Chapter 054: Human Nature Is Inherently Evil
After dinner, Jia Youwei didn't want anyone else to follow. I took my daughter Jia Qianqian and led the fat man to walk around the villa together, all to help digest the food in the stomach.
At the same time, the Li family is not in the same good mood as them. In addition to complaining to each other, the three of them have to sum up what Jia Youwei means?
As a subordinate, if you can't thoroughly understand the content and spirit of the leader's conversation and think clearly, then you are incompetent and fail.
"Lao Jia, I don't think they are bad, but some of them are cocooning themselves. Are you going to replace?" Jia Qianqian walked slowly on the cement pavement and said casually.
"Nothing. It's just that when it's time to beat, you still have to beat it. I see that they have been full for a long time, and they are in a panic, and they forget that they are slaves?
Let Li Quan have a sense of crisis, and he will do his part more desperately and diligently. Jia Youwei slowly began to teach his daughter the art of controlling people.
He paused, then suddenly changed his words, and then said, "You must understand that there are not only people in this world, but also a kind of people who look like people.
The latter will only be driven by the former, and they often do not have the ability to think independently. This kind of ability is generally regarded as a burden by the latter, and useless things are not at all as practical as the petty profits in front of them.
In fact, even the former has to develop independent thinking skills, which is extremely difficult. This requires wisdom and self-awareness, which is much more difficult than ordinary people with no family background to get an annual salary of more than one million. ”
"Isn't this too unfair?" Jia Qianqian seemed to understand the meaning of his father's words, but he realized the inequality in it.
"The class structure of human society will always be pyramidal, so there will always be injustice. Perhaps, it is because there is unfairness that it is fair. As the British writer Adolphus Huxley wrote in "Brave New World".
Even if the same cell replicates, divides, hatches, and recreates a human, there will be individual differences, and the so-called luck will be encountered in the process of artificial selection.
Some people are born with the highest levels of alpha (α) and beta (β), some people are born with gamma (γ), and some people are born with the lowest levels of delta (δ) and epsilon (ε).
Alpha and Beta are the highest level, and are kept before they hatch and mature into embryos in breeding centers, so that they can be raised in the future to become big men who lead and control all classes;
Gamma is the common class, the equivalent of a commoner, while Delta and Epsilon are the lowest, can only do ordinary manual labor, and have low intelligence.
In addition, non-alpha or beta fertilized eggs are replicated on the largest possible scale by a method called the Pokanovsky procedure before they develop into embryos.
After a series of brutal competitions, it can survive after birth. The book also mentions a human experiment that put 50,000 people of alpha (α) and beta (β), who were born with the highest rank, on an island.
As a result, the beginning was fine, everyone lived together peacefully, and the spirit of democracy was carried forward. Then, as time goes on, it becomes that everyone is on the same level, why do I do physical activities, but you do mental work, and contradictions arise.
In this struggle for power and profit, it is inevitable to kill each other. In the end, only 3,000 people remained on the island. Everyone is highly intelligent, but they still can't avoid the tragedy, do you know why this happens?" Jia Youwei replied in a dialectical materialist way.
Jia Qianqian stopped, first shook his head, and then raised his little head to look at his father, his eyes were full of thirst for the unknown and said, "I don't know." ”
"This goes back to what your grandfather told you and me, that human nature is evil. Furthermore, it is who does what and sits in the right seat. Only in this way can society be stable and stable for a long time.
Of course, there will inevitably be unwilling people among them, resulting in contradictions and troublesome things one after another. As a result, human beings are smart enough to build a social ladder of bottom-up mobility.
In the past, the imperial examination system, and now, the college entrance examination system, civil service examinations, public institution examinations, and so on. Whether it's fair or unfair, it always gives people some hope!
This is always more than 10 million times stronger than human beings killing each other and making meritorious contributions on the battlefield! Speaking of which, I am reminded of "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, a modern British writer and Nobel laureate in literature. The core of this book is also about the inherently evil nature of human beings. Jia Youwei has a saying.
Jia Qianqian saw that his father was no longer talking down, but he hooked his interest again, and urged: "Old Jia, don't talk half of it! Why don't you tell me a brief story about "Lord of the Flies", all when you are telling me a bedtime story. ”
"The story takes place in a nuclear war in the future Third World War, where a group of children between the ages of six and twelve are stranded on a deserted island due to a plane crash during their evacuation.
At first, everyone was able to live in harmony, but later, due to the expansion of the evil nature, they killed each other, and the result was tragic.
Lord of the Flies is an important philosophical novel that explores the serious theme of human evil through the innocence of children. Ralph represents the democracy of human governance, while Jack represents the autocracy of human instinct. In the end, it was the latter that triumphed over the former.
In the beginning, everyone was viscerally inclined to choose the democratic and civilized blonde Ralph over the dictatorial and military dictatorship of the red-haired Jack.
After splitting into two factions in the middle of the way, the reason why most people would defect and support Jack is that they are blinded by their vested interests in front of them and have meat to eat.
Simon represents the seer, like Bruno. In order to find out the truth about the monster, he went to investigate alone. Although he was the first to know the truth that the monster that everyone feared was the body of the pilot hanging from the trees, he was finally killed by Jack and his gang in the rain because of a seizure.
The piglet, who represents the thinker, is also killed by Jack and the others. He has no power, but he believes in the existence of humanity more than anyone else, and dares to defy authoritarian power.
Piglets have self-esteem but low self-esteem, and are often easily stifled by authoritarian power and have no ability to protect themselves. This is the greatest sorrow of intellectuals.
Whether it is Simon or the piglet, they all more or less agree to the explanation of the old Chinese saying, everyone is drunk, I am awake, that means that I will die soon.
The conch represents power, but it is crushed by the tyranny represented by Jack and others. Jack and the others don't need a symbol like a conch, but rely on barbarism and strength to rule. Jia Youwei said slowly as he walked forward.
