Chapter 2981 Diversity
Under the will of the universe are the four legendary Ultramen. The four legendary Ultramen are to unite Ultraman and also to make the weak feel safe. Of course, no one can explain what the will of the universe is. Just say that the will of the universe represents kindness.
In fact, the will of the universe is not necessarily kind. For example, the universe in Ultraman Cosmos is an individual with clear grudges.
"Is it too theistic to have a cosmic consciousness?" Adad said that my fate is determined by me, not by God. Does it become theism to add a cosmic will?
"It doesn't matter. If there is a god, we can 'not deny or study', put aside disputes and develop together." Whether there is a god or not, in fact, it cannot be said that there is no god in this Ultraman universe. It just depends on how the god is defined.
"The will of the universe is the rule of the operation of the universe, which changes with the changes in time and space. It is not rigid, but shared by all things in the universe." Duran said that the will of the universe can also be interpreted as other things, not necessarily God.
On Earth, there is God in the West and beauty in the East. Compliance with God's teachings in exchange for the promised land flowing with the Year of the Ox and honey. Master the right to interpret beauty and lead everyone to a harmonious society.
Joining different altars has a goal.
Duran's altar must also have a goal, so build a comprehensive great god civilization that takes risks. Different species can progress together in this great god civilization.
"With flexible concepts and core interest goals, we have ideals. As for the practical part and the combination of theory and practice, we have done a good job before. Next, we can slowly promote it secretly, work hard to develop, and then create our own diverse culture around theory and practice, which will naturally attract people and allow everyone to gain their own place in different fields."
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, how can we determine our own place? For a long time, we looked at the "martial spirit". What is the martial spirit? In fact, it is the spirit of nobility. Because in ancient times, to maintain one's noble status, one must first have combat effectiveness, be able to drive a chariot, and be able to shoot arrows.
Later on, the martial spirit was gradually replaced, and the requirements for nobles changed from being able to fight to being "virtuous", that is, distribution.
The most direct manifestation of distribution in ancient times was the distribution of meat. Meat is a secondary food, and feed is a primary food. Eating more meat means that a large amount of grains such as soybeans and barley will become feed. Eating more meat means importing more grains, and maintaining good relations with other grain exporting countries.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, nobles were meat eaters, and sharing meat was a very important ceremony.
In the Han Dynasty, the situation changed again. There is a story that after the Han Dynasty fought with the Huns, some people found that the Huns' soldiers were very strong, so the Han people felt inferior and didn't understand. They didn't understand why the Huns were all tall and strong?
At this time, someone pointed out that it was because the Huns used majesty as the standard, so the warriors they selected were naturally strong men. But the Han Dynasty was different. The Han Dynasty pursued different things. There were martial artists and literary people. Therefore, the Han Dynasty had the benefits of all kinds of craftsmen, the strategies of military tactics, the beauty of literature, and the talents of virtuous people.
In the Han Dynasty, the standard for selecting talents was no longer just the "martial spirit" of the Spring and Autumn Period. By the Han Dynasty, the talent standard had changed. Because the Xiongnu were backward, they had a direct need for strong people, and their talent standard was strong and brave.
So if a country likes strong people and is always tough on the outside, then it can only be said that the country has difficult conditions and the first priority in talent selection is strong physique, rather than other standards such as talent, morality, wisdom, etc. All citizens also have a consensus that only strong people can lead them to survive, and other qualities are not the most important. This is the so-called national character.
National character is the preference of the entire nation, and different regions have different preferences. Some nations prefer strong people. The tougher the leader, the more they support. Some nations prefer to take advantage of small things, and the more cunning the leader, the better. There are also nations that are patient enough, no matter how humble the leader is, they can accept it...
Because experience tells them that in their land, only talents with such personalities can help them overcome difficulties. Talent is not the most important thing, because talent can also cause the country to collapse. Emperor Yang of Sui is a good example. For many countries, they don’t have much trial and error ability, and choosing the wrong talent may lead to a complete loss, so they tend to be conservative.
But diverse countries are different. For example, the Han Dynasty also had martial spirit, otherwise it would not have been able to attack the Xiongnu in the north. Moreover, the Han Dynasty had a large tolerance rate and could try out various talents of different styles.
It can be said that since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the trial and error of various talents has begun, and finally created the Han Dynasty's changeable system. And many small countries simply cannot try and make mistakes, so their system has always remained the same, and the direction of selecting talents has not changed, which is the so-called national character.
A great god civilization will definitely not be limited to force or wisdom, talent or morality, it must be all. The standard for selecting talents can be broader.
There can be moral role models, unparalleled wisdom, outstanding talents, and majestic and majestic...
Life is limited after all, and it is difficult to have a hexagonal talent with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor. Even Ultraman is divided into civil and military. The civil one is represented by Hikaru, and the military one is centered on the Space Guard. It can be seen that it is difficult for talents to be comprehensive, and there must be partiality.
In a country with a single national character, partial talents who cannot conform to the national character will be bullied and marginalized.
In a country with diverse national characters, partiality does not matter. As the saying goes, if you are not welcome here, you will find another place to stay. If you are not welcome everywhere, you will go to the Eighth Route Army. In a diverse country, there will always be a way of survival that suits you.
Of course, a diverse country is not all advantages, and there must be disadvantages. The disadvantage is that it is easy to be scattered. After all, everyone has their own choices, and no one can say that others are wrong. It is better to gather and part. Some people like to be wise but not good at force, some people are martial and hate to use their brains, some people like conspiracy theories, and some people like to stand on the moral high ground. Different paths do not make plans, and they will disperse when they say they will.
"So in general, countries with single national characters are different, and countries with diverse national characters are similar." Duran said that their goal is a diverse civilization of great gods, not a single civilization.
Adad and Cerro said that this is the case, not only on Earth, but also for aliens, which are also divided into single and diverse.
Different places have different national characters, and there will be different standards for selecting talents, which will show different temperaments. Because they have been living on this land, they know how to survive on this land and know what talents to choose.
Single national character does not mean that there are no talents of other styles, but these talents will be suppressed. They are talents, but they are not the talents needed by this land and this nation. So they will live a very depressed life.
Diverse national characters can accommodate different talents, so that talents have more ways out, and they will say that they are born to be useful, and they don't have to worry about being suppressed.
