Chapter 78: The Death of Civilization
Since you have forgotten the words, then make an impromptu speech, and talk about where you think of it.
As for whether it is off-topic, Li Qing doesn't care at all.
Because he often digresses.
And at the very beginning, he made an argument, death.
"People always have to die when they live, but some people are waiting for death, and when they are seventy or eighty, Lord Yama will take him away; Some people are looking for death, constantly fighting, constantly making money, and constantly striving for their ideals. Many people die for hard work, for making money, for ideals! ”
Li Qing said, putting forward an argument: "And many families are also faced with a choice, looking for death or waiting for death." In "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Baoyu has been waiting for death, enjoying a good life, and waiting for the family to fall; And Jia He, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, etc. have been looking for death, causing trouble for Jiafu everywhere, and accelerating the defeat of the family in advance! ”
"And a country is also faced with two choices, looking for death or waiting for death. Fighting for hegemony is tantamount to looking for death; If you don't fight for hegemony, you are tantamount to waiting for death. Historically, Mongolia was so powerful, swept the Eurasian continent, the Mongols established a powerful army, the peak to the extreme, but also squandered the country's vitality, the earliest defeat, the country's lifespan, far lower than the Jin Dynasty, Liao. And the Song Dynasty has been waiting for death, waiting for internal contradictions to break out, completely going to death, and waiting to be destroyed by a powerful alien race! ”
"It is very difficult for a country to find a balance between waiting for death and looking for death, and to find the best national policy, and it is a test of the wisdom of its leaders!"
Speaking of this, Li Qing stopped talking.
To be self-aware, it is better for literati not to participate in politics, otherwise there will be no good end.
The literati do not participate in politics because they do not understand politics, and participating in it will only do bad things; The literati don't understand politics, but if they participate in it, they will only be crushed by the whirlpool of politics.
Just talked about it superficially, without going too deep, Li Qing touched on another topic: "People are born and die, and no one can live forever, but they can prolong their life and become long-lived through guò drug treatment, genetic modification, etc.; There are ups and downs in the family, and no family can last forever, but it may be able to innovate internally, improve and prolong the life of the family, or even revive again after the demise of a family; A country has declined from its prosperity, and no country has prospered for a long time, but it can live a series of reasonable national policies, culture, domestic and foreign affairs, etc., to prolong the life of the country; A civilization may go to the twilight, but it can absorb the nutrients of other civilizations, rejuvenate itself, and start a new round of civilization reincarnation! ”
"This involves a key point, how to prolong life, how to bring the dead back to life, and how to revive civilization!"
Speaking of this, Li Qing subconsciously stopped talking.
Many people listened intently, obviously a little fascinated, although Li Qing's speech was a little off-topic.
"I don't know how people can live longer, because I'm not a biologist and don't understand too esoteric technology!" Li Qing said: "First of all, I will talk about how the family can extend its lifespan. In "Dream of Red Mansions", there are four major families, among which the Jia family has two ancestors, namely the first generation of Ning Guogong, Rong Guogong relied on military merits and hard work to achieve the title, which is a positive asset. ”
"And the second generation, Jia Daihua, Jia Daishan, etc., has no outstanding contributions, but they have not caused trouble, and they are zero-sum assets."
And the third generation, Jia Jing, Jia Amnesty, and Jia Zheng. Jia Jing did not do his job, believed in nihilism, swallowed dansha and died, in modern terms, he was the third generation of nobles, who took too many drugs and sucked himself to death; And Jia pardons a scumbag, except for bullying men and women, causing trouble everywhere, and ruining the reputation of the family, there is no superfluous advantage; And Jia Zheng is virtuous and talentless, and often does bad things with good intentions, the most typical thing is that he promoted Jia Yucun, a big corrupt official, to an official and did a lot of bad things. As the saying goes, I don't kill Beren, and Beren dies because of me. Jia Zheng has never done bad things in his life, but he has aided and abused the abuse, and he has done a lot of bad things with good intentions. The third generation, all of them are negative equity! ”
"As for the fourth generation, most of them are negative assets, and only Jia Baoyu is a zero-sum asset!"
"The fifth generation, most of them are still young, they can't tell whether they are good or bad, and most of them are zero-sum assets!"
"The gentleman's ze, the fifth and beheaded. Therefore, the Jia family has only five generations, and after five generations, it will perish. And the demise of the Jia family, some say that the backer has arrived, such as the death of Concubine Yuan; Some say that they have offended people who should not be offended, such as Prince Zhongshun. And these are not real reasons, the real reason is that the Jia family has too many negative assets and too few positive assets, which leads to the demise of the family! ”
And what is positive equity and what is negative equity? Positive assets mean that you have more obligations than you have received; Negative equity means that you get more rights than you pay obligations! ”
"In the Spring and Autumn Period, many scholars, after receiving the reward of the sovereign, often had to measure whether their virtues, talents, merits, etc., could match the reward. I often worry that my virtue is too little merit to be worthy of the reward of the Lord! ”
"In society, there is often the idea of hating the rich! And the essence of hating the rich is that some people get too much and pay too little, causing social dissatisfaction! Some people rely on hard work, rely on their ability to eat, and rely on their vision to make money, even if they become millionaires, multimillionaires, billionaires, they will not arouse the idea of hating the rich. Even if they ride in luxury cars and drive yachts, no one will say anything. Because this is what they get after putting in the effort, it is reasonable and legal. However, some people rely on relationships to make money, rely on power to suppress opponents, and rely on unfair competition to obtain profits, which naturally causes social dissatisfaction and hatred of the rich. ”
"There are also some people, relying on the efforts of their parents, who have gained power and wealth lightly, but they don't know how to cherish it, and they squander power and wealth everywhere, which is too public. If you give too little and get too much, it will naturally arouse the envy of the society and produce the idea of hating the rich! ”
"A family, there are too many negative assets, and too few positive assets, which is equivalent to constantly consuming the vitality of the family, and when the vitality of the family is exhausted, it is the time when the family perishes. At that time, even if there is a backer, it will be destroyed, and the backer will only help the strong but not the weak! ”
"A country has too many negative assets and too few positive assets, which is equivalent to consuming a country's national fortunes, and when the national fortunes are exhausted, it is the time when the country perishes. Historically, after experiencing the shame of Jingkang, why the Song Dynasty did not perish and was able to rule by dividing the river is because the kings of the Song Dynasty have accumulated too many positive assets. And the Song Dynasty finally died in the Yuan Dynasty because the positive assets of the likes of Yue Fei were too little, and the negative assets were too much. In the later period, there were more and more negative assets and fewer and fewer positive assets, so the Song Dynasty died! ”
It seems that he feels a little unpleasant, Li Qing added another fire, "If you want to measure how much life Donghua has, how long Donghua can last, in fact, it is very simple, that is, to measure Donghua's positive assets, how many negative assets there are, the proportion of them, the social role they play, etc., and make a systematic social survey, you can draw conclusions." ”
"The so-called positive assets, negative assets, not GDP numbers, not how many mineral resources the country has, how many industries, these are all foreign things. A country has only one real asset, and that is its people. Test the mental state of some people, test it, people at all levels, get the comparison with the pay, and you will get the answer! ”
