Chapter 2960 Leisure Time (IV)
Chapter 2934 Leisure Time (IV)
"... In summary, when we face aliens, we cannot judge their likes and dislikes based on human facial expressions. Body language must also be considered. However, since the body shapes of some races are too different from those of humans, their body language for expressing emotions may also be very different from that of humans. So please turn to page 31 of the textbook and let me introduce the body language of several special races in the universe..."
Accompanied by the sound of flipping pages, Jason looked around. On his left sat a black man who didn't look very strong, far worse than him. There were no tattoos on his arms and neck that could be seen with the naked eye, and he didn't look like someone who had been in society.
On his right sat a little girl who looked younger than him, even a little thin. She wore round glasses and was writing furiously, as if she was copying yesterday's notes.
His sight was noticed by the black guy, who lowered his voice and said, "What are you doing? Turn the pages quickly."
"I'm just a little curious. Isn't this a spy training class? You don't look like you can be a spy."
"Don't you realize that you are the exception?" After putting on his glasses, the black guy said, "You look like you are doing field work. Did you transfer from the field work group?"
"Uh, what's the difference?"
"We train diplomats here." The black guy said, "In a while, the earth will send an inspection team to each of the three empires. Although it is a technical exchange, it also needs to collect intelligence. This is what we do."
The girl next to them also spoke up when she heard them talking: "I don't know what your teacher thinks. You can't get into the inspection team with your body shape. People will know you are an agent at a glance."
Jason was a little embarrassed. It turned out that this was a spy class, but isn't Captain America a superhero? Why is he teaching spies here?
Jason didn't have time to think about it. Captain America in front of him had already started to teach the course. Soon Jason was attracted by all kinds of strange races in the universe. Before he knew it, a class was over.
After class, the others left quickly. Captain America stood in front of the podium and called Jason over. He smiled at him and said, "How are you adapting?"
"It's okay. I think this course is very interesting, but I have a question. I absolutely don't mean to offend you, but why are you here to teach this course?"
"Why can't it be me?" Captain America was a little curious. Looking at Jason's eyes, he seemed to realize something. He smiled helplessly and said, "Here, superheroes are a part-time job for us. I have to have a job, right?"
"Are you all like this?" Jason asked curiously.
"Mostly, some kids who are still in school can spend more time being superheroes, but most adults who have left school have two identities."
"No, I mean, do they all work in the special agent group like you?" Jason paused, feeling that his question was a bit rude, so he added: "I mean this is a bit inconsistent with the image of Captain America that I heard about. I thought you would be a spiritual leader of mankind."
Captain America really thought about it before answering: "Personally, this job is not bad, the working hours are very regular, the salary is high, and I also enjoy various benefits for faculty and staff, free coffee and donuts, etc."
"In terms of the identity of Captain America, in the past war years, he was shaped by the US government as a symbol of the American spirit. The so-called American spirit, at least in that era, was patriotism, hard work, and creating a better future with one's own hands. I personally agree with this value, so I am willing to help the government promote it as Captain America. "
"However, during the years when I was sleeping on the seabed, some changes have taken place in this country. The US government obviously does not think that I, who represents the spirit of that era, can continue to be synonymous with the American spirit. They do not want to use me for propaganda, and even think that the existence of Captain America may interfere with the tendency of people's elections and allow conservatives to gain more benefits, so the image of Captain America naturally no longer appears in the media on a large scale. "
Jason listened very carefully, nodding as he listened. To some extent, Captain America is more complicated than anyone he knows, because he has spent two eras in a strange state.
During World War II, he was the most famous superhero and the greatest hero in the minds of the American people, but his glory came to an abrupt end. When he woke up again, the whole world was different.
It's not that Jason hasn't come into contact with immortals, but Captain America is different from them, because Captain America is leaping forward, he directly skipped one era and entered the next, infinitely close to traveling through the future, and the psychology of such people is very worthy of study.
"I don't think that the American spirit I promoted back then was a lie imposed on me by the US government. In that era, I myself and many of my companions really implemented that beautiful spirit. I don't think I was empty back then."
"Based on the facts, I also accept that this identity and the spirit it represents are no longer suitable for modern times, so I don't feel sad that the identity of Captain America has faded out of people's sight."
"Captain America's identity is no longer so dazzling, but I am still alive. I can't keep holding on to the past and indulge in the past glory. Instead, I should find new self-worth, so I accepted Nick's invitation to be in charge of Earth's diplomatic affairs, from which I have accumulated some experience and can pass on these experiences to young people."
