Chapter 7: The Man Who Can't Go Back

Admitting mistakes is far more difficult than we think, the older people get, the more powerful they are in their ability to perceive the world, the more confident they will be in their judgments, at this time, admitting mistakes is not the so-called "made mistakes, been educated by teachers, and then corrected" simple situation when we were children, but in denying the self-confidence that we have accumulated, which is unforgivable.

On the other hand, it is far more difficult to admit your mistakes when you are cornered by others than it is to discover your mistakes yourself – contrary to what we generally believe. The reason is actually not complicated, we find our own mistakes and correct them, which will give us an additional sense of accomplishment to counteract the frustration of failure, we can be complacent about our willingness to admit our mistakes, show that we are an enlightened person, and we can also be complacent about our own timely misunderstanding, showing that although we are not correct at the beginning, we can correct it in time, which is at least second-class excellence. On the other hand, admitting mistakes when being cornered by others is a complete failure that does not leave yourself any room to make amends. So even if it turns out to be a complete mistake, people will go to great lengths to justify themselves.

What Biqigu is facing now is probably the worst situation. If anything, it was not his sister or Tozuka-senpai who could make him feel relieved to say these words, but Yubihama Kazuya who stood in front of him with a cold face.

Instead of frantically justifying and running away like the villain in the movie after his failures were exposed, or rushing around like a cowardly character who was known the secret, Hikiya is probably trying his best to keep his composure. He stared more closely at his desk, as if trying to get a revelation through it again. The pencil in his hand kept turning, and it was getting faster and faster.

In the end, the speed of Hikigu's hand finally couldn't keep up with the speed of the pen's rotation, and as if it was an announcement, the pencil fell to the ground with a "snap".

When Hikiya picked up the pencil that had fallen on the ground, his head was lifted with it.

Trying to refute at this time is just a feeble tinkering with a proof that is inherently unreasonable. Biqigu is a smart enough person that he wouldn't do that.

"I mean, if I were a little more stupid, Yubihama, you'd be even harder, wouldn't you?" he asked.

"This assumption doesn't make much sense. ”

"Well, I'm just assuming that the most troublesome thing is usually not to explain the truth or falsehood of a proposition to a smart person, but to deal with the nonsense of a fool!"

"Seniors seem to have a deep understanding of it?"

"It's not like that, but I imagined in my heart that if I were to mess around, Yubihama would have a headache, and I thought it would be interesting. ”

"Please, please don't do that. ”

- So in fact, Bi Qigu's words are only half right, and what is more troublesome than the nonsense from the stupid person is the nonsense from the smart person, which means that the other party is obviously aware of his own problem but is unwilling to admit it, this is no longer a simple problem of right and wrong judgment, but a perceptual problem, this kind of problem can not be solved by ordinary communication.

"I saw the questioning of the student council president in the previous election under the snow, you did a good job, but the reaction under the snow was really bad, even if she couldn't refute it, she should have dealt with it more decently. Biqigu changed the subject somewhat unexpectedly.

"Yes, if it had been under the snow when we first met, I might not have been able to take my skepticism into account, but at least it would have been more adequate. ”

"You've put a lot of work into creating this result, haven't you?"

"Actually, it's not much, it's just a matter of situation, only in the last few steps of some design, with the situation under the snow, even if you don't rely on me gradually, you will rely on other people, if you are a little more positive, maybe you may not be, like you did during your school vacation. ”

"I understand," Hikiya nodded, "so I didn't know what it was like until the student council president election, but I wasn't surprised by the result. But, after that, your plan doesn't seem to be executing as expected!"

"To be exact, it's not the plan itself that has a problem, but the person who executed the plan has an accident, and it's almost the same state as the predecessors now!"

Hikiya raised an eyebrow, but he did a good job of suppressing his displeasure at my sarcasm.

"Isn't it because the person who executed this plan was as overconfident as me, and what's so strange about ending up like me?"

"Yes, I'm overconfident, actually, all three of us are overconfident. ”

"Three?"

"That's right, three of you, including under the snow," I nodded, and said, "So, Hikiya-senpai, don't you miss the three of us when we first got together in the Ministry of Service?"

"Nostalgia for that time?"

