Chapter 3908: The Battle Between Man and Monkey
Togusa was distressed, but Duran was calm, because all this was normal, cyberpunk was the norm in history, and there was no need to worry.
Even if there were sufferings, history would move forward.
Just when Togusa was distressed, two more thinking monsters appeared, one in human form and the other in monkey form, and the man and the monkey started fighting.
"You are so fickle, I'll beat you to death." The humanoid monster was three hundred meters tall and beat the monkey.
"You are so fickle, I'll beat you to death." The monkey was also three hundred meters tall, not to be outdone, and punched back.
When Lesson 9 arrived, humans and monkeys were already fighting each other. This battle took place in the deep mountains, the morning dew was wet, the fog was heavy, and the punches were like thunder.
The monsters swung their fists at each other in the clouds and mist, and each punch was earth-shaking, birds disappeared, and beasts fled.
"It should be four in the morning and three in the evening."
"It's just that you, the monkey, are greedy."
Bart of Lesson 9 asked, "What are they talking about?"
Togusa said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a story from Zhuangzi."
"Who is Zhuangzi?" Bart asked.
"Zhuang Zhou dreamed of being a butterfly. Zhuang Zhou is Zhuangzi. He was an ancient thinker, writer, and important member of Taoism. He left behind a book called Zhuangzi. There is a story in the book about a conversation between a monkey keeper and monkeys. The keeper said to the monkeys, "I'll give you three chestnuts in the morning and four chestnuts in the evening, okay?" The monkeys were not happy. Then the keeper said, "How about four chestnuts in the morning and three chestnuts in the evening?" The monkeys were very happy."
Bart said, "Isn't it the same seven? The monkeys are too stupid."
Togusa said, "Zhuangzi wrote this story to laugh at those short-sighted people who have no foresight."
Duran said, "It should be four in the morning and three in the evening."
Bart said, "There are What's the difference? Isn't it seven a day? Duran, sometimes you are very smart, but sometimes I think you are worse than a monkey. "
Durran said: "You are stupid. You are all members of Section 9 and have participated in wars. You should have seen things that are happy in the morning and crying in the evening. A prisoner is still talking nonsense in the morning and is arrested in the evening. A soldier is still looking at family photos in the morning and died in the evening. A victim is still working normally in the morning and lies in the morgue at night..."
Needless to say more, this kind of life experience of ups and downs and life and death separation in just a few hours from morning to night, the people of Section 9 have experienced it too much.
They have been on the battlefield, and the comrades who were still talking and laughing in the last second may become corpses in the next second. They have caught criminals, who were still living a life of luxury in the last second, and would be thrown into prison in the next second...
From six in the morning to six in the evening, twelve hours, it is not too much, but it is not too little, but no one can tell which will come first, the accident or the night.
"Monkeys in cages seem to be able to spend twelve hours safely, but if they are in the wild, they may encounter accidents at any time and anywhere. 4 am to 3 pm is more secure than 3 am to 4 pm." Duran said: "So 4 am to 3 pm is the wisdom of survival."
Everyone was speechless.
Duran continued: "Once 4 am to 3 pm, everyone will have to control more resources and grab more resources. The more resources, the safer and more secure they are. From landlords to ordinary people, everyone will grab resources. In this way, there will be fewer and fewer resources to solve social problems. The environment will become worse, the crime rate will increase, and there will be more accidents and dangers. In this way, it is even more necessary to control resources, further deteriorate the environment, and fall into a vicious circle."
Because of natural disasters and accidents, everyone has to control resources. When resources are controlled, social contradictions will intensify, triggering more man-made disasters and accidents, and it will be more dangerous...
It can be said that it is getting worse and worse.
Jiu Ke immediately thought that this is the island country at the moment, and understood why there are monkey breeders and monkey thinking monsters. The situation of the island country is already very bad.
"One side still wants to control resources, the other side wants to solve social problems, the two mindsets are in conflict, and so a mind monster appears." Bart also understood, but felt that this matter was not easy to solve.
