Chapter 444: Fewer pirates lead to a high incidence of cancer
The Flying Cult claims that pirates are "saints" and claims that all the problems of modern society, such as environmental pollution, climate change, higher divorce rates, and lower birth rates, are caused by the decline in pirates, as evidenced by relevant statistics.
However, whether ancient or modern pirates, in fact, are not a bunch of good people, the image of ancient pirates in modern society has improved, but because they have been extinct in the dust of history, and then "distance produces beauty", the distance of time makes people forget their murderous deeds of ravaging the route, looting goods, killing people and seizing ships, only the pride of fighting with the waves and loneliness with sails, so there is the pirate ship game in Disneyland and four consecutive "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies.
In fact, the pirates of modern society, the famous Somali pirates also have a bunch of "fans" on the Internet, and the so-called "give you a piece of sea, and give you a miracle in your life!" The Somali pirate human resources department recruitment advertisement is widely circulated on the Internet. This is also because of the distance, which happened in distant Africa, and if the "recruiter" was replaced by the Malacca pirates or even the stupid big wood of Birdcage Mountain, everyone's attitude would definitely be different again.
Therefore, distance is the best beautifier, whether it is the distance in time or space, it can produce "beauty".
In fact, most people with intelligence and insight can still distinguish between true beauty and false beauty, so the Flying Mask Sect chose pirates as saints more just out of a spoof mentality, no matter how much everyone likes the maverick Captain Jack, they can't deny the fact that pirates are actually bad guys, "Since the saints of our Flying Mask Sect are bastards, what about the saints of other religions who are glorified and mythologized?"
That's right, this new type of fictional religion is playing the game of fighting bad battles, willing to be laughed at, and pulling the sacred off the horse.
In order to oppose the interference of religion in secular life, the Flying Mask Cultists argue that they should also enjoy the "privileges" of real religion, trying to prove with their absurd behavior that religion itself is strange, or at least prove how ridiculous it is for religion to enter life from the heart and interfere with people's daily life.
For example, most countries stipulate that ID photos should be bareheaded, and glasses and hats are not allowed unless there are religious reasons. Therefore, some Flying Noodle Sect members specially wear a pot or pasta to take ID photos, claiming that the overhead noodle pot is a religious custom of the Flying Noodle Sect. And because "the law does not prohibit it", as long as they do not cover their faces, the clerks cannot refuse this request, so the head of the pot has become the second characteristic image of the flying mask cultists after the pirate dress.
However, a person like Atletico Madrid with a small milk pot on his head is a hypocrite, and he will be dragged out and burned to death if he puts it aside.
I have to say that as an Internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans and great influence on the Internet and in reality, Boss Ma's photo has played a very big role in promoting the spread and promotion of the Flying Face Sect in the Chinese world, and has pushed this originally very niche emerging religion to tens of millions or even more people.
However, it is of no avail.
As the largest atheist country in the world, no matter how much the materialist view of history learned in school is forgotten after the exam, most of the people in this land still don't believe in gods, so naturally they don't need to use Qimen weapons like the Flying Face Sect.
Atletico Madrid and their families have been learning Darwin's theory of evolution since middle school, unlike the American people, where theology courses are much more important in secondary school, and religious groups have always wanted to push evolution out of the classroom, at least to put their "intelligent design theory" into it first.
Intelligent design theory is a kind of scientific creationism, which can be regarded as a model of theologians "using long skills to control it", they admit genes and heredity, but oppose that living things are evolved, and believe that the particularities of human beings, the natural world, and the earth and the solar system are all designed by a certain intelligent being, because they are so perfect and complex, it is impossible to shake them out by the dice of natural variation and evolution.
Organisms have existed on the earth for 3.5 billion years, and it only took 6 million for humans to become the crown of the earth, how can it be that they have evolved?
As the third satellite of the sun, the earth is not far from the sun, it is just right, it will not be as hot as Mercury and Venus, nor will it be as cold as Mars, it is not deliberately arranged by some great power, how can it be such a coincidence?
