Chapter 47: The Infinite Spirit

There is no shortage of "loyal elders" in this world who advise young people to "don't take risks".

But in fact, most of those loyal elders have achieved little of their own.

To paraphrase a famous saying of Brother Pony - although the character of this guy is really not very good, this sentence is still very reasonable.

"You're not doing anything wrong, you're just too old. ”

Undoubtedly, the double standard evaluation of society is always full of malice for things such as college students starting businesses and middle school students looking for part-time jobs to experience social opportunities.

And after this double standard was exposed by Feng Jianxiong, the scene suddenly became more and more enlightened.

"Since young people just lose their time and energy, they do it for nothing, but they don't lose much of their own funds. So, what is the difference between such a failed business and 'finding a job that is not suitable and then changing jobs and starting all over again' in terms of the amount of loss? Why is society so strict with the former and so tolerant of the latter?"

"What? You said that entrepreneurial failure will leave the stain of the loser, so that people will never find financing opportunities in the future? Please, this is your obscenity, if the truth is like this, how can the serial entrepreneurs all over the world live?"

"So, even if it is a failure to start a business, it is only equivalent to a job search change. It's still rewarding, valuable, and comes at a negligible cost – as long as the young man starts his business with outside investment, rather than selling his house as capital.

If there is really a fool who sells his house and starts a business, then the person responsible should not be the young man, but his parents. This problem is not the pot of the young man's premature social practice, but the lack of guardianship of his parents. His parents should ask themselves: why would they be so stupid as to irresponsibly change the name of the title deed to their children early on?"

Although Bai Zhizhong's resistance on this issue is not as minimal as the previous one, it can indeed be seen that there is a clear decline.

……

"It is unstoppable that young people are getting in touch with society at an early age, and it is better to block it than to be distracted. ”

"Young people are motivated to practice in society as soon as possible, even if the cost of failure is not as serious as the other side says, but the reward is much greater. ”

These two important sub-arguments had already been won by Feng Jianxiong by a large margin at the end of the free debate.

The audience in the stadium no longer cared about what the two sides of the game were saying, they were still immersed in the gossip, immersed in Feng Jianxiong's invisible pretense.

The judges are naturally more professional, and they can barely suppress the shock in their hearts, and try to find the scoring and losing points of both sides as fairly as possible.

In fact, especially Gao Dasong and Beidao, who are cultural people in the United States, want to prove their impartiality and not be disturbed by the off-site sensationalism factors to interfere with their judgment, so that they are trying their best to help Bai Zhi find bright spots.

Helplessly, Bai Zhizhong himself was already in chaos.

He is the direct victim of being bombarded in front of new ideas and explosive secrets. Coupled with the psychological pressure of "the other party is a barefoot person who is not afraid of wearing shoes", no matter how good Rao is IQ is and how fast he reacts, there are times when there is a downtime.

As the host Sa Beining successively announced that the two sides had run out of time, the game officially entered the concluding statement - there was a lot of talk in front of him, so Feng Jianxiong's time ran out for nearly 20 seconds. In the end, the opposition spoke for 20 seconds in a row, recovering some of the decline.

But it's all innocuous though.

"Now, please make a concluding argument on the four sides of the square, the time is three minutes, please!"

After Sa Beining finished reading it, Feng Jianxiong stood up again, and before he spoke, he waved slightly to the audience.

However, no one in the stadium found this action abrupt.

It seems that everyone thinks that Feng Jianxiong is a big guy who is qualified to say "good comrades, comrades have worked hard".

This is the first time that Feng Jianxiong has taken on the role of four debates and summary speeches since he entered the international competition (including the domestic regional qualifying competition). It's not that he wants this, it's just that there are too many burdens in this game, and there are some things that he is afraid that Yu Meiqin will not understand and cannot prepare in advance.

Yu Meiqin's eloquence is certainly competent, but Feng Jianxiong's unique ability to foresee the future and predict the industry is irreplaceable.

The reason for the refutation was almost all said during the free debate just now, so Feng Jianxiong wanted to make this summary statement more into something that outlined and raised his intentions, and mixed it with some prospective dry goods.

Since this speech will be broadcast by CCTV, it is destined to be turned out by future generations from time to time to accept historical review.

Moreover, because he sprayed Wanwan's former propaganda minister Chen Wenqian in the previous semi-finals, he was aroused by the major online media and attracted the attention of many people who didn't care about the debate. Therefore, the number of viewers of this broadcast will definitely set a new record in the history of this event.

It is perfect to use such an opportunity to guide the country and predict the future.

“…… Today, with the explosion of information and knowledge, and lifelong education being paid more and more attention by all sectors of society, the elites of Chinese and foreign education circles are all aware of the problem that the knowledge learned in schools is facing the problem of being quickly outdated and outdated. Almost all of the newly promoted engineers who are engaged in the IT and information industry and other high-tech industries feel that the stock of knowledge taught in school cannot be used immediately for work when they step into their posts.