"That's right. Four in the morning and three in the evening will win." Duran said.
"But four in the morning and three in the evening can't solve the problem." Togusa said.
Duran emphasized: "I have said it many times. Solving problems is not the landlords' task. Their task is to survive, to control more resources to build their own arks. When disaster comes, they can survive. As the saying goes, 'Misfortune picks on the unfortunate, and hemp ropes only break at the thinnest part'. The landlords' goal is not to be unfortunate, not to be the thinnest part of hemp ropes, not to solve misfortune. Don't ask too much of them."
"But if misfortune is not solved, the tragedy will not end." Tuo Gusa said angrily: "Only by changing one's mind in the morning and another in the evening can we gather chestnuts one by one and gather enough strength to fight against misfortune! Whether it is three in the morning and three in the evening, or three in the morning and another in the evening, the enemy is misfortune. Only when there is misfortune, everyone needs to fight for resources, and there will be confrontation."
"It's well said, but it's a pity that it has never been educated or publicized in this way. Even if a few people think so, there is no consensus among everyone, and it's useless. Everyone will only suspect that you are a liar, and you say these things to trick everyone out of their chestnuts. You can't make everyone believe you." Duran said.
"Is there really no way?"
"Of course there is a way. Do you know Dayu?"
"Yes, he was the ancient tribal leader of Dongda."
"Then do you know that Dayu passed by his home three times without entering, set rules, and dredged the river?"
A perfect post, content, read it in the 6-9 book forum!
"I know."
"That's right. Dayu tried his best to set a good example and manage the waterways of his tribe. Other tribes affected by floods would naturally ask Dayu to control the floods. They would pay tribute, and Dayu would help control the floods and finally dredge the river to the sea. Set a good example to fight against bad luck, find a specific bad luck, and hit hard. As long as you can defeat bad luck with your own strength, others will follow suit, or directly pay to hire you." Duran said: "The history of Dongda is like this. Find a specific bad luck, hit hard, solve it, and let everyone build a trusting relationship."
"But there is no such experience in the history of the island country. Instead, when encountering problems, betraying each other is commonplace. Just like politicians and businessmen betraying the Self-Defense Forces, and the tragedies of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. When someone wants to fight, they will be betrayed." Togusa was helpless, because the island country did not have a consensus of unity, but only competed for resources, controlled resources, and changed their minds.
To challenge bad luck, people who control resources need to face bad luck directly, or even defeat it. When people see bad luck, they will make demands, hoping to crush it.
To avoid bad luck, people who control resources will win as long as they survive. When people see bad luck, the first thing they think of is to pretend that they didn't see it. No one wants to contribute money and effort, and everyone will only buy time to build their own ark.
These are two completely different ideas.
As long as bad luck does not disappear, working hard will always be the mainstream, because only by controlling resources can we improve the tolerance rate, and only with tolerance rate can we better build a life-saving ark.
Of course, if bad luck is too big and exceeds the upper limit of personal resources, then there is no way, even the rich can only bear it.
In the worldview of cyberpunk, the rich have technology and higher tolerance rate. However, whether they can withstand natural disasters still needs to be tested.
There are big and small landlords, and there are high and low rich people. The amount of resources controlled by everyone is different, and the tolerance rate is different. Small landlords and small rich people can resist general bad luck, but if it is a big bad luck, when small landlords and small rich people can't resist it, everyone's dissatisfaction will erupt, and they will elect a tyrant to grab resources from other places.
When they are defeated by the big bad luck, they will not reflect, but will continue to grab resources and continue to be fickle, without the courage and spirit to defeat the bad luck.
The two monsters beat, the earth shook, and Jiu Ke fell into deep thought.
They hope to solve the problem, but the island country is the route to escape bad luck, not the idea of challenging bad luck, so it is their idea that is wrong, not the island country. In the island country, they should not cause trouble to others.
