Chapter 1038 If only I Were Also a Leader of Yinfeng (Small Chapter)

"My limit..."

Marquis Grant now understood what it meant to "want both". He wanted everything to be like little Komit and grow up naturally, and he also wanted his child to have the personality he wanted.

But this was impossible. Although there was no saying in Terra that one could tell a person's future from the age of three, Komit was obviously not the kind of "smart person" who was usually sharp and careful. He was the kind of cheerful and a little off-line child. If he didn't grow up crooked, he would probably be the kind of heroic big brother-like figure in the future - just like his grandfather Harrison Grant, who charged ahead and died quickly.

Such a personality cannot be said to be bad, but as the heir of the Marquis family and the disciple of Grand Duke Yinfeng, Komit must be more cautious, not to cause trouble to his teacher and family, and not to die casually.

But how could it be so simple?

Komit was destined not to grow naturally into the kind of "wise" person described by Ian... But if he was transformed, it would be equivalent to modifying Komit's nature, making him no longer himself...

Marquis Grant held his head and thought hard.

"Learning is to transform yourself."

Ian looked at his old superior in front of him, and he said lightly: "Encountering failure and changing because of pain is also to transform yourself."

"Even if he enters prison and realizes the truth one day, it is possible that a habitual criminal who has never changed his ways will abandon his past life and be reborn - or completely degenerate and become a great villain in history."

"These are all about transforming yourself, a reshaping of yourself."

"But no one thinks that this is a kind of brainwashing... You know, in school, in private school, under the guidance of teachers like me, the information bombardment a child experiences may not be much better than brainwashing."

"Just like the many schools and training camps I opened in Xiahui City, don't they rely on collectivism, repeated dogmas, and through the infection and resonance between people, brainwashing them into people who have a sense of belonging to the Silver Peak Territory, a sense of identity with me, and are willing to be loyal to me?"

"For ordinary people, what is the difference between these 'brainwashing' and my technology?"

"These can't be considered brainwashing..."

Looking up, Viscount Grant clearly Bai, these words are Ian's guidance to himself, so he thought seriously and tried to refute along the lines given by Ian: "These are all changes made by people after they 'choose' and 'experience' certain things, and they have some feelings and ideas."

"Even if you follow the trend and change your thinking mode according to the public's thinking, it can be regarded as a kind of subtle influence... Otherwise, if you have to say it in an extreme way, when you communicate with others, if you accept the other party's opinions, it is equivalent to being brainwashed by others!"

"Why not brainwashing?"

And Ian asked back: "When you communicate with someone, you directly agree with the other party's argument without thinking about it yourself-just because you like what this person says, or you like the appearance of the person who speaks-so easily agree with other people's words and opinions, without thinking about the deep meaning behind them, without thinking about the real origin, meaning and purpose behind all these remarks, you just agree directly."

"Then why can't we say that he was simply brainwashed by a sentence from others?"

Speaking so, Ian Yinfeng stood up.

The fifth-level strongman, the Edge of the Falling Sun, the Grand Duke of Silver Peak stood in front of Marquis Grant. The hot, yet all-encompassing dark aura swept around Marquis Grant, making him unable to even tremble for a moment, and the whole person was completely frozen on the sofa.

[If I give an order]

Ian's voice sounded again: [Then will you obey? ]

[If you obey, have you been brainwashed by me? Otherwise, why don't you raise other opinions? ]

[If you disobey, have you been brainwashed by other inexplicable things? Otherwise, why do you dare to disobey me who has the power of the fifth level? ]

Grant couldn't move.

At this moment, he felt that all the source psychic energy and even the ether in the surrounding time and space had been taken away, and the sublimation organs in his body could not even function, making him a useless person who had difficulty even moving - and if it were an ordinary person, it would be even worse, because they would even lose the remaining power of thinking and would completely become unconscious zombies.

Grant struggled to turn his head and look at his child, but he was surprised to find that little Komit didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He was still blinking his big blue eyes, looking at the 'teacher' who suddenly stood up and the 'father' who suddenly collapsed on the sofa.