"At present, I feel satisfied with everything I have done, but I think I can do better. The teaching task is only a phased task. After the further development of Earth's interstellar diplomacy, I think I will have more opportunities and can further establish my new career in this regard."
Jason felt that listening to Captain America was a real pleasure, but at the same time he was a little confused. Is Captain America a little too skilled? Why does it feel like he seems to be very good at explaining his psychology to others?
Captain America seemed to see what Jason was thinking. He smiled and said, "If you had done a psychological assessment once a week, you would have this ability."
"Once a week, isn't it too frequent?" Jason said, "This should not be in line with the professional code of conduct of psychologists, right?"
"Yes, but our doctor is a little special. Once he is free, he likes to do these things very much. Others will find it annoying, but I won't. I will try my best to train myself to express my inner thoughts clearly, and each time it is better than the last time."
"Then he may be a little too free." Jason said.
"It's better for him to be free." Captain America shook his head and said, "Doing a psychological assessment for me is much better than doing it for a demon or an abstract entity."
Okay, Jason thought to himself, I want to see how you train, so he asked a sharp question.
"Do you think modern America doesn't deserve Captain America?"
It seems that this question didn't stump Captain America, or he was too skilled. He had figured out all the problems in his heart when he was thinking about the answers to the psychological assessment.
"If it was America, which developed into a golden age under my influence, that rejected me, I would feel that they betrayed me and abandoned me. But if it was the modern America that I developed after sleeping for 70 years that rejected me, I would only feel that it was natural, because I have not made any contribution to this era. I just lay in the glacier and did nothing."
"Those who work harder get more, and those who don't work less get nothing. Since I have not made any contribution to the development of this era, it is natural for them to not accept me or forget me."
"Using my merits and demerits in the previous era to imagine what I might be able to do in the new era, and using this assumption to judge whether I am worthy or not, is a metaphysical fallacy."
"The fact is that what I could do in the previous era may not be possible in the new era. In this new era of turbulent development, I may not be as glorious as the last era, so what right do I have to think that the new era is not worthy of me? "
Jason thought this view was very interesting. He said, "I heard that you defeated the most evil organization Hydra during World War II. You must be very powerful. Even so, do you think that if you had not fallen asleep, you would not have done better in the new era?"
"War and peace are two different worlds, but I can never say that peacetime is definitely better than wartime." Captain America was bolder than Jason expected, "Because the mainstream view now is to pursue peace. If someone says that the chaotic and turbulent wartime is better than peacetime, he will definitely be labeled a terrorist."
But Captain America obviously has a different view. He said, "A lot of people did die back then. I don't just mean the United States, but the world. , the war brought great casualties, but it also re-established the world's pattern. "
"In such an era, there are many opportunities for advancement. It is no exaggeration to say that the United States in that era can really get rich with your own hands. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be much better than your original situation."
"But now..." Captain America shook his head and said, "Sometimes I understand that they no longer promote Captain America because the American spirit that I represent can no longer be realized. Some people will not change even if they work hard to death."
"Class turmoil and class solidification." Jason thought for a while and said, "Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. People in different classes always have different expectations."
"That's it." Captain America said, "If I really didn't fall asleep, I would have done it in the last decade. "My contribution made it easy for me to become an upper class. Even if the class system solidified later, I could at least live a life of luxury."
"But sometimes I wonder, when I see those people who can't make their lives better no matter how hard they try, can I really enjoy it with peace of mind? What would I do if I felt guilty?"
"Are you worried that you will become the culprit of chaos and unrest?"
"I don't think I'm such an extreme person, but I might want to help these people more, but you also understand that people can't betray their class. As a traitor to the class, I'm afraid I won't have a good end."
Jason seemed to see a different future. Captain America did not sleep, but returned triumphantly like a hero, accepting the cheers of the people. His fame was exchanged for wealth and status, allowing him to live a glamorous life.
But he is a profound and kind person. When he finds the ills of the next era, he will choose to stand up. However, without war, his importance will decline, and the enemy he has to face is the entire upper class.
Those who once lifted him up to a high position can make him fall into the quagmire, and those who are guided by the government to love and admire him can naturally be bewitched, abandon and betray him.
So he feels that even if he enters the new era smoothly, what awaits him will not be the same glorious ending as the previous era. It is more likely that the old soldier will never die, and the hero will die.
Each era talks about the contribution of each era. If he only has such a status in the new era, then perhaps more people will feel that this former hero is not worthy of the new era, and Captain America has been abandoned by the times.
