After all, Kishimoto is a man who has crawled around in society, even if he hasn't seen many people in the upper class, he has also seen a lot of people from the middle and lower classes.

Nine times out of ten, the people who scold at every turn, and even do it, are the bottom groups. As for people who often have honorifics such as "please" and "sorry" on their mouths, they are often middle-class.

At this moment, Iwasaki Maki didn't hate him, but felt that the soul that lived in the body in front of him was strangely interesting.

She felt that the other party was completely different from the other people she had come into contact with in the past, neither flattering in every way, nor desperately showing her ability to navigate the business world.

"How do you spend your time on weekdays?" Iwasaki Maki said out of curiosity in his heart, wanting to know more about him.

Of course, Masayoshi Kishimoto would not be stupid enough to say that he was racing and pickled girls...... A prodigal child. Even if he doesn't win the favor of this eldest lady, he can't destroy his image.

Masayoshi Kishimoto said calmly, "I read all kinds of books in my free time. Among them, I prefer serious literature, history, and philosophy. Although literature, history, and philosophy are divided into three categories, they are related to each other to a certain extent.

There is not a single true writer in the world who does not read history and philosophy books over and over again. Otherwise, it will not enlighten a person's wisdom. Without wisdom, people naturally cannot be led to think, and they cannot write profound things.

The most ironic thing is that writers, philosophers, historians, and sociologists write things that are intended to open the minds of the middle and lower classes, but they don't appreciate it, they don't like it at all, they just feel that it hurts to look at it.

They want to be entertained to death. History, literature, and philosophy are simply useless to ordinary people, and are even regarded as pretending, after all, they can neither eat nor drink, nor be used as moneymakers.

On the contrary, people in the upper middle class have a soft spot for it. One end is getting dumber, the other is getting smarter. As a result, you have a great sense of superiority in your heart, and it is useless to say more to those who don't understand.

No matter how much they say, they won't understand. It is in line with what Confucius said, the people can make it, but they can't know it. ”

"No, it's all your imagination. At least, I didn't think about it the way you say. "Iwasaki Maki is back to his normal state, and he is duplicitous.

"Okay! I voluntarily admit that I was dirty. Kishimoto smiled meaningfully.

He is not unaware that among the upper class, let alone the top class, there is no one who has not been taught literature and philosophy since childhood.

Even in ancient philosophies like China, which are not systematic, they will invite someone to teach their children the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism at home.

Even if it is not used for the imperial examination, it is all to enable children to benefit from it for a lifetime and open the door to wisdom. In a sense, it is that they see themselves as human beings, not monkeys, and the biggest difference between humans and monkeys is spiritual.

The people at the bottom have not even received a basic satisfaction above the material level, and their heads are often worried about meeting various bills, how to pursue spiritual things?

They are so busy that they are exhausted, and they don't want to move their heads, just to be able to live well. Isn't American writer Barbara Allenwick's "My Life at the Bottom" a good illustration of everything?

It is almost impossible for the poor to turn over. Not only that, but Kishimoto naturally thought that as globalization intensified, the gap between the rich and the poor would widen.

The 26 richest people in the world have more wealth than the other poorest 3.6 billion people. In a way, this means that half of the people on the planet are not as good as those 26 people.

Why do the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? The distribution of wealth is like a champagne tower built high.

When the champagne is poured, it must start from the top. When the top glass is overflowing, the next layer will be filled with champagne.

And so, layer by layer, it all looked down like this. Champagne represents wealth or resources, and this thing cannot be filled with every glass. The more downwards you are, the less or even more champagne is in the glass.

Even if the base at the bottom is the largest, it will not be overallocated to champagne because of this, and the change of rules will not be from top to bottom, but from bottom to top, after all, the person who pours champagne is at the top level.

If the top glass gets bigger and bigger, it means that more and more champagne will be filled. This is where the shrinking and shrinking middle class comes from.

They were given less champagne than they had in the past, so they had to compete fiercely internally, leaving some of them eliminated and relegated to the bottom class.

Kishimoto couldn't help but remember that in his previous life, he had read "The Great Rich: The Rise of the World's Super Upstarts and the Fall of Others" written by Christian Freeland.

Today, under the impact of the market and technological innovation, unprecedented wealth has been generated, and there has never been so many wealth owners in the history of mankind.

The meaning of "rich" has changed dramatically. The rise of these top wealthy and the role they play in society is increasing.

The largest income gap in society does not exist between the rich 1% and the remaining 99%, but between the richest 0.1% and the 1%.

They have expanded into a new generation of global super-rich with skyrocketing assets, leaving the so-called rich far behind.

They love British state schools, they don't keep a low profile in philanthropy, and their important ideas are self-created rather than mantle-mongered.

"The most precious thing about a human being is to be able to think. What is the difference between a person who doesn't think and a monkey? No matter how painful it is, thinking is still full of fun for people. Do you think I'm right?" said Iwasaki coldly.

"You're right, and I'm wrong. Who will hold the right to speak in your hands?" Kishimoto smiled.

Of course, he knows the importance of having a voice. However, what he was thinking about at the moment was not this, but thinking about benefiting him for a lifetime, and what he particularly admired was "Xunzi Twenty-third Sexual Evil" from Confucian Xunzi.

Kishimoto's righteous thought is also more inclined to Xunzi's doctrine and thought. In his view, there is both logic, unlike Mencius's rhetoric, and argumentation, unlike Mencius's nonsense. In contrast to Mencius, he defined human nature.

Xunzi developed Confucianism, and on the issue of human nature, he advocated the theory of sexual evil, advocated that human nature is evil, denied the moral concept of natural talent, and emphasized the influence of acquired environment and education on people.

His doctrine is often compared with Mencius's "Theory of Sexual Goodness", and Xunzi also made a significant contribution to the reorganization of Confucian classics.

"We're just discussing, not in my hands. Maki Iwasaki argued.

Her greatest interest at the moment was to know why he, as a capitalist, had the idea of being a socialist. Even if there was no competition in it, it couldn't dispel her curiosity.
