Chapter 2759 Unity
It is not easy to educate this group of people. Because these guys are adults, their values have long been formed, and it is not easy to correct them.
And there are two pure enemies in it, namely Agni and Dema. The next course will definitely be very lively. Because these people have different levels, it is also a challenge for Duran.
First of all, we need to activate their enthusiasm for learning, change their laziness, and make them take action. So Duran set a strict schedule for these people, as well as a lot of physical training, to wash away all their freedom and laxity first, and then educate them seriously.
In fact, the education of Shinji Ikari also started with attitude. Chasing him with a jeep was to make him serious, because if he was not serious, he would die.
Only when you are serious can you really learn, otherwise what urgent motivation do you have to learn? Only those who really realize that they will die if they don't learn will take learning seriously.
Anyway, as far as Duran knows, there are very few people who can really get happiness from learning. For most people, learning is a painful and thankless process. Even for many people, learning is not necessary. Learning with this attitude is bound to be impossible to succeed. So Duran wants to let them know the consequences of not learning, so that they face death at any time, and only learning can save themselves.
After this period of torture, these people finally got serious.
Ikari Shinji looked thoughtful and seemed to understand something. He has basically completed his studies and has begun to take his life seriously. He realized that as long as he did his best, he could change the world and awaken more people outside the altar. Only when people outside the altar united could the altar be overthrown.
Officially starting education, Duran taught them how humans form alliances, how they circle the land in this way, and how people choose the most economical cost to deal with things when encountering things.
"First of all, we have to make sure of one thing. People are not equal. I think everyone who is doing this should have no objection." Duran said that this is a slave city-state, and these people would think that equality for everyone is a weird thing.
Everyone's expression was very subtle, and no one spoke up to agree. The high priest has a conscience, Dema's faith is shattered, Agni is down and out but will not admit that he is inferior to others, the female director agrees but she does not speak when others do not say anything, and the strange woman just waits for Duran to continue.
Conscience and education tell the high priest that people are actually the same, but they have to turn people into slaves in order to survive.
A great man once said that when we look at historical figures, we should not look at whether historical figures provide what modern society needs, but whether historical figures have something new compared to their predecessors.
In other words, historical figures cannot be compared with modern society, and historical figures cannot be required to propose solutions to current problems in the past. Instead, historical figures should be compared with historical figures before them. As long as a historical figure has made progress and innovation compared to their predecessors, the value of this historical figure should be affirmed.
When the author designs a world, it is also difficult not to bring in the social environment where the author is, and it is difficult not to inject the education he has received, so there will be so many people who think that everyone is equal in the doomsday. This is itself an unlikely thing, just the author's cognitive illusion.
In the environment of the doomsday, it is normal for people to be divided into different levels. Therefore, psychological tests such as the trolley problem and the cave mystery will not appear in the doomsday, because the premise of these problems is that everyone is equal. How can people be equal in the doomsday?
Therefore, many works of art have designed various exquisite backgrounds and plots, given various contradictions and conflicts, and explored the problem of human nature. In fact, it is to use modern thinking to consider the past and the future, so there will be a plot that makes readers' blood boil. Because these plots are in conflict with the equality of all people, it makes readers feel the cruelty and darkness of human nature.
But in fact, it is impossible for everyone to be equal in the social environment of the story, so there will be no dramatic conflicts that readers recognize. Everyone will take it for granted that sacrificing a few people to fulfill the majority is a matter of course, and there will be no test of human nature.
Readers require the protagonists in works of art to bring answers to real problems, which is more excessive than asking historical figures to give answers to real problems. Therefore, Duran does not require the people in front of him to be equal like people in the normal universe. First, let them understand the rules of the game in the doomsday, and then help them build a worldview little by little.
If they first think that everyone is equal, then they will naturally feel that the current world can no longer continue to develop. Equality for all is a beautiful vision that requires effort and sacrifice to achieve. It is not something that is natural and taken for granted. People are not born equal. People must awaken and design more clever rules of the game to achieve equality for all. So the first thing to do is to break their illusions.
"People are not equal, and you must be clear about this. Only when you realize this, you will have a goal. Don't regard equality for all as a lost Garden of Eden, nor as something that is born and already exists. Equality for all is the goal for which you study and strive hard. All your current ideas and cognitions are misplaced, so you must first establish a correct doomsday view and determine a goal to strive for, so that you can jump out of the dilemma of survival for survival and return to the right track of civilization development." Duran said that the so-called right track of civilization development is actually to design a game that allows more people to participate.
The ancient Greeks said that people whose parents are Greeks are Greeks, which is a wrong civilization development.
The ancient Romans said that people with freedom are people, people with families are men, and people with voting rights are citizens. They can be upgraded through war, which is a reasonable civilization development.
And the world for the public is a high-level civilization development.
In fact, in the final analysis, civilization has always distinguished who is their own people and who is not their own people. The concept of their own people that the ancient Greeks believed in was too closed, and in the end it was ruined. The scope of the Romans' own people was large, and at least there was a way to join through war. And the world is for the public means that anyone who accepts the concept of "the world is for the public" can join.
Another way to distinguish is the modern Western method, which is considered one country, two systems. For example, different states in the United States have different laws, so different citizens can live in different states. For example, abortion is legal in some states and illegal in some states. In this way, if an American who supports legal abortion is an insider in a legal state, he is not an insider in an illegal state. At the same time, it can be deduced that when the ratio is 51 to 49, 51 people are insiders, and 49 people are not insiders. In this way, insiders and non-insiders are constantly changing. An American may be an insider this year, but may not be an insider four years later. This method cleverly hides unfairness and inequality among people. It seems that everyone has the opportunity to become an insider, but in fact, only a part of them are always insiders, and the remaining group of people can be ignored.
The development of civilization depends on who is our own people, and the more people there are, the more potential for development the civilization has. So Duran is now going to teach everyone how to unite everyone, make more friends and fewer enemies. Only unity can end the doomsday.
