Chapter 174: Paradox
『Click on the chapter to report an error』
There is a paradox on the scientific earth, at least for the royal families of the European continent, the war between them makes them have to rely more and more on the subject of war, human beings, or civilians.
That is, after the end of the Middle Ages, the wisdom and technology of the European continent continued to sink to the people, and in the end, what the royal family could control, that is, a few corgi dogs, they couldn't even control their own princesses to steal people.
And on the spell earth, there are indeed some places, some times, that have been done, with royal nobles or religious leaders, after mastering some magic mysteries, they use this knowledge to completely suppress internally, attack externally, and even fight is not ugly.
This difference is naturally due to the difference between magic and technology.
Science needs an industrial chain, it needs to educate researchers, it needs industrial workers, from mining, research and development to the production and use of arms, this industrial chain from top to bottom, and the number of workers who provide a living for this industrial chain, is staggering.
If you want to work for others, you have to give some benefits.
As a result, more and more people have a better life.
For Spell Earth, it doesn't have to be like this at all.
The king appoints a chief mage, who does not necessarily have to be a grand master, but only needs to be able to lead a few mage apprentices to extinguish the flames of resistance in the country.
And in the face of those peasant rebels who lack resources and don't know how to practice, maybe the knight lord's plate armor can rely on traps and numerical advantages to fight desperately.
However, once a war is started with a foreign country, this is different.
A great master is still too little, what if he hangs up, will this king step down?
Eventually, spell education began to sink gradually.
At first, it may just be that the master casually gave a servant a lighting technique, a fire technique, or a water flow technique, so that the servant could do his work better.
But because they are so useful, more and more spells are circulating among the servants.
Even if you didn't educate any spells with combat effectiveness at the beginning, you can't stand the population base, and there are enough geniuses.
There is talent, slowly stealing learning, and there are always civilians who begin to emerge and learn real spells.
Wang Jian once saw statistics, in ancient times, those who began to study spells were the first ancestors of human beings such as the Suiren clan, and then later, in fact, there were cases where only nobles learned spells, and only nobles could become great masters.
But in modern times, since knowledge is no longer monopolized, the most interesting thing is that the strong are no longer the kind of strong people who are high above.
Speaking of breaking through the heavens, if the rule of the secret realm continues the system of the Han Dynasty in the past, then it is obvious that in Wang Jian's view, it is a matter of time before the collapse is banned.
But they didn't collapse or split, they didn't run away from Huaguo on a large scale, and they went back to beg the mother country of Huaguo to take over, so it would be interesting.
For Wang Jian, who is accustomed to seeing deceitful and unwilling, this is the most incredible place.
Based on human nature, people always want to get more, although the richest man in the world bought a mansion again, and the fact that he recognized his goddaughter with a popular female model also made them extremely indignant, but then there will be countless dicks who kneel and lick the goddess in the past, no matter how many "godfathers" the goddess has had.
However, this kind of generosity often makes dozens of dollars more because of hard work or luck, and that kind of jealousy can simply break through the sky.
At the same time, everyone knows that the benefits of simple housekeeping, spending money indiscriminately and ruining the family.
However, your lovely little grandson just needs a few maids to serve him, and you are willing to let him have an empty quilt at night, which is nothing more than a warm bed.
For example, the things on the market, imported goods are naturally good, after all, they are the products of foreign adults, the same quality, the price difference is ten times, you are willing to let your son use ordinary domestic goods, and use the same clothes and cars as those children of untouchable families?
Under the normal circumstances of such people, the emergence of a privileged class is simply a matter of course.
People with lofty ideals in the history of China do not understand what it means to let generations of people dominate the core of power in a country.
However, as the high-ranking people, the so-called heroes who fought with the imperial power did not care about anything, they only pursued how to make their children and grandchildren the top figures at the top of the pyramid of the country for generations to come.
As for what national interests are damaged, the country is backward, and the country is humiliated, please.
People are not stupid.
Let's take an analogy.
Someone opened a store, you are a manager inside, relying on you are the descendant of the backbone of the store when you opened the store and started a business, you got a position, the mix is not bad, this position is not busy, the income is high, usually harassing a beautiful waitress recruited, the boss can only pretend not to see.
You have a very fat position, and without you, the company is likely to break your muscles and bones, and you will have a serious illness, which is really unaffordable.
So, of course you're being unscrupulous.
However, suddenly one day, in the store next door, new equipment and new dishes were suddenly introduced, such as what Makqin, such as what corporatization, anyway, once you use that thing, your position is over, but not only the position, but also the silver house ticket girl car group fight with the representative of the position.
So what do you do?
Slandering the people next door is not good, there is no quality, and they can't afford to eat tea eggs, that's the basic operation, anyway, "this is the glorious tradition of our store, wrapping small feet is a tradition, and big smoke is also a tradition, and it is not allowed to confront the tradition." ”
And, even if the store has been beaten to the point of dying, you must move out of the nonsense that your ancestors said when they participated in the business, and regard it as a golden law, and the law of the ancestors cannot be abolished.
That's where the dilemma lies.
Many people don't like problems and think that once they happen, they will bring countless troubles to people and affect people's lives. However, there are also some people who prefer problems and see them as opportunities.
In fact, problems arise for a reason, and solving them is not as difficult as people think. There is a necessary causal relationship between the cause of the problem and the problem, and as long as this causal relationship is discovered, and then the cause of the problem is discovered, then the problem can be easily solved.
Once a problem is solved, it can be very beneficial for both the individual and the collective. Because in this way, both the individual and the collective are tempered and grown.
The problem is actually a superficial phenomenon. Behind it, there is often something more important, and that is the truth.
