Feng Jianxiong and his teammates, every word they said on the field, in fact, when disassembled separately, is nothing unusual.

For example, there is a joke that almost everyone knows, mocking the American election: in the United States, if your opponent has 74% of the voters who strongly support you, and you only have 26%, then don't worry, you still have hope to be president-

As long as your opponent gets 100% of the votes of the voters in the states that make up 49% of the total population and total electoral votes in the United States.

Then, in each of the remaining states, which account for 51 percent of the total population and total electoral votes, each state gets exactly 51 percent of the popular vote.

Well, you're the president.

After all, the U.S. electoral system focuses on "winner-takes-all" in every state. 51%*51%, which is about 26%.

A two-level electoral toy can play this kind of game and turn a 26% opinion into a "democratic mainstream". In reality, considering that the candidates will desperately study the doorway and know which part of the people is a non-voter who can't beat a fart with a stick, they can do whatever they want to infringe on the interests of these people and curry favor with those who will cry and drink - as long as the threshold of this infringement is controlled to prevent those people from being forced to vote.

Therefore, it is entirely possible that 10% of people who are staunch supporters will succeed in ascending to the top.

As the progression increases, the scourge of this trick intensifies.

And the progress of media technology will obviously provide a guarantee for this increase in progression. IN AN AGE WHERE LISTENING TO THE RADIO DETERMINES ONE'S OWN OPINION, ONE IS NEVER AS SERIOUS AS IT WAS WHEN THE FUTURE GENERATIONS USED FACEBOOK TO SPREAD FAKE NEWS AND COERCE THE COMMUNITY.

The winner-take-all Matthew effect and the advancement of media technology are simply a match made in heaven. The "democratic united front," which could only be completed by "dividing twice," can now be united three or four times......

The leverage ratio is getting higher and higher, and the seeds needed can be less and less.

As long as those seeds are loud enough and want to express themselves strong enough.

And the public is also more lowly and indifferent enough - more indifferent than the spectators who were waiting in line for Jiannu to be beheaded, and more indifferent than the spectators who watched the Japanese soldiers beheaded in Mr. Lu Xun's pen.

……

At least tens of thousands of public administration scholars who study the evils of democratic justice are aware of these problems.

Among the new missionaries who study the impact of new Internet technology on media theory, there are no less than a number of people who understand the "spiral of silence" and the encroachment and coercion behind it.

In the eyes of sociologists who study whether technological progress is making human beings more equal or more equal, there are many similar ignorant opinions.

However, like Feng Jianxiong, he has a whimsical way to combine these ideas that are not new in these fields and play a combination punch that looks forward to the future, which is really something that few people have thought of before.

So, he won the race.

Although it was a little chaotic and not glorious, it managed to avoid a crisis of public opinion. Under the premise that he did not "surrender to the upper echelons", he kept the image of the "well-known big V", kept the fan base, and successfully promoted at the same time.

After all, no one will play a black Solzhenitsyn or Lu Xun-type role (provided that you know who Solzhenitsyn has squirted on, and be realistic about the facts.) As for those who only look at the label, they don't have this ability. ）

The host said something about the scene, the CCTV camera crew's cameras were turned off one after another, the lights in the venue were also readjusted, and the losing party left the scene gloomily.

Feng Jianxiong didn't have the joy of victory, after all, he just fought a set of chaotic battles, and he had to do it as a last resort.

I hope that the debate topics in the following competitions can be more normal and not be so open again.

He chose to chat with his teammates for a while in a low-key manner, wait for the audience and the other party to leave, and then leave quietly - after all, if he leaves early, it will not be good if someone from the media blocks the interview and asks him about his political position, why he sprays everyone when he sees it. Hide on stage for a while, and reporters can't rush up in public to interview.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and he was about to get up, but he saw two judges just now coming over, it was Gao Dasong and CCTV's Luo Fatzi, who were also old acquaintances. It seemed that he wanted to chat with Feng Jianxiong for a while.

"You two, this is ...... The event isn't over yet, so it's not good to be in public. Feng Jianxiong was slightly embarrassed and reminded kindly.

He doesn't want to give people the impression that "the contestants and the judges are already old acquaintances", and I believe that the judges will also cherish this credibility. So Feng Jianxiong thought that the other party was just negligent.

"It's okay, we're not judges in the finals later. The tall pine folding fan shook, with an understatement of pointing at the country, "Although we were not the guests to ask questions just now, Luo Pang sat down and told me a question in private, guess your position." I thought it was interesting, so I'm going to ask – it's not a formal debate, it's okay to think about it. ”

"I see, please. Feng Jianxiong changed his expression and listened to the question humbly.

"Xiao Feng, looking at your consistent stance on so many competitions, I think you seem to support scientific and technological progress and media openness, but every time you can pick out a lot of shortcomings and faults in the development of media technology.

