Chapter 2664: Three Strategies: Top, Middle and Bottom

Scientists are pioneers, explorers who are walking on the unknown road. No one knows what the future will be like, and no one knows whether the result is good or bad, so scientists cannot be blamed for causing serious consequences. The elf chief believes that he has the right of innocence. After all, science itself has no 100% reliable statement about cutting-edge technology.

In short, the riddlers have their own positions, ideas, and goals.

Only the leader's goal is related to human survival, but he has never thought about brainstorming. He just uses his ability to guide humans, not trusting humans. The leader with bottom-line thinking will never think that humans are trustworthy.

So the situation is very chaotic now, everyone has their own ulterior motives, and the shadow of war has not ended because of the hero's deterrence, but has been continuously pushed forward by the riddler's selfish interests.

The gears of war will bite to the angle of explosion at any time.

For these, the hero is anxious in his heart, but he doesn't know how to unify the interests and positions of various civilizations. This project is really too big and too difficult for the hero to solve.

How to make the world peaceful in a general adventure story? Basically, the heroes take risks in the territories of various races, solve the difficult problems for the locals, and finally win the love of the local races, so that they can use the power of various races at the last critical moment. Generally speaking, the demon king's men occupy various places, oppress different races, or capture important members of the race as hostages, or rob the race of vital treasures, or occupy their holy lands. Of course, there are also simple bullying of men and women.

As long as you have played RPG games, you basically know the plot. The hero originally lived a quiet and peaceful life, and then went through a series of adventures, liberated different races, obtained different teammates, and finally defeated the demon king and got the beauty.

However, the situation in this world is a little different, because the previous demon king and the previous hero reached a consensus that the evil god D is the final boss. So the demon king has not started a war for some time, and the demons themselves are weak and cannot cause trouble to the various races, so the various races do not need the heroes to help.

So now the heroes communicate through diplomatic means, but unfortunately the effect is not great, and the heroes cannot unite everyone with empty words.

There is no powerful enemy to fight, no common interests to maintain, and no core values ​​to support, so there is no way.

"Why not just use monotheism to promote unity." Duran said that if these people don't listen, it's better to use monotheism to make trouble.

Of course, it's just talk. After all, even monotheism needs soil. Christianity can't develop so fast without Rome.

Besides, all races are facing a crisis now, that is, the destruction of the world, but no one will care about this kind of thing before the world is really destroyed.

"The Wandering Earth" said it well. At the beginning, it was just a flood, an earthquake, and a plague. No one cared at all. Moreover, in the novel, even in the era of wandering, the earthlings still didn't believe that the sun would be destroyed until the helium flash crackled and slapped everyone's face. Until the sun was really finished, everyone knew to believe in science.

Before the destruction happened, no one would believe in destruction. Perhaps this is also the reason why the riddle man hides the truth, because even if they say it, there is no way to prove it, and they can't find a way to solve the destruction. So it's better not to announce the truth.

To unite, either there is a common enemy, or there are common interests, or use common values. Common values ​​are the best choice for unity.

Because if there is only a common enemy, there is also the principle of "the lips and teeth are cold and the teeth are dead". If the enemy is eliminated, will it immediately turn its guns to attack the allies? At the same time, if the common enemy is not eliminated for a long time, the alliance will not be stable. Therefore, there will be different considerations when facing a common enemy. Whether the enemy is there or not, it is difficult to maintain long-term stability.

In terms of common interests, the strongest interest alliance in the history of the earth is ancient Rome. It can be said that it is open to all kinds of people. All kinds of ethnic groups can join in and get promoted through wars. However, there is a limit to expansion. When the limit is reached, everything will fall apart.

So common values ​​are still needed. Ancient Rome chose Christianity in the end, but at that time, the East and West Rome were already divided. The West Rome with Rome as the core was destroyed, and only the East Rome with Constantine as the core was left.

The core value of Christianity is original sin and redemption, that is, everyone is guilty, Jesus redeems, everyone is guilty, everyone is equal, Jesus redeems, everyone has Jesus as a scapegoat, as long as you believe in God, you don’t need to do other work, you can go to heaven very easily.

Now we can only start with these three things. The brave man naturally hopes to create a core value. In this way, no matter how many disturbances we endure, no matter how many ups and downs we experience, we will always be united.

The core values ​​must be simple first, because simplicity can be easily spread. If it is as complicated as advanced mathematics, fewer people will understand it. Second, it must not change. If the core values ​​can change, then it is not the core and cannot be passed down for a long time. Third, it must be correct, at least it can be described as correct. If it is not correct, why do people believe it? Even if they believe it, it can be easily overturned.

The hero is a person with aspirations, so Duran said that there are three choices, just like the three strategies of upper, middle and lower. The hero decisively chooses the best strategy, which is to create a core value.

Then there are two ways to package the core value. One is religious belief, which is very simple. After all, belief is believed because of the supernatural, but the supernatural story still talks about the things of human society. Package it and instill it into everyone's mind.

The other way is a bit more complicated, which is subtle. Through the continuous accumulation of experience, the social laws are extracted and output in reverse after abstraction. For example, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness are different from religion. These things are not created, but discovered and refined, and then reversely instilled. They have withstood the test of human society's experience. Whether you are a good person or a bad person, no matter what problems you face, you must have these qualities to succeed, so whether you are a good person or a bad person, you will accept this core value.

Although religion invented equality for all, although the concept is very good, it cannot stand the test. At most, it is conducive to missionary work. When preaching, it is very attractive to say that everyone is equal, but after entering, you still have to get through it step by step.

"So what do you want to promote now?" "Equality for all, benevolence, justice, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness, or freedom? I strongly do not recommend the last one." Duran said, because the core value of ancient Greece is freedom, so in the end ancient Greece was gone, while the first two core values ​​have always been strong.

Because the core value of freedom is too broad, when ancient Greece was still a slave city-state, it was okay for a small country with few people to shout for freedom, and it could also fight against invaders. But once you want to expand, freedom becomes a problem. You can't always build your own freedom on depriving others of their freedom? So freedom can only be used when maintaining the status quo, and never when you are actively making progress. Because maintaining the status quo naturally means not letting anyone interfere with me, and I can also not interfere with others. But when you are actively making progress, you have to communicate with all parties. If you are not free, or others are not free, it violates the third law of core values, "correctness", and it will not work.

Core values ​​should be simple, long-lasting, and correct. Freedom is very useful when maintaining the status quo and can inspire everyone's self-consciousness, but it is a stumbling block at other times.

Faced with the choice, the hero was conflicted. It was too difficult to establish core values ​​to unite everyone and then build a new planet. His brain was overloaded.