Marquis Grant suddenly understood what Ian meant.

"I... understand."

Marquis Grant sighed: "Ian... you are more gentle than anyone else, and you are more eager than anyone else to let humans get real free will... But because of this, in your eyes, our current Terra, the entire Terra, I am afraid that no one can pursue their own freedom."

He slowly tried to sit up, gritted his teeth and said: "What exactly is the growth of one's own choice? I see... Then I understand."

"Ian, your technology does need a child like Komit to experiment, because only a child with a blank slate naturally needs to "learn"... and learning is an inevitable obligation for children living in human society. They must learn how to enter the adult world, learn various skills and thinking patterns, a kind of "brainwashing" in a loose sense."

"I understand. As long as it is not a compulsory indoctrination of personality, or a direct input of personality seeds, and does not require my child to think for himself and cannot change by himself, I agree."

"Well. Your approval is just one of the links."

Sitting back slowly, Ian did not intend to embarrass Marquis Grant. He just wanted to let the other party understand that when facing an absolutely powerful force, what the strong say is brainwashing the weak.

When a human begins to feel sad, painful, angry and disappointed for the words of another human, he becomes a slave of that person.

On the contrary, isn't joy and happiness the same?

The most fundamental difference is whether there are various emotions because of "this person's words", or because this person's behavior meets "my expectations" and shows various emotions.

The former is submission, and the latter is understanding.

When facing a strong person, even if you are forced to submit and go against your heart, you must understand why the other person's actions make you unacceptable and why you oppose the other person's actions, not just because "I have to oppose everything he says." Similarly, even if you are forced to submit, you must understand whether you are doing it to save your life, or for a greater goal, or because you respect and love the other person more than you approve of your own ideas, not just because the other person is strong and can kill you, so you submit.

Even if you submit for your life, you must think about why your actions are submission, not approval. The kind of "persistence" that cannot be changed even if it threatens your life is the real free will.

Only by thinking with "I" as the main focus can people understand themselves and then understand others. Otherwise, they cannot empathize and think in other people's shoes-because they don't even know what they are thinking, they are just slaves who submit to others.

"Komit, everything is centered on 'you'. What 'you want' is what belongs to you. And what I say 'you should' have is not what you really need."

Looking sideways at his students, Ian did not expect the child to understand his words: "In the future, I will assign you some tasks, you can complete them or not. If you complete them, there will be no reward, and if you don't complete them, there will be no punishment."

"But whether you are willing or not, you must explain to me 'your thoughts'. Why do you want to, why don't you want to, I hope you can understand the root of 'your thoughts'."

"Only in this way... can I build a set of 'moral algorithms' and a set of 'thinking models' with you as the core."

"Komit..."

Having said so, Ian smiled and stretched out his hand, pinched the face of the child who didn't understand but listened very seriously, and he whispered Said: "Although you don't understand it now."

"But a brand new society may start with your name."

"I... Although I don't understand what the teacher says, and I don't know what to do, I will work hard!"

At this moment, Komite also smiled: "Because the teacher is smiling very beautifully now, I also feel that the teacher is a very good person and takes good care of me. So I am willing to listen!"

"Haha." Ian couldn't help laughing, he touched the child's head: "Not bad, although it is still a little simple and shallow, but this is the 'reason' you are willing to listen to me, not just because I am your 'teacher'."

"Moreover, being willing to say the two words 'I don't understand' and 'I don't know' is one of the best virtues in the world, keep it well."

Want to be a scientist, want to be a big star, want to play games all day long, want to be a good person with wisdom and conscience.

These wishes are equivalent.

Whether it is noble or vulgar, yearning for the lofty, envy of wealth or desire for happiness, it is not a bad thing.

The only focus is how to persist and achieve.

If you can't stick to it, you can't be sure of your dream, and you can't go to the future you want... This is the most important "self-will" of human beings, the so-called virtue of "persistence".

This is the difference between Ian's technology and the education in school and the training in the training camp.