The most important rule that must be followed when solving a problem is to be based on facts. Behind the problem is the truth.
If you really want to solve the problem, you can't just look at the surface of the problem, but collect a lot of information related to the problem.
Real conclusions can only be drawn before an objective analysis can be carried out to arrive at the most desired results.
A systems mindset.
Systems thinking is about "looking at the whole", that is, thinking that all events in our study, work, and life are interrelated, rather than simply linear single-causal relationships. For example, if you think that you don't do well because you do too little on the topic, this is a single causal relationship.
In fact, there are many reasons for "bad grades", it may be because you are not focused enough, it may be because you have just fallen out of love, or because you have not mastered the correct study methods, and you stay up late to brush up on the questions will make you more unfocused and have worse grades. If we think of the process of "learning" as a system, it contains many links: previewing, attending lectures, taking notes, self-study, recalling, etc., and our energy—physical, emotional, thinking, and willing—affects the effectiveness of each of these links.
For example, yesterday you had a big fight with your girlfriend, and now you are in a cold war. It seems to you that you just forgot about the "anniversary", and she actually made a big fuss. Although you said "dear, I was wrong", in your heart you felt that she was making trouble, and thought that you wanted to "break the fortune and eliminate the disaster" to please her. In fact, before that, she had already complained about your habits of not doing laundry and messing around, and blamed you for indulging in games every day and not wanting to make progress, but you didn't care, and the "sudden outbreak" of quarrels was also the result of long-standing dissatisfaction.
If you think of your intimacy as a system, the key to longevity isn't emptying your shopping cart right away – even if it seems like a relief. In the long run, you need to get rid of your sloppy habits and make yourself healthier and more uplifting, and she becomes more tolerant, so that there will be fewer conflicts between you.
Systems thinking requires us to see the process of change. Any changes that affect the system are not instantaneous, but one can often only see the straw that breaks the camel's back. With systems thinking in mind, you'll be alert to the first signs of something bad, rather than waiting until it becomes a catastrophe to thump your chest and be annoyed. Similarly, small, focused actions, when chosen in the right place, can sometimes lead to measurable, sustainable improvements, a phenomenon we call "leverage."
We have been taught to be faithful to the point where everyone feels like a screw on the assembly line, as long as they do the repetitive mechanical work of their position.
This kind of misthinking will bring trouble in two aspects: one is the simplification of positions caused by high specialization, and once you encounter layoffs and leave your position, it is likely that it will be difficult to find a job that meets your expectations in the short term. The second is to only pay attention to their own positions, and lack a sense of responsibility for the relationship between positions, and once there is a mistake, they will kick each other's balls.
Their own positions, and lack of responsibility for the relationship between positions, once there is a mistake, they will kick the ball with each other.
If you feel that your responsibility as a student is to "learn the textbook well" and "complete the homework on time", and you will never be an advanced learner if you do not actively acquire more knowledge outside of the classroom and textbooks.
The negative effect of "my position is my position". When something goes wrong, each of us has a habit of blaming someone or something outside of us.
The marketing department blamed the production department: "We can't complete the target, and we blame the product quality." The production department blamed the engineering department: "We want to make a good product, but your design is terrible." The engineering department blamed the marketing department: "If it weren't for the marketing department's blind opinions, we would definitely have been able to design better products." ”
Similarly, you might say, "It's all because the alarm clock didn't go off in the morning, so I went to sleep." "My girlfriend doesn't understand me at all, it's because the two of us are like this because of her!" "I didn't do well in the exam this time, and I blamed the teacher for being too perverted, and the papers were biased and difficult." "The last problem has not been solved, and I have become a bag full of negative energy, as if the whole world can't get along with you, and I can't help you - but I don't know that the key to solving all problems is in my own hands.
For the same reason, superficial thinking is always going to be problematic.
If you don't do your research, you'll never find the real source of the problem.
Therefore, the first point is to establish the concept of causal cycle, use a systematic way to think about problems, and change our original linear single-causal thinking model.
When encountering a problem, there must no longer be such and such an idea that it is so-and-so that causes this to happen, and we must also change the way of dealing with the problem simply and arbitrarily.
Don't think when you encounter a problem you don't understand, whether I'm too stupid, don't think when you're in trouble at work, it's a big deal to quit, don't think when you encounter emotional problems, it's a big deal to break up. In the system, every influential role is both a cause and an effect, and there is no role that exists in only one direction, and the starting point of all changes is actually ourselves.
Therefore, for Wang Jian, the information about the secret realm is too small and too simple, so that he lacks practical and accurate judgment, which is simply more uncomfortable than killing him.
Long Yifei thought for a long time, found an opportunity, took advantage of Lu Qingyi's insight, looked at Wang Jian with a complicated expression, and said: "I will settle accounts with you when I go back, this is my latest production, it is easy to open the spell, before using it, plug your ears, it has a miraculous effect." ”
The talisman made by the great grandmaster can carry such a vast and complex talisman thing, which is almost a high-priced item, and Wang Jian thought for a moment about how much money he could make by selling it when he returned home.
Of course, he was currently in a very dangerous period, so he naturally didn't dare to say more, but took it with a bit of flattery, and what he wanted to say was stopped by his cold face.
Now I belong to people who have made mistakes, and I am discriminated against.
Lu Qingyi also saw it in her eyes, but she had already given her things to Wang Jian, so she immediately said: "Bring the Dragon Horn Sword, use it as soon as you have something, I inquired, there were not many artifacts brought over by this plane back then, so many years have passed, it must have been finished long ago, and the Dragon Horn Sword is an invincible existence in this world." ”