And our sun, the other stars in the universe, are either brighter than the sun, causing the surrounding planets to overheat without a solid shell, or darker than the sun, causing the lack of sunlight heat to make it difficult for the planets to supercool life.
When this theory arrives in China, it basically has no effect except for providing some brain holes for online novel writers. In the same way, as its "natural opponent", the Flying Noodles Sect naturally has no use. After all, the education department of my plan will not be idle to let the teachings of Buddhism, Taoism or other religions enter the textbooks, and naturally there will not be a group of flying disciples who will run to ask for the same textbooks.
However, reality is sometimes more bizarre than fiction, and Atletico soon discovers that the Flying Noodles Sect, which suddenly became popular because of him, actually has a place to use.
The first to pick up the weapon of flying noodles to teach pirate drawings is another Internet celebrity, Brother Elbow.
As a well-known popular science writer, Brother Elbow has always been opposed to water to oil, perpetual motion machines, and intelligent design theory, and it is not easy for him to continue to insist on academic fraud for more than ten years since 1999.
However, during the Spring Festival two years ago, he didn't know what to think, so he went to engage in literary research, and as a result, a Fang-Han war broke out, not to mention a lot of fans, and he also provoked a lot of sunspots.
As the top student in the college entrance examination that year, a doctor of biochemistry in foreign countries, and a popular science writer, he blindly jumped into the literary circle and ran to question that Han Dashao's article was ghostwritten, which made the mistake of attacking the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings.
Relatively speaking, the academic community's tolerance for plagiarism is much lower than that of the literary world, and those who plagiarize other people's papers and forcibly occupy the academic achievements of team members, although they are not discredited once exposed, are also disgraced, and elbows are also fruitful in this regard.
However, his previous experience in combating counterfeiting is not applicable in the literary world, where "ghostwriting", or paid transfer of authorship, is still very common. Especially for the studio writing mode of modern assembly line production, the signature is often only the person who is in charge, for example, most of the scripts of Hollywood blockbusters are the result of the collective creation of professional screenwriting teams, some people are responsible for funny jokes, some people are responsible for character descriptions, some people are responsible for the promotion of emotional lines, some people are responsible for the advancement of story lines, and it is only the leader of the screenwriting team who finally goes on stage to win the best screenplay award.
In this case, the elbow jumped in and questioned that Han Dashao's famous work was ghostwritten by his father, but he was defeated before the battle.
The fight against literary counterfeiting itself cannot get much support from the people, after all, ghostwriting is your willingness, and plagiarism is not the same thing. And even if it was plagiarism, Han Dashao's lifelong enemy Guo Xiaosi was found to have plagiarized by the court and was sentenced to apologize and compensate, isn't there nothing to do afterwards?
Fortunately, more than a year has passed, but another famous literati jumped into Brother Elbow's professional field and openly questioned the "genetically modified corn tasting" activity organized by Brother Elbow, and finally the two fought together again like the original Fang and Han wars, and once again made trouble to the point of fighting Bo Gongtang.
But this time, it was the other party who lost before the battle.
There is a famous saying among online game players such as Dota and LOL that "if you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate", which is the other way around, that is, "I would rather have a pig-like opponent than a god-like teammate". God teammates can only take you to pretend to be forced to fly with you, but the pig opponent can send people thousands of miles away, and there is no experience and no gold coins, and there is naturally a pig opponent to send it, of course, it is a good thing.
In order to prove himself and argue on the other side, the famous TV host Xiao Cui went to the United States, claiming to have spent millions of yuan to shoot a documentary exposing the problem of genetically modified food safety, and took it out and broadcast it on the Internet in the past few days.
Then, in vain, the head was given.
In fact, at the beginning of the debate, the statements of the two people were reasonable, Xiao Cui said, "You have the freedom to be a guinea pig to eat genetically modified, and I also have the right not to eat it", which is naturally blameless, such as the origin of raw materials and whether genetically modified are now marked on the label of edible oil in shopping malls, which is a response to this right to know, but he went berserk because of Brother Elbow's ridicule of "You are not qualified to talk to me about genetically modified", and resigned from Aunt Yang angrily and went to shoot that documentary.
