Chapter 2255 Back and Forth
Facing Rick, Duran had the urge to take out the time machine and go back to teach young Rick a lesson. But this is too cheating, because Rick doesn't know how to use the time machine.
In the entire multiverse, there are very few people who study time machines, because the time-space paradox cannot be solved, and even Rick is incapable of doing this. He was almost destroyed by the problem of the timeline before. If it weren't for the mechanical deity, which let the super creatures of the Time and Space Administration interfere, Rick would have asked God.
Of course, Rick still thinks that he solved the problem himself, and the Time and Space Administration just picked up the leak.
The time-space paradox can easily cause big problems. The Time Administration is managed by a group of brain octopuses. They are located in the distant future and specialize in managing disordered timelines to protect the multiverse.
Rick doesn't dare to travel through time casually, because it is too dangerous and too uncontrollable. If you change it a little bit, the butterfly effect may destroy the whole world.
But if you can travel back to when Rick was young and teach him some lessons before he is so empty, it may be effective. But Duran didn't cheat, but decided to continue to fight wits and courage with Rick.
After dealing with the dog civilization, Rick went to the trouble of the escape royale civilization. He wanted to pry off Duran's base, so that Duran's ambition could not be realized. He wanted to prove that there is no life in the universe that will not degenerate and no life that will not go crazy.
For Rick, it is easy to influence them, just untie everyone's shackles. Without management, life is a beast.
If life is naturally self-disciplined, there is no need for religion and social relations, so as long as the social relations that everyone believes in are broken, then society will collapse.
But Rick obviously underestimated society. The reason why life becomes a society is to survive and to overcome the power of nature. So even if a social relationship is broken, a new social relationship will still be established due to the power of nature, because intelligent life knows that society is a necessary condition for survival and reproduction.
So Duran still has a chance. He wants people to believe that everyone is equal and establish a brand new social system.
Rick found Duran cleaning up the mess and felt that Duran was doing a thankless job. In his opinion, it was impossible for everyone to be equal. After all, people are born with different body shapes and different IQs. When they grow up, they are divided into hardworking and lazy. How can everyone be equal?
But the equality Duran mentioned was not material, but spiritual.
Rick was going to say that spiritual equality was still religion? In the end, he still said one thing and did another. He was equal on the surface, but not at all: "Equality for everyone can only be a means, not an end. In the final analysis, life is ultimately destroyed. Equality for everyone can slow down the speed of destruction, but it cannot solve the result of destruction in the end."
In Rick's opinion, Duran's proposal is meaningful and can solve the crisis, but solving the crisis requires means. After solving the crisis, everything will remain the same. The means will be discarded and will not become the ultimate goal pursued by people.
Rick is very smart. After knowing Duran's purpose, he learned to hit Duran's weak points. Dig out Duran's foundation and leave Duran with no place to stand.
In Rick's understanding, Duran is putting the cart before the horse. Duran's so-called 'equality for all' can be a tool, but it is definitely not the goal of life, because life is about pursuing differences and superiority. Unless everyone becomes a saint, Duran's efforts will definitely be in vain.
Duran doesn't need Rick to teach him. Doesn't he know the bad nature of life? He knows these situations better than Rick, but he has his own ideas. Even if he only regards equality for all as a tool, it at least shows that the public will look for this sustenance when they encounter a crisis, and rely on this sustenance to overcome the crisis. This means that the power that equality for all brings to life is infinite. It doesn't matter whether there is a purpose or not. After all, the universe has not yet reached the point of being set in stone. Duran has to stimulate the power of the universe being bound first.
Rick is right, but he underestimated the power of equality for all. The universe is still in dynamic motion, so all Duran has to do is to stimulate this power.
"It's good to have the power to change. The most feared thing is that there is no power to change. Even if it is just a tool in the end, it is a tool that can burst out infinite power." Duran said calmly.
Rick said that he would just do useless work.
Duran carried out a comprehensive transformation of the battle royale civilization, starting from the mind, to stimulate their potential.
The battle royale civilization was too primitive and too lazy. Snowball finally established some order, but was soon pushed down by Rick. Duran could only go on the field himself to transform them with the idea of equality for all and stimulate their power.
Equality for all is a great goal. Rick said it is impossible to achieve, but Duran thinks it is possible to achieve it. What is important is not to achieve this goal, but the power that erupts in the process of pursuing this goal. Duran wants to use this power to fight Rick.
If the goal is really achieved, there will be no power.
This power can affect the universe as long as it is guided out. Duran began to guide them, let them work hard, develop technology, strive to transform into an industrial civilization in a short time, and then conquer the universe.
Rick obviously didn't think that Duran and he were not the same kind of people. Rick would let go if he saw no results and would never do useless work. He believed that equality for all could not be achieved, so he would not try at all. But Duran believed that even if it could not be achieved, everyone could make progress in the process, and then they would definitely find a new result that was not inferior to equality for all.
The important thing is to work hard, not to be discouraged like Rick when they saw the situation. If life does not dare to take the first step, it is impossible to create possibilities.
Rick wanted to see Duran's joke, but he did not realize that Duran's tactics were to "build a plank road in the open and cross Chencang in secret". When Rick focused all his attention on himself, Jerry's influence on the earth was covering the whole family.
Jerry's understanding of his wife and his concern for his children have gradually changed his family's view of him. Morty and Xia Mo are willing to talk to their father, which is something that many parents cannot do. The ability to build a bridge of communication with rebellious children proves that Jerry's guidance works.
Jerry takes his children to see everywhere, opens their horizons, and lets them know that young people represent different futures, and they should make careful choices.
The world is big, don't make decisions because of your momentary impulse, don't be constrained by your vanity, and when choosing a lover, you can't just look at the appearance, but also the inner qualities.
Jerry influences his family and makes life more harmonious. Of course, Morty still has a crush on the goddess, but he will ask himself what he likes about the goddess. The process of asking himself will lead to thinking. If the final answer is that he really likes everything about the goddess, then he will launch a pursuit offensive and try to win the goddess, and the whole family will support him.
