Chapter 50 Human Nature VI
Chapter 50: Human Nature (6)
1. Sex
In China, two sages expounded their views on sexuality, one was Confucius, who said in the Book of Rites that "men and women eat and drink, and the great desires of man are preserved." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "One is Mencius, Mencius Yun:" Chromophobia also. And the lust is one of the two great needs of human nature, the importance of visibility.
Sex, it should be said that human sexual needs, is only the second largest human needs after dietary needs, and is not only the core issue of biology, but more importantly, human sexual needs are also accompanied by emotional needs, at the top of spiritual needs, because human sexual behavior is not simply the application of sexual functions, and the production of human organs, the study of human sexual behavior has great social significance, as well as cultural significance.
All over the world, whether ancient or modern, human sexuality is influenced by culture and is invisibly controlled, and cultural intentions dictate political processes, which in turn influence people's sexual intentions.
Looking at human sexual function from the perspective of evolutionary theory, we can see that the sexual function of all higher mammals in the world is inferior to the evolution of human sexual function, especially the sexual function of human women, which has evolved to an unimaginable level. In the biological evolution of human females, they gradually evolved the estrus period that is common in mammals, which laid a solid foundation for the comprehensive ability of human sexual function.
Modern biologists and anthropologists have shown that human sexual function is divided into two major abilities, one is the ability to reproduce and inherit, and the other is the ability to transmit spirits. It can also be said that there are material functions and spiritual functions in human sexual functions. Human beings can apply a variety of sexual means to transmit the physiological pleasure brought to the spiritual realm, to achieve the highest feeling of "absolute spirit", and express it in words and behaviors to convey the factor of love, so as to achieve the most intimate relationship between people. In other words, human beings can exchange and transmit the closest messages of mutual love by controlling the sexual sphere, and strengthen this relationship through sexual behavior.
Women, in particular, have evolved to the point where biologists and anthropologists have marveled at the sexuality of women. In recent years, studies by anthropologists have shown that women can have sex with more than 600 men at the same time and in the same space without interruption as long as they wish. This is something that no other higher mammal can do, including the closest thing to a human being, the chimpanzee.
It can be said that the evolution of human sexual function has reached the highest level of species evolution and has reached the point of perfection, and the evolution of human sexual consciousness has penetrated into the bone marrow and soul of human beings, and has played a decisive role in the progress of human civilization.
Therefore, for human sexuality, it cannot be regarded only as a part of human human body functions, but more importantly, it is of great significance that human sexual consciousness has a significant impact on human cultural thought.
Human sexuality has melted into a spiritual force that influences the integration of race and culture.
2. Human sexual consciousness also has the same sheep and wolf nature
Human sexual consciousness also has the expression of sheep and wolf nature. The human beings living along the river basin are more inclined to the sexual expression of sheep sexuality, with the purpose of harmonious coexistence and the purpose of exchanging money, showing a peaceful and mutual sexual culture. The sexual consciousness of people in these regions is often swayed by abstinence ideas. Perhaps due to the nature of herbivores, humans who are mainly vegetarians along the river basin generally weaken compared with humans in coastal areas and grasslands, and show signs of sexual degradation. Due to the influence of the natural environment, the cultural cognition is generally lower than that of humans in the coastal areas and grassland areas, and the human progress is backward due to the above reasons. The repression of sexual consciousness due to cultural influences has led to evolutionary signs of weakening of sexual ability among humans throughout the above-mentioned regions. Taking male sexual consciousness as an example, the male sexual consciousness in the above areas is generally weakened by humans in coastal areas and grassland areas, because human beings also have sexual attraction games like mammalian pups in the early development period of 3 to 7 years old, and obtain first knowledge about sexuality in games, but this phenomenon gradually disappears in humans under the suppression of moral culture. This phenomenon is still widespread in underdeveloped rural areas, but it has gradually disappeared in developed and civilized areas, and with it is supplemented by education. The impact of this may become even more pronounced in the future.
There are two major cultures in the world, one is the Western philosophical thought of "absolute spirit" based on the idea of "only mind", and the other is the oriental philosophical thought of "absolute matter" based on the idea of "materialism".
In the "idealistic" world dominated by the "absolute spirit", sexual culture and sexual consciousness are generally in an open state, and it is a kind of political mainstream consciousness that leads the development of ideology to strengthen the self. Therefore, under the influence of Western philosophical thought, human beings generally show a strong self-conscious wolf attitude in sexual ability, regardless of gender, in terms of sexual consciousness is in the state of active sexual culture, so the human body in these areas is generally strong, the mental outlook is strong, and the sexual ability is generally strong.
