Chapter 2243 Binary Opposition

Rick has no idea how to decide his daughter's wishes, whether to let her go to the universe or stay at home.

It was a problem that could be solved with just one sentence, but he just couldn't. It is normal for a daughter to seek help from her father, but Rick is completely afraid to take on his daughter's future.

Rick felt like he needed alcohol to numb himself, because this kind of thing would remind him of unpleasant things, things he always wanted to forget.

Although Rick often extracts his memory seals, there are some things that he will never forget. Over time, what happened becomes unimportant, because loneliness has become his temperament.

Of course, Rick was not like this from the beginning. The watershed or turning point should be before and after he developed the space gun. Great technology will inevitably be coveted. Rick, an earthling with no background, suddenly masters cutting-edge technology, and of course he will be ill-intentioned by other civilizations.

It’s not clear what happened back then, but in short a lot of things happened. Rick's technology has actually caused various problems since then, and Beth did more things with her father's inventions when she was a child, showing her naughty side since she was a child.

It's okay for ordinary children to be naughty, but Beth has access to all kinds of black technology from her father. If she is naughty, it will lead to all kinds of tragedies.

For example, Beth Zengjin left her friend in the fairy tale space, and he has not come out yet, causing others to think that he was murdered.

Another example is Beth who likes to go around wreaking havoc with a real lightsaber, completely unaware that she might kill others.

As a child, Beth's behavior is of course understandable. After all, she is really just a child. On the contrary, Rick completely failed to fulfill his responsibilities of education and supervision. He focused on research and neglected the family. In the end tragedy happened and his wife and daughter died.

Just like "Steins Gate", Rick tried to change his destiny countless times, but ultimately failed. There was no way to bring his wife and daughter back except changing the universe.

Of course, no one knows whether the specific situation is like this or whether this memory is Rick's lie. But it's very possible that it's true. After all, although Rick used to be a tech nerd, his personality was not as wild as it is now. Without major changes, a person's personality cannot have such a huge change.

After major changes, values, worldview, and outlook on life will collapse and undergo a 180-degree reversal.

Rick may have left home to protect his family, but no matter what, he did miss a lot by leaving, and it made him even more afraid to help his daughter make any decisions.

"Actually, it's a good thing that your daughter still respects your opinion at such an old age." Dulan appeared, expressing his envy of Rick, because Dulan hadn't waited for his daughter to ask for help for a long time. His daughters were all on their own, but he, as a father, was Seems redundant.

"You don't understand!" Rick knew that Duran was not an ordinary person, but he still didn't think Duran could understand him.

"This is your mistake all along. You always think too highly of yourself, but you forget that in addition to making high-tech props, you also have the most important thing you can do, and that is companionship." Duran said Rick If he had the patience to explain the use of black technology to his family members and had the patience to accompany those family members who are looked down upon by him, everything would be different: "You are like a spoiled child, and the world revolves around you. Just like you now It seems that he values ​​his family very much, but he can’t control himself at all, and he doesn’t have the patience to spend more time with his family.”

Duran said Rick was too impatient.

"Patience? Companionship? Do you know how much inspiration I have in my mind every minute? The road to science is long. If I get distracted, it will be a huge loss." Rick said plausibly. There are mysterious phenomena in the universe that cannot be fully studied. , how could he stop? Only a mediocre person would stop, but he certainly wasn't.

"So your research is more important than your daughter?" Duran asked.

"Of course Beth is more important, but..." Rick actually ran out of excuses. If he really spent some time, he could really handle things properly, but in that case, would he still be him?

He is the Rickiest Rick, precisely because he always sticks to himself and never wavers for anyone. It's not that he doesn't care about his family, it's just that he feels that his family should know how to be satisfied and not be a constraint on him. After all, he is a genius, so he can't do anything wrong.

This is the conceit of a genius. He cares about his family, but this concern will become a shackles for the genius. But he cannot break the shackles, so he is full of contradictions.

As a genius who even goes to the toilet with a sense of ritual, his contradictions are not understandable to ordinary people.

Although Duran's persuasion is reasonable, it cannot shake the genius' stubbornness. Rick has been here for most of his life and has endured countless pains. Now he returns to his family not because he really needs a family, but at most. On the one hand, it's more because he needs Morty as a cover.

Duran could give up a lot for his family, but Rick obviously wouldn't agree.

"Dual opposition, although your thinking is genius, your logic is generally the binary opposition of the United States, that is, you can only choose one of the two, and you cannot choose a middle way." Duran said: "You don't have the way of thinking that things will turn into opposites when they reach the extreme, you only know opposition. In your eyes, family is a harbor and shackles, which are completely opposite, but are there really only these two choices? Do family members really hinder your genius inspiration? Do you have to abandon your family to give full play to your genius? This is not the case."

Dual opposition is the result of the Christian worldview of good and evil. The opposite of good is evil, and the opposite of evil is good. You must choose between hell and heaven, and there is no third choice.

But Duran's education is changeable. Good can turn into evil, and evil can also turn into good. There are good intentions to do bad things, and there are also unintentional planting willows and willows. There is also the saying that things will turn into opposites when they reach the extreme, so everything cannot be too extreme.

The Taoist principle is that things will turn to their opposites when they reach their extremes. Taoists like to persuade sentient beings through nature. Although they always think too highly of nature and give it too many artificial morals, at least they have indeed observed the phenomenon of the yin and yang changes and blending of nature, and extracted it, allowing future generations to walk out of extremes and think more about long-term goals.

Duran did not question Rick's strength, but he questioned Rick's ideology: "Although you think you are independent, your ideology cannot escape this country, so when you encounter many problems, you will only think of choosing one of the two, and think that the two results are still opposite. In fact, you should learn more about other ideas."

Rick didn't care. After all, he is a scientist, not a muddy one.

Unfortunately, the operation of human society is not carried out according to scientific formulas. Economics, psychology, relationship studies, behavioral studies, and other seemingly scientific things, if it comes down to it, are all metaphysics, because these disciplines cannot explain all social laws, but can only explain part of social content. No scientific model or theory can explain the entire human society.

Because the operation of human society does not rely on the gravitational field or the magnetic field, but on ever-changing emotions. In the process of dealing with the operation of society, scientists are really no better than those who try to smooth things over.
