Chapter 773 The Source of the Wizard?

Yago couldn't help frowning. Although the crow's entire head was covered with feathers except for its beak, it didn't have eyebrows, but it didn't matter.

What caused it?

Isn't the difference between wizards and priests a natural development in this world, but caused by some event?

"No one is born knowing everything."

Atile looked at him and said with emotion:

"It's the same for wizards. You shouldn't have the idea that wizards are a group of people with knowledge, right?"

Yago didn't respond, just quietly waiting for her next sentence.

"Where do you think the knowledge of wizards comes from?"

"Knowledge comes from experience and lessons, or the original knowledge is a summary of experience, or experience itself is a kind of knowledge, the original knowledge."

"So, where do people who have no experience of this get this knowledge?"

church.

In this context, it is self-evident what the other party wants to say.

However, this is not inherently accurate.

Should come from the clergy.

Experience and lessons come from the ancestors.

The ancestors summed up the experience and lessons, summed up the knowledge, and then passed it down.

This is Yago, the conceptual model of the people of the Celestial Dynasty.

Because he is a priest, he has mastered knowledge and spread knowledge?

No, this is not correct.

At least, in his world, human civilization does not originate from any religion.

Before the emergence of animism, primitive people and even beasts would pass on to their offspring superficially the knowledge distilled largely from experience.

Panpsychism, polytheism, monotheism, these religions are just a process of history.

Animism, polytheism, monotheism?

Animism, monotheism?

Animism, ancestor worship?

Animism, ancestor worship, atheism?

Or did animism lead directly to atheism?

Yago prefers the penultimate one.

Emphasis on experience and lessons, empiricism is the characteristic of Chinese culture, and the development line from empiricism to positivism to objective materialism, and then to objective dialectical materialism all emphasizes experience, evidence, usefulness, conformity to reality, and objectivity .

People in the Celestial Dynasty often look at various religions from these perspectives.

If it exists and is confirmed, then admit it and study it.

If you can't confirm it, then doubt it, and don't affirm or deny it without conclusive evidence.

This kind of value judgment often runs through the lives of most Chinese people.

However, there are pros and cons to everything.

This kind of value judgment has a high error tolerance rate and will also reduce the failure rate. However.

A person's cognition is often limited by his knowledge.

Under this kind of value, if the level of knowledge is not enough, it will be restricted even more.

Based on his own experience and education, Yago subconsciously began to doubt Atile's words:

"You want to say that wizards get their knowledge from clergy? For knowledge, they—"

Conspiracy theorists are not uncommon in China.

Although the development line from empiricism to positivism to objective materialism and objective dialectical materialism is the mainstream in China, it does not mean that if one of these things is developed, the former will disappear.

One does not walk away from empiricism simply because one has a positivist viewpoint.

In the reality of the Celestial Dynasty, the emphasis on reality is often the emphasis on feasibility.

What works is often accepted, what doesn't work is rejected and denied.

Feasibility is valued as a result.

"As long as it works, it's possible."

Conspiracy theory, in the land of Chinese values, can be said to be a kind of argument that is very suitable for growth.

For empiricists, feasibility accounts for a large proportion.

For positivists, feasibility is complemented by evidence.

For objective dialectical materialism, the feasibility must be proved through practice.

Although the direction of research is various religions, folklore, and legends, Yago is very repulsive to conspiracy theories.

For things that cannot be confirmed, Yago will only put "to be proved" instead of arbitrarily biased speculation.

However, in this world where all kinds of memory evidence lacked authenticity and made all kinds of evidence unprovable, he had to revise his principles.

It can be said that the current him has already begun to take steps in the direction of conspiracy theories.

As for Yago's "guess" from her words, Atile just shrugged his shoulders, and the fullness under the robe would be hung up by the robe falling on his shoulders with his movements.

At this time, Yago didn't have any thoughts about the direction of an adult, and stared at her closely, waiting for an answer.

"There is no evidence, but most people in our society think so."

She smiled and said:

"Every time we explore the mirror world, we try to get some new clues, but unfortunately, not every time we succeed."

"At least, we haven't confirmed whether the 'god' in the mirror world is a wizard or a priest."

"Do you think it is important to us whether the wizard is the perpetrator or the victim?"

This question made Yago a little dazed.

Simple values ​​make him attach great importance to who is the victim and who is the perpetrator of the attack.

However, he is not one of the members of both parties.

He is the third party observed from the hereafter.

Be a spectator, not a participant.

Be a researcher, not a witness.

From this perspective, it is of course the most correct way to focus on those more important aspects than to study who is the perpetrator and the victim.

If he was really a blue blood, he would probably try to figure this out.

Unfortunately he is not, he is an outsider.

Moreover, he also has a problem engraved in the three views.

"Reasonable" and "reasonable" problems.

The former is reasonable, which is logical and "feasible", and it is "reasonable" to judge whether the logical chain is complete.

The latter is reasonable, which is in line with reason, in line with "correctness", and is "reasonable" for judging moral legitimacy.

One of the mistakes that Chinese people often make is also formed under the influence of empiricism and positivism. When the matter has nothing to do with them, they often combine the "reasonable" of logic with the "reasonable" of moral legitimacy——

To be logical is to be justified.

Although Yago noticed this problem, he couldn't change it.

Following the words of the other party, Yago also directly put aside the question of which side is the victim of the wizard or the priest:

"Is there any relationship between the wizard's knowledge and the previous mirror world?"

Although there was a lot of things in his mind, Yago didn't forget what he wanted to know.

"Knowledge, or cognition."

Atile opened his palm:

"The world in the book, the core there is knowledge and cognition."