In the current Terra, you can refuse school, refuse training camp, give up everything, follow your own will, and choose the possibility of "bad failure" in the eyes of others. ,

At least, there is a possibility of regret.

But if it starts with Ian's technology, there is no possibility of regret - once the personality transformation begins, the transformed person will not have any idea of ​​"wanting to go back to the past".

"That's it."

Ian found that the most important thing about his plan of "artificial saint" is that he cannot put the condition of "persistence" into the thinking model.

The perseverance and persistence given by others are not real virtues, but a kind of numbness.

"Persistence" must be spontaneously persisted by people themselves. Whether it is to transform oneself or do anything, "persistence" comes from the most fundamental desire in the human heart and represents the root of "self-selection".

It’s like training, doing exercises and exercising forced by others. As long as there is no force from others, they will disappear immediately.

The same is true for the ‘work’ done for survival. As soon as there is money, they will give it up, instead of really wanting to do it and achieve their dreams.

In Ian’s previous life on Earth, work was something that could be done if you wanted to. It had nothing to do with survival, but only with self-recognition... No matter how difficult and painful it was, it was his own persistence.

The so-called ‘self-belief’ is the root of such an ‘absolute self’.

——As long as you can rely on yourself and achieve the sublimation of your own thinking and personality... Then, there will probably be no obstacles to advancing to the third energy level in the future.

——After all, this is how you reshape yourself, whether it is the body or the soul, it is the same, solid as gold... It is the foundation of future immortality.

——So that’s it, the door to the third energy level is here...

Ian knows very well that the current arcane path can already artificially create sublimators of the first and second energy levels... And now it seems that even the road that leads everyone to the third energy level has been gradually opened by him.

This is the ladder to further advance in the arcane path.

The exchange between Ian and Marquis Grant ended.

This time, Marquis Grant came here to send his children to Ian as students, and he was also a hostage delivered by the Grant family to Grand Duke Yinfeng.

As for the transformation of the South China Sea Labyrinth and various policies, Marquis Grant had no reason to refuse. He had already agreed to Ian's development plan. The specific details would be handled by specific departments, and they, the senior superiors, did not have to worry about it.

Next, Ian could focus more on another very important thing.

That is, the early publicity for Feiyandi.

At this point, Ian's plan to conquer the area under the jurisdiction of the Absalom bloodline has been put on the agenda, and naturally the entire territory has to operate for this.

It's not about force. In this era, no one will send troops to conquer others. The biggest responsibility of the armed forces is actually to maintain public order, rescue and disaster relief, and build local fortifications.

But when others were transforming the armed forces into local security forces, Ian established a brand new force.

Its name is the "Public Opinion Army".

This army will not do anything related to force. All they have to do is to use the resources of Silver Peak Territory to help the merchants of Silver Peak Territory and bring all the "good" parts of Silver Peak Territory to other people far away.

Coke, delicious food, convenient props... beautiful and good-looking clothes, durable and practical clothes... jeans, stockings, all kinds of designs with a new aesthetic (all copied from Earth)...

Silver Peak Territory will never hide any of its beauty.

On the contrary, it wants to show - show to everyone - its strength, beauty, all its glory and beauty.

In this era when civilians basically have no entertainment aesthetics, everything created by Silver Peak Territory is an absolute dimensionality reduction strike against any national power.

The public opinion army will not subvert any power, nor will it promote any rebellious ideas. They have only one goal.

That is, let everyone know everything about Silver Peak Territory.

Then...

Read Silver Peak Territory's novels.

Eat Silver Peak Territory's food.

Wear Silver Peak Territory's clothes.

Watch Silver Peak Territory's movies.

Play Silver Peak Territory's games.

Envy everything about Silver Peak Territory.

Then, plant a seed in their hearts.

"——If only I were also a leader of Yinfeng."

This is the real subtle mental attack... The yearning of human beings themselves is the most powerful brainwashing.

My health has been really bad recently, so I can only update slowly.

I dare not say how much I can write next month, I can only try my best to ensure that there will be updates every day, and I may also take leave, please forgive me...