In the "materialist" world dominated by "absolute materialism", sexual culture and sexual consciousness are generally in a closed state, and it is a kind of blockage of political mainstream consciousness that dominates the development of ideology in the direction of weakening the self. Therefore, under the influence of Oriental scientific thought, human beings are generally in a passive state of sheep sex in terms of sexual ability, and both men and women are in a passive response to sexual culture in terms of sexual consciousness, so the human body in these areas is generally weakened, the mental outlook is peaceful, and there are signs of deterioration of sexual ability.
Due to the above reasons, the populist ideas of people under the influence of Western philosophical ideas are generally higher than those under the influence of Eastern philosophical thoughts. This is evidence of cultural influence. In southern Africa, human beings are affected by cultural backwardness, and there is a state of irresponsibility in sexual consciousness, and the arbitrariness of sexual behavior is generally greater than that in Europe and Asia, which are controlled by culture. As a result, blacks in southern Africa are sexually stronger, and the tools of external fertility are more developed and more sophisticated.
It can be seen that culture has a decisive influence on sexual consciousness and sexual ability, and directly affects human consciousness and sexual performance.
E.O. Wilson concludes his essay "On Human Nature, Chapter 6, Sexuality": "The basic thesis of this chapter is that, with the help of new advances in evolution, human sexuality can be defined far more precisely than in the past, and to ignore this is to fail to recognize important parts of human history, the basic implications of our actions, and the meaning of the choices we face."
Through the role of education and law, every society inevitably forms a series of choices on issues such as sexual differences, standards of sexual behavior, and the strengthening of the family, and because of the increasing complexity and interdependence of the institutions and technologies of government, it is necessary to make a choice with corresponding precision and experience, and in one way or another, by intuition or with the help of science, our research will go deep into the history of evolution, because human nature is tenacious, and to change it must first pay a price.
Starting from the equality of opportunity for the sexes guaranteed by law, a society can develop towards statistical equality in occupational choice, or retreat to artificial sex discrimination, in any case, an unknown price awaits it, a society can organize a functionally stable nuclear family, or it can eliminate the family and replace it with a collective farm, in any case, an unknown price awaits it, and those societies that force uniformity with heterosexual standards must also pay their own price- There has been a third such price to be paid in terms of personal suffering, and we believe that culture can be rationally designed, that we can teach, that we can reward, that we can coerce, but in doing so, we must consider the cost of each culture, and that this cost must be measured in terms of the time and effort required to train and implement it, but also in terms of the happiness that must be sacrificed to bypass our innate tendencies, of course. The latter is a price that is not so easy to see and feel. ”
Culture is an important factor in determining human intentions, and the directionality of cultural thought determines the direction of human intentions. In the same way, regardless of the political program and political measures of intent, there must be a price to be paid for the consequences of their political intentions, which are often devastating, and the sacrifice of the remnants of one nature in exchange for the success and victory of another political intention is also a manifestation of the progress of human civilization.
However, at the cost of annihilating the remnants of human nature, in exchange for the success of personal intentions and political morality, and ultimately bringing the people to one side of the degradation of natural nature, whether this price is worth it will be something that all politicians must consider in depth after the fact.
3. Blocking and sparse
We try to create one after another good students who obey all orders, but we do not create the correct way of thinking to create good students. In the end, whether it is the most scientific ideological method to use the simplest and most rational method of suppressing, prohibiting, abolishing, and blocking to eliminate the natural nature of a certain human being, and not hesitating to use the value of reducing or eliminating a certain natural nature, in order to achieve the appearance of obeying the people, is really worthy of profound consideration and consideration by politicians.
Chinese use the method of "blocking" everything, but they do not know the truth of "dredging". This has to do with the method of thinking that the Chinese have been using for thousands of years. The reason lies in the ideological method; the Chinese shout "openness" and "openness" every day, but they do not know that openness comes from the ideological principle of "three points," but they firmly grasp the big stick of the "two-in-one" theory and wield it. The Chinese have always stood on the "two-in-one" theory, and are unwilling to leave the closed way of thinking of the two-in-one theory, and cannot get rid of the influence of the closed thinking on the program of action. In fact, this is a very simple truth, but no one is willing to accept it, and the fundamental reason is that the closed thinking of the Chinese is too deep-rooted.
