Chapter 2327 Disagreement
The young master found that the wizard was very good at smoothing things over, and he was simply a professional. The people and ghosts remained the same, and the curse was not lifted. His father worked hard all his life, but in the end, nothing seemed to have changed. This made people feel helpless, but the wizard must have his own ideas since he was so powerful, but is this result really good?
The young master didn't know the result, so after Duran left, he found his parents and told them the situation: "Father, the wizard wants to keep the status quo, so is everything we have worked for worth it?"
"What do you think?" The master already knew that his death was approaching, and the future belonged to his son, and these things needed his son to think about them himself.
"Father, I always feel something is wrong. We try hard to eliminate all ghosts. But the wizard told us that the existence of ghosts is necessary and plays a supervisory role. But is it really so? At least in the past thousand years, the role of ghosts has not been so obvious. Ghosts have not interfered with the course of history and are rarely recorded in history. So I think it is unrealistic for ghosts to supervise people, because the existence of ghosts is secretive. Most people have never seen ghosts, so they naturally don't believe in ghosts, let alone fear ghosts and self-discipline. On the other hand, if ghosts really play a supervisory role, everyone must know about ghosts. In that case, the contradiction between people and ghosts will be more intense than it is now." The young master is worthy of being Duran's student, and he has received advanced Western education, so his thinking is very open, and he quickly thought of the problem: "So the human-ghost problem that the wizard said is too ideal."
"So what do you think?"
"I want to invent a potion that turns ghosts into humans. With the medicine, even if there are no ghost hunters, the ghost problem can be solved." The young master has his own ideas.
"Since you have decided, then do it. We support you." Seeing that his young child has the idea of being the master, he is very proud as a father.
Duran found that the young master had his own ideas and did not agree with his "supervision theory", so he just smiled.
Jiguo Yuanyi said: "What the young master said is right. In the past thousand years, evil spirits have been committing crimes, but people have not developed in a good way. Instead, they have become worse and worse, and people's hearts are no longer the same."
"It's not getting worse and worse. To be precise, society is becoming more and more complex. This is related to the development of productivity. New productivity requires new production relations."
"But Master, don't you often say that human history is a history of constantly breaking through the lower limit? Don't you also agree that people are getting worse and worse?" Jiguo Yuanyi has a good memory and remembers many of Duran's words.
"Uh." Duran said what he said to whoever he met, and what he said according to the atmosphere. He jumped back and forth. When facing bad people, he would remind them earnestly to believe in the kindness of human beings. When meeting good people, he would do everything possible to show the evil of human nature. Because human beings are diverse, Duran's jumping around like this doesn't feel out of place, because no matter what he says, it's right, as long as it fits the environment: "We have to look at it dialectically. From the perspective of personal values, it hasn't actually changed much. The reason why personal evil thoughts are sometimes magnified is because of technological progress. In the past, only a tribe could do evil, but now one person can do it. So do you think that people's hearts have changed?" "In the tribal era, people would kill captives from other tribes and cut out their hearts and lungs to offer sacrifices to the sky. This was a major event for the entire tribe. In modern society, with the development of technology, a serial killer can do what only a tribe in ancient times could do."
"..." Jiguo Yuanyi was silent. According to Duran's statement, it seems that nothing has changed. Tribes in ancient times liked to kill people to offer sacrifices to the sky, but this was indeed something that the entire tribe could do together, otherwise they would be captured by other tribes to offer sacrifices to the sky.
At that time, productivity was backward, so one person could not complete the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky. But after the development of productivity, one person can complete the work of several people.
So people's hearts have not changed, is it only productivity that has changed? Jiguo Yuanyi thought along the lines of Duran. Originally, all the tribe members were bad people. After the development of productivity, only one or two bad people were left. The others were just normal people. It was only because of the development of productivity that the result caused by one or two bad people was the same as the result caused by all the bad people.
"So, not only did people's hearts change, but they also became better? Only one or two bad people took on everything?" Jiguo Yuanyi felt a little confused. Because this conclusion is exactly the opposite of people's hearts not being the same as before.
"You are right. I said that society is becoming more and more complicated, right? Because good people are better and bad people are worse, the upper and lower limits are expanding, so it is becoming more and more complicated. And I was right to say that the history of human beings is a history of constantly breaking through the lower limit. The lower limit of individuals and groups is constantly sinking. With the blessing of productivity, their behavior is always surprising. So both statements are correct." Duran's mouth curled up with a proud arc. He could even make it up. He is indeed a genius in mouth cannon.
In summary, productivity increases the ability of bad people to do bad things, which makes society more complicated and makes bad people more unscrupulous.
After careful consideration and combining what he has seen and heard, Tsugukuni Yuichi has to admit that this conclusion makes sense: "Ghosts can also be explained as having gained productivity, so they do bad things that ordinary people can't do. Then why don't good people do good things after gaining productivity?"
"Because society is very complicated, a person doing good things may be good for him, but it may not be good for others. Productivity has created countless small circles in society, and everyone is self-centered. The standard for bad things is more unified than the standard for good things. For example, now you absolutely eliminate all ghosts, which is a good thing, but I think it is a good thing to keep ghost supervision. Don't you see that there is a conflict? We all have good intentions, but the means are completely different, and the way of thinking is different, so the standard of good things is also different."
Good things are only good things for some people, and bad things are bad things for everyone, so bad things are more conspicuous, and good things are not paid attention to.
Ji Guoyuanyi took a profound social philosophy class, and felt that the things in the world of the living were too complicated, and the three views of the underworld were more in line with himself.
"I've learned my lesson. I thought too simply before." Jiguo Yuanyi reflected deeply: "Now I think every decision is not easy. The decision of ghost supervision made by you, Master, must not be made casually. I believe you."
"Now ghosts have higher productivity, so it's okay to let ghosts supervise people. In the future, when human productivity exceeds that of ghosts, ghosts can retreat to the second line." Duran said: "Nezuko is a kind ghost. With such productivity, she will definitely do things that benefit society."
Jiguo Yuanyi nodded when he thought that Nezuko could replenish energy by sleeping and did not eat people: "Nezuko must be able to distinguish between good and evil, and help those weak and oppressed people provide productivity, so that they can complete revenge and serve as a warning."
"That's right, as long as the productivity of ghosts is stronger, revenge and warning can be achieved, which is the task of ghost supervision."