"Actually, I think Hiratsuka-sensei's plan is quite a failure, she brought together three people who are all a little overconfident, and her original plan was to make us slowly compromise in mutual communication and mutual criticism with each other, and find a relatively soft way of looking at the world in the center, right? But the end result is not like this, at the beginning of the activity we will compromise with each other, and at the appropriate time to adopt the most suitable person to propose a solution, but gradually, in order to prove our own right, we began to be a little persistent, and even a little tough to implement our own ideas, the end result is that some people's ideas are dominated by others, and some people's ideas finally go to the extreme, which is exactly the opposite of what Hiratsuka-sensei wants us to achieve!"

"So she hasn't been showing up lately? That guy, don't you care if you make a big deal out of it? Show me a little bit of a teacher when it matters!" said Bikiya with some grumbling.

"Maybe we're thinking about a way to solve the problem - to be honest, this extreme tendency of ours almost exploded in the aftermath of the cultural festival, and the teacher must have been very anxious about facing this situation. Of course, she is your second-grade teacher, and you have more of a say. ”

"Maybe it's a guess that's closer, right?" said Bikiya with a wry smile.

So, going back to the beginning, I'm not denying the argument of my predecessors, just like the theoretical assumption of that transition, that it applies as long as certain conditions are met. There may not be an ultimate theory that can explain all problems, but for a particular problem, it will eventually have a relatively suitable methodology - whether it is me, my predecessors, or even under the snow, the mistake is to try to universalize a theoretical model. Not all problems can be solved through self-sacrifice, but in the same way, there may be some problems that must be solved by self-sacrifice, and more importantly, not to come up with a universal solution to the problem, but to consider the specific context, right?"

"Is this what Yubihama thinks now?"

"Of course, not all problems can be solved in the way of 'considering the specific context', according to this interpretation, then the theory is meaningless, the value of the theory lies in the abstraction of a certain way of thinking about the problem and dealing with the problem in a specific context, which depends on the focus of your view of the problem, but also depends on the purpose you want to achieve. Of course, in addition to this, there are some common values that need to be observed, and one of the key values is people's own thoughts and judgments. ”

"But, you know, people can't always make the right choices. The story of Socrates is already well known, isn't it?"

The ending of Socrates' story is also well known – he was tried by a mob, who knew the dangers of the mob but did not deny them the freedom to make their choice. If you think that the mob, or someone else, can't make the right choice, and the choice always puts the power to make the choice in your own hands, then we've both experienced the consequences, haven't we?"

"Are you sure you didn't go from one extreme to the other?"

"Of course not, it's never all right to give the choice to someone else. It's just that we don't have the right to deprive them of that right, do we?"

"So, that's what you want to do under the snow now, right?"

"It's not just under the snow, it's other people. ”

"It may not turn out the way you want, Yubihama. ”

"There's no way around that, is it? It's the price I pay for the choices I make. ”

"Well, if that's the case, then you should try!"

"Seniors than Qigu, don't you think about going back and working together?"

"Me?" Biqiya raised an eyebrow, and finally, shook his head with a complicated face, "At least for now, I shouldn't be able to, after all, I've been away from that place for too long, and I don't know how to go back, and I don't know what I can do when I go back." ”

--------------------------------------PS-----------------------------------------

Although I've been criticizing the big teacher in my article, it's not that I don't like the big teacher, and my criticism of the big teacher is not so much aimed at him, but at those who regard the big teacher as an idol, probably those who brush "it's exactly like me" on the barrage. Biqigu is a very charismatic character, but I have always felt that he is not an object worth emulating, he doesn't look like Long Aotian, but if we look closely, he is simply Long Aotian, and he often uses some very bad choices to achieve some relatively good results, which is also very protagonist's aura.

Of course, in addition,I recognize the depth of thinking of the character of the big teacher.,So in the original setting,I still planned a few rival scenes for the conflict between Kazuya and Biqigu.,The first two volumes are written more.,Of course, from the fourth volume onwards,,I'm a little overwhelmed by the increasingly complex character relationships.,So I can only try to write the interaction between Kazuya and several heroines clearly.,The other branches can be cut off.。 The main victims here are probably Brother Chun Dongma and Bi Qi Valley, including the pit of the big teacher, that is, he reluctantly explained, and it can only be said that the pen is insufficient-the problem of marginalization of supporting roles seems to have been unable to overcome it, and the next one should be a lily group drama type of text, the protagonist is not so clear, and strive to change this problem.

The last half is the second half.,The idea of the protagonist is basically like this.,There won't be much change.,Let's just think it's a summary of the vernacular version of the private goods that the book wants to pour.,There shouldn't be such a big fragment of these words in the future.,Well,Write the plot obediently.。
