and everyone will eventually return to being the same ethnicity."
As the ancient poem says, "Boiling beans with beanstalks, the beans weep in the cauldron; born of the same root, why are you so eager to harm each other?"
Hearing this, Dumbledore couldn't help but ponder, "Return to being the same ethnicity..."
At some point, the human race was divided into two branches, Muggles and wizards, and now, the dawn of their reunification has appeared.
It's not hard to imagine that the path to integration will be fraught with twists and turns. If we prepare for the future with active integration as the prerequisite, rather than passive acceptance...
Dumbledore's thoughts on the teaching content of Muggle Studies began to shift in a new direction.
The two continued to chat for a while longer until the sky grew late, and then they stopped.
"I understand. Thank you for your valuable reference opinions."
...
After the last long discussion about whether to reform Muggle Studies and change it from an elective to a mandatory course, Roger no longer paid attention to public opinion or matters related to Muggle Studies.
Dumbledore was the Headmaster. Providing some insights was enough; how the matter would be handled was up to him, and Roger didn't need to overstep.
He figured that a decision would be made soon.
Roger then devoted his time to researching the Second Reality project.
Although the Three-Dimensional Theory was complete enough to be released to the public.
However, the current social climate was clearly not the time to announce it. The Cold War had ended just a few months ago, and even wizarding society was in turmoil. Releasing such a significant concept to humanity now might cause their already strained nerves to snap.
It would be best to give everyone some time to relax.
Furthermore, it would be better for him to become stronger before promoting it.
Once the Three-Dimensional Theory was released, wizards would revise their new spells. For wizards like Dumbledore, who had accumulated profound knowledge, there would definitely be a period of rapid realization of their potential.
His current strength was considerable, enough to contend with Dumbledore before he encountered Dimensional Magic.
However, fighting Dumbledore, who had become even stronger, was still a bit of a stretch.
To put it metaphorically, Roger had deduced a path from a low-level martial arts world to a high-level martial arts world. The path existed, but it required gradual progress step by step. Dumbledore, on the other hand, was like an elderly Zhang Sanfeng suddenly being exposed to cultivation.
Naturally, the latter's speed would be much more rapid in the initial stages.
There were still some individuals like Dumbledore in the wizarding world. If Nicolas Flamel, who had lived for 600 years, started learning Dimensional Magic, the results would undoubtedly be even better.
To avoid being suppressed during the realization period and ending up as a mere technical laborer, Roger definitely had to wait until his own strength reached the next stage and he had the ability to protect himself.
Roger could trust Dumbledore's character, but when it came to others, Roger had his doubts.
In any case, his premonition of danger had sent out faint alarms, and Roger trusted his own abilities.
"Alas, I'm still too weak. I wonder when I'll have the strength to defeat the entire world single-handedly and get past this weak phase," Roger sighed sincerely, holding the newly processed 'Second Reality client.'
Since progress in the path of magic was stalled for the moment, he could only pick up the research on the path to immortality, which he had set aside for some time.
These initial versions of the Second Reality clients looked like metal headbands.
As his ideas began to materialize, Roger found that he had many problems to solve.
First was the issue of 'networking.' Roger's magic could only create a small local area network. The current version couldn't even connect globally, let alone within the same city.
It could only connect within the range of a single building, much like an arcade.
To solve this problem, Roger believed he needed to conduct some research on the collective unconscious.
Additionally, as a virtual reality project initially designed as a 'game,' Roger encountered problems when constructing the virtual world.
Simply put, Roger lacked the 'mimetic personality' technology tree, making it impossible to create sufficiently agile NPCs.
He could only create idiotic NPCs with responses like, "The road ahead will be explored later," or "You must be the renowned hero! My toilet is clogged, would you be willing to help me unclog it?" Players might tolerate such NPCs on a computer, but in virtual reality... it was too jarring.
Therefore, Roger's virtual reality could only support PVP gameplay like battle royales and duels, or low-interaction content similar to Tetris.
It was a complete waste of such excellent virtual reality technology.
There were many similar challenges.
The initial demand for thought acceleration has been basically, preliminarily perfected.
Under Roger's initial device, a normal, healthy player could activate seven-times-speed thinking for 12 real-world hours with no side effects.
This means a person's day could go from 24 hours to 96 hours; one day would be equivalent to four days in the past.
Rubbing the first-generation device with his finger, Roger felt that although it still had many areas that weren't perfect, it met the basic requirements for pilot operation.
He should take it to Dumbledore to see.
No sooner said than done.
Roger quickly appeared at the door of the Hogwarts Headmaster's office and knocked.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, would you like to play a duel with me in the virtual world?" Roger asked with a smile.
