Chapter 217: A Dog Barking, A Hundred Dogs Barking (Part II)

"Language ability is one of the main differences between humans and ordinary animals. With the establishment and gradual maturity of the civilization system of human society, the development of human language ability has evolved to the extent that it can have a direct effect on the entire human society. The essence of this phenomenon is the process by which individual human beings use their language skills to redistribute and use natural resources. To put it simply, individuals or groups in a human population can directly change the behavior of other individuals or groups through simple verbal behavior, without paying any material cost, so as to gain the upper hand in the competition for resources within the population.

At this point, we can draw a simple and practical conclusion: one of the main motivations for the development of language function in modern humans is to benefit from other individuals, based on the animal nature that has not been completely stripped from human genes.

Applying this conclusion to the social phenomenon that no matter how the two people in the picture change the way they ride a donkey, they will be blamed by others, and the reason is clear: because the person who blames the donkey rider does not have a donkey himself.

The imbalance in the availability of resources leads to an instinctive need for everyone who does not have a donkey to establish a linguistic relationship with the donkey rider – whether or not that communication will help them reap the benefits. Therefore, if you think about it from another angle, if everyone in the picture has their own donkey, then this collective accusation will obviously not be valid.

The scolding of a donkey rider who has no donkey to ride is a microcosm of human society.

When the limited natural resources cannot fully take care of every human individual, the attributes of human society based on the premise of providing mutual exchange of resources will inevitably be overshadowed by the natural attributes of human beings. That is, animal nature surpasses human nature.

Fortunately, the legal and moral system in the context of human civilization has a huge power to maintain the social attributes of individual human beings. So the accuser ends up at the bottom line of using language to blame the donkey rider, instead of losing his humanity and using violence to rob others of their resources like other animals.

Travel back millions of years to the moment when humans were separated from other animals. The reason why people are independent is not only that we have social attributes, but also that our social attributes can effectively suppress the animal nature in our genes. As a result, individual human beings not only have aggression, but also have the ability to control their own aggression. The reason why human populations and societies have been able to develop to the size and maturity they have today despite insufficient resources is, in the final analysis, because we have developed a human nature other than animal nature, that is, reason.

Even under the domestication of humans, individual species that are dependent on humans have developed similar behavioral characteristics.

As man's closest animal companion in nature, every domestic dog has a sense of protecting resources for the family. In rural China, the vast majority of families keep dogs to guard their doors in case their belongings are damaged. Some dogs will bark as a warning to all strangers passing by the door, and when other dogs hear this call, they will instinctively follow the call. Just as some people who lack resources will try to establish communication relationships with all those who have more resources than others in sight, so as to encourage others who lack resources and lack self-control to follow suit.

A dog barks, a hundred dogs bark. Whether or not you know how to choose people and bark is the difference between a good dog and a bad dog.

In the case of a shortage of resources, whether or not you can control your mouth is the difference between a human and a dog and a donkey. ”

Lin Miao finished writing this essay of more than 1,000 words in one go, and her palms were already full of sweat.

He put his palm on the table and wiped it gently, his heart was full of spirits, he looked at his roll proudly, and said shamelessly first: "Damn, why am I so talented?"

As soon as the words fell, all the children in half the classroom rolled their eyes at Lin Miao.

Ding Shaoyi and Liang Yanhong stood at the back of the classroom, Ding Shaoyi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Lin Miao raised her hand to look at the time, there were still ten minutes left in the exam, and she was about to pick up the paper again to appreciate the words that emphasized her beauty and connotation, but suddenly stretched out a withered hand behind her and pulled Lin Miao's paper over.

Lin Miao turned his head to take a look, only to find that there was an old man standing behind him.

Old man Guo picked up the scroll, glanced at the last two sentences, and sighed: "Children, your outlook on life and society is a little distorted." ”

Lin Miao's eyebrows jumped wildly twice.

This grandfather, dare to ask where you work?

You can come to the exam room if you want to, do you think it's a public toilet!?

Lin Miao, who was splashed with cold water, roared in her heart, but her face remained completely well-behaved.

After all, the old man who used the examination room of the national exam as a public toilet basically couldn't afford to mess with it......

Let's forgive him......

He must be forgiven......

……

Half an hour later, Old Man Guo took Lin Miao and walked on the campus of Hucai.

Ding Shaoyi and Liang Yanhong followed far behind, keeping a distance that they could see but not hear.

Lin Miao was held by the old man, and she felt a little repulsed in her heart, the two men held hands, and she really couldn't accept it.

It's been almost a year since he came back from rebirth, and he hasn't even let Lao Lin take him for a long time......

"What books do you usually read?" Old man Guo walked for a long time, and finally spoke leisurely.

Lin Miao didn't dare to fool Miao Xiaoqiu and Principal Jin like he did, fooling this old man who didn't seem to be simple, and he was honest and perfunctory in his Spring and Autumn Technique: "It's more miscellaneous, basically you can watch what you get." ”

Old man Guo nodded lightly: "It's good, it's a good way to read a book." There are not many things that people can remember in their lifetime, and the key is to be able to form their own set of things through reading. ”

Lin Miao replied cowardly: "Hmm." ”

Old man Guo smiled: "Do you know what the school motto of Hucai is?"

Lin Miao shook her head: "I don't know ......"

Old man Guo said: "Virtuous and erudite, economic time." I won't mention the last four words, anyway, all schools say that what they teach can be used in the world. But the first four words, you have to remember. ”

Lin Miao: "Hmm......"

Old man Guo sighed: "It stands to reason that a child as young as you, it is indeed too early for me to tell you these words. But you should know that you are different from other children. I am not exaggerating to say that I can write this kind of article at the age of seven, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find a few of them after reading the thousands of years of Chinese history. ”

Lin Miao: "Hmm......"

Old man Guo: "Are you pretending to be stupid with me?"

Lin Miao: "Huh?"

Old man Guo rubbed Lin Miao's head speechlessly: "The complaint is too strong to prevent intestinal breakage, and the scenery should be long-term." When you write in the future, you should pay attention to proportion, and when you grow up, you should be more open-minded. Compare those you don't like to dogs, and you will have to suffer in the future. ”

Lin Miao: "Oh. ”

Old man Guo smiled: "Okay, let's go back." We'll see you in two days. ”

Lin Miao said strangely: "Do you want to see you again?"

Old man Guo said, "Don't you need to see your master?"

Lin Miao was stunned for a moment, and turned her head to look at Ding Shaoyi.

Old man Guo took Lin Miao's hand, walked towards Ding Shaoyi and Liang Yanhong, and said slowly: "Okay, don't look at it, I won't suffer if I am an apprentice, I will not agree to how many masters and doctors in this school beg me." Also, the article you wrote today can't be used in the competition, it's too long, and the content is too inappropriate. Later, you can go back and rewrite one, I told the deputy director of your education department, just write whatever you want, and your first prize will be decided early in the morning. ”

The corners of Lin Miao's mouth twitched: "Then why am I flying all the way away?"

Old man Guo said: "It's always necessary to form a form......"