In fact, it is not that we do not know that it is a wrong practice to solve problems by closed means, but it is just that using closed means to solve problems can produce results more quickly, and we can see that problems are solved immediately and the results are more obvious; compared with the ideological methods of dredging up and opening the door, closed means are easier to manage, and politicians are more likely to get the opportunity to reflect their political achievements. As a result, Chinese officials are clinging to the big stick of "closure" while holding on to the big stick of "closure," and their reluctance to accept that dredging may lead to complicated problems for themselves. It is easier to govern behind closed doors than to govern with the door open.
There was a very great emperor in ancient China, that is, Dayu, and Emperor Yu used dredging to control water. However, his people did not inherit his mantle, and after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he began to fully implement the closed and blocked ideological methods, intending to use the closed and blocked ideological methods to govern the people, so as to realize the emperors' dream of eternal imperial power, but the closed and blocked ideological methods are the reason for the deeper resentment, and the social contradictions are accumulating deeper and deeper in the encirclement and closure, which eventually leads to the continuous change of dynasties. The people have broken through again and again in the midst of encirclement, and the frequency of uprisings and wars has been higher than one time, and they have developed periodically, but they have not been able to advance and improve the quality of the people, and this is the result of the dualistic thinking method of the Chinese using closed and blocked.
On the other hand, in Western countries, under the guidance of the "three-point" open-minded thinking, everything is based on the thinking method of "existence is reasonable" and the theoretical method that everything is flawed, to discover problems, open the door, and solve practical problems in an open manner. Find problems with an open mind, solve problems with grooming, and find the defects of problems by having things in mind, and then treat the symptoms and solve the problems. Instead of simply closing the flawed parts of things, accumulating mistakes, precipitating resentment, and causing bigger mistakes.
If the Chinese cannot raise their minds to the level of open-mindedness, it can only be a fantasy if they want to make progress. Only by elevating our minds to an open mind, looking at the essence of things with the thinking method of "existence is reasonable" in everything, using the theoretical method of using defects in everything to measure the causes of problems, opening up defective problems, and channeling problems, so as to resolve contradictions, calm down incidents, and solve practical problems.
For thousands of years, Westerners have been constantly looking for the best solution to solve the problem, with the purpose of resolving contradictions and achieving the goal of civilization and progress. So if you look at history, the people's uprisings and wars of Westerners are all people's internal wars that revolve around the will to reform politics, but if you look at the history of China, from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to the Wuchang Uprising that overthrew the feudal dynasty in modern times, which time was not around the overthrow of the current government and the establishment of a new government and launched a people's internal war, the purpose of the war is only one, to overthrow everything and build everything, and then it is to repeat the mistakes of the past again and start a new round of closed governance. Repeat the mistake of a small mess in 30 years and a big mess in 60 years.
Why can't we reform our thinking methods, change the direction in which our thinking is going, and follow the direction of openness, enlightenment, order, and dredging? But it is easier said than done.
In China, every regulation is set up from the perspective of blocking, setting up a fence in front of the development of things, artificially creating obstacles to overcome, so that people can not touch the real purpose of policy setting, and become a gap between you taking money and you not giving money, and the purpose of policy measures is only one, to plug loopholes and stop defects, rather than opening the sores and releasing pus like treating abscesses, so as to better cure abscesses.
In fact, if you have an open mind and adopt an open-minded approach when designing a certain regulation and design an open policy of governance, then what you will set up in front of people is not a horizontal chasm, but a smooth road, and such laws and regulations will no longer be a gap that can be crossed but cannot be overcome, and it will not become a corrupt chasm where you take money to live and you don't give money.
If one day the thinking and methods of the Chinese people stand on the height of opening up in an all-round way, China will be the most civilized and advanced country in all mankind. Because the Chinese have 5,000 cultural accumulations and an extraordinary degree of civilization, once the Chinese wake up one day, then the Chinese will still be the most civilized and progressive nation in the world, and will inevitably make great strides in the forefront of the world.
That's why I wrote the "Treatise on the Classics", the so-called scriptures are the principles of sparseness, and the so-called Lun is the principles of order. "Shu" says: "The road of the north and the south is called the warp, and the road of the east and west is the weft." Lun, the order of people is Lun. "Yi Zhou Shu" said: "Yi is to know the order, the order is Lun; Lun does not rise, and the upper is not collapsed." Therefore, the scriptures do not choose the way, and the Lun is unusual, because the reason is not distinguished, and the order is unclear.
The significance of the "Treatise on Ethics and Ethics" is that it is based on philosophy and law, in order of human ethics, clearly prohibited, clear (open) and permanent, choosing morality, being an ordinary person, loving forever, strengthening the soul, keeping the scriptures for the family, for the righteousness of the country, and being loyal to heaven and earth.