Then, decisively proved that he was indeed not qualified to talk about GMO with the old side.
The harm of genetically modified organisms is not the same as gutter oil hot pot, sulfur bean curd, and hydrogen peroxide chicken feet, and the latter itself contains a large number of toxic substances that are harmful to the human body, and the small workshop-style production process also contains a lot of non-standardized, dirty and unhygienic places, as long as the reporter comrades are willing to risk death to secretly take pictures, they can easily obtain strong evidence, and then the truth is revealed, and the masses are angry.
However, the trick of secretly filming and secretly interviewing this domestic TV reporter has failed in dealing with genetically modified organisms.
There is a fact that the current genetically modified crops themselves do not contain toxic substances that are directly harmful to humans. Although this possibility exists, it is only a theoretical possibility, because there is no benefit.
Even the golden rice that was sprayed by the domestic media (rice with carrot genes that can produce carotenoids and can prevent vitamin A deficiency) is safe in itself, and the problem is that there is a problem with the test procedure, which hurts the right to know of the parents of the test children.
In the sci-fi game "Mass Effect", there is a genophage virus, which has turned all the Krogan people, a strong race in the galaxy, into infertility patients, and the tragic birth rate has led to a sharp decline in the population, and it can no longer threaten other intelligent races.
This so-called phage virus is the legendary "racial genetic weapon", and the cost-effectiveness ratio of one-shot extermination and targeted strikes is certainly beautiful, but for the real world, no intelligent person will allow this kind of thing to appear in the world. "Resident Evil", "Nuclear Wasteland" or something would be very interesting as a game background, but it is not suitable for playing in reality at all, because it is too easy to play off, and the wise do not do it.
So Xiao Cui, who went to the United States, faced a serious problem, he could not find direct evidence to prove the harmfulness of genetically modified crops. This is also normal, the US FDA does not have Zheng Xiaoyu, the reason why the test of golden rice came all the way to the mainland to do it, isn't it also easy to fool here?
In fact, even environmental groups that oppose GMOs are mainly opposed to the potential ecological risks caused by the misuse of GMO technology. However, the misuse of antibiotics can also lead to bacterial resistance, and you go to the hospital and say to the patient, "Misuse of antibiotics is bad, don't take the medicine, resist it!"
Therefore, Xiao Cui, who could not find direct evidence of the harmfulness of GMOs, had to make a bunch of unscientific and illogical reasoning processes in that documentary.
He first found a female physicist who had served in the U.S. Navy and who retired to study "the correlation between glyphosate herbicides and cancer."
Glyphosate is a herbicide that is generally lethal to green plants, but it is relatively easy to degrade and fail, so the usual way to use it is to sprinkle herbs to control weeds before sowing, and wait until the crops grow and it also decomposes, so there is no harm naturally.
The reason why glyphosate and genetically modified crops are related is because of glyphosate-tolerant crops. This genetically modified crop has "toxic resistance", glyphosate can be used as daily field weeding, for foreign mechanized farmers, this can greatly reduce the workload of field management, find that weeds raise their heads and pull out the plane to spray it.
However, in this way, it has caused two problems, one is that the abuse of glyphosate leads to weed resistance, and the non-resistant ones are artificially selected, and the rest are highly resistant weeds, which is actually more anxious about the pesticide companies of seed companies. Another problem is that the frequent use of glyphosate may lead to residues of glyphosate on agricultural products.
Then Xiao Cui got a theistic theory: "It is precisely because of the large-scale use of glyphosate herbicides in the past few decades that has led to an increase in cancer cases in Americans, so it's all GMO!"
It's true that glyphosate is becoming more and more popular, because it's safer and more economical, and it's also true that there are more and more cancer cases in the United States, but what is the connection between the two?
Replacing the horizontal axis with the number of pirates in the world also leads to the conclusion that the decline in piracy in the world has led to an increase in the incidence of cancer in the United States.
Then Brother Elbow made such a picture and sent out Xiao Cui. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