Knowledge, skills and experience are being generated at a rate far beyond what can be mastered by classical schooling. Therefore, everyone knows how important it is for students to integrate with and learn from social practice as soon as possible, as soon as possible, and in as deep a way as possible......

“…… On the other hand, with the progress of science and technology, the biggest problem in the contemporary industry is to use more and more detailed social division of labor to cope with the explosion of knowledge. In this case, if we do not use social practice to reflect on learning, do not use personal interests to guide learning, but still indoctrinate education according to the plan, the final result can only be a bunch of useless ......"

"The year before last, Professor Jeff Hinton of the University of Toronto pioneered a kind of artificial intelligence based on 'deep learning algorithms', and I believe that the new technology that has emerged under the guidance of this thinking can replace all the single-goal learning work that most humans feel needs to 'endure hardship' to complete within 20 years.

And what is the value of human beings? That is, the individual's spontaneous hobby learning.

Whether a capitalist invents a robot or an artificial intelligence, his starting point will only be to invent a machine to do what humans find difficult and willing to do if they need to be compensated with money – this is the natural law of a free market economy.

And only those things that humans are happy to do when they feel happy and don't give money are willing to do things for nothing, even if they are less efficient, but there is almost no risk of being replaced by robots and the intelligent revolution. Because this intelligence is developed and there is no 'market exchange value'.

Interests, hobbies, life pursuits, can these things be cultivated through classroom education? I'm afraid it's impossible, the school can only tell people, 'What can you do with your talents?'" However, what a person wants to do and what he loves to do, most of the time only through social activities can inspire his true love.

Therefore, smashing the passive shackles of traditional school education and allowing young people, including middle school students, to completely emancipate their minds and get in touch with social practice as soon as possible is not only of great significance for optimizing student education, but also an important means for human beings to find their own unique value that cannot be replaced by artificial intelligence in the era of intelligence.

In the face of something of such significance, even if the risk remains, it is only a delicate disease. Any problems encountered in the course of development will inevitably be resolved along with development. It is imperative for secondary school students to come into contact with society as early as possible......"

……

The concluding arguments of the opposing side are no longer important.

Because of Feng Jianxiong's concluding statement, he did not spend 100% of his energy on killing the opponent at all.

People with a slightly clearer eye can see that Feng Jianxiong has left at least three or four percent of his strength to draw flatbread, sprinkle dry goods, and make prophecies.

When Feng Jianxiong sat down and the opposing side stood up to summarize his arguments, most of the audience in the audience were still there to talk about their opinions on Feng Jianxiong's words - it can be seen that more than half of the amateur audience did not pay attention to the arguments of the opposing side at all.

It was the final question session of the judges, because the scope of the questions was a little freer, which attracted the attention of many audiences.

The person in charge of asking questions to the positive side is Gao Dasong, a literati in the United States.

"May I ask the four debates, do you think the debate in this game is fair to both sides?"

As soon as Gao Dasong's question was asked, the host and a few other judges felt a little rubbed.

This question does not seem to be very closely related to the debate in this field, although Gao Dasong is definitely well thought out.

And by heart, in fact, several judges wanted to ask this question, if not considering the occasion.

Actually, it's not fair – it's a question about a vision of the frontiers of society, and as long as that outlook is sufficient, I think the right side of the debate is predominant. ”

Feng Jianxiong's answer was very frank and undisguised.

Gao Dasong then asked: "Then do you think that in order to ensure the fairness of this event in the future, shouldn't you look for those debates that keep up with the forefront of the times?"

Feng Jianxiong thought for a while, and said as easily as chatting: "If fairness is the first value pursued by the competition, of course it can be judged in this way." If you want to take into account the value of 'the truth becomes clearer', there may be other options, such as modifying and fine-tuning the rules of the competition. ”

Gao Dasong: "For example, how do you think it can be changed?"

"For example, for cutting-edge debate topics, you can ask the audience and judges to stand in line to express their tendencies before the start of the competition, and count a score. Then put the pros and cons on the arguments, and finally count how many people they persuaded to change their minds - this format may not be good enough, but it can make up for some of the problems of 'the judges and the audience are preconceived before they listen to the debate'. ”

"Thank you for the suggestion, I'm done. ”

Gao Dasong put the microphone back on the table, and then another guest asked the opposing question.

After everything was over, the host Sa Beining announced: "Now let's take a break, please leave the judges for discussion, and the results of the competition will be announced later." ”

Five minutes later, the jury handed over the results to Sabenin, who unfolded the letterhead and read:

"Now I announce that the best debater in this competition is the fourth debater of the positive side, Feng Jianxiong. ”

"The result of this competition is 5:0, and the team of Jinling Normal University wins! Let's congratulate them on winning the championship of this year's International College Debate Competition. In a while, Senior Minister Hu of the National U Academy of the Sing Tao Republic will present awards to them!"

In addition, congratulations to Feng Jianxiong for winning the best debater in this year's International College Debate Competition. ”