I've read you on a wide range of topics, from piracy to restrictions on private cars to lifelong education, all from a critical standpoint – so I'm curious, do you think, 'Are technological advances making human beings more equal, or more unequal?' It's not a debate, you can talk about it. ”

Feng Jianxiong bowed slightly, thought for a while, and felt that Gao Dasong and Luo Fatzi were really a little level, and thought of asking him this core question.

Feng Jianxiong has always been in the major debate competitions, all the debate topics involving future prospects are actually related to this core question: scientific and technological progress, economic globalization, and deepening interconnection, will human beings become more and more equal or more unequal?

This is the most fundamental tone. If one can read one's general position on this subject, it will be easier to make predictions by looking at his sub-arguments on specific issues.

"It's too broad to generalize. I think it's still necessary to analyze the specific problems on a case-by-case basis. Feng Jianxiong thought about it and didn't give a direct answer.

The topic of Luo Fatzi also attracted the attention of some viewers who had not yet left the scene, and even the CCTV film crew, who took out their mobile phones to shoot in this direction, and spontaneously quieted down and listened.

"Is it 'concrete analysis and seeking truth from facts' again? Can you stop talking about clichés, give a general position, and then make a specific analysis when encountering 'exceptions.'" "Luo Fatzi obviously has some interview and cliché skills, so he won't let it go at all.

"It's really hard to generalize - if you have to say, you can talk about your 'subject view' and then I tell you what the loopholes are, and you can see that I have some support and some opposition. Feng Jianxiong didn't let go of his mouth at all, obviously not saying anything rash easily.

"Tsk, you...... It's said that it's not a debate competition, it's a small talk among friends, and that's it. Gao Dasong made peace beside him, and then changed his words and asked Luo Fatzi to state his position first.

"Okay, then I'll start with - I think the progress of science and technology has made human beings more and more equal. Therefore, I don't think the opposing arguments in so many of your original debates are actually very mainstream.

I've seen quite a few of them, and I think I'm right, so I'll paraphrase them - for example, as we all know, in the days when there were no refrigerators, Louis XIV already had a kitchen of 500 people, and he wanted to eat all kinds of fresh food, and he could still eat it.

Even if everyone is not familiar with Louis XIV, let's talk about Alexandre Dumas's "The Count of Monte Cristo", the count in the book can eat fresh Volga sturgeon and caviar in Paris, which is nothing more than spending a lot of money to ship the fish alive to Marseille, and then send it to Paris with ice cubes.

Therefore, the birth of the refrigerator is actually to solve the inequality problem of human society in eating fresh and non-local food, so that the poor can also afford it.

For example, in the seventies and eighties of the last century, technological progress in biological breeding led to the emergence of seedless watermelons. But even in the era when there was no seedless watermelon technology, such as the late Qing Dynasty, Lafayette had already eaten seedless melons - to eat melons once, let the palace maid and eunuch take four excellent melons, and use a special knife to only take the four melon pulp balls in the core to put on the plate, because the core of the melon pulp has no seeds. Eat the rest and throw the rest to the palace maids.

So now with seedless watermelon technology, in fact, it solves the problem that the poor who have no money can eat watermelon without spitting out melon seeds, just like the original aristocracy, isn't this technology making the world more equal?

Although, in this process, the Matthew effect exists, and people who invent new technologies and applications make a lot of money and become upstarts, which also changes the map of wealth. However, the material enjoyment of the poor has really improved, and there is a tendency to gradually equalize with the super-rich and aristocracy in those years.

Isn't that enough to say that 'technological progress in general has made humanity more and more equal, not more and more unequal?'"

Several teammates around Feng Jianxiong, especially those who were not deep in skill and had slightly worse strain, couldn't help but be a little shaken after listening to Luo Fatzi's high-spirited words.

"It seems that this fat man is also quite upright, scientific and technological progress always makes the world better, and it should make human beings more equal, right? Xiaoxiong (Senior Feng) has always considered so much speculation, nothing more than encouragement without anything, and tried to think of possible problems, but it really should not be denied for the general tone. ”

"Why does it always sound like something is wrong? To be able to eat seedless watermelon and fresh Volga sturgeon in ancient times, it seems that you don't need to be called a lonely widow to have this kind of strength.

Rich businessmen can buy a Bingjian, they can also eat fresh off-site specialties, and they don't need the queen mother's dignity to eat a few melons, but ordinary rich people didn't expect this level of extravagance. Luo Fatzi's words should have deliberately removed the skin of 'scientific and technological progress makes ordinary poor and middle-class rich people more equal', and secretly replaced it with the concept of 'scientific and technological progress makes ordinary poor and top rulers more equal', so there is a big problem......"

This was Yu Meiqin's idea, she was obviously calmer than the other two teammates, and she was not easily fooled.

Sure enough, Feng Jianxiong only thought for a few seconds, and then refuted: "These words should be written by some Amway science writers behind closed doors~ It seems to make sense, but in fact, the concept is changed." ”
